Yeah.... The article is conflating power failure with engine failure. It was a very odd plane crash, and it didn't appear that they had power failure. It looks like they lost thrust on both engines, which is really rare in multiengine aircraft.

I don't know for sure, but I imagine all airports have a bunch of cameras. To me it looks like it was a wider shot and someone went and focused on it through the NVR.

Something wrong with the fuel system was my initial armchair guess, but I'm not so sure based off the second vid. One would expect to see some yaw or rolling in an underpowered or lost of power take off with a jet.

Guess we'll have to wait until someone more qualified explains it.

I just saw that video and it is really strange. Not so much that rat hasn't been deployed, I don't think they lost hydraulics or electronics and I'm not sure they even reached the minimum speed where the rat would really help.

The strange thing is that it didn't really look like there was very much yaw or rolling which you would expect to see with a fuel system failure. They seemed to be flying straight as an arrow and gliding it down?

Maybe something wrong with thrust control? Kinda crazy.

For multi engine planes it's pretty rare, most likely a fuel system failure, or less likely pilot throttling error. My money would be on something with the fuel system.

Yes, some people naturally have better 3d spatial awareness. You can also train your eyes to be better over time. I work in orthotics and prosthetics and have to sculpt positive models of different body parts. We also have to do GAIT analysis where we have to observe the angle of different joints while a patient ambulates.

Some people are just better at it than others starting out, especially if they have prior similar experience. I teach a lot of residents and have noticed that students that have a background in art or construction tend to have a better eye for angles. A lot of it is just practicing by observing different angles compared to something that is known to be square.

I have also trained people who never seem to be able to improve their ability to see angles, which is a big hindrance in their careers. A lot of schools actually have students take a spacial awareness test before students begin studying in the field.

Yes, because of their criminal problems. Not because of their language, clothing style, food preferences, etc. But because of the enormous percentage of criminal involvement.

That is the same claim that "racist" in the US make all the time... Simply assuming that a person engages in criminal activity because of their ethnicity is bigotry.

Are you by chance not a USA citizen? I have some stereotypes about US citizens too.

US citizen is not an ethnic group you moron.

Yes, we hate gipsies. But not because of their race (they don't even have a separate race), but because of some nuances of their culture that involve a lot of criminal.

Lol, if you want to split hairs like that..... race itself is not an actual classification system and isn't real in any meaningful way. What it represents is a bias against certain ethnic groups based off of an ever changing list of generalities.

What the general public interprets as racism is unfounded bigotry against individuals or groups of people for simple belongings to an ethnic group. Having negative preconceived notions against an ethnic minority like the Romani people is racism, and attempting to escape the accusation of racism by engaging in semantics is just pathetic.

tell that bullshit to another racist like you.

Lol, I'm a bi-racial ethnic minority living in the most conservative state in America.....You are a white European that just accused an entire ethnic group of being criminals.....and I'm the racist?

You don't get a pass on your privilege because you live in Europe....an entire continent that enriched itself by engaging in colonialism self validated by racial theory. Go kick rocks bigot.

but at least the Iberians mixed with the locals and didn't genocide them

Wut?

I've been arguing the same thing about organizing, except this is not the American revolution of the 1700s.

The civil rights movement was only 50 years ago and is a much better analog than conflating modern resistance movements with the 18th century.

Let's be realistic about what happens next when you encourage people to take up arms and go on a suicide mission right now.

As I already stated, the general public should present themselves at most as publicly engaging in civil disobedience. However, civil disobedience does not get the job done by itself, not when the leader of the country is a fascist who doesn't care about civility in the first place.

History has shown time and time again that the only thing that stops fascist is physical resistance. Fulfilling the demands of peaceful protesters needs to be juxtaposed as a compromise to avoid civil unrest, not the only form of resistance.

Fascist manufacture escalation, they don't instigate it. Even if there were absolutely no violence happening, they would just see that as an invitation.

Threatening to withhold taxes is probably one of the smartest things any blue territory/jurisdiction can do to protect themselves and fight back right now.

Lol, that is a literal attack on the very idea of Federalism. This is more likely to escalate a violent response than a localized violent protest ever could. If there is any resistance to trump at the federal judicial level, then actually challenging the very idea of Federalism would legally validate a federal response more so than anything since the civil war.

We've dealt with violent protest in the past at the State level several times throughout history, no state has challenged the idea of federal power at that level since the rebellion.

A state withholding funding is fucking with the bag, it can be perceived as an act of rebellion and an attack on Congress who constitutionally governs the power of the purse.

We need America to unite against a coup being led by the Neoconfederates in the White House.

Fascist do not care about electorialism once they've seized the power of the pulpit. They only care about maintaining that power at whatever cost. The cat is out of the bag, the Reichstag is burning, civility is no longer on the menu.

These aren't neo confederates, they are neonazi. If you don't understand the difference, then you don't know enough about politics to advise anyone.

I think this depends on how you define "more emotional". Is expressing more aspects of emotion "more emotional" than the constantly pissed off dad screaming at the umpire at a little league game?

Imo women are better at expressing their emotions and communicating them to others, but men are just as emotional.

I never claimed anyone is a modern day Malcom X. What I claimed is that the state cannot achieve a monopoly on violence. Like any monopoly, without competition or regulation there is no reason to self moderate.

We need to relearn how to organize a large number of peaceful protesters to have self constraint. But we also need to relearn how a small organized and isolated group of people who can compete with state sponsored aggression can reshape the political landscape.
