Amtrak says a train with almost 200 people on board is finally moving again after 36 hours stuck in snowy spot south of Eugene, Oregon.
No one was hurt when the train hit a tree that had fallen onto the tracks Sunday about 6:18 p.m., Amtrak said. And passengers reported a "kumbaya" atmosphere during the ordeal.

“This rule will strengthen safety for the traveling public by addressing the unique challenges lithium batteries pose in transportation,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao.

This IFR prohibits the transport of lithium ion cells or batteries as cargo on passenger aircraft. In addition, the IFR requires lithium ion cells and batteries to be shipped at not more than a 30 percent state of charge aboard cargo-only aircraft.

 

I hope we see more of these lawsuits,

Then maybe the airlines will start wising up and allow certified certified service animals only. If you are that fragile that you can't travel without an "emotional support" animal then you should be willing to pay to have your animal certified. Frankly if you are that emotionally unstable that you can't travel without an animal by your side then you should not be traveling in the first place.

Happens all the time in Florida.

A law here says something about "securing your load", but like most other laws in Florida, it's just a suggestion.

 

Joy ride?

That looked like a 'Kraft' on a trip to Jupiter.

Oh...the buggy with the green hood and the balaclavaed lady? I thought you referring to the next segment.

Yes, the next segment but it could be both.

 

This guy is certainly glad he was not a passenger:

A Greek man said he missed the Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed just after taking off from Addis Ababa by mere minutes, in a Facebook post that has now been shared thousands of times.

The secretary at my former office decided to stay in Chicago to do some shopping. That decision saved her live. Almost everyone in my former office was kikked in a plane crash just a few miles fro here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USAir_Flight_427

And yes it was another 737. This was back when they had a rash of crashes do to rudder failure.

My guess in this latest series of crashes is due to poor pilot training i a new aircraft.

We don't know the cause but there are rumors about MCAS.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/boeing...mcas-safety-who-flies-safety-faa-how-to-know/

However, problems can arise when the MCAS system automatically pushes the plane's nose down, potentially surprising pilots who are unfamiliar with the system and overriding their commands. According to The New York Times, Boeing and the FAA decided pilots did not need to be informed about the change to the flight control system. The Times reported Boeing and regulators decided against informing pilots at least in part to minimize the costs of retraining pilots.

Say what???

Since both accidents occurred in 3rd world countries I assumed the accidents were due to thier lack of proper training. Never in my wilest dreams would I assume the traing was withheld in general.

If this is true, this is bad, really, really bad.

Wonder if Trump shorted Boeing stock before the decision?
