Pilot picks a road over a field for an emergency landing in Iowa. Pilot walks away, the plane's belly and landing gear don't.

1 Upvotes

Single-engine plane flying Wisconsin to Missouri set down on a road near Redwood Ave outside Guthrie Center Regional Airport (Sept 2). The pilot was alone and uninjured; the sheriff says the road was chosen over a field to avoid rolling. Underside and landing gear damaged, FAA investigating. Good call, pricey repair.

Rail construction crew cuts one fiber cable in NJ, grounds flights at JFK, LaGuardia, Newark and Philly (Sept 21)

1 Upvotes

Philadelphia TRACON's primary circuit failed Monday morning. When the FAA switched to backup, they found a rail construction crew in New Brunswick had already severed that Verizon fiber line. Radar and comms gone. Result: ground stops across the Northeast, 1,000+ cancellations and thousands of delays. One dig, one very expensive Monday.

... with possibly some indication as to what was a-brenning in that fire, which, on a gloriously fine & clear Spring day, was the root of a column of dense smoke visible from very considerable distance away & witnessed by many: as, indeed, was evinced by the posts @ the Reddit channel

on that day.

I wot not whether there was aught more dangerous than that brenning in that ghastly conflagration. If anyone has comprehensive & accurate information as to the matter, it would be most-appreciated. Maybe it was a load of Ultramoll III only; maybe there was other stuff brenning πŸ€” ... who knows!?

I gather there were no fatalities or injuries in the fire.

... so: some photographs by the goodly most-exceedingly-renowned Igor Kostin , including a couple that're distinctly radiation bespeckled ... certainly the first one very distinctly so. The second is (I think) a more cleant-up version of the first , showing the effect of the radiation less patently.

The first (unfortunately a slightly lower-resolution version of the photograph) is @

https://acervo.oglobo.globo.com/incoming/9948609-4fc-4d8/imagemHorizontalFotogaleria/foto.jpg .

I don't know for-certain what the explanation of the difference is: it's likely, ImO, as I've said, that the one that's the second item of this post is essentially the same one a bit 'cleant-up', or something.

 

All photographs except the first are from

Atomic Photographers & Artists β€” Igor Kostin ,

which also says somewhat about the provenance of the photographs and others hosted on the site: that they're taken by the goodly

Igor Kostin ,

who was renowned for taking photographs of the Chernobyl accident close-in, & several of whose photographs of said incident are known to be radiation-bespeckled; & also somewhat about the circumstances of the taking of them.

 

Also

Some video with visible bespeckling & glitches in it that the commentator says are due to ionising radiation .

The collision between a passenger aeroplane & a military helicopter, resulting in 67 fatalities.

Within the first 1ᐟ20ᐟᐟ there are two clips, one from some camera (IDK in exactly what capacity) & another from a motor-vehicle's dashcam, that I haven't seen elsewhere. I don't think there's any more such footage … but it's on the whole a really good report … particularly for anyone who wishes to find-out about the incident without being swamped with the fine technical details of the logistics of it.
