Demonstrators told to disperse, one side followed instructions and one side didnt

2018-08-11 17:58:45 UTC  

They say that no one died and less than a minute later say "they (the protestors) could have been killed"

2018-08-11 17:58:54 UTC  

"Could" being the keyword

2018-08-11 18:02:22 UTC  

I could be killed every time I drive my car

2018-08-11 18:05:49 UTC  

At the very least the did include the part about demonstrators being told to disperse

2018-08-11 18:24:44 UTC  

Im not sure if this should go here or not but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRLhnm-iA38

2018-08-11 18:51:42 UTC  

Yeah, that video is infuriating. These people are either missing a chromosome or have one too many.

2018-08-11 18:58:21 UTC  

I saw the first video, the one the DA released, on tv

2018-08-11 18:58:41 UTC  

so this is an update for me

2018-08-11 19:25:51 UTC  

That airliner story is kind of sad...

2018-08-11 19:26:39 UTC  

Dude though his flight simulator game was enough

2018-08-11 19:27:01 UTC  

He thought he was going to come back and land and be offered a job

2018-08-11 19:27:07 UTC  

I mean... It may have been. He might've been able to land it.

2018-08-11 19:27:49 UTC  

Good luck getting anyone to trust you flying their planes after behaving that way though

2018-08-11 19:27:55 UTC  

Oh, yeah, I know.

2018-08-11 19:28:29 UTC  

His games he was able to do loops and barrel rolls

2018-08-11 19:28:40 UTC  

He actually did a loop.

2018-08-11 19:28:46 UTC  

Told the tower he was going to do a barrel roll

2018-08-11 19:28:58 UTC  

only did a looptheloop before crashing

2018-08-11 19:29:18 UTC  

someone played too much Starfox as kid

2018-08-11 19:30:05 UTC  

A barrel roll, provided there aren't any sensors preventing it in the system, is likely possible in a plane, with enough speed and altitude.

2018-08-11 19:30:24 UTC  

He pulled off the loop the loop

2018-08-11 19:30:33 UTC  

Engines almost stalled though

2018-08-11 19:30:37 UTC  

That very well may have been sheer force of will.

2018-08-11 19:30:45 UTC  

It wouldn't be the engine that stalls.

2018-08-11 19:30:57 UTC  

Article said that the angle coming out of it

2018-08-11 19:31:16 UTC  

the reporter likely doesn't know what 'angle of attack' means.

2018-08-11 19:31:16 UTC  

Facing nearly verticle

2018-08-11 19:32:00 UTC  

An airplane stalling is not the same as an engine stalling

2018-08-11 19:32:05 UTC  

although one can lead to another.

2018-08-11 19:32:53 UTC  

If your engines go out with wings intact, your best bet is to take a lower-than-horizontal angle of attack, so as to preserve your speed.

2018-08-11 19:33:28 UTC  

Bleh, I'm forgetting some of my pilot's knowledge, since I don't use it in my line of work

2018-08-11 19:34:20 UTC  

*Resorts to the PHAK*

2018-08-11 19:34:36 UTC  

Want to make sure I get the term right

2018-08-11 19:36:22 UTC  

Essentially, 'stall speed' is the point at which a plane cannot generate lift.

2018-08-11 19:37:01 UTC  

Specifically, it refers to the speed of the air flowing under the wings, and not the speed of the plane.

2018-08-11 19:37:26 UTC  

For this reason, planes actually take off and land into the wind, because they're able to achieve lift or make landings at lower speeds.

2018-08-11 19:38:31 UTC  

a 20 mile per hour direct headwind means you can cut 20mph off your stall speed. A 20 mph tail wind adds that to your stall speed

2018-08-11 19:39:29 UTC  

I'm not sure if he necessarily meant that he played flight sims specifically, or if he was just talking about flying in games like GTA

2018-08-11 19:40:11 UTC  

(given that he was able to actually take off, it's likely he DID play a lot of flight sims...)
