>Left throttle!>Left, left, left, left, left, left, left!>EVERYBODY STAY IN BRACE!>GOD-I have a feeling the CVR audio we have isn't the actual audio. The ATC audio and CVR audio both have the GPWS warnings, but the ATC audio has five whoop whoops, and the CVR has only four. Also, the actual CVR transcript document has never been released in its entirety.

>>1585013The two pictures of a train hanging from a bridge are from a derailment in Kokrajhar, Pooland, I'm sure you can google more info
>>1584958:o That looks like a seriously smashed in front end of an M62 Loco, doubt anyone in the cab would've survived it:(
>>1585072Why is there a trainwreck on top of a whale statue?
>>1585217Because the train wrecked and ended up on top of the whale statue.
>>1585121The conductor and his assistant jumped out of the locomotive before the crash and both survived.
>>1585013The black and white photos were taken on the 23 rd of December, 1968. The disaster happened near Mende, Hungary. A passenger train (with the steam loco) was mistakenly sent to left track, and collided frontally with an oncoming freight train. 43 people died in the disaster, because one of the freight cars jumped into the air and fell on a passenger carriage.The responsibility of the crash lies with the dispatcher and the crew of the passenger train. The dispatcher selected the wrong track in the interlocking system. The system knew that the oncoming track has traffic, but the dispatched thought it was having a malfunction so he overrode the system. In this mode they can only give "call signal" to the trains, which means they can go past the signal with no more than 15 km/h. The crew of the passenger train ignored the speed restriction and passed the signal going 40 km/h. Due to the evening dusk, the crew of the freight train realized that the passenger train is on the same track as them only when the distance between them was 3-400 metres. The train engineer of the freight train shut down the engine and the diesel pump and jumped out before the crash.
>>1584936Holy shit, underrated
>>1585240By the way, the name of the sculpture is "Saved by the Whale’s Tail"
>>1566153Iirc that was a cargo jet, so only the crew, but yeah, they’re fine anon... they just moved to a nice farm upstate
>>1585072>>1585240A work of art.They should just leave it there to be honest. Fasten it to prevent it from slipping off and pretend it was always meant to be there.
>>1584868>and then a fucking Airbus smashes into your house... just because rookie burger thought he was in a cessna and couldn't cope with glorious european rudder
What was the endgame here?

>>1596482Driver missed a red light and ATC wasn't installed, if it was even invented. ATC had first alerted the driver and then hit the brakes. He then ran into another train on a single-track section.
>>1564260>In the Pan Am cockpit, nose-to-nose with the still unseen, rapidly approaching interloper, there’s a growing sense that something isn’t right. “Let’s get the fuck out of here,” Captain Victor Grubbs says nervously.>A few moments later, the lights of the KLM 747 emerge out of the grayness, dead ahead, two thousand feet away and closing fast.>“There he is!” cries Grubbs, shoving the thrust levers to full power. “Look at him! Goddam, that son of a bitch is coming!” He yanks the plane’s steering tiller, turning left as hard as he can, toward the grass at the edge of the runway.

>>1574463The insurance paid all that.
>>1606845>On 28 September 2020 a Swedish documentary was released which used underwater equipment to film the wreck. This investigation found a 4-metre hole in the ship's hull. This prompted the Estonian prime minister and foreign minister to meet with their Swedish and Finnish equivalents and announce that a "new technical investigation" would take place. The head of the Estonian investigation stated publicly that he believes this new information points to a collision with a submarine and that the hole could not have happened post-sinking.
>>1609303what the fuck happened there

>>1564214Is this the one where unsecured cargo rolled to the back of the plane? A good pilot should never trust their life on the IQ of the average ground handler.
>>1609357>>1607423>Recording of a single hole in the hull throws the entire previous official explanation outhttps://news [dot] err [dot] ee/1140442/head-of-ms-estonia-investigation-estonia-sank-on-collision-with-submarine (fucking spam filter)>All experts are in agreement that there is too much water for it to have come in from the sides of the ramp. But there is not enough water there for it to have come in from the opened ramp. If the ramp is open, 2000 tons would flow in a minute. There was 500-700 tons. Therefore, there was water on the vehicle deck. But it must have come in from someone else, not the ramp. And as we can see from the new footage, the tear reaches both the bottom and top of the vehicle deck. Meaning the hole - considerably smaller that an opened ramp - was where the water came from.>What should be done now with this information?>The wise don't rush (an Estonian idiom - ed.). I think the government should firstly sit down calmly and think deeply about the situation. And ask who we can trust at a time like this. And also think about how to win back the public's trust.>Let's go back in time. Everyone, who spoke of any kind of weapon smuggling, were ridiculed. It turned out in 2005 that there indeed were weapons transported. People speaking of a hole in the ship's hull all these years have been ridiculed. It was considered impossible. Now, 26 years later, we have footage of there being a hole.

The bigger photo had some more discernible features that I used to triangulate the location. PSA 182 was about 1-2 seconds from crashing here.

>>1616890>the railway network they'd destroyedlets be honest. Railtrack was shit, however the railway was already destroyed from way before. Its just that public companies can hide problems better.
>>1627481Pre-Railtrack British railways had plenty of problems (as comes with being stuck in the Victorian era) but "the tracks are literally breaking underneath the trains and we have no way of knowing how many times it could happen again because we sacked nearly everyone who knows this sort of thing" wasn't one of them.
