Part of the Atlantic is cooling at record speed and nobody knows why


But, at least the science is settled.

 

My impression is that the weather is behaving like an erratic top going through precession ... a phase prior to its tipping point.

Or, it's behaving just like the weather.

 

People confusing weather with climate.

Some people are just confused on how to handle their long held feeling about climate change not happening being shown to be dross.

 

...climate change not happening...

What idiot thinks this?

I've flown out of that airport many a time. It's a nice airport. Wanted to say "little airport", but it really isn't. It's one of the 25 busiest airports in the U.S., with about 350,000 takeoffs and landings annually. It has more operations than many large international airports, but not nearly as many passengers going through it because it is corporate, general aviation, and some cargo.

The article said, "It's not immediately clear what caused the plane to plunge from the sky."

Really? Plunge? Talk about naked sensationalism.

That was pretty clearly an in-full-control emergency off-field landing. The plane flipped because the nose gear dug into the grass and came to an abrupt stop when it hit the concrete sidewalk. Had that not happened, it likely would have sustained little or no damage.

Will be interested to see what the cause of the accident was. Likely engine failure shortly after takeoff. If it was from fuel starvation, someone will have some answering to do, either way the bird wasn't adequately fueled, or why the fuel selector valve wasn't positioned properly. But there are other things that could have caused it, too, such as something failing in the engine, a bird strike, or fuel feed problem. Time will tell.
