  • The question I ask myself is: You have that much money,you have a private jet on standby, a large security detail.

    And none fucking thought about getting competent medical team or at least a fucking competent paramedic? I mean…I am generally unsympathetic amongst almost all billionaires, but as someone who has literally done VIP escorts as a critical care paramedic I wonder who fucked up that much.(But these were all “old wealth” and actually were not billionaires. And tbh they treated us with more respect than most members of the public do-that gives them at least some plus point)

    It’s not like Airway obstruction nor anaphylaxis is untreatable/isn’t absolutely manageable if caught early.

    Anyway, can we please get a fundraiser for the poor queen of that bee?






  • Wake turbulence requires something to cause the wake - usually another aircraft. Additionally wake turbulences autoregulate themselves - they don’t stay “in the air” but rather disperse rather fast, especially close to the ground. VAAH is a pretty small airport that has no continual taxiway(which they once had,for some strange reason) so aircraft need to backtrack(Basically go in the wrong direction on the RW, then do a U-Turn) at the end of the runway if they go for a take-off runway of RW23.This leads to a long time for any wake turbulence to disperse.

    Additionally the 787 is a mighty big aircraft and mostly wake turbulences affect aircraft that are smaller than the ones which caused it. (This is of course not fully accurate,but it gets complicated then) And the 787 is absolutely powerful enough to power through basically any wake turbulence.

    Last but not least there was not a starting aircraft directly before the flight but a (very small) landing one - so even more time for any wake to disperse.

    So in the end I would be pretty damn sure it wasn’t that.




  • Yeah, it’s rather strange. There is another one from a perspective where the aircraft almost “overflew” the cameraman (basically at a 5’o clock angle)- it shows them having aileron and elevator control right until they crash. And while the quality is poor, I am somewhat convinced that the RAT has not deployed (yet?)

    A bird strike would likely have caused something visible So it doesn’t sound like hydraulics or fuel(water in the fueltanks?) or something electronic wise with the engine control. Strange and sad.

    I am a paramedic for more than 2 decades now,but work in an office most days now. I have cared for (and in 2 cases declared death on scene) more people than I have fingers who fell off these. Besides two, neither of them was responsible for the fall.

    2 cases of a hydraulic rupture (which leads to the platform going down fast and uneven. The harness is also meant to keep you close to the platform so you don’t fall in between the elements.) 1 being raised stupidly,pushing a load onto their coworker(that was DOA) 1 fall due to being hit by a coworker with a part (DOA after 7m faceplant) And a fair share of units being hit by forklifts, trucks or similar things.

    … OSHA rules are written in blood. And often the victims are not the ones who caused it.



  • The admin basically ran it as a one man show with only one other admin who had very limited privileges. He then went on a “business trip” or workaction or longterm vacation - there were different stories. Anyway, the database went belly up, the other admin couldn’t do a thing and none could contact the admin. There are some rumours that he wasn’t who he claimed he was and actually was a Chinese national who simply returned home, but who knows that. As a matter of fact none had any meaningful contact with him for months then and it appears he did not return. (But is alive)

    A Austrian NGO who amongst others does host some mastodon instances,etc. took over and now feddit.org is on a very productive, professional and transparent level.
