NTSB has published their report on the MedEvac plane that crashed into the Capitan Mountains, killing 4 first responders and sparking a wildfire that burned more than 30,000 acres. I heard a lot of rumors in the days after the crash but was cautious about repeating them. Seems the... rumors were accurate. The pilot reported GPS issues. White Sands Missile Range was running GPS jamming that night. 3 other flights reported GPS issues as well. What a tragedy that never should have happened! No comment from WSMR yet. I don’t know what purpose the jamming serves but I suspect it’s something to do with training or testing. It would be common sense that jamming GPS when there are planes in the air is just an accident waiting to happen but I’ve never accused the government of possessing an ounce of common sense.

If they were jamming GPS, they should also issue a no fly zone through NOTAM. That would've prevented this tragedy.

Thanks for the report. What a tragedy.

The GPS jamming is active tests going on on the range. My program on WSMR experiences it, even if the jamming isn't for my program. I'd imagine WSMR puts out NOTAMs regarding the jamming since it can't necessarily be completely contained to the Range. It's the responsibility...

GPS has issues and gets jammed all the time. No excuse for a professional aviator... there is more to the story

One thing that comes to mind is those tower lights are visible from all directions right on the crest. Could they not see them, or see them soon enough for some reason?

They said they had visual on the runway just a couple minutes before the crash. The tower, which was ABQ because we don’t have the tech here, called someone at WSMR and they stopped jamming gps for 5 minutes or so. The pilot got visual on runway, GPS went down again and minutes later the plane crashed. Without GPS I assume they were unaware they were approaching the top of the Capitan’s. I wonder if they saw something else and not the runway. Seems quite a distance from the north side of the mountain to SBR.

This is what confuses me, they can visually see the runway from north of the mountain, but not recognize the lights on the towers on the crest. I wonder what they could have seen if it wasn’t the runway? I guess time will tell what they eventually figure out with this

Aircraft have redundant systems. May be a contributing factor but not the cause.

Every pilot in the area is aware of the possibility of GPS issues. There are other ways to navigate without it but for many pilots it's like asking a school kid today to write a report without the internet. Pilots become dependent on the tech and then are blind when it's out.

ELON: ORDINARY CITIZENS VERY OFTEN KNOW MORE THAN JOURNALISTS “I think the media is a driver of misinformation much more than the media would like to admit that they are. In a lot of cases, it is the average citizen that knows more than the journalist. Very often, when I see an article about something that I know a lot about, and I read the article, they get a lot wrong. It's the best interpretation of someone who doesn't really understand what's going on in the industry, has only a few facts to play with, and has to come up with an article. It's not going to hit the bullseye. If you read an article about something you know about, how accurate is that article? Now, imagine that that is how essentially all articles are. They're an approximation of what's going on, but not an exact situation. If somebody is actually an expert in the field, and was actually there and then writes about their experience of being actually there, I think that actually that's, in a lot of cases, going to be better than a journalist because the journalist wasn't there.” Source: Interview with the BBC, April 2023

#WATCH | Air India Plane Crash | Ahmedabad: BJP Spokesperson Jayrajsinh Parmar says, "... On the night of June, I boarded the AI 171 from Gatwick to Ahmedabad. It was the same flight (which crashed)... If an Air India flight malfunctions, the country's name is maligned... There are a lot of facilities in the rest of the international airlines, but unfortunately, we don't see any of that in Air India. The GPS was not working. There was no internal telecom service, the seats were damaged, and the desks were not working correctly... The flight did not seem to have proper maintenance... The name 'Air India' has the word 'India' in it, which maligns our country and is hurtful..." (13.06)

What are the odds that this same accident that Anthony Joshua survived but unfortunately got two other people killed could have happened to him in the UK where he is based? I admit that accident can happen anywhere in the world, but I know that an overloaded truck would never be allowed on the road in the UK. And I also know that UK roads will never degenerate to the appalling condition that Ogun State roads have become. OK, let's assume that the accident did happen to him in the UK, do you think there won't be any ambulance at all in the accident scene? All I am trying to point out is that Nigeria roads are death traps and it is very necessary for the government to fix the roads. If the government wants to tax Nigerians like other western countries tax their people, the government should at least provide the basic amenities for the benefit of the masses. I know some people will still say that I hate Nigeria and its government but I don't care how they feel. Ìwọ̀fà l'ẹnu. Anyone living abroad but still supports the anyhowness and poor living condition that the government has subjected the people to is the one who truly hates Nigerians. I wish AJ a quick recovery and I pray that the souls of the departed victims find an eternal rest.

