Well this doesn't look like a very good situation. People climbing all over the wing and the plane on fire whilst parked at the stand.

A Delta plane appears to have touched a wing tip during landing, ripped the wing off then promptly flipped over onto its back.
As they were on the airfield and this time didn't run into anything or catch fire, everyone is alive, though not surprisingly some injuries...

Looks like a near text book landing wheels up until they hit a rather oddly placed concrete wall.
Only two survivors.
In the engineering and Disasters forum there is a debate going on about how a 440V board with a bus tie and two incoming transformers should or is normally operated.

1) Well the scope of appendix VIII, A802.1 clearly covers pipeline risers, so it looks the most suitable section to use to me.
2) Nothing attached. But please spell out or identify which variations you are talking about.
3) This is not a free engineering service or design review service. Your...
One of the most notorious UK building disasters in 1968 - Ronan Point - has re surfaced in an even older building in Bristol this week. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/nov/15/barton-house-what-happened-and-what-is-bristol-council-doing-about-it

Not sure if this came up anywhere but this old rusting tanker in Yemen was in the news about 2-3 years ago - typical report - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/11/rotting-red-sea-oil-tanker-could-leave-8m-people-without-water

Seems the plane, an A321, was only 200ft off the ground so I can only assume the inside air pressure was the same as outside as normally everyone says you can't...

Air crash in Nepal.
A bit down this link is a few seconds showing a severe wing dip and from eye witnesses the plane rolled.
Doesn't seem to have a lot of flap on and apprentice the co pilot only had 100 hrs.
New airport...

Hi all,
I've got a question here about how to calculate the mass flow / volume flow through a Thermal Relief valve (I don't know the size or orifice, but assume it's the smallest ones anyone makes for piping so maybe 1/2" x 1"?).
The piping in question had a surge type event a few weeks ago...
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for past experience or knowledge of how a double containment or jacketed pipe is designed, tested and certified in the US (or anywhere else for that matter).
Details as much as I can disclose.
It's a metal (Carbon steel) pipe in pipe pipeline (i.e. outside of the...
Ok, maybe not a disaster as such, but the para glider (NOT a parachutist) attempted to fly into the Allianz arena last night before the game. I think he might have been simply trying to drop a big yellow football, but apparently lost power. But if that lot had actually landed inside the stadium...
FacEngrPE dropped this in an obscure post and it reads very well.

Not a huge amount of detail at the moment but a dreadful tragedy and difficult to understand how this could happen. The factor of safety on a cable car cable must be huge as it is so vital.

There was a recent post here which disappeared as the poster was asking for a design, but I was intrigued enough to do some research into this.
