On August 2, 1971, near the end of their final excursion on the Moon, Apollo 15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin placed a memorial plaque on the lunar surface in honour of 14 deceased astronauts and cosmonauts. Beside it, they placed a small aluminium sculpture known as the Fallen Astronaut.

The plaque bears the names of Charles Bassett II, Pavel Belyayev, Roger Chaffee, Georgi Dobrovolski, Theodore Freeman, Yuri Gagarin, Edward Givens Jr., Virgil Grissom, Vladimir Komarov, Viktor Patsayev, Elliot See Jr., Vladislav Volkov, Edward White II and Clifton Williams Jr.

The Instant Before Impact

On August 3, 1967, Japanese photojournalist Hiromichi Mine captured one of the most haunting images of the Vietnam War. A U.S. Air Force C-7 Caribou, serial number 62-4161, had been approaching the Special Forces camp at Ha Thanh in Quang Ngai Province when it crossed the trajectory of a 155mm artillery shell fired by an American battery.

The shell struck the rear fuselage and tore away the aircraft’s entire tail section. Mine’s camera froze the Caribou in its final seconds—the main fuselage rolling toward the ground with its landing gear still extended while the separated tail, marked with the squadron code “KE,” fell behind it. The aircraft had been carrying ammunition to the isolated camp.

All three airmen aboard were killed: Captain Alan E. Hendrickson, Captain John D. Wiley and Technical Sergeant Zane A. Carter. The tragedy led to tighter coordination between artillery units and aircraft operating over the battlefield. Copies of this photograph were later displayed in Caribou briefing rooms throughout Vietnam as a warning of the dangers created when aircraft and artillery shared the same sky.

The photograph made the crash famous. We remember the three men inside the aircraft.

Poca gente sabe esto, pero Danny DeVito y su compañera Rhea Perlman compraron los derechos de la película “Matilda” en 1994.

Pues bien, resulta que durante la 1ª semana de rodaje de la película, la madre de la actriz Mara Wilson, la niña que encarnó a Matilda, Suzie, enfermó de cáncer.
Danny y Rhea cuidaron de la niña, mientras su madre estaba hospitalizada, como sus verdaderos padres, preocupándose por la atención y necesidades de Mara, así como llevarla al Hospital a visitar a su madre.

Desgraciadamente, ella falleció antes de que la película llegara a estrenarse en cines, pero algo maravilloso ocurrió.

Años después, en un precioso acto de bondad, se supo que Danny con una copia en VHS, aún no terminada de toda la película, se la llevó a la mamá de Mara para que pudiera verla en el hospital. Y no solo eso. Trás la muerte de ella, cuidaron de Mara siempre, porque no le faltara de nada.

El ser humano es maravilloso por cosas así❤️
¡Viva el cine!🙌😎

Boeing 707 low pass at Mashonaland Flying Club Air Day in Harare Zimbabwe back in 1995. First pass was around 400 knots at extremely low altitude followed by a second slow pass at 125 knots with flaps 40. Seeing a jet that size moving that low and that fast is unreal.

Two F-14 Tomcats from the USS Nimitz mix it up with a couple of Mitsubishi Zeroes in the beloved sci-fi movie 'The Final Countdown.' The film imagines the nuclear powered aircraft carrier being thrown back in time to the eve of Pearl Harbor. It was released on this day in 1980.
