These engines are jacketed in a kevlar or fiberglass honeycomb composite designed to absorb the energy of a blade-off event and protect the aircraft as well as the passengers inside from fragments. Over time kevlar degrades and I would assume that there is a maintenance change out for the ballistic jacket of these engines.
See here for video of the damaged engine. Note that the front of the ballistic honeycomb (two green layers with a metal layer in between) has been shattered. (NTSB video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
If you want to see what it should look like during and after a blade off event, check out this video: (A380 blade off test) https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
The airlines have been pushed for decades towards lower and lower prices, but sometimes it is better to spend some extra money on safety inspections and maintenance overhauls.
In my opinion, unless violation of rules or gross negligence by a specific employee or employees can be shown, C level executives and the board of directors for all corporations should be personally and if appropriate criminally liable for the actions, accidents and/or criminal actions of the companies that they run.
If this turns out to be a maintenance shortage or an improperly stored replacement cowling or a blade with a known problem that wasn't pulled due to either short spares or flight schedule, someone should go to prison for negligent homicide.
OK, lets assume you wasted 1 minute on average per person robocalled, so you get to go to prison for every minute you illegally stole from some innocent victim. What does that add up to? 184.5 years... enjoy your stay.
But hasn't M$ (and others) been telling us for years that the license is irrevocably tied to the hardware? Doesn't Windows 7 and above explicitly say it is tied to identifiers in the CPU, MOBO etc?
The dirty truth is they just want as much money as they can possibly get, any way they can get it. They have made the saying "digital no rights" a defacto truth. And nothing will change as long as we keep electing politicians more interested in lobbyist dollars than representing their constituent's interests. The Democrats held super-majorities in both houses and the presidency from 2008 for two years and did nothing. Sad.
Your statement is predicated on the false dichotomy that the airport can only exist if the government subsidizes it. There is another option, that is it is run for profit by a private company, just like everything else, and the state still collects all those taxes from the hotel, restaurant and sales taxes created by having an airport.
Your personal attacks reveal your weak position, nothing more or less.
He said he would unleash the economy, cut taxes, and enforce the laws on the books. Those have already happened.
Time will tell, but when the president is trying to do good (like rebuilding neglected infrastructure) while not sinking us further into debt by leveraging the private sector investment, every citizen should give him the benefit of the doubt. History will be the judge, but based on the last year of history, Obama was a dirty Chicago politician buffoon with no clue how economics worked who racked up 8 trillion in debt and tanked the economy for 8 years. That is just reality. Obama tried to blame Bush for all his failures, but I doubt history will be so kind.
Trump so far has revitalized the economy, and is rapidly adding jobs. We will see where we are after 7 more years, but I suspect that it will be a stark contrast, with Trump being revealed as a conservative populist who loves his country and is trying to do right by it's citizens and the Dim politicians being criminals and bold face liars. You know, Democrats, the party of slavery, Jim Crow, massive corruption, and now putting illegal aliens "rights" ahead of US citizens safety and wages towards Democrat political future power.
lets you get good products like your smartphone and good customer service, at least where there is competition and where you have the right to sue if you have an unresolved issue
When I think of good products and good customer service, I naturally think of airlines!
It still exists, but you have to pay for it. If you fly bargain basement economy, then you get what you pay for, which is as low a price as the airline can manage. Try flying first class if you want customer service.
It is almost comical how our society now takes for granted being able to buy a round trip ticket for under $100, jump on a plane and be hurtled to your destination at 400mph, arrive safely, do business and then take the return flight that evening. Our grandparents spent 3 months salary to take a flight and this kind of travel was unimaginable by our great grandparents.
You are overlooking that ever square inch of soil within the borders of the US is still subject to Federal and state laws. Thus, the Fed has no reason to own airports to "have a say" in how they are run. All they have to do is pass a law and the airport operators must comply or go to jail, no financial strings required, just like every other citizen and business run in the US.
We have yet to see the implementation, but I fully expect that since the goal is revitalization and rebuilding, that within the contract to sell the airports will be maintenance and expansion requirements, so the new owners will not be able to "turn a quick profit and cash out."
You are automatically ascribing incompetence and ill intent where neither has yet been evidenced.
As you clearly indicate, no solution in this imperfect world is perfect, and politics can certainly jump in to screw things up. Do you have a better solution to the massive spending needed after 16 years plus of neglect? Bush at least had the excuse of inheriting a recession from Clinton (just like Obama did from Bush) and then he had to deal with a $3 trillion loss from 9-11 and fight two wars.
Obama inherited a recession from Bush too, but with a silver bullet to counteract it (Federal purchase and renting back of defaulted sub prime homes that would have netted the Federal government a net profit in 8 years and would have stabilized the sub prime collapse which is what was causing the recession to begin with). However, Obama shit canned the solution and instead ineffectually dropped around a trillion dollars for infrastructure "shovel ready" jobs that amounted to a payoff of his political supporters, just like a good Chicago politician.
