Cessna Tries to Take-off From Road.
ntsb report: http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief2.asp?ev_id=20051130X01914&ntsbno=DFW06CA016&akey=1
The 794-hour private pilot made an uneventful emergency landing on a public highway following a loss of engine power due to fuel starvation. Several attempts were made by the pilot to have the aircraft placed on a flatbed trailer and recovered to a suitable airport; however, the width of the trailer available for recovery was too narrow to accommodate the airplane's main landing gear. After several failed attempts to recover the airplane by ground, the pilot elected to fill the fuel tanks with 15 gallons of fuel and, in coordination with local law enforcement, attempt to takeoff from the private highway. Vehicular traffic was stopped in preparation of the airplane's takeoff from the highway. During the takeoff roll from the highway, the airplane's right wing collided with a side mirror of an 18-wheel truck and then struck the rear of an emergency vehicle. The collision with the vehicles made the airplane turn sharply to the right into a ditch, subsequently impacting trees.
Mercedes-Benz S600 Guard: The Ultimate Armored Limousine
Review from Autospies.com:
Celebrities, dignitaries, and the obsessively paranoid now have a new cocoon in which to wrap themselves as they travel from place to place. For them, the Mercedes-Benz S600 Guard melds V12 power and Mercedes' luxurious, quiet accommodations with the sense of security only an armored vehicle can provide.
Like the other Guard models (E and G-Class rides are also available) the S-Guard is built on its own assembly line, which lets Mercedes armor up the car as part of the original production process. As a result, they're able to build in the protective features better than any aftermarket program and still tune the car so that it doesn't lose much (if anything) in terms of handling and comfort. The 517-horsepower V12 underhood is more than capable of providing adequate thrust.
If the vehicle comes under threat, it's B6/B7 armor level is enough to stop standard military-grade small-arms fire (such as 7.62mm and 5.56mm rounds), protect against grenade shrapnel and offer protection against other explosive devices. Run-flat tires, a self-sealing fuel-tank, and an integrated fire-extinguishing system round out the Guard package. Despite all the reinforcements, the S600 Guard is visually indistinguishable from the garden-variety V12 S-Class.
Bugatti Veyron - Unveiling - Top Gear
i always loved stats like this : at full throttle, the Veyron would empty its 100 L fuel tank in just 12.5 minutes.
Top Gear - Clay Car Shooting
On the 2nd one, the odds of him accually hitting the fuel tank with a tracer round from the machine gun, causing it to ignite are VERY VERY slim. That was definetly VFX.
Space Shuttle Atlantis Launch STS-115 (9/9/2006)
If you drag the video marker across slowly in the second half of the video, you really get a sence of the shuttles progression into orbit. And the last shot of the main fuel tank falling away is just the clincher.
Chrysler Tomahawk V10 Viper Powered. Motorcycle
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
So a Dodge Viper engine with a motorcycle fuel tank. That might get you around the block a couple of times.
New Govt Released Pentagon 9/11 Video
There are many things to consider. The structure of the pentagon is designed to withstand terrorist attacks, which would mean that there would be little damage, and the plane would have been shredded.
As for the wings, the main fuel tanks are there, and looking at the explosion and the subsequent fire that followed, most of this, if all of it would have been burned.
Sbchapm has a very good point as on all of the 9/11 programmes i have seen, there have been no interviews with friens or relatives from the pentagon crash.
Also, you have to consider why the video that would supply any evidence was confiscated.
