Most small, single-engine aircraft do not have retractable landing gear.

Tom and Blake immediately jumped into the water when their friends were in position to record them.

She would have been fine if she let go from the hanging position, as long as she didn't do something stupid like lock her knees straight. Based on the height her feet were at when she got back on the ladder, and assuming a standard ladder's maximum rung spacing, she was about 4.5ft from the ground.

Chronic wasting disease? One of the symptoms is loss of fear of humans.

Why does the moonroof keep switching from open to closed between cuts?

The wings can be removed and they can use a flat bed tow truck. Depending on what was wrong with the plane, if it can be fixed and it's safe to do so, they can close the road and it can be flown out.

During my flight training, I was always taught that a highway or paved road was the last place to land in an emergency. For one, power lines tend to cross paved roads and by the time you can see them, it's too late to avoid them. Another is that it endangers others on the ground. Many pilots lose their lives trying to save the plane in an emergency. The best advice I got during my training was that when the plane quits on you, it's now your life boat. Use it to save your life, don't risk yours to save it.

During my flight training I also worked at a small GA airport. I got to know a lot of the pilots there. One owned a construction company and would often fly over his construction sites to survey them from the air. He came out that morning, I filled up his plane and he never returned. I didn't think much of it, although he rented a hangar from us, he also had a private air strip too.

A few days later, I found out that he was killed making an emergency landing. While flying over the construction site, his engine quit and he tried to land on a road. A car pulled out from a side street and he pulled up to avoid it. The landing gear snagged a power line, which caused it to nose dive into the ground and rupture the fuel tanks. It caught fire, and people tried to get to him to pull him out. They said he appeared to be alive and trying to get out, but the fire spread too fast.

The way I found out was a bit shocking. Investigators from the NTSB showed up to review our fuel and maintenance logs. We have to perform daily tests on the fuel and equipment, and I was the one that did those tests the day he was killed. It wasn't the fuel that caused the engine to quit, but that thought that maybe I screwed up the test and caused it and knowing he probably burned alive haunted me. That's something I'll never forget.

I'm wondering why he was parked in a disabled parking space. He does say he has disabled veteran tags, but if he just graduated from the police academy, he's not disabled. Even with a disabled parking tag, it is still illegal to park in a disabled spot unless a disabled person is in the vehicle.

I like the Technology Connections video better.

I had something similar happen, except the piece of metal came through the windshield and impaled itself in the center console. If I didn't swerve left when I saw it coming...

If you can't Dodge it, Ram it.

That honestly went better than I expected.
