Further, this video clearly illustrates a major difference between Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd Dogs.

A malinois will kill himself trying to scale that wall.

A GSD will find the stairs. And use them.

Some people never get over their childhood phase of desperate need for attention.

 

If he pulled that stunt on the hood of my '65 Mercury he'd get some attention and if lived through it he'd get even more in court paying for the damage.

"My results are not married to my self-worth," he says. "And that's where a lot of people get mistaken - especially young kids.

"A lot of kids start tying their self-worth to their success in athletics, and then eventually they become afraid of failure, because if they fail they think people will think less of them."

The Fire and Disaster Management Agency will revise an ordinance and oblige gas stations and other sellers to conduct ID checks and ask customers the reason for the purchase, possibly starting next February, the officials said.

They should limit gasoline purchases to 3 fl. oz. per customer per 24 hours -- but only after a thorough background check and 72 hr. waiting period.

TEHRAN, Iran — His revolutionary fervor diminished by the years that have also turned his dark brown hair white, one of the Iranian student leaders of the 1979 U.S. Embassy takeover says he now regrets the seizure of the diplomatic compound and the 444-day hostage crisis that followed.

Speaking to The Associated Press ahead of Monday's 40th anniversary of the attack, Ebrahim Asgharzadeh acknowledged that the repercussions of the crisis still reverberate as tensions remain high between the U.S. and Iran over Tehran's collapsing nuclear deal with world powers.

At 4 about the same time, the helicopter force of eight RH-53Ds lifted off from the deck of the U.S.S. Nimitz and began heading for the Iranian coast about 60 miles away. About two hours into the mission, helicopter 6 received a warning on its Blade Inspection Method, or BIM system, which indicated a possible impending rotor blade failure. For the Marine pilots, this type of warning indication necessitated an immediate landing; however, the Navy RH-53Ds had a newer BIM system than the Marine CH-53 helicopters, and a BIM warning in the Navy RH-53Ds did not necessitate an immediate landing.4 This information was never disseminated to the Marine pilots flying the Navy helicopters, so the Marine crew followed their normal procedures and landed the helicopter. The crew abandoned their helicopter in the desert and climbed aboard another helicopter that had landed with them to help. The helicopter force was now down to seven.

The helicopter force entered the dust cloud and continued, despite the debilitating effects of flying in near zero visibility conditions at night while wearing night-vision goggles. Helicopter 5 5 began experiencing electrical problems while flying in the dust cloud. More and more of its essential flight and navigation instruments were failing, and without visual flight references, it was becoming increasing dangerous to continue the mission. Because he was ordered to maintain strict radio silence to avoid detection, helicopter 5 was unable to ascertain the location of the other helicopters or determine the extent or duration of the dust cloud. Because of these uncertainties, helicopter 5 elected to turn back and return to the U.S.S. Nimitz. Later it was determined that helicopter 5 was only 25 minutes away from exiting the dust cloud and would have experienced clear conditions the rest of the way to Desert One. Helicopter 5 probably would have elected to continue had he known that he would exit the dust cloud within a few minutes and had clear conditions the rest of the flight. The rescue force was now down to six helicopters, the minimum required to continue the mission.

Shortly after landing, helicopter 2 shut down its engines, having suffered a catastrophic failure of its #2 hydraulic system, a fact which made the helicopter unsafe for further flight operations. There was no chance of repairing it at Desert One. Without six functioning helicopters at Desert One, the mission would have to be scrubbed.

I was in the Persian gulf during this mission. It broke our hearts to hear what happened.

 

There was another planned prior mission for a specially adapted JATO takeoff and land C-130 to land in just 300' on a soccer field very close to the embassy. Unfortunately on the last training flight before the mission the pilot energized the JATO too early on landing and burned the plane up. It was decided not to build a replacement to continue the mission. There is a documentary film out there showing Fat Albert firing all the added JATO rockets on STOL to stop within the 300' limit and again to take off in 300'. Pretty amazing stunt and shame they screwed it up.
