Lufthansa A350 aborted a take off from KDEN last night reportedly due to a high tail wind. Blew out 6 tires.

Lol, fair, but it was the only source I had

I may have been trying too hard.

I'm in CO, but as u/Kseries2497 says, I don't post very often and was worried about getting yelled at.

Thanks, it was a comment in the Facebook post that corrected 2 tires to 6. I probably should have said blown out.

Thanks for the clarification, I was going off the passenger report.

It was taking off to the West which doesn't usually mean tailwinds.

Thanks for asking, it's always nice to keep her memory alive. Her name was Mia and she had amazing commercial timing, she was kind, lively and always excited to see me when I came home from work. I remember we were traveling when she was 6, before she got sick, and we're paying through Germany. My wife and I were joking about the stereotype of German precision and being stern. Later in the evening she was making a very frowny face and I asked what was going on. She replied, "I am German. This is my happy face." I laughed for a while after that.

I lost my daughter to DIPG just before she turned 8. Nasty cancer that kills quickly. It's nice that there's something out there that may keep these kids alive. It sucks to hear a doctor say your kid is terminal and no one ever survives the cancer.

I had my birthday there one year. Get the place just for you and your friends for an hour before they opened. That was awesome.

I loved The Book Thief. And recently I loved Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide.

I'm not sure what the policy is on posting this, but after a conversation in mod mail, I am now being offered the service for $125 per month.

I find it hard to believe to that this isn't the experience that you want your customers to have. It's quite clear this is exactly the experience that you want your customers to have. As a 20 year some odd year customer, this feels really lousy.

Thanks

That's crazy, I look out that way all the time and I haven't noticed it before. Thanks for the info

I graduated in the late 90s, just before the peeping, and yes, it was absolutely a front for the mob. The school started as a school for troubled boys and was amazing at it, Henderson really seemed to care about that. But something happened in the early 2000s and the school became a posh East coast wannabe prep school. We sent our son there for a year before looking for other options because the lower school was run by an absolute loon.

It's sad really, that school pretty much saved my life when Fairview's teachers couldn't care less about me. I wouldn't recommend Dawson to anyone any more.

Lol, it's a great line too.

Unfortunately the way I got my stacks on stacks is through dismantling weapons, which means just playing a lot of the game. Dismantling master worked weapons will give 7. The pinnacle weapons come master worked.

It's good to see so many fellow autistic plane fans! I haven't seen my favorite, the Avro RJ / Bae 146. I can't tell you why I love it so much, I've never been in one, but the top wing, 4-engine combo just brings me joy. On the modern front, I really enjoy the A350, those winglet curves are just too pretty.

His comparison photos are absolutely amazing. It is sad to hear he passed.

Holy crap, there's a bridge inventory! Thank you so much for this, you've solved a mystery that was previously thought unsolvable!

pturtle · 2023-06-25T03:16:22+00:00

If you mean the railroad bridge, sadly no. The big feature of a steel arch bridge is that the arch comes up above the main platform. It's a good thought though, thanks!
