Vince always wins!

I think its a bit of a thrill seeker thing. My buddy wouldnt go near the edge either but took video of me playing around near the edge and I got scolded by his mom when she saw it! lol

Thank you for coming! Glad you had a good time. I was actually very impressed with how many people stayed. That was a really great crowd (loud, enthusiastic). Don was great!

Bingo!

Did I read the street party admission is included with a season ticket playoff purchase? Wont that be the whole 15,000 or is this an additional 15,000? Its a great idea to control numbers and benefit charity. Soon the city will complain of the costs...of a charity initiative. 😉

Excellent visual. I watched a video with a 737 pilot over the weekend and he was pretty supportive of Boeing, or at least supportive of the 737's in general. He noted that MCAS is just like numerous other systems where the computer assist the flight. His major point was the absurd decision by Boeing to only use data from one AoA sensor when the plane has two anyway. He thought that change will make the plane the safest in the sky. He also defended Boeing when it came to the up charge for the safety extras. He said the AOA display was not something pilots would use regular as it was small and difficult to read and didnt really give them useful information but the AOA disagree warning would be valuable. That will now be standard. I think the big take away from the crashes will be a system that was needed and helpful but not designed well enough (one sensor vs two) and more importantly, a lack of training. Countering bad MCAS is pretty easy. But if you have no clue how it works or how to counter it and you have to read through manuals while the emergency is happening, especially when it happens while the plane is close to the ground, you just dont have enough time. It reminds me of a Mayday episode I saw about Payne Stewart's plane crash. There was a faulty engine air valve and the plane did not pressurize so as it climbed, the oxygen in the cabin decreased and everyone passed out including the pilots. They believe the pilots got an error warning but the procedure was to go through a checklist to trouble shoot it before the final step of "put on oxygen masks". They realized that the pilots only had a few seconds of usable oxygen so the first step should have been "put on oxygen masks". The comparison being, working a checklist only works if you have time. If you dont, you better instinctively know how to correct the issue. Safe to say every pilot on the planet will know how to beat MCAS now.

I find its such a massive drop it almost doesnt seem right. Like, Im not sure people appreciate it because of how big it is. I sat on an outcrop with my feet hanging over. Stood near the edge with my back to the canyon to get a high selfie showing the fall. I mean, yeah, stupid as **** if you fall, but a heck of a photo if you dont!

Those of you that made it out tonight, thank you! I hope you enjoyed yourself. You saw history made! Don Callis comes it of retirement and pins Kenny Omega! Lots of fun!

When I visited the Grand Canyon I was amazed how unprotected it is. But it keeps it natural. I have a few pics and videos of myself dangling stupidly over the edge too.

James Wilder Jr., a running back who was part of Florida State's national championship team years ago, has a WWE tryout upcoming. Wilder Jr. is currently a running back with the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.

If true thats definitely a point in favour of Mueller not being biased because the visual (or just report) of a Pres pleading the 5th would have been horrible for Trump. There is speculation that the report DOES contain evidence of obstruction (and collusion but by the definition of the conspiracy, not enough to charge). Mueller's intent, some believe, was to create a report that Congress would be able to get and let them impeach (or decide). I guess there's no way of knowing...well, unless they just release the damn report.

What a terrible look for Trump. If the only concern is grand jury info, it can be unsealed. They're hiding. I mean, if the report was an exoneration, they'd be giving 5 copies to every man, woman and child.

The hate is strong

True. Adding a system to guard against that without telling the pilots....yikes. But...I love Mayday and I am convinced I could land a plane in a pinch lol And if ever my flight would be in trouble, I'd call for the attendant and ask her to suggest to the pilots they're probably stalling. Check that first! The big one was that Air France that crashed off of South America. In that case, both the Captain (who arrived late as he was on rest) and one of the co-pilots knew what to do (nose down to gain speed to prevent stall) but the more junior co-pilot who was initially in control and jittery already, was pulling back on his control stick to go nose up the entire time, thus, creating the stall in the first place. The unique design of the Airbus played a part as they do not have center console yokes (when you push/pull on one, the second one reacts as well). The Airbus uses a side stick which is basically a video game joystick. Because of their positioning, its difficult for one pilot to see what the other is doing on the stick and any action on one stick does not feedback on the other. So both pilots were applying opposite pressure to their sticks. By the time the junior pilot informed the others he was pulling back, which immediately caused the other co-pilot to explain "I have the controls" (which causes the other to release) and the Captain was screaming "no no no, dont pull up, nose down" it was too late. Anyway...the news that this latest crash very likely was MCAS...very bad news for Boeing.

Thats not really what I did. I pointed out the facts. But again, if I were you guys, I suppose I'd rather talk about MA than DT

I dont know, who's defending Avenatti? If I were a Trump-ite, I'd want to talk about Avenatti a lot more than Trump too. But its getting off topic. There was a post in random news about Avenatti's legal issues. Maybe go there if you want to continue discussing him since it has nothing to do with US politics at this point.
