Talk about only just making it- the wing tip & it's shadow damn near touched as it went over the last building as it banked to land on the taxiway. Light plane only metres from crashing. Grant Darwin NT |

The Gordie Howe bridge(youtube) being built between Canada and the US has a height problem, the decks on one side is 6" higher than the other side. This is between Windsor Ontario Canada and Detroit Michigan USA. The US is to the right since the Canadian side already completed their deck. Somebody will be adjusting the cables on the American side so they match the Canadian side, at least once the 36' final section pieces are installed. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

GPS interference prevented Finnair's airplane from landing in Joensuu wrote: On Tuesday morning, a Finnair aircraft traveling from Helsinki to Joensuu at 6.35 was unable to land due to GPS interference. After some time, the captain decided to return to Helsinki, resulting in the cancellation of the return flight from Joensuu to Helsinki.I still do not understand why Russia interferes with GPS everywhere and up to Karelia in Finland. I understand why they do it in the Black Sea, but not the Baltics. |

Given the current war footing. Do you want GPS guided munitions hitting targets? |

Rob, you get these employees all the time. My stepmoms brother is a mechanic and was servicing a similar lorry. He had drained both the oil and radiator coolant from it. He had taped a warning note across the steering wheel stating what he had done and not to drive the lorry. He was called away for another repair job. When he returned the lorry was gone. Not long after that a call was received about a stranded lorry. He and the boss went out to the lorry and asked if the driver had read the note taped to the steering wheel. The driver said “What note?” They looked in the lorry cab and found it crumpled up in the passenger floorboard. And you can guess how the rest of this story goes… |

Southwest is back under the spotlight yet again. An investigation is underway after a Boeing 737 belonging to a US airline descended over a residential neighbourhood nowhere hear a runway. A Boeing jet belonging to a major US airline inexplicably dived while landing in a major city flying less than 150 metres (500 feet) over a residential neighbourhood — setting off altitude alarms and frightening residents. |

That reminds me of this very recent 'incident': Investigation launched after Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 drops 'within 400ft' of Pacific Ocean wrote: The jet plunged at a maximum descent rate of about 4,400ft per minute off the coast of Hawaii before climbing back up to safety...

Well that went off course. New Zealand's Aratere ferry runs aground in late-night accident, crew spends night onboard. A ferry servicing the Cook Strait between New Zealand's North and South Islands has run aground in a late-night accident. |

Yep.Connections?...Southwest pilot training! As it says in the story itself about the second incident, the issue occurred because the co-pilot pushed forward on the control yoke instead of pulling back during the go-around. Nothing to do with the aircraft. And the low flyby of the high school was the result of a piloting issue as well, al least from the initial information available. Grant Darwin NT |

Someone forgot to tighten the wheel nuts, yet again. :-( United Airlines Boeing jet loses wheel seconds after takeoff — again. No reports of damage caused by that wheel as yet. |

There seems to be a spate of these happening of late. A plane mechanic has been killed after being sucked into the engine of a Boeing passenger jet while ‘trying to retrieve a tool’ in Iran. An aviation mechanic has tragically died after getting sucked into a Boeing passenger jet’s engine. |
