I'm trying to plot the precise path on CAD of the MV Dali in her last mile of so to show it be consistent with the path of a ship with a rudder locked in position, possibly a hard left. I can get approximates location from videos online but does anybody have the AIS data the videos were based...

The FBI boarded MV Dali this morning, opening an investigation and preempting the NTSB and Coast Guard investigations, according the the Washington Post. The FBI is being tightlipped about what they are looking for but the Post imagines it to be about the crew setting sail knowing there were...

I was quite surprised to find out that the Santa Susana Field Lab, 35 miles from the center of Los Angeles, was the scene of partial core meltown in 1959. More radition was released there than Three Mile Island, over 900X according to one worst case analysis. A friend of mine, an engineer, told...

Apparently there is a way to turn off the MCAS with a switch in the console between the pilots. Can anybody verify this with a picture? I'd like to update our article (below) with that information. From my research for the article, I found that not all pilots were informed of the MCAS or the...

Most surprising to me was the passenger in window seat *was* wearing her seat belt -- and still got almost sucked out of the plane. Could it not have been "low and tight across your lap?" RIP Jennifer Riordan. Roopinder Tara Director of Content ENGINEERING.com

Cable supported bridge collapse because no cables. Duh. What a horrible tragedy. It could it have been prevented. I am not a civil engineer, so bear with me as restate what is being discussed here, and what I have seen in reports, photos, videos and Google street view. Here is the artist's...

Hi forum, With the tragic landslides recently in Sierra Leone, our readers would like to get an knowledgeable engineer to explain soil mechanics and landslides in an article. This is outside my expertise so I was only able to gather up a little information and create a short post but hoping...

I wrote this after hearing David Cullimore speak at a Solid Edge conference. Youngest keynote speaker I've ever seen. He designs and races electric cars. He couldn't pass calculus so has no engineering degree...

TXStructural - thanks for your comment about "dry rot." It is a commonly used term and may not be technically correct. In regards to the article, I would have to say it is a commentary based not only on this forum but also draws upon the author's experience, which is considerable and quite...
