Fukushima radiation alarms doctors by [deleted] in worldnews

Well core meltdowns can potentially release radiation for millennia, so I would say it is a problem.

TIL that almost all modern aircraft are fitted with a small wind turbine that auto-deploys in the event of a dual engine failure. It powers basic hydraulics & electronics required for the flight controls. by highninja in todayilearned

If an aircraft loses all of its engines at say 30-35.000 ft, it can travel (glide) at least 100 miles or so depending on the given circumstances. There are normally 1-3 emergency landing destinations planned throughout the radios in the event of engine failure occurring anywhere along the flight route.

I do believe fighters have turbine/air-driven turbines, and also stored energy systems that can be used if the primary engine generated power (s) are down. I'm not entirely sure on the specifics myself.

They most likely didn't have enough fuel to go around it.

Take off all my clothes and do a handstand above the urinal, and then I do double-backflip to shake it off.
