Orca Rams Dolphin Mid Air During Hunt
Sweet Christ -- they've learned to fly!! RUN!!
The flight that almost killed me
When I was 17, my dad took me to some cliffs south of San Francisco to learn how to hang glide. The class met at a cliff to watch experienced pilots take off before going to a practice slope. The first launch we watched took off, made a smooth arcing turn, and crashed at full speed directly into the vertical cliff about 150' high and fell. He broke both legs at the least, but survived at least long enough for the ambulance to get there.
Dad cancelled my class, I never learned to fly.
The flight that almost killed me
What I learned about flying from that...(Flying Magazine)--many, many terrifying near-miss moments.
Republicans in 2018 Post-Midterm Elections
I didn't come up with it. It was the conclusion of the 9/11 commission. If you disagree , your beef is with them.
I'm sorry you are so ill informed. Perhaps out might try being less dismissive and insulting about your ignorance....but likely not.
Apparently it wasn't enough time for him to grasp the seriousness. It was barely enough time to staff the NSA. They briefed him a few times, but the "Osama Bin Laden preparing to attack" report went unread or at best unheeded. Again, this is according to the bipartisan Senate commission set up to determine what actually happened.
Edit: Andy Card, Bush's chief of staff - “The 9/11 Commission had said if there had been a longer transition and there had been cooperation, there might have been a better response, or maybe not even any attack,” the former chief of staff said.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/11/former-bush-chief-of-staff-cites-9/11-warns-about-slow-transition.html
The 9/11 Commission Report noted:
"[T]he 36-day delay cut in half the normal transition period. Given that a presidential election in the United States brings wholesale change in personnel, this loss of time hampered the new administration in identifying, recruiting, clearing, and obtaining Senate confirmation of key appointees."
The point is that delaying these processes such as obtaining background checks can create significant later delays in putting new officials into place and in some cases obtaining Senate confirmations. Delays in the transference of information with the incoming team can also obstruct the next administration’s ability to carry out existing and new policies.
Perhaps you're unaware, the Bush administration, like others before it, did not have its full national security team on the job until at least six months after it took office.
Plans like watch for groups of middle eastern men who suddenly have funds to move to America, especially those who want to learn to fly, but not take off or land. Plans like track Bin Laden's money and deny people he funds from entering the country. Plans like focus on his communications to learn what his plans were. Plans like take him out before he attacks. There were many plans, I'm sure most were classified but many just common sense.
Really, you never heard the intelligence community makes plans to deal with threats?! They might not have been successful at stopping an attack, but at least could have tried.
Wow, thanks for the laugh. I thought I had heard every 9/11 theory out there. Apparently 6 months wasn't enough time to brief Bush on the Al Qaeda threat, because his schedule was still backed up from the inauguration. And the FBI and CIA were just too polite to intrude on his time clearing brush on the ranch with a vital national security situation. LOL!!!
Also, what were these "plans for Osama?" Haven't heard that one either.
Glider crashes into tree
Via: https://www.reddit.com/r/CatastrophicFailure/comments/b85jb3/glider_crash_in_poland/
Passenger (front seat) : 1 broken arm
Pilot (back seat) : minor injuries
The article they link however doesn't list injuries: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6863975/Terrifying-moment-glider-clips-tree-nosedives-ground.html
Now, while I'd love to learn to fly a glider (beyond money, the best place "locally" is Caesar Creek Soaring Club, which is about 3 1/2 hours from me), and I might be out of my element here... it looks like he was going way too fast on his approach. Not sure what the situation was that caused him to come in that fast.
Also looks like he should have went down from the field a bit further, then turned to it, as it seems like he still had enough height left to go another few hundred yards down, turn around, and get lined up.
The video doesn't show if he had the wing spoilers deployed or not. Now I know some say don't deploy spoilers on the turn (though this guy seems to debunk that to some degree https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC-Yqp-uHo0), so he'd have had to make the turn, then deploy at the last second... again getting to the fact the turn to the landing strip was made too early.
Again, I'm probably out of my element here, but I'd think, had he waited to make the turn to the landing strop, lined up, then deployed the wing spoilers, he'd have been able to bring her down a bit easier... of course he'd probably still have too much speed. That's what I want to know, where was the speed coming from, did he bring her down super fast, was he or the passenger on a time crunch?

A Dumbfuck George W Moment You Haven't Heard Yet
"he didn't do many dumb things" this is highly debatable. Iraq, for starters. Decreasing taxes on the top 3 tax brackets was stupid. He did a lot of stupid things while on travel. Yeah, I think even most conservatives would say bush did a lot of dumb stuff.

Bush said a lot of dumb things but he didn't do many dumb things.
Try learning to fly an F-102 without getting yourself killed.

"Didn't do many dumb things." You mean like:
1. Stopped showing up to work as an F-102 pilot?
2. Dropping the US out of the ABM treaty
3. Ensuring the US would not join the International Criminal Court
4. Allowing Cheney to hire himself
5. Invading Iraq
6. Pardoning Skippy
7. Ignored memo indicating bin Laden was determined to attack the US and stayed on his vacation instead
That's just from memory
And in all fairness, he did somethings ok:
1. Handled the plane incident with China in spring 2001 ok and the crew were returned ok.
2. Vacationed like a boss
