'154 is the State Route NOT the speed limit': CHP clocks Lamborghini driver at 152 mph

A true miracle. What are the chances, I wonder?

A man went missing from a Carnival cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico. What happened next might well be a 'Thanksgiving miracle'

​

Rescuers haven't been able to determine how long he was in the water, Gross told "CNN This Morning" -- but it could have been more than 15 hours. If it was that long, it's "the absolute longest that I've heard about -- and just one of those Thanksgiving miracles," he said.

 

A plane met its Waterloo.

She's a very interesting lady to talk to -- our paths crossed a few times at the Academy and the first time we met I had no idea about her background and the conversation never touched on it, but a later encounter allowed us to swap some A-10 stories (hers are a hell of a lot better than mine!). I think the last time we crossed paths was shortly before her retirement while I was waiting to testify at an Honor Board for one of my cadets that had cheated on an assignment. She was then the Director of the Center for Character and Leadership Development. Only had a few minutes to exchange greetings that time.

 

First man to fly the iconic SR-71 recalls when he flew the Blackbird Inverted and he turned off the Instrumentation so that Kelly Johnson wouldn’t find out

Very lucky, very drunk or both.

The male driver lost control as he was driving northbound on the I-805 transition ramp to the northbound I-15. His vehicle rode the “Gore” point and took out over 40 feet of guardrail and its wooden post and turned sideways before impacting the large freeway traffic sign pole.

Crashed about 3-hours ago and still up there in the power lines. Pilot and passenger are speeding to rescuers as they figure out what to do. 85000 people without power as the grid is shut down.

 

The electrical people say they will spend a few hours grounding the mast and all the soil around the tower before rescuing the two old men. I guess at 5:30 PM in Maryland it was fairly dark when they crashed into the electricity tower.

Just dusk

Passenger and pilot were rescued at 12:30am Monday. About 7 hours after crash.

 

Yea! They were rescued.
It might take a lot of time to remove the airplane and fix the broken wires. I pity the people without electricity.

Local news said the Plane was removed soon after. Technicians were looking at all bolts and steel since sunrise.

 

Better than a snow day - 40 schools were closed because authorities didn't know when power would be restored. Power was restored early Monday.

Probably not that long. Unless the NTSB prohibited them from removing the plane (which they would only due if they had reason to believe it was necessary to inspect the plane in situ, which is unlikely), I imagine they had the needed equipment on site before the occupants were removed (since that took so long) and were able to essentially pick the plane off the tower (or even just push it off and let it fall clear). The total weight was likely less than 2000 lb. After that, it's a matter of repairing the tower (at least temporarily) and stringing the new wire, something that line crews are VERY good at.

Everything was restored before 8am local time.

 

THE ASOH DEFENSE: “AS YOU AMERICANS SAY, I F****D UP”

​

In essence, Captain Asoh didn’t see any point in putting up a defense for his actions. The accident bore some similarities with another, much more recent accident. This was Air Niugini Flight 73: a Boeing 737-800, on approach to land in sketchy weather. After an unstabilized approach, the aircraft ended up in the water, short of the runway. Everyone survived the initial impact with the water. Unfortunately, one passenger was unable to unbuckle himself from his seat, and perished.

 

 

Except there's no way that's 50 ft. Maybe 15 ft. -- when I'm feeling generous.
