Nice try, but that's clearly a super long exposure and that thing is only moving at a couple of rpm. ...right? ...right?

UraniumAnchor posted:Quick napkin math says after a 7 story free fall (~23 meters) you'd be going about 70kph, which is just this side of 'rough but survivable' with what amounts to a head on collision like that. Tom Cruise does this in one of the Mission Impossible movies and I've always wondered if him surviving was realistic. I guess it is!

Pile Of Garbage posted:Apparently anchor chains aren't actually attached to ships and there's usually only a hand-operated braking mechanism that prevents the entire thing from just violently throwing itself overboard (As the video shows). If this is the case, how does the anchor stop the ship from drifting around when it's used properly?

Omnikin posted:Putting out a request for any great dramatic articles on OSHA disasters. I know I've read a few in this thread's history on the El Faro sinking, the Challenger disaster and the hurricane hunters plane in... Hugo? I believe. A fun story in which no one dies: the Gimli Glider. A series of fuckups leads to a 767 taking off with about half the fuel it was supposed to have and running out at altitude. quote:Pearson and Quintal immediately began making preparations for a one engine landing. Then another fuel light lit up. Two minutes later, just as preparations were being completed, the EICAS issued a sharp bong--indicating the complete and total loss of both engines. Says Quintal "It's a sound that Bob and I had never heard before. It's not in the simulator." After the "bong," things got quiet. Real quite. Starved of fuel, both Pratt & Whitney engines had flamed out.

Not a shutter per se, but cheap CCD cameras do have that effect with rapidly moving objects. It takes a certain amount of time to move the image from the sensor silicon into the rest of the camera circuitry and it's still capturing light while that happens.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:i figure the power management firmware is probably smarter than me about this by now, but what's the actual best practices? This is pretty much correct and what you're doing right now is safe. Allow the battery to get very low once or twice a month to keep it healthy and fully discharge it if you know the device is not going to be used for several months.

The U2 does not have a drop nose and as a result the pilot can't see the runway at all when landing. Fortunately its airspeed is so low at that point that a second pilot goes out in a chase car and follows you down the runway guiding you in.
