New Supersonic Jet Test Less Than Successful

Posted by michael on from the seat-cushion-can-be-used-as-a-flotation-device dept.

saberwolf writes "The BBC is reporting in this story that the first test of Japan's supersonic jet didn't go quite as planned when it crashed into the ground seconds after takeoff on its test rig. It looks like a successor to the world's only supersonic passenger jet, Concorde (built jointly by the British and French in the 1960s) is still some way off." Reuters has more pictures.

  1. [klerck] Sheep Shit! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    Hey, I remember one time out on the ranch I was with my brother and I decided to pull a trick on my brother. I took two thick, dense cords of sheep feces and put it in a bowl. I gave to my brother and told him it was chocolate pudding.

    He began to eat the sheep feces. In fact, HE FINISHED EVERY LAST BIT! My brother ate sheep shit!!!

    But the funny thing is, I don't even have a brother! It was me! I ATE SHEEP SHIT!!!

    Volkswagen Beatle.

    "Ein Reich, ein Volk, ein Führer." Volkswagen. The People's Car.

    when a car is still manufactured ~60 years (in latin america) after design.

    ... by HITLER (to his specifications anyway)

    than that is, in my biassed opinion, good engineering design == real beauty.

    Yes, a shining example of Aryan superior engineering and beauty.

    The Yellow man will never surpass the white man in technological achievements. The White Man has lifted man to the stars. The Yellow man can make a transistor radio.

    Whoop de fucking doo.

    The Yellow man has stolen all of its technology from the White man. The Yellow man does not know how to come up with new ideas. THey skulk around in the shadows and wait for the White man. Then their slanty, gooky eyes steal what the White man has created.

    May many more Yellow "inventions" blow up in their gooky, slanty eyed faces.

    Such is the wish and command of the White man.
