    I think that's the video I saw.

    Air India 787 crashes on take off

    Was watching various youtube videos regarding the crash last night, and found one that (if accurate) might be the smoking gun. Supposedly, the 787s have had a continuing problem with leaky water connections. To make matters worse, the leak is reportedly over the electronics bay. I've felt from...

    Electric car ship fire.

    I know that loading and unloading would be a pain in the neck, but it seems it would be a lot safer to ship the cars and the batteries separately. Perhaps the electric vehicles could be lifted into place on an open top deck, and the batteries could be transported on a smaller, dedicated vessel...

    Baltimore Bridge collapse after ship collision

    Ah, but how many pilot suicides have we had since then? And the Greek hypoxia flight. Would those have happened if others had been able to access the cockpit? Just saying, one has to be careful that in solving one problem, one does not create another. And I'd say the biggest deterrent to a...

    Church Steeple collapse, New London CT

    Local word is that the building sold a few years ago for $250,000. Considering that you're lucky to buy a small one story house around here for that.... My guess is that the sellers knew there were issues and couldn't unload it fast enough.

    Church Steeple collapse, New London CT

    Two comments I've seen posted on one of the New London facebook pages (New London Strong) - I have no idea of the accuracy: State pier construction shook downtown for awhile driving piers to bedrock in the river The architect warned in 1851 that the steeple was unstable and should be rebuilt...

    Church Steeple collapse, New London CT

    Not sure how to link this, but at https://www.facebook.com/groups/346679428820631/user/100062782580697/ There's an interview with a gentleman who was working on other nearby buildings who claims he saw stress cracks in the granite that morning.

    Church Steeple collapse, New London CT

    I'm seeing claims locally that the steeple has been leaning for months or more...

    Church Steeple collapse, New London CT

    Yeah, and they fed the homeless there every morning. I think that was in the rear (newer) addition, but still, even people walking past... This is about five miles from me. If I hear any interesting local chatter I'll post.

    JAL A350 burns at Haneda Airport after collision on runway

    I've been following this on pprune.org (airline pilots forum, you can read without being a member). A couple things I haven't seen mentioned here.... Theory is the jet wasn't completely on the ground when it hit the Dash, that rear landing gear had touched down, but nose was still high...

    Formula 1 Prelim Stopped because of Manhole Cover Failure

    My understanding is that it wasn't the cover that came loose, but the whole top of the pipe/the concrete around it.

    Fire shuts down I10 in LA

    Homeless were affected, but it doesn't sound like they were the main problem. https://www.wfsb.com/2023/11/13/los-angeles-motorists-urged-take-public-transportation-after-massive-fire-closes-interstate/

    A near miss, but something to consider as a risk...

    I just happened to see this and wanted to provide a small clarification. The Fedex crew that was attacked by the hammer wielding jumpseater was a 3 man crew. If there had been only the pilot and copilot, undoubtedly the jumpseater would have succeeded, as even the three of them barely managed to...

    Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii

    Where I live, there are sirens located around town. Most often, they're used to announce winter storms and parking restrictions, but they can announce ANY sort of emergency, whether it's a storm or the local nuke plant melts down. Why would they put up sirens without speakers? I've read some...

    Sucked into turbine

    For what it's worth, the rumor on the airline pilot's forum is that there was a note left.

    Golden Star Bridge, New London Connecticut

    I'm local. They've opened the left two lanes. For those not familiar, this is the main route between NYC and Boston. There's really no good detour, the closest alternate bridge is one lane each way near the casinos. Suffice to say traffic has been a mess. Word is that a car blew a tire and...

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 17

    I believe this camera was located in the part of the building that survived, but I assume it would have failed when the power went out? Not sure what would have initially triggered it, possibly vibration from the initial deck collapse?

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 17

    I don't think this has been posted? Ring camera from inside the part of the building that remained standing. Doesn't really show anything, but you can hear the collapse. Link

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 17

    Linked video is a local station's story about the mother and daughter that survived falling on top of the rubble. The beginning recounts their actions and how they ended up where they did. Link
