Car crushed by tractor in crash caught on CCTV at RAF Mildenhall RAF Mildenhall is one of those UK airbases primarily used by the USAF, so I wondered from the still image if it was another 'wrong side of the road' case. But the video clearly shows the tractor veering from the other side at the last moment, in full view of the oncoming car. Nasty. |

A Darwin Award winning. Shelby GT500 Thief Runs Out Of Gas, Dies. ...While crossing the San Mateo Bridge, Jaeger’s luck ran out and so did the gas in the Shelby. Surely he saw the gas light before, but the man kept pushing the GT500 hard to shake the fuzz and as a result he literally drained the tank so the car just stopped dead.Well he won't be making that mistake again. Cheers. |

Have to admit that over the years did have several bad habits while driving. Smoking. Drinking (coffee). Eating. However, never took both hands off the wheel or eyes of the road. Silly man Pulling strokes like that with onboard CCTV... |

Now why didn't the instructor override the student? Flight instructor killed when student pilot crashes in Virginia. |

Now why didn't the instructor override the student? Investigators determined that the student pilot attempted to pull up the Cessna 172 at a very steep angle during takeoff, causing the engine to stall in the air.Wouldn't have been time to do so. You can recover from a stall when you've got plenty of altitude. But no altitude, no chance of recovery. Grant Darwin NT |

causing the engine to stall Highly unlikely - more probable the aircraft stalled due to the high angle of attack induced by the student pulling hard back on the controls. Once stalled at low altitude the crash was unavoidable, and landing in the ditch was as much due to local geography as anything else.

Uneducated media, making up fake news. Wings have boundary layer separation from excessive angle of attack, commonly called a stall.I thought so myself too, but that's exactly what was posted in the article.causing the engine to stallHighly unlikely - more probable the aircraft stalled due to the high angle of attack There is a fine line between allowing the student to learn from the school of hard knocks and realizing that the lesson is going to kill yourself. |

Police: Fog a factor in deadly chain-reaction crash on Oregon highway Brain fog would be the factor. If you can't stop before you travel past where you can see when you hit stop, that isn't weather fog, that is brain fog! ![]() |
