    For those wondering, in the bridge video at 2:30, they were saying:
    "small passenger cars can pass right?"
    "Yep"
    "But only slowly right? Pulling a bit to the left right? Should be fine.
    Right, thanks, Junior. Cool."

      Looks like the truck would have been fine if the driver kept it centered on the top layer of planks. They are there to distribute the weight across numerous members of the second layer of planks.
      EDIT: Unless maybe the back of the truck started to fall through first due to weight of the load on the truck, and then pulled the front of the truck askew? It's hard to tell from the front.

    Regarding your clip about Lion Air 737 running off the runway, the last crash of their 737 MAX was 100% not their fault. At the time that aircraft had not been modified by Boeing. There was not a way to disable the MCAS System and Boeing and the FAA took the hit for that. The Lion Air 737 MAX experienced severe pitch oscillations until it crashed. Several other aircraft met the same fate. I know Lion Air had a safety issue for a while, but just wanted to clarify their last crash of the 737 MAX they were cleared of any wrong-doing.

    • @oahuhawaii2141
      @oahuhawaii2141 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      From what I've read, the B737 MAX only disables its MCAS temporarily if you override its actions via yoke inputs, such as climbing out of its dive. That's why it seems to oscillate: MCAS thinks the plane will stall, so dives to pick up speed and avoid the stall; the pilot pulls back on the yoke to climb out of the death dive; after a while, MCAS reasserts itself, and the cycle repeats until they run out of altitude and impact the ground. A B737 MAX pilot commented that there's a switch on the yoke to disable MCAS, but most B737 pilots didn't learn about it -- their brief 45-min iPad video training in upgrading from B737 NG certification only mentions MCAS in passing. Pilots completely new to the B737 line get the full training and learn of the MCAS features. In the NG, once you throw the switch or override the system, it's disabled; in the MAX, you have to throw the switch. This subtle difference shows up when comparing the checklists: disable it if not already disabled (NG) vs disable it (MAX).
      The sad thing about the incident plane is that its penultimate flight had the same issue while at much higher altitude. That flight crew saved the plane and everyone on board, but didn't log the issue or state how they recovered. The pilots struggled to get out of the deadly oscillation, and was lucky to have a pilot from sister airline Batik Air. That pilot was getting a free ride in the jump seat of the cockpit; he carefully scanned through the manuals to learn about what MCAS does and how to disable it. Once they disabled MCAS, they had to trim the horizontal stabilizer manually through the remainder of the flight. After they landed, they simply noted that the AoA (angle of attack) sensors gave different readings. The maintenance staff got the instruments and looked at them; not much else is described as to what was done before the devices were put back into service.
      For the next flight, the pilots didn't have the altitude, time, and knowledge to recover since the issue happened on takeoff. According to a report, the AoA sensor readings differed by 20° while sitting on the tarmac, and the pilots did not notice this problem. Thus, during climb out, MCAS decided that the plane is pitched at too steep an angle and will stall if no action is done -- it pushed the nose down to "save" the plane.
      Boeing is faulted for not training NG pilots more on the MCAS system, and using only 2 AoA sensors instead of 3, as in the NG, which uses a majority rule -- a bad sensor is overruled by the other 2. In the MAX with only 2 sensors, the moment 1 goes bad, it can't be overruled by the good sensor. Boeing got criticized for charging more money for a simple software upgrade to show a tiny red warning light on the cockpit screen if the AoA sensor readings differ too much; many pilots say it's their job to monitor the AoA readings, but to monetize a simple safety feature seems foolish.
      Carriers are faulted for demanding more automation and less training to save money. They also pushed to have a plane with the MAX benefits be typed as a B737, rather than be typed as an all new line of B7*7 jets because training experienced B737 pilots would be costly to get a new type certification, instead of an upgraded cert.
      Not many folks seem to be very concerned with why the AoA sensors are faulty, and why the maintenance and repair procedures apparently fail so badly. One commenter wrote that budget carriers sometimes replace OEM parts for cheaper parts, and sell the OEM parts for a profit. He suggested that the airlines may use a knockoff from China.

