In just the last two months I've seen people doing that (trying to pass when there is clearly and obviously no room) three times. Fortunately, no crashes, but two were extremely close. To make matters worse, two of them were the same idiot just a few minutes apart on the same road crossing a double-yellow line both times. You would think one close call would be a wake-up call. Nope, not for this jerk. I can only hope that when he finally kills someone it is only himself or, at worst, someone stupid enough to get in the same car with him.

 

Our tipping culture is getting out of control. People should do the work they were hired to do for the wages they agreed upon from the very start. And employers should pay their employees under the assumption that the employee won't have an extra source of revenue. Placing ubiquitous signs stating that no tips would be requested nor accepted would also help.

The incident has reignited debate over whether tipping is appropriate for airport lounge amenities that are already included in the cost of a premium airline ticket.

The article made it pretty clear that this wasn't a case of an employer expecting customers to pay their employees directly. It was a case of a specific employee of a third-party contractor violating both custom and policy. The only debate it should have ignited was whether employees that do that should be fired.

I was wondering. Could it be possible that this was AI generated? ... or is the video too nuanced to be the case, considering the current state of the technology?

It looks like a old Russian dashcam video, AI can't fake that bad, yet.

 

 

 

It's impressive seeing how quickly the emergency truck arrived immediately after the plane stopped:

Not really that impressive -- consider that the reason that someone was there to take the film footage was because this was a declared emergency landing, so the crash trucks were already stages and were moving on the runway as soon as the plane passed their position. The aircraft declared an emergency shortly after takeoff due to an issue with the nose gear (that slashed the tires) and flew around for a couple hours while trying to fix the problem (which involved a paper clip being used to short a faulty breaker).



Because of the issues with the nose gear, the plane had to land at about 173 knots, well above it's normal 150 knots, Getting the gear to lower had also resulted in hydraulic pressure being sent to three of the four main gear brake assemblies, which is what resulted in the tires blowing out and igniting. What was truly remarkable was for the pilot to be able to keep the aircraft tracking down the runway under these conditions.

While no one was injured in this incident (which took place on 30 April 1966), this same aircraft was involved and lost in a fatal midair collision with an F-104 chase plane due to wingtip vortices barely a month later.

 

A driver could get shot doing that here.

 

 

 

Private plane was blown off Telluride runway with 3 people aboard

​

According to authorities, a pilot of the plane told deputies the aircraft was hit by a strong gusting crosswind just after it touched down, shoving it off the runway. The plane reportedly skidded about 300 yards before stopping off the runway on collapsed landing gear.

Former flight attendant posed as a pilot and received hundreds of free flights, U.S. authorities say​

According to court documents, Pokornik was a flight attendant for a Toronto-based airline from 2017 to 2019, then used fake employee identification from that carrier to obtain tickets reserved for pilots and flight attendants on three other airlines.