Here, we have Trump trying to be responsible with our tax dollars and actually looking to revitalize our infrastructure. That revitalization is not going to be free, but having the actual users pay for it is a damn sight better than having the US taxpayer foot the bill, considering we are another 8 TRILLION dollars in the hole thanks to the Obama administration.
You mean monuments dedicated to a man who didn't want monuments dedicated to him, erected long after the subject of their rememberance as a protest against equality in law? Those ones?
Citations please, specifically that the monuments torn down by the alt left fascists: http://nymag.com/daily/intelli... were all erected as remembrances to protest equality in law.
Virtually everything run by business not only runs at a profit but is a net benefit for tax coffers and the public at large (from smart phone companies to your local gym). Why should the government be involved in any of those activities when private business gives us a more economical system with more choices and better quality/customer service?
The airports and airline system along with the federal freeway system were jump started after the end of WW2 for a number of reasons, but there is no justification for not privatizing most or all of it (still with the proper regulation to ensure competition, quality and low prices for the consumer).
Look up the meaning of the word subsidize. You literally just admitted that US tax payers do subsidize the airports...
Buying or receiving goods that arrive by roadway does not mean you are benefiting. The business who sold you those goods is benefiting, and they should be paying for that benefit and charging you an increase that reflects fair payment for the use of those roads in your delivery. If they are using EVs or alternative fuel vehicles (like Propane) to make deliveries, they are not paying at all for maintenance and upkeep of the roads they are using...
If you think that the federal government is more efficient at spending money than private business (or better at customer service) I would like to sell you a bridge in Brooklyn...
The California blackouts were 100% Enron manipulating the market to make billions (that was the federal findings result). Deregulation does not mean no-regulation, and the idiots in California let Enron write the deregulation terms which is why the electorate took Gray Davis head in a historic recall.
There was still regulation, it was just asinine because the bureaucrats were 100% incompetent fools. Many other states (including Texas) have a deregulated grid with no shortages and low prices (that don't gouge users as they buy more, like California and most Democrat states do today). https://www.electricchoice.com... and Texas pays 30% less for baseline electricity than California, even after re-regulation and about 65% less if you consider actual average bills based on usage: https://www.npr.org/sections/m...
The key is to require all providers to maintain a reasonable % of excess capacity over what they sell into the grid, and when it drops below a threshold, they have to build more capacity and require long term contracts (something like 12 months at a time) so that energy is sold on a long term contract basis, instead of a premium spot demand price.
Airports should be breaking even, such that the users are paying for all the costs, while maintaining it and providing for any needed renovation and expansion. The US tax payer should not be subsidizing your air travel.
Roads should be breaking even with the federal $0.18/gallon gas tax so that the users are paying for all the costs while maintaining and providing for needed repaving and any needed expansion. (That is breaking down with EVs, so we may need to go with some kind of road pass tracker that bills monthly for actual miles driven if you own an EV or annual based on verified mileage from your insurer, etc. They also probably need to update the mileage fees for semi and delivery trucks since they put a lot of wear and tear on the roads as well.)
The taxpayers already forked over for the initial construction, and forcing us all to subsidize maintenance is not something that the Federal government is efficient with.
Very unlikely that Comcast (a subsidiary cable company) would or even could buy an airport.
Probably more like the JP Morgan Regan Airport, but why would you care if the facilities are in great shape, the taxpayers are no longer footing the bill for a net loss each year or on the hook for billions in renovation and modernization, and you only pay an extra $20 on your ticket and you get great customer service? That is a net positive all the way around, except, probably for the public sector unions.
Private industry does a great job as long as there is competition. It only sucks when, like the government, it has a monopoly (like Comcast).
AC hiding behind a BS post and probably sock puppet up mods BS because that has happened ZERO times in the last year, and Trump is only proposing to privatize infrastructure to facilitate massive amounts of infrastructure spending in a responsible way. Obama was the one that took the stimulus money and gave it to his supporters (for some reason, the Dims are always projecting their moral shortfalls on the conservatives), but it doesn't work because, unlike the Dims, we actually keep track of actual facts, not just emotions and virtue signalling.
At the end of the day, Obama PISSED AWAY $8,000,000,000,000 and got an average of 1% growth for 8 years because he was a corrupt Chicago politician giving everything away for politics. Trump is only spending $200B and he is leveraging that into $1.5T of infrastructure spending, which is massive and badly needed.