BREAKING: Joe Biden just emerged from working out, and made a comment about the plane that crashed on its flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg, that was carrying Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin. Biden was asked about Putin and the incident and can be heard saying: “I don’t know for a fact what happened, but I am not surprised. There is not much that happens in Russia with Putin not behind [it], but I don’t know enough to know the answer. I’ve been working out for the last hour and a half."

This woman’s daughter bought a used car two weeks ago and it’s been in the shop 9 days out of those two weeks. The warranty won’t fix the issues the car has because the issues are being caused by an accident. I feel the dealership failed big time on this trade in. Why take a car on trade that has issues they refuse to fix. I can’t imagine them selling a car to anyone and saying that the warranty is voided because of extensive damage caused by an accident. To me this sounds like the dealership scammed them and should be liable for all repairs or at least replace the car for free with something comparable. I’ve never experienced anything this bad from a dealer. The closest thing I’ve had is that the new car I bought had a tire that had a flat spot due to it sitting on the lot for so long. When driven, the tire would vibrate like it was out of balance. The dealer kept passing the buck to the manufacturer and the manufacturer blamed the dealer. Eventually I was able to get the dealer to replace the tire because of pure persistence but the experience left me with a poor experience and I never went back to them.

🇮🇱 Former Israeli Soldier Breaks His Silence on Raiding Homes of Palestinians: "Made Sure the People in the House were Innocent" Transcript: "We would open up the maps and look at the specific house that looked into the right place that we had to enter a city center or a road. And after we would verify that the house has the best parameters, windows and geographical area, we made sure the people in the house were innocent. It so we would enter a house of an innocent Palestinian home in the middle of the night. But I would say that what motivated me eventually to break my silence was the piercing eyes of young Palestinians when I was barging into their house in the middle of the night. I could always justify it to myself. But those eyes, the anger, their fear, was what eventually helped me overcome that. A house of a physician in Nabilus, for example, that I entered in the middle of the night, taking him, his wife and his daughter and pushing them in a room if they wanted to use their bathroom or their kitchen or use their phone, they need permission from me. That specific house in Abelis stayed with me for a while because that physician himself was kind enough and generous enough to sit down and explain to me what it means to be a Palestinian. And I thought that I was a good moral soldier, but I was actually helping entrench the occupation in that sense."

When there was all momentum over the weekend that it was definitely happening (Bill Simmons’ take), there were other teams that I talked to that said they were still talking to Milwaukee about potential offers I think Jaylen Brown being re routed and MIL getting extra picks makes a ton of sense. I wouldn’t rule it out but I think it’s a massive tab that comes with Giannis. But the certainty with the way it was talked about a few days ago, it didn’t feel as certain last night when I was talking to people on the phone”

