July 28 1945 - A US Army B-25 bomber crashes into the Empire State Building between the 78th and 79th floors. An engine plunges down an elevator shaft, sparking a fire in the basement. Eleven people in the building were killed, in addition to the three man bomber crew. Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver survived a plunge of 75 stories inside an elevator, which still stands as the Guinness World Record for the longest survived elevator fall recorded. Amazingly the building did not collapse.
 

hmmm interesting

Today I saw regular unleaded gas in Washington state at $1.79 / gallon.
I really thought I would never see these prices again a couple years ago. What a surprise.

I was also thinking that a lot of the knowledge from when those videos above were made was probably not passed down well in the bureaucratic NASA ....
SpaceX has made some strides.... not all has been lost.
I bet if Von Braun was around nowadays he wouldn't be impressed with our space exploration or space stations in the last 50 years.
Rocketdyne engineers alone (if they are still alive) are probably wondering why no one is using fuel injected thrust vectoring engines....etc....

If there had been footage of this event, it would have been copied about 1,000 times and repeatedly watched by about 100,000,000 people. And it would have been promoted further by the FBI and Pentagon as part of the background to justify the war on terror. The rumors of the "Palestinians" was undoubtedly triggered as a response to the arrest and deportation of at least 2 of the 5 Israelis who were driving a white van and filming the event. I began watching the local NYC news immediately as the event happened within 48 blocks from my office, and one of my secretaries was killed, having recently changed jobs to Cantor-Fitzgerald, the same company where the wife of my boss worked -- and who survived by being on maternity leave. There were reports of possible Palestinians in a white van that we remembered very clearly, and when it was discovered that they were Israelis working for a Jewish-owned moving company, the idea was dismissed from all the major channels but still discussed on radio. To counteract the fact that these cheering persons were found to be Israeli, several anonymous people began calling into radio stations later in the week with unsubstantiated claims that Palestinians were also celebrating from rooftops. Over the next year, people even began remembering that they had "seen" these Palestinian celebrators.
I would not agree with all the conclusions made on the "Catholic World" website, there was a lot of confusion over how to handle the news. Here is what the website http://www.todayscatholicworld.com/mossad-agents-911.htm says, in part:
-----------the rest of this post includes excerpts from that website where I have highlighted some points in red---------------
 
The Five Dancing "Israelis"
Arrested On 9-11
 
On the day of the 9-11 attacks, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked what the attacks would mean for US-Israeli relations. His quick reply was: "It's very good……. Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)"  
The FBI came to the conclusion... that the five Israelis arrested in New Jersey last September were conducting a Mossad surveillance mission and that their employer, Urban Moving Systems of Weehawken, N.J., served as a front. -Forward (A Jewish Magazine) March 15, 2002 "Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information."
--US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News report (that was later erased from the Fox News website) on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.
 
. . . Police also told the Bergen Record that bomb sniffing dogs were brought to the van and that they reacted as if they had smelled explosives.
The FBI seized and developed their photos, one of which shows Sivan Kurzberg flicking a cigarette lighter in front of the smouldering ruins in an apparently celebratory gesture. The Jerusalem Post later reported that a white van with a bomb was stopped as it approached the George Washington Bridge, but the ethnicity of the suspects was not revealed. Here's what the Jerusalem Post reported on September 12, 2001:
American security services overnight stopped a car bomb on the George Washington Bridge. The van, packed with explosives, was stopped on an approach ramp to the bridge. Authorities suspect the terrorists intended to blow up the main crossing between New Jersey and New York, Army Radio reported. (Jerusalem Post 09/12/01) The van was reported to be laden down with tons of explosives.
What's really intriguing is that ABC's 20/20, the New York Post, and the New Jersey Bergen Record all clearly and unambiguously reported that a white van with Israelis was intercepted on a ramp near Route 3, which leads directly to the Lincoln Tunnel.
But the Jerusalem Post, Israeli National News (Arutz Sheva), and Yediot America, all reported, just as clearly and unambiguously, that a white van with Israelis was stopped on a ramp leading to the George Washington Bridge, which is several miles north of the Lincoln Tunnel.
It appears as if there may actually have been two white vans involved, one stopped on each crossing. This would not only explain the conflicting reports as to the actual location of the arrests, but would also explain how so many credible eye-witnesses all saw celebrating "middle-easterners" in a white van in so many different locations. It also explains why the New York Post and Steve Gordon (lawyer for the 5 Israelis) originally described how three Israelis were arrested but later increased the total to five.
. . .
From there, the story gets becomes even more suspicious. The Israelis worked for a Weehawken moving company known as Urban Moving Systems. An American employee of Urban Moving Systems told the The Record of New Jersey that a majority of his co-workers were Israelis and they were joking about the attacks.
The employee, who declined to give his name said: "I was in tears. These guys were joking and that bothered me." These guys were like, "Now America knows what we go through."
(The Mercury Philadelphia, PA 10/17/01 ) A few days after the attacks, Urban Moving System's Israeli owner, Dominick Suter, dropped his business and fled the country for Israel. He was in such a hurry to flee America that some of Urban Moving System's customers were left with their furniture stranded in storage facilities (21).
It was later confirmed that the five detained Israelis were in fact Mossad agents. (Forward Magazine). They were held in custody for 71 days before being quietly released. Some of the movers had been kept in solitary confinement for 40 days.
Several of the detainees discussed their experience in America on an Israeli talk show after their return home. Said one of the men, denying that they were laughing or happy on the morning of Sept. 11, "The fact of the matter is we are coming from a country that experiences terror daily. Our purpose was to document the event."
How did they know there would be an event to document on 9-11?

