A fuel tank overfilled.... an engine switched off prematurely.... this account is quite unusual in a world where most reporters and analysts are habitually cautious in their statements. Whether he's correct or not, the book is worth a read for fans of the Concorde.

This week I'm reading Mike Bannister's account of his time flying Concorde eventually as chief pilot for BA, and his inside knowledge of the Paris crash, having been part of the investigation team. Most surprisingly, he lays chain of events which lead to the crash entirely at the feet of Air France!

The discussion was a fascinating account of how 1960s technology (analog computers!) was applied to create an aircraft with similar performance as the Mach 3+ SR-71 Blackbird, but flew passengers in business suits mainly between London and New York, with little drama. That is until the Paris crash.

That thread is perhaps the highest signal to noise ratio I have ever read in any online forum or platform. At the time, Concorde had been retired after the Paris crash, upgraded and returned to service, and then retired again (permanently as it turned out) as a result of the the financial crisis.

Years ago I stumbled across a long and fascinating thread about the Concorde on a professional pilot forum. Many of the participants were former pilots or engineers, a few clearly quite elderly engineers who had been part for the development team in the late 60s and early 70s.

This tech was commercialized in a slightly different configuration - a fluid whose viscosity can be varied by applying an electric fiels (magnetorheological damper system). It has been in use by a bunch of brands for years. I went to college with a guy who ended up on the team developing it at GM.

Duckworth has signaled she wants to let bygones be bygones. Kelly's a maybe - I'm not convinced he is motivated enough to take the heat. My vote is Chris Murphy.

Not where I live. The single best way to get people housing is a quality built 500 unit affordable mixed use project, not hoping a few extra luxury duplexes somehow turns the tide.

NBC 4 news coverage has footage of this company's trucks on site at the work. There may have been other tree companies involved as well but Riverbend is the only one I saw in the local news coverage.

Based on this FAQ indicating it takes 2-3 weeks to schedule work, I want Judge Reyes to know how long the government was planning to break her order.
FAQ from Riverbend Landscape and Tree Service website.  Q: How quickly can my work be scheduled? A: Once the contract is signed and deposit payment received... approximately 2-3 weeks.