The Circle (2000, Panahi)/ Iran "Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date." --- Jafar Panahi Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: The subject matter of 'The Circle' (2000) is controversial. You mentioned that the film is still banned in Iran. In fact, when I was watching the film, I realized that through the characters, there’s a lot of fear about the system, the establishment, the police. The women can’t smoke; they have to wear the chador; they seem to want to hide every time. This is all very clear from watching the film. Did you deliberately want to make a statement about the political situation in Iran? Panahi: I have to tell you again that I’m not a political person. I don’t like political movies. But I take every opportunity to comment on the social issues. I talk about the current issues. To me it’s not important what is the reason for what has happened. Whether it’s political reasons or geographical reasons: these are not important—but the condition, the social issues. It is important to me to talk about the plight of humanity at that time. I don’t want to give a political view, or start a political war. I think that the artist should rise above this. Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date. So it doesn’t really serve a political purpose. Then it can be everlasting, for always, and it could be for anywhere. But I know that politically, with the film authorities, with any kind of film that has some political background in it, they would take issue with it. And for this reason, that is what the problem is. Interviewer: Still, your film makes a very strong statement about the problems that women face in Iran. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. Interviewer: So that is humanitarian, of course, but it’s also political. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. It has the elements. It all depends on how you look at it. If a person has only political views, then he will only see the political. But if you are a poet or an artist, then you see other things as well in the movie. If you are a socialist, you see political or economic or whatever different points of view. You mustn’t look at a film with only one point of view. If you want to see 'The Circle' (2000) as political, then it is one of the most political movies in Iran. By political, I mean partisan politics. But even the police, I didn’t want to show them as bad. In the first instance, you are afraid of the police. Because you are looking at them from the point of view of someone who is now in prison. And normally you see him in a long shot, but when they come nearer and you see them in a medium shot, you can see their human faces. Then it comes down to, “Do you need any help?” But he goes back again and becomes frightening. If I were being political, then I would always show the police as dangerous or bad persons."

Me: What the Trump administration is doing by this trolling—by this contempt for standards of evidence, truth, sound argument—is what many dictators have done. Namely, not so much lie, because people can see through lies. But just as Steve Bannon put it, flood the zone with—we're on the radio—so, flood the zone with feces; he didn’t use the word feces. That is, spread so much nonsense, some things that are true, some things that are false, that people just feel there’s no way to tell the difference, and so they just accept what the powerful leader says. That is, you undermine the feeling that there’s any basis to distinguish truth from falsehood. Meaning, well, then what are you going to believe? Well, believe what the leader says. Adam Boulton: And that is, you know, making common knowledge toxic to a certain extent, isn’t it? Me: Yes, it’s spreading the common belief that works in the interests of the powerful leader, the sovereign, the dictator, the chief, at the expense of the democratic principle that the government serves the interests of the people. Adam Boulton: It also seems to me that because America is so dominant and so large, that it is something that is spreading out into political discourse in other countries. You know, people talk about being like Trump, or Trump’s got a point, or things like that. Do you see that coming here? Me: Yeah, I think that is a danger. I mean, I think there were hints of that during the administration of Boris Johnson, who has been called Trump with a thesaurus. But there was some of that trolling, some of that not being quite serious—you never knew whether he was joshing or not—which is less benign than it might seem. It’s not just that he has a sense of humor, but by just fuzzing the border between truth and exaggeration and trolling, it meant that you’re in a position where you may as well believe what the leader says, because the whole atmosphere of knowing has been so polluted that there’s no way of determining what’s true or false. Adam Boulton: It also seems to me—I don’t know if you’d agree—that there’s a tremendous amount of gaslighting, that the fault which Trump or the administration is manifesting, they then accuse their opponents of having. You know, it’s not me, it’s you. Me: Exactly, that kind of naked partisanship: I’m right, people who disagree with me are bad, whatever it is that they say, and I never make a mistake, anything I say is true, is another tactic of control. And indeed, gaslighting—which is like the emperor’s new clothes, the elephant in the room—where people know something privately, but they are punished for saying it publicly, with the result that you can be in a situation where everyone knows something, mistakenly thinks that no one else knows it, whereas everyone really does know it. And that spiral of silence, as it’s sometimes called, can happen when the expression of beliefs is punished. With Adam Boulton of Times Radio (Times Radio):

