If the left elevator is missing, pulling back on the stick is going to induce a rolling moment to the right. Maybe they should’ve pushed forward at first, stop the roll, power back, speed brakes out, gear down and start a slow pull out. If they knew.

When I heard about the Learjet crash, my immediate thought was the story that posted earlier in the day about the air defense system being installed around Mar-a-Lago. Could it have fired accidentally?
Then about two seconds later, I looked it up.

This idiot announcing the World Series screamed on every ground ball last night for 12 innings. He’s back at it
Is this the best that they can do?

The Flydubai Boeing Rudder sustained severe damage during the rapid descent that occurred today. The rudder suffered the damage because of the rapid, steep descent at high speed which put extreme aerodynamic loads on the it. The loads exceeded its design limits.
I am sure the pilot who landed this aircraft with a torn rudder had some serious challenge. The rudder provides yaw and directional control, so damage can reduce the crew’s ability to keep the aircraft aligned with the runway especially in a crosswind.
Thank God the aircraft landed safely and everyone is safe!

Beltran should never have been elected to the HOF. He was a slightly better than average player. The HOF used to mean something, the best of the best, generational. He was a cheater in Houston - remember - that is why you took the MGR job away?
The next five Mets games are on five different channels? Did I hear that correctly?
