  1. NTSB says based on video they have the pylon was still attached to wing after the engine came off. That means it’s a different failure scenario than AA 191. They've asked for maintenance records from ST Aviation in San Antonio where the airplane had its last heavy check (and therefore where the engines would have been removed). They also said the takeoff roll was normal until 37 seconds into it when a persistent bell started going off on CVR. The bell lasted for the remaining 25 seconds of the flight. They did not say this but per Google an engine fire will trigger a warning bell. On these older airplanes there is a fire loop which is essentially a metallic circuit that melts and breaks the circuit when there is a fire (and is the source of a lot of nuisance alarms.) interesting to see from wreckage if the fire handle was pulled although it probably wouldn’t have mattered since there wasn’t enough airspeed to recover and the fire bottles would be on the runway
  2. I can’t believe the money at Cal got that way by being that dumb
  3. “They are AI generated”
  4. As far as antennas, I've had good luck with the ones imbedded in a rectangular plastic sheet, with their own power plug. They are 30 bucks. The plug and antenna coax go into a little pre-amplifier that then goes to the TV coax. One of those should get KVUE and other Austin stations from there with no problem. Put the plastic sheet as high as possible and try different orientations.
  5. Career BTA Heide 45% Pope 37% Weaver 35% Mark 33% Wilcher 32%
  6. Engine falling off is exceedingly rare. Single digit number of times in modern commercial aviation history. Even this model engine has had multiple instances of fan blade failure and cowlings coming off without engine departing. More to the story.
  7. Here are some things I believe. No evidence or data provided. Georgia is the best team in CFB. I put their odds at winning everything at 40/60. Iowa will beat Oregon The ACC is underrated. They might not have the linemen that the big 2 have, they absolutely have the skill people and QBs. The Big 12 is the weakest of the 4.
  8. Here's an interesting stat. Through the same number of career attempts (363), Arch has a higher completion percentage (64%) than Quinn did (59%). And yes, I know there was a lot of complaining about Quinn's accuracy too. Complaining: it's what we do.
  9. I feel old. I used to listen to Summerall’s grandfather announce football games.
  10. That’s hyperbole but they are being exposed. Scratch them off.
  11. Did you not see him slicing up GA secondary?
  12. Well the ESPN predictor says they are 41%. Let’s say they are too optimistic by 2X. That’s not “vanishingly”
  13. This is what it’s like having a TE who can block
  14. This game was lost by that utterly moronic play call on 4th and 2. Run where they ain’t.
  15. Kick the ball
  16. There’s no conclusive evidence it didn’t hit the ground. It should be upheld.
  17. If the secondary is going to be exposed to the level of outright embarrassment, it might as well be in a win. It’s clear we cannot play zone defense. That has to be improved or we will lose out because it’s all on film now.
  18. Vanderbilt wins this game easily if they come out laying hurry up and throwing it from the kickoff.
  19. Blocked, ignored
  20. Call fucking holding you dumb shit fuckers
  21. We need to allocate portal dollars like this in the spring DB - 50% RB- 15% OL - 25% Everything else - 10%
  22. I think the Akina experiment needs to end
  23. So you believe that OPI earlier means it’s ok to do DPI later? Ok.
  24. Not a catch but he’s still a badass
