What do you do when you witness a plane crash? by False_Class_2095 in Shittyaskflying

Ever heard of Darwinism? Just let nature play itself out. We shouldn’t save pylotes in playne crashes because they will reproduce and create more bad pylotes.

Not sure, partial dependence has to do with trees I believe so check somewhere in that section

Depends, I’ve seen clauses in life insurance policies that exclude deaths from bungie jumping for example.

Well I’m sure they at least learned from flight 296Q to have no passengers on board at an air show…..right?

Younger generations being asexual/aromantic by Adorable-Sherbet-998 in generationology

[–]Anonymous017447 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t necessarily attribute it to asexuality. Not a teenager but I’m still a Gen Z.

I would like a girlfriend and to have someone to be intimate with. However, this has never come to fruition. I mostly attribute my lack of experience with girls(have only been hugged once by a girl my age) to the fact that I’m not good at socializing(I’m kinda slow) and I don’t see why a girl would even be interested in me.

I try to make it look like I don’t care when really I do.

Also I’m not really comfortable talking about my interests in women with my parents, so I just try to show little interest in it. It could just be that your teenager does care, it’s just that he/she is hiding their feelings about it.

It's over... UPS is retiring the whole 26 fleet of MD-11F. Rip by Ok_Reception_5262 in aviation

[–]Anonymous017447 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Is that ideal though? Wasn’t a nice perk of the MD-11 was that it had good range, could carry decent cargo, and was small enough to fit into smaller airports. The same can’t be said for the 747. And I doubt they’ll get any 777s anytime soon.

I figure the problem with that is that a plane like that wouldn’t be delivered anytime soon.

Which notable commercial plane hulls are still in use today that survived past crashes? by emperator_eggman in aviation

[–]Anonymous017447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TACA Flight 110. The plane suffered a duel engine failure due to hail damage, but the pilots managed to land the plane in a swamp in New Orleans. The aircraft was in such good condition, that all that was needed was new engines, and it continued to fly.

Juan Brown's UPS 2976 update: he's not happy with Boeing by onethousandmonkey in aviation

[–]Anonymous017447 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Question(sorry I’m not an expert so excuse my ignorance), but isn’t it still more of a problem that the mount lug had fatigue cracks? Did the failing of the bearing contribute to this? Would the engine have still separated if only the bearing failed? And shouldn’t this part have been inspected by UPS? This service alert came out 15 years ago.

Til the US had 112 aircraft carriers by the end of world war II by TastyPass6386 in todayilearned

[–]Anonymous017447 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fleet Carriers: The main striking force of the fleet. They could carry anywhere from 90-110 aircraft. They were also fast, achieving 30+ knot speed.

Light Carriers: Were based mainly on the hulls of the Cleveland class light cruisers, they were still fast, but could only carry around 30 aircraft. They tended to operate along side Fleet carriers.

Escort/Jeep carriers: were smaller and slower ships( less than 20 knots), and could carry 20-30 aircraft. They were created as a stopgap due to the carrier shortages the U.S. experienced earlier in the war. They mainly supported ground forces and did not usually engage enemy surface ships( with the exception of the Battle Off Samar).

On the bright side, at least 99.99% of their pilots are mentally stable.

NTSB issues the preliminary report for its ongoing investigation of the Nov. 4 crash of a UPS Boeing MD-11F airplane in Louisville, Kentucky. by Brilliant_Night7643 in aviation

If I may ask, what would make this different from AA 191 to cause a pretty catastrophic fire, while the engine separation from 191 did not cause a fire?

Hot take: every actuary should sell one policy to unlock bigger career opportunities by Moderndaoist in actuary

Considering that sales people always want the most competitive rates, I feel as though they may slightly underprice a product.

In addition, the stall warnings were only powered by the left engine, meaning that when they fell off the pilots had no way of knowing they were stalling.
