  • Makes download speeds great, but upload drops off a cliff

  • With Trump as the only source of that information, I'm not going to take that at face value.

  • You can't exactly expect a plane to keep flying when you've commanded the engines to stop running/taken away their fuel at such a critical time...

  • There is no procedure that involves cutting off fuel to both engines while in-flight; one at a time, but not both. Then, there is no procedure that ever involves touching those controls during takeoff. Finally; there would be communication between the pilots discussing any such troubleshooting, they wouldn't just take it upon themselves to start flipping switches without at the very least letting the other pilot know what they're doing. Particularly when it comes to troubleshooting; there is a strict set of checklists they go through as a team, with one reading out questions, the other responding with data/answers from the instruments and the first confirming that response.

    These were both experienced pilots with ample flight hours; they knew what they were doing at those controls. I'm not going to throw human error out the window entirely, but it's not looking very likely unfortunately.

    Either that plane was brought down intentionally, or there was a stunning error in judgment wildly disregarding procedure in that cockpit that was not communicated at all. (note: the mics record to the blackbox continuously, they're not ptt, if one of the pilots had said something, it'd be on the tape.)

  • Just the domains? They'll be back under new names in a couple days max.

  • Both the left and right switchs were moved to 'cutoff', one pilot recognized this and asked the other pilot why, the other pilot denied doing it, then the switches were returned to 'run' and the engines began to re-light (this is all straight from the black box recorder). It was too late to recover though, so the plane went down.

    There is a mechanical detent requiring you to pull each switch out, then down. They had to be moved deliberately.

  • Given the mechanical saftey built into those switches, Unfortunately I guess that leaves us with two reasonable possibilities:

    A) One of the pilots was somehow mistaken on the function of those switches and toggled them when they should not have. Then they genuinely thought they hadn't when asked why they had cutoff fuel.

    Or

    B) One of the pilots chose to cut off fuel supply to both engines, intentionally bringing down the plane. They then lied to the other pilot when asked why they'd cutoff fuel.

  • They have metal detents; you have to pull the lever out, then push it down against a reasonably heavy spring.

    These had to be very deliberately moved to the cutoff position.

  • Not for control, but for tracking/monitoring.

    I'd imagine the people that sent it would like to know where it is and if it arrives or gets intercepted.

  • Our new AI has dubbed itself 'MechaHitler', we should give it a body to control... (or a few thousand bodies)

  • Man, I could really use some ice cream and a blowjob right about now. How do we hop timelines?

  • Had me in the first half, not gonna lie...

  • Idk... Storage, upkeep, anti-theft... Seems like a lot of work.

    You're damn right I would; get me a 3D printer big enough...
