Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - January 29, 2025 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
This is the Wednesday night ONT.
What is going on with the Brits? Britains first ever cyber-farting case: Woman, 25, faces jail after bombarding her boyfriend's ex with videos of her farting
In Britains first ever cyber-farting case, Evans bombarded her with several "inappropriate" videos of herself passing wind that were "indecent or grossly offensive." Prosecutor Diane Williams told magistrates at Caernarfon, north Wales, that in the first video message: "She proceeds to pass gas by placing the camera on her bottom and passing the gas." On December 22, there were three more videos of her letting rip. Ms Williams said that over the course of the next few days, another four were sent of the same nature, showing "Miss Evans passing wind, her face smiling at the camera." Evans was handed a 12-month community order, and defended her actions to The Sun, branding the case against her "petty".Here it comes:
Evans, who was said to have mental health problems, was also handed 15 rehabilitation sessions, 60 days alcohol abstinence monitoring and a two-year restraining order. She must pay £100 compensation and £199 costs.Mental problems, huh? Never would have guessed. Looks like the victim only gets a hundred pounds for their distress.
A tray of cheesy nachos flew from the stands and onto the ice, distracting Logan Thompson from stopping a shot during a narrow victory over the Edmonton Oilers, the Washington Capitals goalie said.
Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking? Come out and play. DeepSeek was not used in the construction of this ONT. The ONT is endorsed by Executive Order.

In the online Flight Simulator community, (I hate that term, community), flight simmers include both pilots & ATC. Yeah, there are lots of people out there who enjoy "playing" Air Traffic Controller and take it quite seriously.
These people get all the gear and play their part for the sim pilots to add to the "immersion" of the "game."

I had biz in VA in mid January 1982 and flew into DC National the day after the Florida Air crash, cranes and gear all clustered at the bridge and along the banks. I had repeat trips for half the year and always thought the DC airport a dicey place to be going with all the military bases nearby.
I pray for all aboard, that the end was instantaneous.

It is not unusual at all to see the Stars and Bars hereabouts in TN - especially during Memorial Day. On the square here in town is a memorial to all of our county's war dead. For the War Between the States' the listed KIA are roughly equal between the Blue and the Gray.

It's Germanic AND Latin (Saxon and French), with rules from both languages.
And it has evolved in some cases but not all. (Across a really wide range of geography.)
If you read a lot and listened to a lot of different people growing up, you pulled it all in organically. If not (or you can't handle "exceptions"), then you struggle.

There is what is called controlled air space around every airport that other aircraft cannot transit without express permission of ATC. These air spaces are clearly marked on all charts used by pilots.
So again, I must ask what the hell was the helicopter doing in air space it had no business in.

The plural of mouse is mice,

but more than one house is not hice,
nor a flock of moose known as meese.
You might have a couple of beers,
you might wish a hundred wishes,
but you can't see a couple of deers,
and a hundred fish are not fishes.
Yet if I have two scissors, and I give you one,
each now has scissors. English is fun!

That's one of the two quotes that define the English language.
"English is the result of Norman men-at-arms attempting to pick up Saxon barmaids and is no more legitimate than any of the other results." - H. Beam Piper
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." - James D. Nicoll

It's Germanic AND Latin (Saxon and French), with rules from both languages.
And it has evolved in some cases but not all. (Across a really wide range of geography.)
If you read a lot and listened to a lot of different people growing up, you pulled it all in organically. If not (or you can't handle "exceptions"), then you struggle.

Many of the sim pilots are also real pilots and many of the sim ATC guys are also real ATC. Love Airforceproud95's YouTube videos of this stuff. Some people don't like that he got more serious when he started flying real planes, but it's quite enjoyable.

There is what is called controlled air space around every airport that other aircraft cannot transit without express permission of ATC. These air spaces are clearly marked on all charts used by pilots.
So again, I must ask what the hell was the helicopter doing in air space it had no business in.

Controller dealing with two simultaneous air space incursions. While he fixated on the Grumman the other incursion kept on flying. Plane was on VFR and the pilot apparently lost. By the time the controller finished with the Grumman, the other plane collided with a PSA DC-9 resulting in a complete loss of life at a place called Ceritos.

There is still one house on Bath Avenue, Brooklyn that Moe and Curly built in 1929-30. They had left vaudeville because it was dying out. Shemp went to Hollywood and stayed.

Thor's brother and s-i-l lived in Cerritos at the time. She had just had pretty extensive back surgery, and was laying out by the pool when she saw the plane coming down. She said thought it was going to crash right on top of her. She jumped up and ran and said she God must have helped her, because she could barely walk on her own at the time.
Plane went down about half a mile from their house.

