Nö, wieso? Im Gegenteil, sie haben sich einen Preis verdient. Irgendeinen frisch erfundenen, goldenen. Mit viel Glitzer.

It has contracted because it had to think of something nasty.

There once was a computer scientist... Wilfred Baker... he was the only computer scientist devoid of anarchist tendencies...

The problem with declaring a space race and declaring you've won is, that you're then caught up in the logic of declaring a space race, you see...?

Is that prototype in the room with us?

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

As one proposed solution is a rollback to a previous SW version, I'd say the subject has already been taken seriously before.

Right, that's the Airbus updates done, next job...

This writeup isn't too bad:

By the way, bit flips from space weather affecting flight hardware isn't something entirely new. Some engine FADECs had issues on Boeing aircraft, too.
Complex causes and consequences on hardware and software.

"thr dolution"???
="the solution"

Fat fingers😬

Can only comment on what's known in the public domain. Most interesting twist is that, in some cases, thr dolution is a software rollback to an older version. In other cases, it's hardware.

Glad to see they "stand ready", and I hope they will continue "standing ready" for a very long time 😉

Oui, c'est gigantesque.

21 European airlines commit to avoiding ‘greenwashing’ claims following EU pressure In June 2023, the European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) complained to the European Commission (EC) about airlines' greenwashing.

A consumer group launched a complaint against European airlines in June 2023.

Good points. In any case, I think the failure cascade must have been a bit more complicated than what is immediately apparent.

Yes, there are flashes visible in the video, however I wouldn't be sure to say what exactly that was and from which engine, if from an engine.

By the way, the NTSB seems to be just as flummoxed by this aspect, they brought a vehicle performance expert into the investigation.

😳

Yes, maybe.

... from the fire on where #1 was. Possible, maybe, at high angle of attack, I don't know.
D) a functioning engine being shut down, highly speculative.
E) something else I didn't see yet.

Exactly. Something kept the remaining engines from properly functioning.
That could have been:
A) Debris from the loss of the first engine impacting #3, not likely, but possible.
B) Debris impacting engine #2, even less likely, but also possible.
C) engine #2 ingesting combusted air...

🧐 Believe it or not, these aircraft are designed to be able to climb on two engines only. The bank angle was a consequence of collisions -> a consequence, not a cause.

2025-11-06: Air Services Limited Cessna 208 Caravan (8R-THR) mistakenly landed in a schoolyard at Karaudarnau, S Rupununi, Guyana while heading to a nearby airfield. On departure, the C208 barely cleared a 3m fence before climbing away safely.

Days after the UPS 2976 MD-11 crash, the big unanswered question for me still is, "why didn't it climb"?

Na genau 🤔

"Deine Mudda halluziniert."

Black boxes recovered in UPS plane crash in Louisville as death toll rises to 12 Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) said that news of the fatalities was “heartbreaking” and that the death toll could rise.

Investigators have recovered the black boxes from the crash of a UPS MD-11 in Louisville on Tuesday, they also confirmed that video shows the left engine detaching from the wing during takeoff.
