Jasmine – a great story

In 2003, police in Warwickshire, England, opened a garden shed and found a whimpering, cowering dog. It had been locked in the shed and abandoned. It was dirty and malnourished, and had clearly been abused. In an act of kindness, the police took the dog, which was a Greyhound female, to the nearby Nuneaton Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary (go visit them), run by a man named Geoff Grewcock and known as a willing haven for Animals abandoned, orphaned or otherwise in need. Geoff and the other sanctuary staff went to work with two aims to restore the dog to full health, and to win her trust. It took several weeks, but eventually both goals were achieved. They named her Jasmine, and they started to think about finding her an adoptive home. Continuare →

Plane landing in Hudson river

Here is a re-creation (a takeoff to touchdown) of the USAir flight that made the emergency landing in the Hudson river, with ATC radio transmissions. It’s amazing how cool-headed the pilots and FAA people remain during the event. The animation is a bit outdated, but still interesting for those not seen it yet (By Scene Systems Inc.).

Re-crearea aterizarii in raul Hudson

Publicat: Autor:
Opinie

Ati auzit, citit si vazut cu siguranta maiestria pilotului american ce a salvat viata pasagerilor sai reusind o aterizare uluitoare pe raul Hudson. Aici aveti o re-creere (din momentul decolarii si pana a atins apa) a zborului cu pricina si a aterizarii de urgenta in raul Hudson, folosind transmisiunea radio ATC. Este uluitor ce minti limpezi au avut atat pilotul si copilotul dar si supraveghetorii de trafic de la FAA in timpul evenimentului. Animatia poate ca e invechita (s-a asternut uitarea peste eroismul acelui capitan de aeronava, desi nu s-a intamplat decat in urma cu doar 2 luni jumatate), dar cu siguranta este interesanta pentru cei ce n-au vazut-o inca.
