I remember a similar kind of shooting incident when we were shooting on a range near Thetford UK, the range office called to stop firing and the one person pulled the slide back and cleared the gun then dropped the gun down below his waist and pressed the trigger, one bullet was still in the barrel and it entered the top of his leg severing an artery. The police came and interviewed the few people who had not already quickly left....

When we get aircons cleaned, my wife stays with them and watches them like a hawk, when they split up to clean the outside unit I will usually go with them to make sure they do it correctly. We also have cameras in every room and 14 cameras outside, call us suspicious or careful or what?

I forgot to mention the 1968 Gibson RB250 five string banjo and the two vintage Ibanez five string banjos I also own, seems like everything I own is vintage now including me 😀

Yep that was the place, cant remember what you were playing though

I have a vintage Martin D18 and a Vintage Guild Bluegrass D40 from around 1960 made in the original guild factory at Hoboken New Jersey as well as a collection of vintage Yamaha acoustic guitars. If you can remember that far back KannikaP I played the Martin with you one time in a jam 🙂

My copy of 8 did not play, DL again sill did not work, finally got one that is good but sadly Its turned into a romantic soap and on going arguments with ex wife, what started as a thriller has turned into filler.....

The aircraft suffered a bird strike and possibly had one engine out. Were the crew preoccupied with that event and maybe forget to lower the gear following the bird strike? (speculation) From the speed it could be they were trying to take off again. (speculation) There is a longer video on the ABC website it shows 13 seconds between touchdown and overrun. Runway length is 9186 feet. If they touched down at the 1000-foot marker they touched down late and were very fast and used all of the EMS (Engineered Materials Arresting System) before hitting the perimeter wall, average ground speed to over run could be as high as 208kt. A sliding aircraft on a concrete runway is not easy to slow down, they would have slowed quicker on the grass at the side of the runway.. Were slats and spoilers deployed in order to slow the plane down? Were thrust reverses deployed in order to slow the plane down

29. You will not discuss the specifics of prostitution. Although Thailand has a visible sex industry and acknowledgement of that fact is not forbidden, ASEAN NOW is not the place to seek or give information on this topic. ASEAN NOW seeks to protect children and other at risk groups from exploitation on the internet. Any content that appears to be inappropriate or exploitative will be removed. //CLOSED//

Off topic and replies removed, topic is not about Putin: Possibility of the Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190AR plane was shot down on the 25 Dec

On December 25, 2024, an Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190AR, operating as Flight 8243 from Baku to Grozny, crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, resulting in 38 fatalities and 29 survivors. Reuters The aircraft had diverted to Aktau due to fog in Grozny. Wikipedia Preliminary reports suggest the possibility that the plane was shot down by Russian air defenses after it deviated over an area with recent Ukrainian drone activity. The Wall Street Journal Aviation experts and a Ukrainian official have indicated that the wreckage assessments point towards this scenario. However, Azerbaijan Airlines has attributed the crash to either a bird collision or poor weather conditions. The exact cause remains under investigation. The crash highlights the broader regional conflict's impact on commercial aviation. The aircraft's flight path showed signs of control issues before crashing. Russian SA-22 systems, often used to counter drones, might have been involved. The incident has prompted an international investigation to determine the definitive cause of the crash. Given the ongoing investigation and the complexities involved, it is premature to conclusively determine whether the aircraft was shot down. Further analysis and official reports are necessary to establish the exact circumstances leading to this tragic event.