    • @oahuhawaii2141
      @oahuhawaii2141 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      The BBC cited a report from Indonesian air authorities pointing out some slightly different reasons for the crash.
      The MCAS Disable switch on the yoke disables MCAS temporarily. The cut off is in the center console. Many pilots know of the yoke switch, but didn't know MCAS activates again in 5 seconds; they weren't familiar with the cut-off switch.
      The Captain was successful in keeping the plane from crashing, yet inexplicably passed flight control to his less competent First Officer, without fully briefing him on the situation. The First Officer had performed poorly in training, and failed to have memorized critical checklists; he was in control when the plane crashed.
      The "AoA Disagree Warning" is a feature of a separate cockpit display option not purchased by Lion Air.
      Regarding the AoA sensors, only 1 of the 2 is connected to MCAS, and it was faulty. Lion Air didn't service it, as the crew of the previous flight didn't properly note the issue with their flight. Otherwise, the incident plane would've been grounded. Lion Air is missing 51 pages of the maintenance log. Also, the faulty AoA sensor wasn't tested properly by a facility in Florida, so the FAA revoked its certification.
      The report concluded that if any 1 in the series of 9 issues cited hadn't been present, the crash could've been averted.

    I served on the USS Carl Vinson for my first cruise back in 05. To get our surface warfare qualification you had to know the history of your own ship and its mishaps and I can’t remember this one specifically. But I am glad to see that these pilots survived. We lost two pilots and their jets that cruise. I was a Plane Captain at the time (person who takes care of the jet while its on the ground and you even get your name on the wheel well.) and I always felt for the Plane Captains who launched their pilots and never got to recover or “catch” them. I would have felt so horrible. But we attended the burial at sea (ceremony only) and it was one of the most emotional things i have ever seen in my entire life. The way they scream their name over and over until they play taps. One of the pilots was the XO of the squadron too. Seeing all these big strong grown men tear up was indescribably heart wrenching.

      I am a Plank Owner of the USS Carl Vinson CVN-70. When I arrived at the Pre-commissioning building I was assigned as Asst Navigator. They found me a desk, gave me a pad of yellow paper and a couple pencils and said "Make a Navigation Department." By the time the Nav and the Lt detailed to be the Asst Nav arrived, they had a Navigation Department. I even wrote the Nav Dept SOP with step-by-step instructions for all the different jobs the Nav/ANav and QMs had to do, from figuring tides and currents to getting a star fix using a sextant. I did not know what electronic Nav equipment would be installed so someone else had to write that up and add it to the SOP later.
      We left Norfolk, Va on 01 March 1983 to travel basically East until we got to Alameda, Ca on 30 October 1983. We first crossed the equator with about 500 shellbacks at 0 degrees Lat 0 degrees Long which turned into an almost all hands evolution. We crossed 3 more times on that trip but had no more Pollywog to Shellback conversion events.
      Along the way we lost an F-14 in the Med. They had just taken off when they got a "chips light" (metal particles in the engine oil). They were told to circle in the holding area (20 miles aft of the ship) and dump fuel before joining the landing path. The plane was circling when it disappeared from radar and radio contact was lost. Helos, planes, and ships all involved in SAR with no luck. A few pieces of wreckage and a patch off one of their arms and that was all. The area was reported to be full of turtles. The CAG figured they were both watching the fuel when the pilot flew the circling plane into the sea.
      We also had an A-7 catch a wire then lose the nose wheel, but he came to a spark filled stop while on still on the flightdeck with no problems.

