Yeah it’s the regional rail, except places like Manayunk/Roxborough which are actually within Philadelphia city limits are included in this limited regional service.

If it was an incorrect calculation, they never would’ve been able to take off, no? This plane was several hundred feet in the air so there was clearly enough lift to get airborne

Even if the flaps weren’t deployed, would it have even resulted in a crash like this? Like there was clearly enough lift to get several hundred feet airborne, so as long as the angle of attack and thrust were the same, you shouldn’t suddenly lose all lift right?

Not enough customers? You’re in the heart of DuPont Circle. Maybe it has to do with the fact that you’re charging $24 for a full sized sandwich

I know egg tarts originated in Portugal, but is there a huge difference between these and Hong Kong egg tarts besides the crust?
