I hadn’t seen that news, thanks for posting. It’s not just the age of the carbon fiber but also the grade, the layer pattern, the resin, the curing, the exclusion of voids and a host of other ‘technology application’ issues. I have two ‘high end’ carbon fiber racing bikes, their price premium is almost entirely down to the costs of the carbon fiber grade and its application. They both came with extensive NDT certification. Chinese copies are available, but frequently suffer catastrophic failure. But even reputable manufacturers sometimes get it wrong, collapsing frames and snapped handlebars occurred multiple times in last years ‘Grand Tours’. Carbon fiber, like all materials is only fit for service if correctly specified and applied. There’s reference in this thread to Rush’s clear failure to understand the materials he was applying and the methods of application. RIP his victims.

I wouldn’t mind betting all 84 witnesses are Republicans or former members of Trump’s Republican Administration.

He didn’t do this openly, he concealed it. Refer link in my post above.

Maybe. Maybe it’s an intentional leak to try to get ahead of bad news by spinning it as an exoneration.

It implies nothing of the sort. It does imply Hunter Biden was trying to give the impression he was sitting with his father, but he’s not the first kid to say ‘I’m going to tell my Dad’.

I wasn’t referring to the recording being given to the FBI, rather it also being given to the press.

I wonder who leaked that and why?

Those particular cameras perhaps. But by no means all.

Regardless. 84 witnesses!

Not unless you are a mind reader it doesn’t

The facts of Rush’s disregard for and ignoring of safety and regulations is a matter of court record. He fired his safety advisor for doing his job and warning of safety concerns. I had absolutely no idea he was at all linked to the Republican Party, though it doesn’t surprise me given his disregard for safety and regulation. Perhaps this explains why right wingers are defending him. Waivers do not indemnify operators against gross dereliction of safety/gross negligence. Example below, you’ll find similar in almost all jurisdictions: https://www.southfloridainjurylawyerblog.com/amp/liability-for-gross-negligence-cant-be-waived-in-release-form/

There was no innovation. Without knowledge of the gross dereliction of safety and regulation how could the passengers ‘know the risk’? Stockton Rush’s death has saved him from spending the rest of his days in court and a spell in the slammer. Tge good news, heMll not be killing anyone else with his recklessness.

How do you know that? Perhaps it’s something beyond her imagination and limited experience of only ever presided over 4 previous cases. She has a sterling history of being overturned by the appellate court and clear conflicts of interest, she should recuse herself or be recused.

What innovation? Mini-subs already exist, the technology to build mini subs already exists. I very much doubt the passengers knew the risks, though we do know from court records that Stockton Rush was informed of the risk, chose to ignore the risks and fired the guy who was warning him of the risks. RIP his victims.

“The House Weaponization Subcommittee” That’s either Nominative determinism or someone was trying to let the cat out of the bag. How could it be otherwise with Gym Jordan in charge?! Issue subpoenas Gym, and expect the recipients to show up, you clown.

Like the technology of submarines, the technology of flight is well understood. Engineers and Designers know how to make safe aircraft, just like other Engineers and Designers know how to make safe subs. This wasn’t some daring leap into an unknown sphere of human endeavor, it was sheer idiocy, arrogance and hubris.

Without safety and regulations, aircraft wouldn’t be reaching Thailand. But thank you for bringing up air transport, one of the most regulated and safest forms of transport; regulations that came about as a direct result of ‘suck it and see’ accidents killing people. The idiot behind this accident wasn’t ‘innovating’ he was ignoring the safety and fired the guy who warned him of the safety problems.

So the people who said Trump will never be indicted have now switched to Trump will never be convicted. Up next, Trump will never be sentenced.

Rather a theme of our age, cutting regulation/safety v innovation. Keep these events in mind next time the subject comes up.

I see you are not disputing my argument that climate change will increase migration.

It’s a forecast, with no reference to where you dragged it out of. Oh and I see your Greta fixation got the better of you.

Ah, so you don’t understand how climate change might impact the supply of food for populations of any size.

Oh look another one of those accusation confession things.

It’s not simply a matter of mortgage defaults, while inevitably bringing with them misery, a bigger threat to the economy is contraction in business investment, undermining growth and adding to the already high SME failures. Non of which will help the underlying causes of UK inflation, supply side deficiencies. It will also worsen the UK economy’s already poor productivity. What a mess.
