Amazing pic, C16. Where were the two boats in the pic?

Being a little slow on the uptake I have only just discovered that AdBlock now has a blocker for YouTube on Firefox and Chrome. Clicking 'skip' repeatedly was becoming tiresome

Re: USS Nimitz
I reckon Nimitz must be by far the easiest boat to throw an aircraft at! Back in the 70s I went on board off Spithead win a group - the sea was very rough and a lot of our folk were sick on the way out to her. Got on the boarding gangway and it was like stepping onto dry land. I stood at one end of ...

That picture is obviously a fake since we all know that the king is dead - it was on all the Russian channels.

Re: SpaceX
The awaited report from SpaceX should be very interesting. One would hope that the apparent failure to sustain ignition on the B and the loss of attitude control on the SS should be relatively simple to cure.

Re: NHS privatisation
What a co-incidence - the guy - Frank Hester - who had made the largest donation to Tory funds ever - just happens to run a software company which has the contract to provide computer services to the NHS, holding most peoples' records. It is called TPP. Unless you 'opted out' a while back, your medi...

For penny-pinching UK readers
You may want to check your bills. My local council has issued the Council Tax bill for 2024/5. In it they show the percentage increase on last year’s precepts for various items. Two items are of interest: The precept for Adult Social Care is shown as an increase of “2%”’ on last year. The actual inc...

Well, if they did the paperwork would have blown out once the panel came off, wouldn't it, so they unfortunately could not produce it.

A big undertaking
The gruesome discoveries at the undertakers in Hull (UK) where 35 bodies appear to have been 'mishandled' has caused great understandable distress amongst the families. It does, of course, beg the worrying question - which bodies were actually being 'disposed' of? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...

Re: LATAM flight LA800 accident
That is a far more likely explanation for the violent manoeuvre, but the discrepancy between the Captain's comments and his event remains, as Ex-A says and is important and cannot be ignored.

Re: LATAM flight LA800 accident
Doesn't really add much except 'Juan exposure' to this incident. The reported loss of all instrument panel data/electrics remains unexplained and if true is crucial.
