  1. I don't think that any modern Christian missionaries are attempting to change any national "fabrics" but they might expect to convert a limited amount of individuals.
  2. Maybe a "proper procedural course of action" does not exist for the problems(s) encountered?? I didn't bring up dual engine failure, although it is possible that both of them were affected.
  3. Power might be instantly available but electrical power to the hydraulics takes time to take effect and operation is slow. Suggest you have another look at this VDO from Denys - also with reference to the APU.
  4. Well whatever the colour of the fish may be, there would have been time needed to reconfigure - it looks like they didn't have that.
  5. The APU has limited use in the air. But as Denys said in his VDO, it takes some time to run up and some reconfiguration would be required. It looks like, for whatever reason, the pilots had little or no time for this, unfortunately.
  6. Yes. The localizer looked standard but the reinforced concrete berm was not, at least in most countries. Most civil airports in the ROK are also intended to be suitable for joint military use but not sure if that is meaningful in this case.
  7. In the 737 accumulators only serve the braking system and can still work in the case of main hydraulic system failure. If the gear is up then no wheel brakes available anyway.
  8. You mean your list of guesswork?
  9. This "geek" is obviously as clueless as you are.
  10. So the gear, engines, flaps were all available then. No comparison.
  11. Thanks, I just watched this. A lot more information there and to come, I think. The flight radar 24 tracking stops close to the airport and so, is incomplete. Denys is right, it looks like the plane eventually tried runway 19, after initially descending towards R01 - then the tracking data stopped - the sun was rising on the left side of the plane (east), suggesting R19. So, something happened in the meantime. The weather looks fine. The reinforced barrier and foundation for the localizer is definitely OTT - I can only assume that this might be due to military reasons?
  12. That sounds more plausible. One of the VDOs shows at least one probable bird strike and, if there were two, then all thrust is lost, also probably meaning no power to get the gear down. No time for anything but to try to get the aircraft on the ground, which actually touched down quite well under the circumstances, but unfortunately with no controlled way to brake. The runway there is easily long enough for 737's landing normally. Fuel system likely damaged then leaking on the runway before the large impact and sparks caused the explosion. Fatalities high - not sure if there will be any survivors? RIP all of you.
  13. Maybe, but he doesn't seem worried about losing his own people.
  14. Good for you. But the main markets are not comprised of just two stocks.
  15. Markets are topping and the Dow is down. Less to do with Trump and more to do with 16 years of M2 printing and mostly low rates.
  16. Here's a few. Merry Christmas: Umayyad caliphate (661–750) Spanish Umayyads (756–1031) Almoravids and Almohads (about 1062–1147; 1130–1269) Nasrids (1232–1492) Ottoman empire (1299–1923)

  18. Nah. Joe's just planning a raid on the inaugural ice cream station.
  19. They were invading half the world long before the west had any real power. Stop talking cobblers.
