Luneshot posted:Did the line discharge by arcing to the rock when it was still in the air (and then into the ground), because the rock gave it a conductive “halfway point” that it normally wouldn’t have? There is a copper wire tied around the rock and grounded to the Earth. The rock is a heavy weight to get the copper to the line, when then faults down the thin wire and evaporates it.

You can do something very similar with an Estes model rocket and a big spool of super fine magnet wire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34NpyA2OuaE Stormy days can become a lot more exciting, and you can have fun making bespoke pieces of Fulgurite.

Oh, I didn’t realize the rock had a trailing wire- I thought it was just a rock covered in copper foil or something, and the potential difference between the lines and the ground was so high that just throwing a well-placed conductor was enough to trigger arcing mid-air. A grounded wire makes far more sense for inducing the reaction we see in the video.

Michael Crichton wrote a book about how climate change was made up and had evil ecoterrorists using them to make fake weather. I'm just going to assume he started making hats as a hobby at some point after his career took off.

They're was actually two bad accidents yesterday, a ferry in Bangladesh got plowed under by a container ship and 50 some died, along with the 130 something in the plane. I thought about linking em but the ferry video is pretty bad since there was another boat pacing it the whole time

Given that strange period where it stopped diving, gained altitude and then dove again - could that figure with a mechanical issue or rule out that possibility? more: quote:It’s possible to come up with many scenarios for some type of malfunction, pilot miscues or some combination that led to the plunge, Berman said.

With Flight 261 the mechanical failure was not total until the pilots really fought with it at the end. Before that they were basically flying a roller coaster but when the stabilizer completely failed after they raised it to the max it broke loose and they went inverted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2A_fsx7prY Don't watch this unless you want youtub to just bombard you with plane crash videos.

I'd be cautious about using those flight tracking websites to make any kind of analysis like that without some other corroboration. They don't really have the detailed granularity and accuracy to identify very rapid changes, and I've seen some very extravagant claims made in previous incidents based on what turned out to be a small data glitch. It's possible that the plane briefly leveled off, but it also could be something like a single transponder hit not being time coded correctly, or something on the aircraft not reporting correctly while operating wildly outside of its designed tolerances.

I think Brian Emfinger is a storm chaser. I mean, not that he’s not bonkers, but it explains why he’s there.

Basic storm chasing knowledge says that if your dashcam shows rotating debris crossing the road in front of you, you would be an idiot to keep rolling towards it. Basically, you hosed up if you're that close, and that video is a weird combination of capturing a crazy moment while also revealing that you were in a terrible position.

From my experiences in mosh pits, this kind of behavior nets you a couple of cracked ribs. Gonna be some weeks of very painful breathing.
