  • unique experience of passing through the sound barrier was less dramatic than would be expected. The moment would be announced by one of the pilots, and could be seen on the cabin display, otherwise the slight surge in acceleration could easily be missed. At twice the normal cruising altitude, turbulence was rare and the view from t he windows clearly showed the curvature of the Earth. During the supersonic cruise, although the outside air temperature was typically -60 C, air friction would heat the external skin at the front of the plane to around +120 C making the windows warm to the touch and producing a noticeable temperature gradient along the length of the cabin. Most remarkably Concorde was the only passenger airliner able to overtake the terminator. On certain early evening transatlantic flights departing from Heathrow or Paris, it was possible to take off at night and catch up with the sun from the cockpit you could see the sun rise in the west.
  • aris crash The Concorde was the safest airliner in the world according to passenger deaths per distance travelled until the 25 July 2000 crash of Air France Flight 4590 in Gonesse, France, although it should be noted that the Boeing 737 fleet acquires more passenger miles and service hours in one week than the Concorde fleet acquired in the course of its entire service career. In any case, all of the people on board the flight perished, as well as four people on the ground. As the plane was on its take-off run, a metal piece punctured the tires which then burst, puncturing the fuel tanks and leading to the loss of the aircraft. The report of the investigation was published on 14 December 2004, attributing the crash to foreign object damage from a titanium strip that fell from another aircraft, a Continental Airlines DC-10 which had taken off four minutes before; the piece had not been approved by the US Federal Aviation Administration.

  • Why are these young women stars? First, teen moms are hawt! They’ve held a prurient fascination ever since Jamie Lynn Spears and Bristol Palin’s pregnancies were revealed in 2007 and 2008. But while Spears and Palin were already famous, the “Teen Mom” stars have real struggles.
  • Another reason for the cast’s popularity is their incredible ability to make news, on and off the air. Amber set off a controversy after episodes showed her hitting Gary and attempting to kick him down a flight of stairs. She is now being investigated for domestic abuse.

      The show generates a lot of attention from its drama - on-and-off relationships, problems with parents, etc.

  • The KTIM call letters resemble the symbols Zodiac included in his "Exorcist" letter from January 1974.
  • It was assumed by investigators that Zodiac's motivation for signing this letter "the Red Phantom" was because he was influenced by a silent film.
  • physical appearance and background match up very well with what is known (and assumed) about Zodiac.
