LOO posted:Again, not so much mechanical failure as "hit by air-to-air missile": Holy poo poo. Was this plane carrying Admiral Yamamoto, or what? Digging around yielded the following, which matches the damage: http://www.globalsecurity.org/org/news/2003/0301-sam-threat01.htm posted:Although struck by an air-to-air missile, the Hawker 800 carrying Juvénal Habyarimana, the president of Rwanda, shows what a manpad can do. In the late 1980s, the business jet was flying over Angola when an Angolan MiG-23 pilot attacked it with two heat-seeking air-to-air missiles. The first warhead struck the right engine, tearing most of it from the mounts and puncturing the pressure vessel. The second missile locked onto the heat signature of the falling engine, which spared the airplane and the president. After an emergency landing, the Hawker was crated back to the UK and rebuilt to fly another day. I'd like to think that I live my life in a manner that doesn't piss off anyone else so much that they'd fire a missile at my goddamned airplane.

DethMarine21 posted:Yeah I remember reading about this in the trucking thread way back; it's a reactant to lower emissions. "AdBlue is the registered trademark for AUS32 (Aqueous Urea Solution 32.5%)..." So that's the blue stuff they're always dumping on diapers in commercials!

nitrogen posted:related: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-JQksYxgM0 (Bill Cosby - 200mph)  you for posting this. Some of Cosby's funniest work, and, even if you only think it's kind of funny, you need to listen to the whole thing. Payoff is worth it.
