In an unprecedented announcement the Army is not identifying the co-pilot on the doomed Black Hawk involved in yesterday’s collision with a passenger jet. This is at the request of next of kin. It remains unclear if this is a temporary thing, which would seem to be the case, as is there is expectation of privacy or anonymity in government service. A little strange perhaps. I can understand needing time to prepare, but public affairs should have made this clear.

Sean Hannity had a lady radio producer named Flipper who was a lefty and some kind of animal activist. Sean sent her a Lobstergram for Christmas. They were a sponsor of the show. She was horrified and quickly went to release the poor creature. She released it in a local fresh-water pond.

I was camping with my wife in the Catskills at a nice, little private campground in the early 80s. They showed a movie every night on a large screen outside. We had a site nearby, but not in sight of the screen. They had the sound way up and were showing Temple of Doom. Every night from 8:30-10:30, or so.
That movie even sounded terrible. Loud explosions, screaming, etc. Never did go see it-the sound was bad enough. Posted by: Gene Shalit at January 31, 2025 10:37 PM (G5+As) 123

Posted by: Diogenes at January 31, 2025 10:23 PM (W/lyH) There's nothing much else to say at this point. I mean, when you sacrifice you're own little white girls on the altar of multicultural diversity both while crowing about diversity's success and covering up the actual rape/murder perpetrators, blaming all 'Asians' (like it's the Thais and the Philippinos, too). Then the government's heavy-handed reprisals against those who protest against the goverment/muslims, in real life and on line. Very sad. It's the same with Ireland. No Irish left and, if there are any, they're racist for wanting Ireland for the Irish. Don't know if Farage is the answer to Britain's problems, but I don't think he can be any worse than Labour or Conservative are. But who knows? Maybe they need a ball-breaking, bull-in-the-china-shop Tommy Robinson? They need somethin', though. And fast. Those islands are sinking under their immigration invasions.

Anime weirdo here. Shoto Todoroki isn't a psycho, but his dad is an abusive psycho. The mark on his face is from a burn, I think sort of accidentally caused by his mom, who was also massively abused by the dad. So Todoroki has crazy dad in common with Zuko, at least...though Todoroki's dad is sort of trying to do better. Sort of.
Posted by: JediArashi at January 31, 2025 10:39 PM (7AQGk) Endeavor (Todoroki's dad) *was* an abusive psycho. His redemption arc is one of the main reasons I've kept up with the show. He's a genuinely three-dimensional character in the sense that he changes gradually over time, and is sincere in his desire to make amends for his past abuse. And it's not an easy path for him; it's a much greater struggle than any villain he fights in the show. He's actually one of my favorite characters because of his commitment to fixing what he's broken. But yeah, to the original point, Todoroki's far from a psycho. He just starts out as cold and distant, but over the course of the series he becomes friendlier. Posted by: Caiwyn at January 31, 2025 11:01 PM (BaIXK) 204

I'm not 100% up-to-date with the MHA anime, and I haven't read any of the manga, so I wasn't sure how far his "redemption" arc had gotten. I remember seeing him realize that he had done so many terrible things in his pursuit of being a hero and surpassing All-Might. I saw the attempt at a reconciliation dinner with his kids, but I recall that the dinner went about exactly as well as one could expect between some of the injured parties. I'm glad that he kept up with trying to do better, though. You don't always see that kind of thing in a lot of media, where an abuser actually, genuinely turns the corner. You're right about Todoroki initially seeming cold, though. It was fun to see him open up after a while. I enjoy seeing character arcs like that, too.

Either/or, it ramps up the possibility that this was no 'accident'.
The simplest explanation is the helicopter pilot incorrectly identified the trailing CRJ instead of the leading CRJ as the plane to avoid and didn't know there were two CRJs landing. If I was a military helicopter pilot with evil intent and I was being trained to fly VIPs, I wouldn't use my one and only evil card on a random commuter plane.

And we don't think of the football pyramid much here, but even small towns have teams in lower leagues that can have good attendance. The whole country is watching some form of football Friday evening through Sunday afternoon, national or local telly, or live. Honestly, football's the replacement for religion, not just in England but across Europe. That's your circus, your entertainment. (Religion was always drama/entertainment for the masses.)