And, the kid goes, "It's not getting down I'm worried about. I could do that now, but I'd be a spot on the tarmac. I want to get down properly."

I've been to the very spot where the DC-9 came down. No memorial at that location but the Cerritos Civic center has something.
Cerritos itself is a very nice suburb situated in south east L. A. county, northeast of Long Beach, along the 605 and 91 freeways.
A joke to lighten the mood:
Guy gets pulled over for speeding on the 91 Fwy. Cop tells him - you were doing 85 mph. Guy says 'but the speed limit here is 91'. Cop says 'that the route sign. You're on the 91 fwy'.
Guy says 'good thing you weren't around on the 605.....

The system runs in different modes. Ground, terminal and En-route. They would have been in Terminal mode, or close-in mode and the system detects and displays airborne threats from 5 mi or less. indicates direction, altitude, trend (climbing/decending)
and speed. The initial warning is aural, ie: "traffic, 3 O'clock low, less than one mile followed by a aural prompt, "pull up" "turn left" etc for avoidance. However, if for some reason the military aircraft had its ADS-B turned off, the CRJ wouldn't "see" it.

One 747 was cleared for takeoff. Another 747 crossed onto the runway without a clearance putting it right in the path of the 747 on its takeoff roll.
The pilots yanked the 747 off the ground before V1 and managed to get it airborne. Unfortunately, not soon enough. Their undercarriage tore through the fuselage of the plane on the ground, causing the airborne plane to go out of control and crash. The 747 on the ground was completely destroyed as well.

Report to DoD and FBI Officials.
Gen Mark Milley may have received a pardon, but his subordinate and legal counsel, Admiral Christopher French did not.
This morning at 1134, I submitted, to both the FBI and DoD leadership, evidence of crimes committed by Admiral Chris French and a coverup by Admiral Darse Crandall. I was provided this information by a whistleblower. Under military regulations I have a duty to report this information and have fulfilled that duty.
Since the initial contact by the whistleblower, a small group of Constitution-defending officers and I vetted what was provided and confirmed the whistleblower’s story through other whistleblowers and with physical evidence.

One 747 was cleared for takeoff. Another 747 crossed onto the runway without a clearance putting it right in the path of the 747 on its takeoff roll.
The pilots yanked the 747 off the ground before V1 and managed to get it airborne. Unfortunately, not soon enough. Their undercarriage tore through the fuselage of the plane on the ground, causing the airborne plane to go out of control and crash. The 747 on the ground was completely destroyed as well.

A jet which is landing is still going, what, 200mph, and the helicopter is coming in at an angle to that path. That seems like it would be hard to eyeball, particularly at night.

I think that is just about impossible to do in reality. Anyone that thinks that needs to seriously think about all the variables involved. Damn near impossible I would think.
Plus it was at night when situational awareness is really limited. You can't get an accurate vector from a flashing light when you are moving.
Only way that would be feasible was for you to be moving much faster that the target and overtake it.
Plus there were three people onboard the chopper.

- CIA- Helicopter left Fort Belvoir, home of the CIA, but as of now they say it was training.
- Flying dark - Video seems to show helicopter was indeed flying dark, part of training?
- VIP flight- Yes it was a PAC Helicopter that transports VIP’s but they’re saying no VIP’s on board at the time. Military training exercise.
- Transponder - Conflicting reports, some say on, some say off. But it must of been on if flight trackers are being posted.
-Flight pattern- Conflicting reports on if it was sus or not.
Conclusion= Still feels Sus but hopefully just an accident. Information is changing quickly. It’s my job to question everything.
Tragic, prayers for the families, hope more people are rescued.

The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!

But sentences like this, and those in the links up top almost never occur in normal usage by native English speakers, because we have such a great wealth of synonyms for practically every commonly used noun and verb. If it came up in conversation, you and I would most likely say, "I have doubts about booking a trip to visit the reservations."

The problem with living in this country is that it's gone quasi-Soviet. You don't know what the truth is, just that official sources aren't truthful.
I assume it's a fuck up, nothing more. But will I really ever know? Probably not. No one wants me to know anything anymore.

Consider that if you're trying to do it deliberately, you only get one shot before someone notices what you're doing. We roll the dice on an accident anytime two aircraft are within a mile or two of each other, which must happen thousands of times a day near airports.
Also, there's audio of communication between the tower and the helicopter pilot, and nothing seems out of order (i.e. no one was shouting 'aloha snackbar' and ATC isn't exactly frantic).

