Helicopter Rescue Accident

SFOGuy says...

Thanks for those insights---so, is NOTAR a bit less efficient in transferring power (ran out of horsepower to correct the yaw because of that?)

Or do you think it was just the gust was so large (the turbulence at a crest could have been ferocious) that it wouldn't have matter what model helicopter or whether it had NOTAR or a regular tail rotor--it simply would have been overmastered?

It has a fan driven by the main gearbox. It's pretty rare for those to fail, but does spin like it lost control of yaw though. My first thought was since it's landing so close to the edge of that cliff, if the wind is moving from the right to left, there is going to be a big updraft coming over the cliff.

Watching it again, it looks like the pilot is having to fight some wind and seems to be having trouble keeping it down. Between 40-45 seconds, it looks like the wind changes as the helicopter appears to lift up and weather-vane into the wind just before losing control.

I found this video which is in German. If the Google auto-translate isn't too off, it says the cause is still unknown, but whoever they're interviewing at the end speculates that the helicopter was too heavy for the altitude it was operating at.

SPD (Germany): 23%
PSOE (Spain) : 22.6%
SPÖ (Austria): 26%
PS (France): 10%
PvdA (Netherlnds): 5.7%

Those are just some of the latest election/polling results of social-democratic parties in continental Europe. Corbyn's Labour came in at 40.1%. Yet somehow, Corbyn (and Sanders) is painted as the destroyer of his party's electability.

Watch all the trolls come out of the woodworks again, after claiming for months and months that Corbyn would be the ruin of Labour. And keep track of all the hacks who will still maintain that neoliberal party apparatchiks are the only option to win elections. The mental gymnastics will be hilarious, and the smear campaigns against Corbyn will be even more ferocious. They cannot let anyone challenge the neoliberal consensus and get away with it.

Er.. massive skill, but from what I saw some of his pieces are really awful conceptually. Craft fair stuff. Then others were very good. I wonder if it's commissioned ("I want a wolf, howling at the moon, with a big ferocious eagle spreading her wings above...").

The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America

JiggaJonson says...

*lies
So much of this is simply factually incorrect or misleading.
I'll link sources above my information

http://www.historyliteracy.org/download/Sears2.pdf
First of all, in 1910, the school year was only 99 days in length. Only half of eligible students attended, and only 8% graduated from high school.

Furthermore, in 1910, only 35% of 17 year olds were in high school.

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/08/12/ready-or-not-77-million-kids-and-adults-heading-back-to-school-soon/
Compare that to today, where nearly 100% of young people attend high school and OF COURSE it's going to cost more. DURR!

Meanwhile, even though spending has gone up by an absolute number, the percentage of GDP from the federal and state governments has remained steady at 2% or LESS, with rising costs from local spending, in part, because of an increased privatization of schools.

Oi vey, and they rallying against FLUORIDE??? Seriously?
http://www.tampabay.com/news/localgovernment/dewitt-more-ferocious-fallacies-about-fluoride/2139759
"high rates of exposure were very high indeed — up to 11.5 parts per million. And many of the other highly exposed groups were drinking water with more than 3 parts per million of fluoride.

That's more than four times the concentration used to protect teeth: 0.7 parts per million.

And that, by the way, is the same or lower than the level in the water supply of some "low exposure" groups in the studies. In other words, the standard fluoridation level in this country was presented in some of these studies as an amount that allowed kids' IQs to flourish."

Stop fear mongering. Get some science.

Angry Beaver

Mobius says...

It is a developer,a builder that holds family dear. A genius with a big flat tail. The majestic Beaver is the perfect being to use as a Canadian Symbol. Not only is it a hardy survivor of the winter elements but also ferocious and offensive when times call for it.

The Beaver in all its hairy wonder, is nothing to be ashamed of.

As a Canadian I was always a little ashamed that we chose a beaver as one of our national symbols, while America chose an eagle. If beaver's frequently attack and chase off Russians all day, I may have to reconsider.

Bill Maher Calls BS On Tom Brokaw

PostalBlowfish says...

Reid did do that, but everyone who reported it (hell, even Reid himself) pointed out that he had no proof to back up his claim. This might be a good example of what Cenk is talking about. Reid took ferocious attacks from the cable media and in particular Fox News.

Romney, not really. The worst it's been (as far as I can tell) is some people on MSNBC pointing out that he's lying, and showing how the facts show he's lying. It's probably balanced by FNC replaying and repeating it as if it's the truth, right after they manipulate the available statistics to try and make a dishonest case for how the President handled the economy.