But there was some of that trolling, some of that not being quite serious—you never knew whether he was joshing or not—which is less benign than it might seem. It’s not just that he has a sense of humor, but by just fuzzing the border between truth and exaggeration and trolling, it meant that you’re in a position where you may as well believe what the leader says, because the whole atmosphere of knowing has been so polluted that there’s no way of determining what’s true or false. Adam Boulton: It also seems to me—I don’t know if you’d agree—that there’s a tremendous amount of gaslighting, that the fault which Trump or the administration is manifesting, they then accuse their opponents of having. You know, it’s not me, it’s you. Me: Exactly, that kind of naked partisanship: I’m right, people who disagree with me are bad, whatever it is that they say, and I never make a mistake, anything I say is true, is another tactic of control. And indeed, gaslighting—which is like the emperor’s new clothes, the elephant in the room—where people know something privately, but they are punished for saying it publicly, with the result that you can be in a situation where everyone knows something, mistakenly thinks that no one else knows it, whereas everyone really does know it. And that spiral of silence, as it’s sometimes called, can happen when the expression of beliefs is punished. With Adam Boulton of Times Radio (Times Radio):

Let me give everyone just a little common sense test. It may be that I retired from the United States Air Force, that the answer is crystal clear to me and maybe a bit more challenging for others. So the guy on the left is claiming to be the president of the United States of America. He claims his name is Joe Biden but we know Joe Biden is dead. He faced a military tribunal and was executed. So really do you really think that a president of the United States of America gets off a plane and gets into some random dudes vehicle? Only someone that doesn't know anything about the military would think such nonsense. Or are you someone that has a great deal of common Sense and critical thinking ability and can see this motorcade on the right and know that that's what a presidential motorcade looks like and that means the president is really in there. This so happened to be president Trump on his way to South Carolina rally. So is the real president on the left side or is the real president on the right side? This really should be a no-brainer but of course we know liberals absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt or no brainers they have no brains, they have no common sense, there are cognitive dissonance is all messed up, and they have zero critical thinking capabilities. By the way even former presidents don't have motorcades that look like that for anybody thinking that the excuse for it. So-called president gets in an Uber carrying his own luggage and people can't wake the hell up.

Sidney Lumet on the theme of "Daniel" (1983): "I don’t know if I’ve ever said this publicly, but I’ve done three movies, 'Daniel' (1983), 'Running on Empty' (1988), and 'Family Business' (1989), that are thematically the same thing—the cost that others pay for one’s passions—and I only recognized this after wards. It really begins with 'Daniel'. As I’ve said so often about 'Daniel', I wasn’t ever denying its political nature, but I was not being disingenuous when I also said it’s the exact same suffering that I’m talking about that kids have when their parents are artists. Any deep emotional commitment on the part of the parents is going to cost something . . . not just to the parents but also almost always to the children. Now, it can be a constructive cost or a destructive one. There are too many factors that go into it for me to try to label it one way or the other but there is no doubt that there is a cost. The positive side—one of the positive sides—is that the kids learn about passion, learn about commitment, learn about a million things that I personally admire. The destructive side is that nobody’s home, even when they’re home. If it’s the father he’s not really there. If it’s the mother, she’s not really there. Maybe there are geniuses who can do it all, but I don’t know who they are. A lot of my friends for some reason are people who have worked in musical comedy, in the theater, and the big joke among the people who write the book and the lyrics and the music is there are two great secrets to doing it, there are two secrets to doing a great musical and nobody knows what they are. And I feel that way about child-raising. There are two great secrets for raising children and nobody knows what they are. When Edgar [E. L. Doctorow] and I were being interviewed and talking to people about 'Daniel' and explaining that passion and commitment doesn’t have to be just about politics, that it can be about a stockbroker, about anybody who has a central source of passion outside of the family itself, people thought that we were trying to deny the political ramifications of the movie. Never! We were just saying that it’s broader than the Communist Party, U.S.A. And I was very bothered by the reception that the picture got, first of all because I felt that the reception was political. I certainly know it was political as far as the New York Times went. When you analyze the movie, when you really look at it from a moviemaking point of view, it’s a brilliant movie. It’s an extraordinary movie. And that was never acknowledged." (Sidney Lumet's interview with Joanna E. Rapf, 2003) P.S: Remembering the legendary American filmmaker Sidney Lumet on his 102nd birthday!
