Friday -- End-Of-Day-Report -- August 9, 2024

Locator: 48374B.

Pet peeve
: when the media calls a plane falling out of the sky a "crash."  

  • from the article: videos posted online showed a plane spiraling as it dropped from the sky
  • passenger planes don't simply drop out of the sky -- but yes, when they hit the ground, it's a crash, but the initial problem was not "crashing into terrain." 
    • the initial problem was falling out of the sky -- cause unknown
    • I would assume radio communications will explain a lot; I could be wrong; we'll see. In fact, "no" radio communications before suddenly falling out of the sky will also be quite noteworthy
    • Reddit got it correct: "a plane with 62 passengers just fell..."

Back to the Bakken
