Re: Well it looks like Jr only beat his father
I've been wondering what happened to chartvark566qfq's charts. It's been a long time. From your numbers it looks like life under Carter was Utopia itself.

Yeah, something akin to Harold and Kumar, but without the pot.There's a movie plot in there somewhere.

Self criticism of your Country? I think Peter prefers Death before Dishonour. I haven't been to "my country" since 1991. I am, however, fairly well-acquainted with its current leader. I knew him back when we both were students at two of Manhattan's finest institutions of higher learning, ...

Re: BA 777 @ LHR
Also the way you initially phrased your answers seemed that you were basically dismissing it as British incompetence - hence the references to the US involvement. I see now that you think its incompetence of a non geographic nature. Yes, in fact, if it makes you more comfortable and/or more recepti...

Re: BA 777 @ LHR
The authorities contend there was no no defect in the aircraft oe engines however, the engines were fuel starved. Given there were no defects, the only reasonable conclusions are: 1. No fuel in the tanks. 2. A fuel blockage (ice) forming in both fuel delivery systems at the same time. The AAIB cont...

Re: BA 777 @ LHR
I have to tell you, that's not impossible, but certainly puts your professed admiration of Occam's Razor to the test. You're probably right. Halfie. Since there have never been nor ever will be any politics around aviation, it's far more plausible that a couple of chunks of ice came out of those bi...

Re: BA 777 @ LHR
That said, though, if you are theorizing that these investigative agencies are potentially conspiring together to willfully mislead the public, that is a very bold claim for which I would hope you would at least have a theory. Who are they protecting? BA? If so, why would Boeing go along with that?...

Re: BA 777 @ LHR
But if you accept that a conspiracy is a possibility, then I admit I'm not clear on why they would do that (even if it were only part of the explanation). Why would the AAIB knowingly put out false information? And if they did, why would the NTSB and manufacturers and other parties help them cover ...

Re: BA 777 @ LHR
Suspicious isn't a word I would use. I do find the whole incident intuiging because of how unlikely any of the possibilities are. Even if it was fuel exhaustion, how unlikely is it that a whole host of comapnies and agencies would colaborate to decive? If it is purely a mistake - how come they miss...

Re: BA 777 @ LHR
I'd appreciate it if you would expand a little more on how you believe that the fuel exhaustion theory fits with what we know. I certainly agree with you that it is the most likely explanation, all things being equal, but given the AAIB's findings of significant spilled fuel on site and no low fuel...

I think they're excellent on the whole. So did you overlook answering my question ? I didn't. The idea of fuel exhaustion has been brought up there as well (over a span of 89 pages!). Some agreed, some didn't. A number of people on there also seem to think the report doesn't actually support the ic...

Actually Ike - now I can compare you to MultiVector as well.

Re: BA 777 @ LHR
Their convenience is none of my concern.So you would think it plausible that the report-writers have conveniently omitted the fact that they did not discover any usable fuel in the aircraft?