People need to stop listening to the Dims and the hysterical MSM and just look at what Trump is actually doing. The good news is that as the economy continues to roar along after it got out from under the Obama administration and now as everyone sees the infrastructure revitalized, it will be impossible for the MSM and Dims to lie about the current state of affairs with any credibility.
The only people I have seen tearing down historic icons are the alt left trying to rewrite actual historical fact in the southern states by tearing down monuments and statues of historical figures... Trump is proposing to privatize money losing infrastructure that is in bad need of repair and modernization.
As far as limited-development areas, we should be developing land to it's best use to the entire nation, not just the 5% eco-nut special interests because they are the most vocal and violent.
Except these buildings and projects are 30 plus years old on a 40-50y planned life, which the government has not been even doing the minimum maintenance on in many cases while continuously losing money.
There are no losses being socialized, rather Trump is using the private sector profit motivation: you know, the thing that lets you get good products like your smartphone and good customer service, at least where there is competition and where you have the right to sue if you have an unresolved issue (no, you can't sue the federal government in nearly all cases).
Private business is going to sink billions much more efficiently to renovate, modernize and run, and then the people who actually use those services are going to pay for it, not the entire US tax base, which is both fair and reasonable. At the end of the day we will get some money back to the US tax payer for infrastructure with less than 10 years remaining (before major renovations are required) and going forward the customers who use the facilities will pay for their maintenance and upkeep. Just like any other pay to use piece of property...
This will likely happen, as the Federal government especially is terribly inefficient and incompetent at maintaining and providing customer service. Ever been to the DMV?
What happens when airports get privatized? It will cost you a few more bucks to fly in and out of that airport, but they will get badly needed renovations of electrical, plumbing and structure that they need, and it will get done more quickly (assuming Trump also executes on chopping through all the red tape permitting BS that has accumulated over the last 40 years) and it will be paid for by the people that actually use it, rather than every taxpayer in the US.
Once all the Trump derangement syndrome sufferers calm the hell down (I know it's hard for the hard core left between the Dim politicians and the MSM lying their asses off every night saying Trump is Hitler and the Antichrist who rapes every woman who he meets), they will realize what the rest of us already have, that regardless of his personal wealth, Trump is at heart just a normal guy, not a politician and he is a populist.
He has been consistently trying to do what is best for the people, not special interests, which is what every other politician (R and D) has been doing for the last 60 years. Of course, history will be the judge, but all of the actions that Trump has taken domestically have been to limit government, enforce the laws on the books, and protect the American citizen workers. He has not re-implemented Jim Crowe or started incarcerating homosexuals etc. so take a breath.
We are now going to see what an infrastructure plan looks like from a businessman and a builder, rather than the "shovel ready" stimulus under community organizer Obama that was just a giveaway to his cronies and pet environmental special interests.
Yeah, as second in line to leader of the free world, being right in front of one of the top representatives of an insane murderous state would make me nervous as well.
N. Korea conducts assassinations in other country's airports using VX nerve agent. They blow up airliners. They literally starve their population.
They just recently tortured a college student to death.
Requoting the AC below, for your viewing pleasure:
That’s because there was a woman standing behind him who wasn’t accompanied by her husband and had authority over a bunch of men.
Oh, you mean that North Korean harridan propaganda minister, who sits on North Korea's Politburo?
You know, North Korea? That country that conducts assassinations in other country's airports using VX nerve agent? That blows up airliners? That literally starves its population? That tortures college students to death?
It would be amazing if we could split a country in half, let one half go socialist and one half capitalist, come back 75 years later, and compare the results. What an experiment that would be...
Aaaand this is just highlighting why Facebook needs to be federally regulated. They have every right to fire a leaking employee, but I am pretty sure that how they figured it out is a violation of a number of laws. Even if they have access to said information for advertising purposes through the employees Facebook page, there is a whole different set of regulations as to what an employer can do to spy on an employee, especially on their days off...
It is high time the technocrats running Google, Facebook and Twitter go the hard slap down of federal regulation. They are just companies and they have been abusing their increasing power for far too long already.
It is explicitly stated frequently on the air. Furthermore grown ass adults can fairly easily differentiate between straight news reporting and commentating (with multiple guests debating issues, talking all around an issue including historical background, context and expected results and effects.
Can you tell the difference between the 10 o'clock news and 60 minutes?
I had to Google Alex Jones because I had never heard of him. It looks like he has about 400K devout followers and is the nut job straw man punching bag that the alt left trots out to confirm that all 180,000,000 conservatives in the US are crazies. (That's about 0.002% of conservatives) If you think there aren't nut job crazies on the left, I have news for you.
I'm sorry, but if you can't see the problem with that math, I can't help you.

(That's about 0.002% of conservatives) If you think there aren't nut job crazies on the left, I have news for you.
I'm sorry, but if you can't see the problem with that math, I can't help you.
