I know enough about flying to be dangerous. The simple thing would be go around with that much going wrong. From the little I know, the pilots flying freight aren't the most experienced. There are some that make a carreer out of flying freight which theres nothing wrong with. They use it as a...

There's a lot of things that went wrong. I saw a report yesterday saying that the plane approached at about 200 knotts according to vasaviation channel. About 70 Knotts faster then normal assuming it true. I did notice the first time I saw that video that the reverse thrusters didnt come on...

On a slightly different note, this is Capt Steve who talks about aviation incidents, and brought up some interesting points. He's flown the passenger version of this aircraft for years. Like when the plane touched down, it rode its nose gear for a pretty good length of time before the mains...

My dad lives in somewhat rural Lake County. His neighborhood has had a bear wandering thru the last few months. Its been in neighbor's pools, garages, yards. Its taken out screens twice so far at my dads. 1 in the garage and the screen door to the pool twice. Found a 4th this weekend at the...

Thanks. After being chased by a bear this weekend I need it.

From the Legeros Fire Line Facebook page On the Miami-Dade fire front, here's a pre- or early-arrival view of the cargo jet crash at Miami International Airport. Occurred about 1:54 p.m. Reports that the aircraft overran the runway and crashed on a road. Also impacted one or more vehicles...

With 2 75s running at the same time, probably complicated the relocations. Why there sending 1 unit from 1 end of a borough to the farthest end of the farthest borough is beyond me.

Going by the maps 285 should beat 293 hands down. Wonder if the cad initially assigned 285 to a call, but dropped it for what ever reason which would change the order. Like say a medical that no longer needed an engine response. Ive had that happen before. It may also explain a lot of other...

I did a walk thru of a similar building in Fl in about 2000ish. They way it was described to me was plywood held together by gasoline. The builders will do the least possible to get to code. After that, not their problem.

I dont remember when that occurred but I do remember the response was to basically rethink the entire water supply for the city. That's where the super pumpers and fireboats came in. I think I saw it in Firehouse magazine or Fire Rescue magazine.

Found this on Punishers lemc Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EnzrDm2Xb/

Stranger things have happened. Where I worked in Winter Haven, we had a bank where the physical bank was in Polk County, but the drive thru attached to it was in the City Limits. The next block east was a strip mall which was in the County but the blocks behind and in front ot it was City. When...

Then its entirely possible that's 10s rig. Didn't think theyd paint a unit before it goes to the spare pool but stranger things have happened.
