Who wants to interview the drunk driver?

It looks like the answer is, "everyone?"

NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — A car crashes and flips outside of a Nicholasville Wendy's, and both the driver and the passenger involved claim they were kidnapped by the other.

Officers were called to the Wendy's on Main Street at around 2:30 p.m. Monday. Police say the car is not registered to either person, but they don't believe the vehicle was stolen at this time.

 

F-35 Crash Video Leaked

Looks like your classic carrier crash.

 

Good video, I have seen Mooch before. I have been there and done that during my days as a "Civilian Component of Department of Defense" having completed two (then first two) deployments of the USS Eisenhower (CVN 69) AKA the Love Boat. Watched an F14 do a ramp strike, bounce across the deck. The pilot ejected safely but his RIO hit the canopy just like Goose in the movie Top Gun. Things don't always go right. My best guess here is pilot error but then too I wasn't there. Looked like he saw the waveoff and tried to pull left but too late and not enough power. The improvements the guys in the video talked about are phenomenal in the ACLS (Aircraft Carrier Landing System). Fond memories of 40 years working in NAVAIR and NAVSEA (Nuclear Navy).

First Cruise I am 3rd from left. Technical Reps.

Second Cruise 4th from left up one from bottom.

So been there and done that.

I'm amazed at how strong that airframe is. I've only spent a little time on carriers (Coral Sea and Nimitz) in a TAD capacity. but we've all seen the crash videos shown to fire-crews.

I worked for NAVSEA on the SNAP-II program.

 

Both night. The night recoveries were always spooky. I uses to go down to the jet shop right below the flight deck and watch recovery ops. That gets real spooky.

Yea, sometimes the planes just don't want to land.

“what the ****”

 

 

The trucking company or the trucker might get dinged for a broken or rusted Jane Mansfield bar (aka ICC bar).

 

Yeah, I know it's photoshopped ... but it's funny nevertheless ....

It's amazing how good the click-bait fishermen are at photoshop.

These guys almost look like some strange Photoshop.

I'm at a detachment of the unit that operates that very helicopter (yes, it's flying again). Wind shift was not the problem. The engines did not fail, but were not making enough power to climb and steady hover. It went up fully fueled (3,700lbs. full on the ground). In trying to maintain stability collective was pulled and the main rotor lost speed and lift.

They can be unstable at high altitudes.

Watched Air Disasters today. Glad I wasn't a passenger.

Vladimir Komarov: The Cosmonaut Launched Into Space Knowing He Wouldn't Come Back Alive

​

A 10-page memo was reportedly made listing the faults. Nobody, presumably for fear of adding their own name to the future death toll of the mission, would take the memo to leader Leonid Brezhnev.

 

One time the plant bought a fair-sized lot of Russian Pine Resin to process. It came in tubes similar to a gallon size commercial ice cream keg but longer with each holding ~10-15kg each. Made of heavy unbleached card stock stapled together with industrial staples. It was obviously hand done and looked even worse than Frankenstein's monster. It was a total hack job with crooked seams, multiple patches, stapled repairs, and rosin leaking everywhere. I couldn't help but stare at it in disbelief and wonderment while thinking "and these idiots actually put men into space"!
