Wow. Thanks for the link, Kate. Really hammered the server there, but I think I’ve got it all sorted out now. =)
It’s not often someone puts that much work and information into a post – you deserve the traffic.
Thanks – this was definately worth taking the time to read.
That was an excellent read, thanks for the link.
Thanks, Chris, & Kate for the link. As I mentioned in Chris’s commets, one of the dangerous things about our well-off society is that people become disassociated from the majestic complexity of our infrastructure systems. People are quick to point their finger at this particular problem or that particular problem, but a disaster is twelve little problems that happen in exactly the right order (in technology as in individuals as in societies).
Independent of all the political arguing at the margins, if we forget to maintain this infrastructure, the loss to our quality of life would be high indeed.
Just wanted to point out that in light of new information from the TSB, I have an new post with updated information on the touchdown point, aircraft weight and landing distance here: http://taylor.textamerica.com/details/?r=3020196
