I’m an older millennial who’s fairly into vaporwave and I’ve never heard of this racist rapper version of mac tonight. The food mascot from the 80s (twenty years ago was 2004, btw) fits in with the 80s samples vaporwave uses, like this Saint Pepsi track:
I really don’t think it’s hydraulics - there are five pumps, two engine driven (including if it’s turned off and windmilling) and three electric (which can be battery driven) across three independent hydraulic circuits. The plane was also well controlled on approach which means they likely still had hydraulic flight surface control.
The APU doesn’t have a hydraulic system. There are three redundant electric pumps however, and these can run off the battery. Regardless, I don’t believe there was any issue with the hydraulics as the plane was well controlled on the final approach.
EMAS requires a certain pressure to break through the surface. It’s designed for gear down overruns, not belly landings. I don’t think it’d do much if it were installed in this case.
the surface area leading to the EMAS bed has poor braking characteristics
there is minimal or no structural damage to the landing gear
there is no aircraft braking or use of reverse thrust / reverse pitch once an aircraft enters the EMAS
That penultimate point is key. It’s not designed for a no gear landing, or even damaged gear landing. It adds friction by the gear sinking into the materials.
I’m inclined to believe hydraulics were functioning based on the stabilized approach. The recent Azeri plane crash is what it looks like when you have no hydraulics. Granted, different planes, 737 NG has manual control, but it’d be difficult. Aside from a little shimmy the approach was good, especially considering they whipped a 180 after that first landing attempt on runway 01. The plane seemed to be well in control.
Also of note, there doesn’t appear to be any rudder applied on the approach, so one engine out seems to not be the case. They also tracked straight down the centerline so no asymmetric thrust. This would imply they either had both engines or no engines. I’m hesitant to believe both engines were out due to the speed they had after scraping down the runway, with the nose in the air.
I’m wondering if they got task saturated after the bird strike and quick go around 180, didn’t hear the “too low, gear” warning, then got spooked from the scrape and attempted a go around like that PIA crash. The initial tail strike happened way earlier on the runway, they floated for a long time after that initial contact.
Altogether very strange. Definitely a lot of Swiss cheese holes aligning in a terrible way. Very curious to see what’s recovered from the FDR and CVR.
737 NG alt flaps work up to 230 knots, well above landing speed. Landing with hydraulics out is the primary function of the alt flaps system. It's really slow, however, so flaps 15 is typically the most they use.
This crash is very strange to me. No flaps (even if hydraulics fail, there's electrical backup), no gear (there's gravity extension backup), landed way down the runway (9000' should have been plenty, gear up landing has been done in shorter distances)... what happened?
My guess at the moment: bird strike made the pilots panic, they didn't ensure the plane was in the correct configuration when attempting the second landing, and tried to put it down soft and ended up going long?
What do I know though, I'm not a pilot, just a fan of disasters and flight simulation. Guess I'll have to see what blancolirio has to say.
Edit: Juan Browne, aka Blancolirio on YouTube finally posted a video on this, probably some of the best insight we'll get at this early stage.
Diarrhea isn’t necessarily “used” by the body in all cases. With things like rotavirus and Vibrio (cholera) it’s caused by the infectious agent and aids in its spread. It can be so severe it kills the person via dehydration.
Redacted. Frankly though Bandcamp has most of what I want and I don’t mind paying if it’s reasonable. I only turn to RED when I can’t find it on BC. Movies and TV though I’m 100% pirating regardless.
I like private trackers for music because what I’m looking for is niche and I’m a lossless whore. I like private trackers for movies/TV because I don’t have to use a VPN and I can find remuxes or tiny X265 rips to fill my Plex server with. I can’t remember the last time I used a public tracker.
Everyone knows their IFF is dogshit. There’s a surprising regularity to airlines being shot down, even before the war.
Which is crazy because all those airliners are squawking ADS-B while in the air, it’s not some complicated IFF system like you’d find on a fighter jet. Shit, I can pick up ADS-B when airliners fly over my house with a cheap ass SDR dongle and antenna.
They nailed the atmosphere, and the new map is great IMO. Lots of familiar sights across all three originals, and you’ll see many of the old characters too.
Bases were used because they were more compatible with the solder that connected copper pipes in older homes.
Bases are much more effective at breaking up organic matter than acids. You can pour concentrated acid on your hand to little effect if you rinse it off quickly. You will not be able to do this with strong bases (think that scene from Fight Club). Strong bases rapidly destroy organic matter.
If you need to dissolve a body, use lye, not some acid.