Yes, and the reason is, at low altitudes the less effective  jets of burning fuel are pressed against the main jets by atmospheric pressure, and their own momentum, and the main jets "wall of fire" layer of friction imparts velocity to the auxiliary jets, because although the main jets are being ejected at many times the speed of sound, the hot and explosively expanding gas flow is turbulent.
What you are doing is trading the inefficiencies of the main jet (thrust = velocity x mass) through friction and the Bernoulli principle to the mass of the auxiliary jets' mass , but there are limits to everything.
I would imagine they are still trying to get that balancing act correct, and with the energies and fluid dynamics (the hot gasses) involved it is quite a trick.
They need some white haired old guy who knows to just come in and set aside the 20,000 pages of calculations and just tell them the answer, but then progress would not always be repeatable, and adaptable to new applications.
Sir Isaac Newton was a one time human phenomenon.

The coanda effect is simple to understand, and it will make a big, hot fire .... but thrust is another thing, altogether.
Imagine the following video, with hydrogen gas being sucked into the fan, and burning along the outside of the disc ... reaction (thrust) is a function of throwing stuff behind you that is heavy, or light stuff going very, very fast.  But, it has to push against a surface 180 degrees from the action, to have an efficient and strong reaction.

I find that if strapped in a chair with dozens of large plastic wire ties, and someone is trying to remove my kneecaps with pliers, it makes me very anxious, panicky, sad .... and VERY talkative!
I hate that ...... don't you?

It's all about money.
The reasons Smart Phones have made a hundred years progress in ten years is the opportunity and reality of "OUTRAGEOUS" profits.
The current designs are too hot, and too heavy, and like a bullet, produce a drag vacuum behind them.
Merely a matter of engineering ... but GOOD engineering takes hundreds of highly motivated engineers and highly motivated companies.
So ... what motivates most engineers?
MONEY.
LOTS and lots of money.
You would be surprised, if you do not already know ... how motivational being grossly overpaid is... and how much it is inspirational.
Several times in my life, I was paid three times the going rate, and paid in advance ... and I finished projects scheduled to finish in six months ... in six weeks.
Not only that, I could walk down the beach with two buckets full of money, and didn't even have to suck my stomach in.
 
 

Whatever' anyone may think she was perfectly cast as Eva ...a beautiful match

[Eva:] I don't expect my love affairs to last for long Never fool myself that my dreams will come true Being used to trouble I anticipate it But all the same I hate it, wouldn't you?
[Chorus:]
[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Another suitcase in another hall [Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Take your picture off another wall
[Eva:] Where am I going to?
[Che:] You'll get by, you always have before
[Eva:] Where am I going to? Time and time again I've said that I don't care That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through But every time it matters all my words desert me So anyone can hurt me, and they do
[chorus] Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion But that's no consolation here and now.
[chorus, with Che's lines being sung by the starlets]
[Huevo:] Don't ask anymore.

Taliban militants attack government offices in the southern Helmand Province of Afghanistan, with at least 10 killed, including seven of the attackers.

Like Harry Callahan once said  "A man's got to know his limitations".

That sentence scares the hell out of me.

"Despite the consequences, Reddington insisted he didn’t hold any personal grudges against Bishop. “I’ve done stupid things at bars to impress girls, too,” Reddington said. Bishop apologized to Reddington in court. “Mr. Reddington… I’m extremely sorry for everything he’s gone through,” Bishop said. The FBI has not commented on the case, but the Reddington’s lawyer said he had heard the agency fired Bishop shortly after the incident."
 
So... a criminal, on probation and lost his career. Over an accident.

SMH. Sad.

This guy is going to need retraining, a therapist like the victim and to recover a positive attitude about life in general.

I would like to see a small box, like a small image (zoom in small size), next to each line, which means that small image would give you an idea of what the image of that article is like, or it will show the first image from the images of that article.
IF THAT IS POSSIBLE, speaking concerning the program/forum "possibilities" .
thank you very much for the hard work.

The original idea of the United States constitution was to have a state that conformed only to the interest of rich landowners. Only rich landowners could vote. Most men in the United States could not vote, to say nothing for women and slaves. This was to create a powerful central state of ELITE that controlled the thoughts and ideas and material assets of the 99% of the rest of the population. 

I hadn't thought about Bart Simpson being insulting to white people.... interesting.

I upvote when arguments are sound and well reasoned.
I upvote ideas that are often  in direct conflict with each other, as I can see the viewpoint of both (or more) sides.
SOMETIMES I even upvote because I agree with what is being said.
Be sure to save all your upvotes because they are worth $37 dollars EACH.
Let's say you have 16 upvotes a month. (16 x $37 = $592).
That's $592.00 a MONTH!
Please make the checks out to me, personally.

I was once cleaning my firearms on the dining room table, and my now ex-wife stood behind me, watching .. with a very worried look, and her fingers intertwined, and asked "What would you do is everyone in the world gave up THEIR guns?"
Without pausing or turning around, I said "Rule wisely!"

Yes