      @@edmartin875 Yeah I got to her in 05 right before she went into dry dock. We did a world cruise that year. And it was my first cruise. It was so funny watching all the salty dogs tell us how lucky we were that our first cruise was a world cruise because you hit more cool places than a Western Pacific (WestPac Tour for those who only heard it that way that aren’t ex Navy like you and I). That cruise was SO MUCH FRIGGIN FUN!! We hit Guam and singapore before we got to the North Arabian Gulf. Then we did circles around there for about 6 months while kitting Jebel Ali, Bahrain and going to places like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and instead of going back the way we came, we went through the Suez Canal on our way to Norfolk and we got to hit Greece, Hong Kong, Spain and Portugal before we headed through the Atlantic to Virginia. SOOOO MUCH FUN!! Some people just don’t know what they are missing. I absolutely loved Loved LOVED, waking up early in the morning, eating an AWESOME breakfast (the food was AMAZING on the ship!) and sitting out on the exterior walkways and watching the sun come up in the morning before I had to be at work. I was a plane captain that cruise so I literally spent 12 hours a day on the deck of the carrier launching jets off the catapults. I even got my name on my squadrons show jet at Top PC of 70 Plane Captains. Was one of the proudest moments of my life. Well that and being the first and probably the ONLY airman in VFA-154 The Black Knight Squadron who got both Surface and Air warfare qualified in my first 4 years in the Navy and as an AIRMAN. LoL. When i was at my pinning ceremony my commanding officer singled me out and had me march out in front of the 20 person ranks who were also getting pinned and showed them I was an airman and told them this was my first command and I already have 2 warfare quals with still a year and a few months left in my first contract. Man I was GUSHING with pride that day!
      But before I go I have to tell you sometime. Things are getting crazy around here in the US. And i being totally serious and not embellishing ANY of what I’m about to tell you. But in this new political climate where any lie is considered truth and conspiracy theories are pushed to the forefront of our countries conversations, I have had full blown batsh*t crazy conversations with flat earthers who profess to me with staggering confidence that the earth is flat, I didn’t actually circumnavigate the globe (leaving Coronado CA and docking in Norfolk Virginia just to catch a plane ride back to where we came from coming from the opposite side we left from in CA). And I have had more than one conversation with MANY different people on the subject and they seem SO CONFIDENT that we didn’t actually go around the world (because to them thats impossible) but we actually “Just did circles in the ocean, going round and round.) My MWR actually had access to a totally awesome GPS system (you know like the ones they have on certain planes that show a map and where you left from and where you are about to land) and that GPS system tracked us across a digital map we could access 24/7 on one of the ships MWR TV channels. They had like 5 of them. 3 showed movies all day long, 1 showed the deck along with the temperature, weather conditions and predictions, and one showed the GPS map 24/7 so people could track their cruise on maps they kept in their shops. So I tell these flat earthers about this and they go into an insane conspiracy theory about how big tech is working with the military to create fake GPS systems that show the earth is a ball just so we don’t freak out that the earth is flat or some insane BS like that. I never heard insanity like this until after 2015. And we all know why. I was wondering if you are running into these Fkin yahoos too.

      The A6 intruder has two engines; If one of them fails it still should be able to fly, although I'm not sure whether it can with a full load. Having just left the deck it will have been near stall speed, and the last thing a pilot should do is trying to climb out. The pilot was right to jettison the external stores, but the attempt to climb got him. The controller may have yelled at him over the radio to do so, but the controller doesn't know the condition of the aircraft; the pilot does and knowing he lost an engine should have excluded for him the possibility to climb. Having said that, I doubt this crash would have been marked on his service record as there was precious little time to think through his options in this situation not of his doing.

    The St Francis dam failed only two years after it was built in 1926. It caused the second largest loss of life west of the Mississippi.
    The concrete arch dam, predating the Hoover dam by a decade, was solely designed by Mulholland, the designer of LA’s water system. Mulholland inspected the dam on the morning of its collapse, and said it was structurally sound. This hugely disastrous civil engineering failure ended his career.

      A close friend of my family built a home for his retired father in the 1920s.

      His father survived - but despair hit him hard that day.
      He shot himself in the head.
      His son found him & took his father to the hospital in Los Angeles, where he was a practicing surgeon.

    Do you like weird stuff? TH-cam just freaked me out for the first time in years. Start at 13:40 about the house explosion..., and then listen to what the officer says at 14:30. He said he felt a finger push him away from danger. The same thing happened to me in 1990 when I was rock climbing in NM. I'm not a religious man..., but I know that an angel saved me from falling to my death with just a gentle push of a finger in the middle of my back..., I would've surely died. This is one of my favorite stories.
    I was living in Grants, NM, with my Dad and Grandma and decided to go for a hike and a lunch at the Sandstone Buffs (you can google it) about 8 miles south of Grants. It was summer, a beautiful day, and not another soul in sight as I parked the car in the parking area, grabbed a water bottle and my lunch and went exploring.
    Hundreds of people go to the bluffs each year because of its popularity and view, and there's an ancient black lava flow (called malapais) that stretches for 40 miles across the valley floor that came from the volcano east of town eons ago. From the bluffs you can see as far as the eye can see.
    Anywhooo..., I was climbing around the rocks like everybody does and saw a nice little cubby hole to sit and have my lunch in and look over the valley, but it was little bit treacherous because the ledge was about three feet wide and I had to spread my arms and scootch slowly while I faced the stone wall to make the 30 feet to the lunch spot. Then...
    You all know that black collects heat and that heat rises. I'm face to face with a cliff..., 200 ft above the ground... hot summer day..., when an updraft from the lava field came up the wall from below, got around me and pulled/sucked me backwards to the edge. There was no way of saving myself. I was going to die.
    Just as I got to the point of apogee and knew this was the end..., I felt a light finger in the middle of my back to push me forward and it was enough for me to regain my balance and shimmy back to where I'd started, and then I threw up.
    It's like I said, I'm not a religious man..., but Angels are with us when we need them the most. I should be dead.

