Re: Redwings Tupolev Moscow Runway Excursion

Gabriel, it's just to get past the swear filter! The tyre bouncing across the road and whacking the car in front is impressive (and scary). I assume that's one of the nose wheel tyres.

I met a very attractive blonde Norweigan model in HK last week, who had been a member of the Norweigan women's Olympic downhill ski team. She had quite perfect breasts.

Re: 727 Test Crash on TV 10/7/2012

It's been on YouTube since the day of the test crash. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMwzuE0IxuU It's truly amazing how the fuselage broke in the opposite direction that one would expect. Not really.
