This one has it all!
In which an airline pilot / speakist informs us as to how problems with buses caused a huge ship to topple a not_railroad bridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoOOogUZY3g
PS Is it me, or do ships break a lot?
/Not brake, as ships have no PSI for such things.

Re: We just made deplaning more efficient
ConcurAnd that is the kind of issues that I have with unions...
I absolutely support the concept of collective bargain and unions, the right to strike, etc, etc, etc...

Re: Apropos of nothing...
The same thing it's been doing for the last 9 hours...What’s it doing now?
I do have to say I find Windows updates annoying at times but I've never had them take anywhere near the amount of time in that video. That person must be running Windows off floppy disks or something.

An interesting theory
NTSB report apparently is out on the Caravan that crashed in Burley IA a while back. Our speakist Juan has an interesting theory on a partial cause of the accident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWCkzJEpcnw Report (PDF): https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestRepo...

Re: Checklists, procedures, rules...
I suspect in that individual's case, the helmet strap is unnecessary... the helmet is kept firmly in place by his animal magnetism.2) Your helmet strap is loose. This thread is titled checklist, procedures, rules for God's sake!