    Ejection seats literally detonate a high explosive beneath your seat, then it fires a small rocket to clear you of the aircraft’s tail. It’s so violent it has resulted in pilots being 1-3” shorter permanently due to the spinal compression as mentioned in the video. The ejection itself can kill you. (But obviously you don’t pull it unless you’re already fearing for your life.) I heard that in the US military, once a pilot has ejected 3 times, they are automatically retired for life.

      Well, In response to some of the comments made here, I'd like to throw my 2 cents in as well.
      Attemping to cross the bridge in one trip with the full load in order to save fuel and keep to their supposed tight schedule. Doesn't appear to have been the correct option. (20-20 hindsite is a real bitch sometimes.)
      It would appear that while they probably did save some fuel, Assuming the driver turned the engine off after the bridge collapsed. I highly doubt they saved any time or money and kept to their schedule.
      So, If the aforementioned reasons are indeed why they attempted to cross the bridge the way they did, Then perhaps a little bit more caution, A bit less greed, And/Or laziness might have saved them a lot of Time, Money, And Trouble in the long run.
      Plus having to account for the added expense and lost time due to having to get some type of heavy equipment, (Perhaps even a crane) out there to recover the truck, And taking into account any damage to the truck and/or the cargo, Probably made the entire trip a monetary loss on the bottom line.

      I'm looking at it in a sense of God(bible) , the Halloween boat crashed , dressing up as characters from the underworld and celebrating darkness brings curses because as children of the Lord what do we have to do with the darkness of the spiritual underworld. We should be speaking about Jesus whose own life was blameless and yet he had to die for our sins , therefore he exists now in extreme light in the Holy spirit realm , so we must be be grateful to him who died for our sins. So that we should believe , repent and turn from sins and get baptised to enter paradise in stead of hell for rebellion .
      Then there was the policeman who was poked by a finger before the explosion , I've experienced this.
      Then there was the others like the truck , top level parking collapse and the guy was standing on the last piece of ground he could stand on or he would have fallen.
      The Lord speaks in many ways , either to discipline or wrath or to show people something. What better way for people to turn back to the Lord than being in a situation that they could not change themselves. Most people first have to go through some things out of their control to believe.
      Please read bible book Luke to know how to be saved.

    The A-6 Intruder. I used to operate this same camera on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. This looks like the A-6 cat shot started out ok, but I think one of his engines flamed out just as he headed down the cat track and didn't have enough speed to climb when he reached the end. At a higher altitude, he could have traded altitude for speed but he was too low, so he tried to trade weight for speed and ditched his drop tank to lighten the aircraft, but he entered an aerodynamic stall just as the tank came away and never had the chance to pick up speed so they punched out.

I honestly don't think that it was a recoverable situation.

    The bridge : the logic thing would be to drive as fast as possible over the bridge to minimum the time/weight/pressure onto the dangerous spots.

    • @irishcajun85
      @irishcajun85 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      I fully get what you’re saying, but with a bridge like this, the innate instability of the bridge’s structure is less reliable on time and more reliable on instant weight and force/pressure. The danger there is that any bumps that get hit will shake that spot, and the entire bridge, harder. The same reason we hit pot holes at a lower speed lest our cars be damaged, that same force is reciprocated with the ground. The speed advantage would be negligible to the structural integrity disadvantage. Instead of collapsing at the end of the bridge, it may have instantly collapsed as soon as the front tires hit the bridge with a greater force versus gently applying pressure. Think of it this way- a car going 70 with momentum will crash through a building a lot harder and farther and in a quicker time than a car going 5-10 mph starting at the bumper touching the outer walls of the building. That’s why just about anybody that runs big equipment over bridges like this, creeps like a snail.
      In other words, the bridge didn’t stand a chance 😅😆
