    China Eastern Airlines flight MU5735 737-800 Crash

    Nah the DHL had a hydraulic failure of the left, which caused only half the spoilers to engage. You can see only 50% up. But the pilot makes a mistake, he pulls the stick left which caused the spoilers on the right to disengage. Instead should have used rudder left. This is why the aircraft did...

    Ukraine Nuclear Power Plants

    Both sides put out propaganda. You have to find the truth somewhere in the middle. "Such and such broke ceasefire" is definitely propaganda. "Such and such won't let civilians escape the city", also that's propaganda. Multiple times I have seen fake news. It's usually done with using wrong...

    Floor collapse at Enmore theatre, Sydney - carpet saves the day

    I think under the floor is ground. And the rain caused part of the ground to sink. The foundation is probably just for the structure of the building and nothing significant is under the floor. Literally dirt with a layer of flooring.

    Ukraine Nuclear Power Plants

    I just don't understand why people buy into this nuclear threat propaganda. Like I pretty much follow both sides. RT might be propaganda, but it's very nuanced and goes to exceptional effort to explain itself and the motivations behind the actions. Could it be made up? Sure. Could there be lies...

    Ukraine Nuclear Power Plants

    The thing is, if your military isn't capable of preventing the enemy reaching the NPP, then what good is trying to wage a battle at it? I think that what happened was Russian troops said "surrender or else", maybe a few shots to prove they meant business. Troops at the NPP surrendered. Minimal...

    Ukraine Nuclear Power Plants

    Why was the military stationed at the Z NPP? You'd think that perhaps this was a bad idea? Also what was the outcome? Russia says 200 surrendered, weapons cache and orders to fight to the last man. You think logic prevailed? And they surrendered because they realised the Russians were serious...

    Ukraine Nuclear Power Plants

    Look to be honest the entire "nuclear terror" journalism was false. The conflict occurred in a neighbouring building. Though it is said by the Russians that 200 Ukrainian troops surrendered at the NPP with orders to battle to the last man. A huge weapons cache inside the NPP was found and...

    40-ton timber arches collapse in Hickory, NC

    I think the gods of engineering are smiling whenever non structural pieces fall over. Just a good thing they are ignoring Melbourne. We have so many such things here. (Bolte bridge)

    SF Tower settlement Part III

    100 feet? No issue sooner?

    SF Tower settlement Part III

    The more it leans though the more pressure is being applied more to the footings on one side of the building though? Won't there be a point of no return in terms of the leaning will increase at this point and it won't be possible to stop?

    SF Tower settlement Part III

    How much of a lean can the building sustain before the lean compromises the structure? Obviously it's designed to be upright, and perhaps a lean isn't calculated into the design. At what point does the structure have to be demolished and these patch fixes abandoned as pointless?

    SF Tower settlement Part III

    How many inches before the building becomes unstable?

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 15

    Regardless, I'm sure it got into the 40 year old structure of the pool deck, one way or another.

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 15

    I agree with the failure starting at the south wall. I mean, it makes sense. It also occurred with a car parked above it right? To me it makes sense that the weakest point on the south wall is where the planters and car are. And moving to the north from there we have the design flaw caused by...

    Pittsburgh bridge collapse

    Well at least they could have closed a lane on each side. Damn. Also those columns are covered in rust. That break in the cross member should have been the moment you shut the bridge down and fixed it. You know during COVID a bit of engineering work would be great. True? Stimulate the economy...

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 15

    I have a question. If you know the construction to the south is damaging your property, why didn't you do anything about it?

    Flyover collapse in Hubei, China

    Chinese: the truck was overweight. Right, and it had nothing to do with the bridge being poorly designed. In Asia the standards are reduced, something my wife told me, be very careful with my 120kg mass. She was referring to lifts and escalators. Such are poorly designed.

    Potential Disaster, 5G and Aircraft

    The Chinese were detected pushing a patch to equipment in Australia that was spying on communications.

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 15

    It may not be entirely possible to know if the failure started at the south wall, but I think it's worth considering. And maybe they know more about this then the public. But question, if they knew there was a problem at the south wall, why didn't they do anything about it? Here is something...
