Air New Zealand DC10 was equipped with a terrain warning system, on the black box voice recorder you could hear the "woop woop pull up a few seconds before it hit Mt Erebus. So I duess it depends on how steep the mountain is.
The reason the plane flew straight into the mountain was the navigation system had been programmed wrong. An the visibilty was compromised by the cluds and reflections from the snow and ice.
BTW it was not an 'international' flight, it took off from Aucland and was schedules to land in Christchurch. (And its final resting place was still in New Zealand territory MT Erebus is in the Ross Dependency (the part of Antarctica claimed by NZ)
They not only have better magazines, they have better weapons in general. For example the FN P90 has 50 rounds in its magazine, and its out of the way on the stock.

"So they have no access in or out of the building during a snow storm. Whoops."
Global warming will take care of that. We have hardly had more than a couple of inches so far this winter. (I live a couple hundred miles up I94 from the cities.)
Heres a question to ask the Republican candidates for President:
If elected will you repeal Moore's Law?
(Unfortunately Herman Caine is no longer in the race, because he would probably repeal Cole's Law (after all thats served with KFC, not Godfathers pizza)
"It's the same fallacy at work when someone gets into an accident and survives. They are counted as being lucky to survive, when the person was in fact extremely unlucky to be in an accident in the first place."
In this case yes, since the accident has nothing to do with what he was doing at the time (as opposed to most auto accidents where the fault lies with the driver (distracted or under the influence etc)
I know Siberia is a big place, but how far was this from Tunguska?

"Does the new suit recycle urine into drinking water,"
Yeah, that could be very useful for other environments than space, such as when global warming turns the earth into a desert.