The simplest explanation is the helicopter pilot incorrectly identified the trailing CRJ instead of the leading CRJ as the plane to avoid and didn't know there were two CRJs landing.
If I was a military helicopter pilot with evil intent and I was being trained to fly VIPs, I wouldn't use my one and only evil card on a random commuter plane. Posted by: Chuck C at January 31, 2025 11:27 PM (D0HYP) The very FIRST thing I thought of when I heard the conversation between ATC and the helicopter was it seemed a little vague. Like duuude, *puufff* do you see that plane man? Are you fucking kidding me? There are a shit ton of planes in the sky there, why the hell didn't he give the pilot a reference point, like do you see the plane coming in from the east, or west, or whatever frigging direction it from coming from. Even something simple like to your left. I'm not even sure if anybody talked about that. No heading, no direction, just yeah dude do you see the plane. I think that was a major fuckup.

There's one anime, called Erased, that I wish had been done as a live action mini-series so my mom would watch it. The plot of that thing is fantastic, I'm not even sure how to describe it.

Do you know what grief can do to a person who has lost their entire family in a preventable mid-air collision?
DHL cargo jet coming out of Italy. Charter flight from Moscow full of school children and chaperones going to Spain. Air traffic controller goes home early. Leaving one controller for two screens that are feet apart. And at the same time technicians start working on the radar and the phones while this guy is trying to handle aircraft. While he was trying to hand off one flight, those two planes were approaching each other. Both planes had TCAS. DHL followed the TCAS commands, the Russian plane followed the controller's commands. Mid-air resulted. One man lost his entire family in that tragedy. He found the name of the controller, where he lived, and then stabbed him to death. Ponder that will you?

I acquired the WuHan flu and recovered from it long before any experimental emergency use only vaxx was just a gleam in Fauci’s eye.

Orlok is still somewhat new to the Internet, but, having been assured that this is a blog most military and smart, may someone put this Count some knowledge? Specifically, what is the thing about the memes within memes about memes? Neither Blacula nor Count Yorga, who have graced me with their presence for the upcoming Groundhog Day festivities (it is a Nosferatu thing, and hence difficult to explain to mortals, and also the reason Bill di Blasio is our mortal enemy - you do not murder the rodent prophet of the Winter Solstice and expect to get away with it) can discern the answer either, and Blacula was an early adapter to things digital. I should also mention that Count Yorga sends a big shout-out to all his fans and apologizes for the poor portrayal actor Robert Quarry delivered in both cinematic portrayals of his adventures. My rodent-like fangs emphasize my smile as I await your response, good friends of the Horde.

327 There's a Schwarzenegger movie based very loosely on that incident. IIRC, that collision was way in the middle of nowhere with no other traffic around for many many miles. Like the Brazil mid-air collision a few year ago.

352 "With all the sophisticated technology we have that audio sounds WWII quality."
Commercial aviation still uses good old fashioned amplitude modulation on VHF for radiotelephone comms; same mode, same band for 90(?) years. (They also use HF SSB, when flying over the ocean, and digital modes for ACARS, VDL2 and ADS-B.) Posted by: gp Steps On Cusp Barefooted In the USAF, 6 of the 10 years I was in was working in long haul comms using HF SSB. Now this was (counts fingers and toes) a while back for me, but I'm betting its still being used by the military, for a number of reasons, most of them pretty reasonable.

Flying is amazingly safe, except when it isn't. Many years ago when I was an active private pilot I was climbing to 8K feet to get a tailwind, in a totally empty area of the Midwest, total CAVU (clear air visibility unlimited) conditions, when another small plane came out from the left side and crossed within no more then a hundred feet or so. We were on tracks where each of us was in the other's blind spot. What are the odds? Sometimes shit just happens. In my case, it didn't.

She was all ready to go legs up at pankot palace until she found out the dude running the place was 12. At the same time she wasn't a diabolical bitch, and was pretty much a harmless ditz, and then gets thrown into what was portrayed as a total shithole, being fed bug guts and watched fucking primitives eating monkey brains, bugs, and snakes.

Walter Reed is big, and it is old. Every administration gets beat over the head with the condition of the building.
The pictures look like a major water line or sprinkler pipe failed. I suspect there has been a project on the books for years to replace that system, but since it hadn't failed yet, it was pushed back over and over for higher priority work. Facility Maintenance work is expensive, hospital work even more so. The good news is it is one of the few problems that can be solved by throwing money at it. The bad news is there is relatively little opportunity for the Military Industrial Complex to enrich itself by doing so, and thus no incentive.

Well, I discovered a little bug in how this weather station and the Wunderground network (and Ambient network as well) interact. The rain bucket tripped another 0.01" in the last minute before midnight. That occurred after the last transmission of the day. Everything resets at midnight, and the result is it missed that last 0.01" of rain. The station console's internal record file did record it, but Wunderground missed it. Thinking about it, that's not an easy thing to fix, it's a bug of the timing and transmission format, I think. You'd have to put something in to have a special daily revision method somehow.