Conspiracy Update #2
- CIA- Helicopter left Fort Belvoir, home of the CIA, but as of now they say it was training.
- Flying dark - Video seems to show helicopter was indeed flying dark, part of training?
- VIP flight- Yes it was a PAC Helicopter that transports VIP’s but they’re saying no VIP’s on board at the time. Military training exercise.
- Transponder - Conflicting reports, some say on, some say off. But it must of been on if flight trackers are being posted.
-Flight pattern- Conflicting reports on if it was sus or not.
Conclusion= Still feels Sus but hopefully just an accident. Information is changing quickly. It’s my job to question everything.
Tragic, prayers for the families, hope more people are rescued.

The UH-60 was traveling south pretty much following the east shore of the Potomac River.
But just after flying past the USSS HQ at JFB Andrews the flight path zings out towards the center of the river just as this passenger jet is on final approach.

He pulled an Andrea Doria? Maybe.
I have the sad suspicion that the American Eagle pilots never saw the UH-60 so the CVR will probably have nothing except a query "do you see him?" and a reply of "negative" followed by them continuing with the landing. Likely impact judging from the flight paths would have the UH-60 hitting behind the wing on the right side.

📌#Washington | #DC
Watch as exclusive playback, sent anonymously by @avgeekjake to Rawsalerst, reveals official Air Traffic Control radar footage displaying the Collision Alert. This alert is not for an imminent collision but serves as a tool to draw heightened attention from the controllers to potential risks. The footage then captures the critical moment when both aircraft collided, emphasizing the urgency of the controllers' split-second decisions. The radar data provides a detailed view of the events leading up to the crash, offering valuable insight into the sequence of actions and how the situation ultimately unfolded.

And perhaps the helo crew saw the approaching airliner, but believed they were sufficiently below its flight path to avoid a collision. And in the last few seconds, one realized that they were on collision course, and shouted, "Go down!" And the green pilot pulled up on the collective instead.

Helicopter Pilot Error. 100%. End of story.
ATC did their job.
Tower instructed to pilot to sight TRJ and "pass behind" TRJ. Pilot acknowledged.

It did look like the helicopter was at fault. The video is blurry so who knows.
The jet was in two pieces in the water. I wonder if the helicopter broadsided the plane.
What a terrible thing for everyone involved.

Why do IRS agents need guns? Trump needs to disarm all the agencies that don't get disbanded. Sell all the guns and ammo to civilians. If they need official backup then use local LEOs.

VH-60 "gold top" Helicopter
Oh, for fuck's sake...
Okay, so presumably the helicopter was operating out of Joint Base Bolling, ACROSS the river from Reagan Intl Airport.
Here's where it gets interesting: There exists a "procedure" in this area where aircraft (helicopters) can "dart" across the river RIGHT ACROSS THE FINAL APPROACH for Runway 33.
So what the Helicopter Pilot did was, quite likely, a ROUTINE Procedure.
Unfortunately, the Pilot FAILED to spot the Delta CRJ and fly BEHIND it.
One more thing, these two aircraft were likely on TWO different Frequencies but communicating with the same Tower/Controller. Which means, I think, the Delta Crew was completely unaware of what was transpiring.

Yes. Feel sorry for all the victims' families....

I hope they are contained soon.

It has been an interesting Fall/Winter. Damn near afraid to step outside.
What's odd is that all of this is having a psychological impact on people. Numerous people have told me that they don't feel safe anymore. Not 'safe' in the sociological sense, but something larger.

'Tis Thor's Day, the Day of the Hammer, or Friday Eve. All kinds of ways to look at it. Are you still having some winter? I think ours is pretty much done.

Yeah, I looked up the thread and saw. My condolences to you and your man. When I first got sober, one of the sayings at AA meetings that annoyed me no end was, "God never gives us more than we can handle." I was like, "Oh, yeah? Really, huh? Tell me all about that." But over time . . . I came to see it was true. It may not seem like it at the time, and maybe not for a good while, but eventually . . .
Anyway, last week I handled the snow. (I tell people I looked like one of those Antarctic explorers with ice in my beard, and I was sure I was being stalked across my parking lot by a leopard seal.) People here panicked, of course, but it really wasn't that bad.

Well... I've handled so much over the last few years, and so much more just lately, feels like I'm gonna crack! Hubby, bless him, doesn't even realize that he's all messed up.

Yeah, it's one of those maxims that make you go, "Aw, c'mon. Tell me another one." But it is true, JQ. Maybe best in retrospect, though.

I'm not even sure the hotel is still there since Katrina, and the area has changed a *lot.* The town of Waveland was almost completely gone the last time I looked.
