According to the poster, he has a Desmond.

This is true. However it's fitted with a similar engine managed system to the DBW V6 so the faulty codes are much the same

So it seems that Trumpy Trump blinked.   

Or did he?     

He hasn't done anything that he wasn't already planning to do.

If the Islamic Guard do anything on the meantime then it confirms that their out of line and off it goes again. If they actually negotiate then they've failed.

It's a bit of a clever play because it appeases the rest of the world whilst giving the IRGC the chance to back down, which obviously they won't as it would be to admit weakness and be humiliating.

Not quite check mate, but they're definitely in a corner.

Launcing missiles at Diego Garcia was a significant tactical error on their part.

I've said it before but if it were Obama doing this it would be a the epitome of tactical mastery, but because it's Donald,...

In daylight, it definitely wasn't a low speed impact 

My employer.

Woke up to a text telling me they have changed the aircraft on my flight today... As a result they'd moved Mum and put me on standby 

Obviously that wasn't going to work, so now on the later flight.

I wouldn't have minded but the aircraft hadn't changed since we checked in last night. It's all well and good saying XYZ but it pisses me off when they tell people things that are categorically untrue. To the point that if a passenger asks me a question, I always answer truthfully rather than try to make excuses for the company's shortcomings.

Notwithstanding that it's very much a First World problem, but we were in Row 1 so the size of the aircraft should be irrelevant 

Between 58 and 21 knots according to flight radar.

58knts being the speed immediately before the impact and 21knts being the last transmitted speed.

Aircraft aren't really designed for a sudden direct impact on the nose, especially not a CRJ as they're basically and extended business jet, so relatively low slung and pointy. Even at 21knts, the flight crew probably had a 50/50 chance, the fire truck turned enough to reduce its exposure but not enough for the aircraft.

No mention of the condition of the cabin crew who would have been sat by the boarding door, just a toilet away from the flight deck.

Regardless of clearance the fire crew either failed to look or failed to see and react to the aircraft as it touched down although landing from the south, the lights of Manhattan and the Bronx would have been behind the aircraft, so not as easy to distinguish as it perhaps should have been.

Oh, and popped it back on charge, despite it's 300 mile trip yesterday, as all that door opening and having the wireless on took the battery down to 50%

Sounds like you're preparing yourself for life as an ev driver 

Don't let your tanks run low folks!   

Thankfully I have a spare 60L sitting on the driveway. Need to extract it from the 2t of american lawn ornament that's wrapped around it, but nevertheless.

From the BBC:

The plane, carrying 72 passengers and four crew, was travelling about 24mph after arriving from Montreal on Sunday evening, local time.
Forty-one passengers and crew were taken to hospital, along with two officers who were in the ground vehicle; 32 are now out of hospital, but some others have "serious injuries".
