American Crappy Plane: The Boeing 757 (5)

After takeoff at 11:42 p.m the captain found that his air speed indicator (ASI) was not working properly, although the co-pilot's ASI was functional. While the plane was climbing to 4,700 feet (1,400 m), the captain's ASI indicated 350 knots, which triggered an autopilot reaction, increasing the pitch-up attitude and reducing power to lower the plane's airspeed. Investigations showed that the plane was actually travelling at 220 knots at the time. Both pilots became confused when the co-pilot's ASI read 200 knots (decreasing) while getting rudder ratio and Mach airspeed advisory warnings and a stick-shaker warning. The pilots concluded that both ASIs were malfunctioning. The autopilot, which received the captain's faulty ASI readings, was disconnected by the pilots and they gave full thrust. At 11:47 p.m., the Ground Proximity Warning System gave an aural warning, and eight seconds later the plane crashed into the Caribbean Sea. All 13 crew members and 176 passengers died.The investigation concluded that a pitot tube was blocked, but neither tube was recovered and they were unable to determine what was blocking it. However, investigators suspected that some kind of insect could have created a nest inside the pitot tube. One specific species called the mud dauber wasp is well-known by pilots flying in the Dominican Republic, so it is the primary suspect. The aircraft had not flown in 25 days, giving the wasps an opportunity to build nests in the tubes.Later the same year, Aeroperú Flight 603 suffered from a similar situation and crashed in the ocean off Peru.

Eight Belles (Sound The Bugle)

RIP Eight Belles. If you are wondering, the first song is from the opening credits of The Horse Whisperer. Eight Belles is "laughing" because she is really enjoying herself and she thinks racing is easy. It offers contrast to the lyrics of "Sound The Bugle" Its one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite movies "Spirit". I DO NOT OWN ANY VIDEO CLIPS, AUDIO CLIPS OR SONGS USED IN THIS VIDEO.

F1 Spa 2008 Dramatic Last 5 Laps - Hamilton Stripped

http://www.myspace.com/masterjdotchapmanF1 Spa 2008 - Dramatic Last 5 LapsMcLaren's Lewis Hamilton was stripped of a dramatic victory in the Belgian Grand Prix after stewards handed him a 25-second post-race penalty. The Englishman was demoted to third place behind Ferrari's Felipe Massa and BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld. He was accused of gaining an advantage by cutting the Spa circuit's Bus Stop chicane in a late-race battle with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen. McLaren announced that they intend to appeal the stewards' decision. The demotion meant Hamilton's lead over Massa in the title chase cut to two points. Massa's team-mate Raikkonen, who crashed out of second place shortly after losing the lead, is 19 points behind Hamilton. Raikkonen is a point behind BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica. Before the penalty, Hamilton had extended his lead over the Brazilian to eight points, with Raikkonen effectively out of the running on 23. On the track, Hamilton had survived a frantic last two laps in a late shower of rain to apparently score a superb win. Hamilton lost the lead to Raikkonen with an early spin but fought back in the closing laps to re-take the lead with two laps to go. In a dramatic climax on a soaking track, Hamilton passed Raikkonen, lost the lead again with a spin, re-took it and then saw Raikkonen CrashIn a chaotic final couple of laps, Heidfeld jumped from eighth to third place on the track with what he called a "hero or zero decision" to come in for wet-weather tyres with two laps to go. Renault's Fernando Alonso chose the same tactic a lap later and it secured the double world champion the fourth place he had held for much of the race. "It was an experience and a half," Hamilton said before his penalty was announced. "I was praying for rain. I wanted it to come because I knew how to deal with it. "The heavens opened and I saw Kimi begin to back off and to brake a bit earlier. "I was going reasonably wide at Turn 12 but Rosberg spun and went off where I was coming back on. I went over the grass. It was incredibly tough. "Kimi pushed me wide. I was a little bit ahead. I was outside on Turn One, I had no room and he basically pushed me so I went on the escape route. 1.

This was Ronald Reagan at his best — the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as “The Speech,” which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP.
