one of my favorite youtube pilots is 74 gear

 

Don't think I have heard of him yet.

Dude's been a pilot almost as long as I have.  But having a YT channel doesn't mean one is an expert.

Beware what you read, folks.  There are already a couple of (possible but unlikely) stories going around the nets, written up so that they look like an *official* report.  It's WAY too early for any official reports to be circulating.  They appear to be an AI accumulation/manipulation of past incidents.  One involves the CA seat sliding backwards, and the FO unable to advance the thrust levers due to the CA's weight (LOL).  Another is about water intrusion with disastrous electrical failure (slightly more possible, but it was not raining that day).

Honestly, I have no idea what their protest is about.  Lower taxes, secure borders, removing illegals thugs and criminals from the country, lower cost of living?  These people are bunch of sore losers who are perpetual imaginary victims.

You just have to bend the knee and submit to the CFO requirements if you want your Pinay to be with you.

Lately I have heard you need an FBI clearance or they will not give you the "sticker" on your visa.

This requirements isnt even listed on their website for required documents, but I did it anyway which cost me another $68.

I dont want to be held up and have to go back to the CFO to get the approval.

The PI has an FBI?  Or did you mean to say BIR?

Looks like the RAT deployed, engines flamed out?

I don't think so.  RAT deploys from loss of normal electrical power (which CAN be caused by a dual engine failure), but...

Had the engines flamed out, and with gear down, that thing would have dropped MUCH more rapidly.

If there was a god, then the plane wouldn't have crashed in the first place.

Could be the APU deploying? Or anything for that matter.

 

BBC interviewed an Indian Spokesman and he said there was one foreigner involved, seems vast majority are Gujarati.

APU is turned off after last engine is started, typically, unless loads are heavy enough to require FULL power (TOGA), then the APU supplies the air conditioning on takeoff so that engines can produce max thrust for flying.  So APU is unlikely.

one video i saw of the crash - the narrator pointed out the engines were not very loud......

Yeah, but that's kind of irrelevant, without knowing the distance from them, and without knowing what is "normal".  A lot has to do with wind direction.

The "bang" described by the survivor is of interest to me.

Because Boeing doesn't give a warning if the flaps are not in the proper detent, only if they are not in the flaps 5-full setting (normal for takeoff).  Unlike Airbus, which yells at you if the flaps are supposed to be one setting and are in ANY other setting.  Hopefully this forces Boeing to fix this oversight.

I said 5-full, meant to say 5-20 is normal for T/O.  My bad.

That is propaganda, not proof. The amount of incorrect information given is staggering. First, there is no federal law enforcement buildings in downtown LA. The only one is FBI headquarters, with is 15 miles west of there, and it's located in a very wealthy neighborhood called Brentwood. No way in hell they'd get within 100 feet of even farting towards that building. The one they are trying to claim is a federal law enforcement building, while is a federally owned building, is actually where USCIS has their offices and conducts AOS and other interviews there. Some of the retreating ICE agents might have ran to it, but vandalism is hardly destroying a building.  

 

As for the vehicles, those were LAPD and California Highway Patrol, not customs and border patrol vehicles that were destroyed. 

 

Again, this wouldn't have happened if ICE and Homeland Security followed the laws and civil procedure for immigration detainment and deportation. They like to claim that their detention subpoenas are tantamount to a criminal arrest and search subpoena, but they aren't. Follow the law, and like this is less likely to happen. Now, don't conflate my distaste for ICE tactics as supporting the riot/looters. This seems to happen in CA quite a bit. Whenever there is a large scale protest, bad actors use the protest as cover to destroy, loot, and cause mayhem. Those a-holes should be jailed. But the people running these ICE sanctioned kidnappings should be held accountable too. 

Additionally, the Los Angeles Federal Building has been a site of conflict, with protesters attempting to block entrances and engage in confrontations with law enforcement. The FBI has a field office in Los Angeles, which is part of a network of satellite offices covering the area.

Tell us more about how far away the federal building is?  Ever hear of Robert Young Federal Building?

Mentour is a good source Judging from what the BBC were saying the flaps were not set, now why and how the take off configuration was not noticed very unclear

Because Boeing doesn't give a warning if the flaps are not in the proper detent, only if they are not in the flaps 5-full setting (normal for takeoff).  Unlike Airbus, which yells at you if the flaps are supposed to be one setting and are in ANY other setting.  Hopefully this forces Boeing to fix this oversight.

One survivor, apparently.  Suspect a wrong takeoff flap setting, and perhaps moving the flap handle as opposed to the gear handle.  Tragic errors, obviously.

          My wife and my two-year-old stepdaughter are Philippine citizens and has been granted a CR1 and CR2 Visa’s by the United States of American, but the Philippine government is refusing to let her leave the Philippines. They are forcing her to stay in the Philippines because they have this law that says citizens that want to leave the Philippines must have a CFO certificate to board a flight out of the Philippines. CFO stands for Commission on Filipino Overseas. It is supposed to be a seminar where they learn what to expect when they immigrate to the United States. Then after the seminar they get interrogated by a government official and then after the interrogation they decide whether the Philippine citizen can leave the Philippines or not. My wife went to this seminar and then was interrogated and after the interrogation they refused to issue her CFO certificate They said they refused her because she did not give them any evidence that she has spoken to my family. I rarely speak to my family because my family is spread out all over the United States. They wanted to see screenshots of video calls with my family. When I was in the Philippines with my wife she did talk to my family on cellular phone calls as my family and I do not make video calls to each other. The Philippine government is essentially kidnapping and falsely imprisoning her by not allowing her to leave the Philippines with her two-year-old daughter and forcing them to stay in the Philippines. They both have valid United States of America visas The Philippine government  through the CFOs forcing them to stay in the Philippines against their will. Please report this story. I have all the documented evidence to show this is true The CFO denied 9 out of 17. Thw CFO is a communist organization that abused Fili[ino human rights under the liwe of protecting them. Please fellow Americans do not marry a Filipino because the CFO will do everything it can to keep you apart.. It is very hit and miss and depends on the communist that interrogates your spouse. They essentially have no rules and can deny for any reason they want and they will make one up if need be, They do not want Filipinos to leave the Philippines.

 

 

The CFO folks focus more on warning women about them being passed around via swinging/orgies than anything else, but they exist to ensure the safety of their citizens.  If she didn't pass, there is likely a good reason.  Find out what it was, correct it, and do it again.  Most pass the first try, so yours is an outlying case.

Now it's time to get Derek Chauvin freed and all his back pay reinstated in lump sum form.

Maryland.  San Francisco.  Honolulu.  Pennsylvania.  DIdn't know how to use a gun.

Sounds pretty hard core democrat to me.  

TSA agents never pat a person down with enough force to hurt either a testicle nor a #######, regardless of the sex of the agent or of the recipient. It's not like they are trying to cop a feel of some stranger's privates (gross!).

This is nothing more than a viral drama-seeking ploy.

I don't have any interest in leisure suits, but I was recently looking for a Pinto (I like the odd ball cars).  Half way decent running ones are in the high teens to close to $20k.  Not doing that.

Before you buy a pinto, make sure you are up to speed on their exploding gas tanks.

I do have crs but LED light bulbs do last longer than regular light bulbs fact 

Fact for you.  Not for everyone.  I have put them in and had them go bad within weeks, as well as months and even a year or two.  YMMV

I'm about ready to just drive straight into the left ditch and quit fighting like others have done.  To resist and remain free seems to be madness.

I think you may suffer from CRS.  My LEDs may last a LITTLE longer than conventional, but not enough to be noteworthy.  Just my personal experience.
