Watching Dan Millican's update this evening. He played audio from a couple recent near misses of a PAT helo and a RJ. In both cases...

Well they have rights as well. Their PII is governed under the Privacy Act. Both my Army flight records state “The information in this...

I noticed DJI announced they were disabling the geofencing capabilities in their drones, obviously to short circuit any future claims of...

This is why I shouldn't do math. I forgot to add the fuel weight to my numbers, which would have made the total 18,425 lbs. I was also...

In my case, it's more like: Drained oil, Exxoned half of hangar floor, spread out 5 lbs of kitty litter to soak up oil spill, removed...

Have you ever talked with a lawyer who wasn’t on the clock? :)

It's an energy equivalent. The calculation doesn't mean 32 lbs of TNT would make the same sized crater, and as @WBI Flyer pointed out...

Nope. Your calc of 34.4 lbs is close to mine of 15 kg. That's 32 lbs.

so would I be wrong in calculating ~ 34.4lbs of TNT? - keeping in mind that that is just the energy released on deceleration of the...

Seventeen 55 gallon drums of debris already filled, and burned out vehicles three blocks away from the crater. That was a helluva impact...

and as was mentioned before, KE doesn't account for the blast force equivalent of the fuel under explosive overpressure, which needs to...

I did the calcs assuming 6700 kgs weight and 120 m/s speed, and came up with 60+ Mj. That's about the same as a 15 kg TNT explosion.

Fragmentation and blast radii patterns, with the fireball visible in the video, supports a debris field of at least that. The condition...

In the second, more detailed video, taken from a different angle, the tail logo lighting appears to be illuminated after the collision...

Thanks for the answers. The comments from your friend about NVGs in that environment are exactly what I was thinking just hours after...
