@asherbphotos@Booster_11@LaunchHeavenX Gulp, gotta take the other LT down :(
From the impact it looks main detonation event was closer to the engine bay.
Not looking good for BE 4’s
Surprisingly however seems much of the energy was shot away from the pad looking at the extend of damage to GSE
As an MSc in Chemistry, let me explain the issue of carcinogen emissions from the use of ethanol-blended petrol (e.g., #E10 or #E20 fuels).
Ethyl alcohol (ethanol), when oxidised, forms acetaldehyde (ethanal). Conversely, acetaldehyde (ethanal) when reduced, forms ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Note: In chemical nomenclature "-ol" is a suffix for alcohols and "-al" is for aldehydes.
When ethanol is consumed as an alcoholic beverage, it is metabolised in the human body into acetaldehyde, which is then further metabolised into acetate and excreted. However, acetaldehyde is a known toxic byproduct and is classified as a carcinogen. While ethanol itself is not inherently a carcinogen, its consumption initiates a chain reaction that can lead to cancer, particularly with heavy or prolonged consumption.
When ethanol is blended with petrol and burned in an internal combustion engine, the combustion process (oxidation) produces acetaldehyde as a byproduct due to incomplete combustion, as 100% combustion does not occur. The amount of acetaldehyde produced depends on factors such as engine type, combustion efficiency, air-fuel ratio, temperature, and operating conditions.
Thus, acetaldehyde formation is a recognised issue in biofuel combustion. While reports from NITI Aayog, the Petroleum Ministry, and the National Policy on Biofuels primarily focus on savings of more than Rs. one lakh crore, the health hazards posed by acetaldehyde, classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and highlighted by the Centre for Science and Environment, including risks of respiratory issues and cancer from elevated aldehyde emissions in urban areas, have been conspicuously ignored.
I sincerely hope that the government will reconsider the issue in its entirety.
Make this your must read for the day. We need to celebrate doctors like her.
This is the story of Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh, a paediatrician from Hyderabad, who fought for 8 years against sugar-rich drinks falsely marketed as ORS.
Her persistence led to FSSAI’s landmark order, protecting children and patients from misleading claims.
“These drinks had 10x the sugar WHO recommends, worsening diarrhoea and complications in millions of kids,” she explains.
Her 8-year battle changed the game for public health and children across India.
What is sad is that it took 8 years for the government and regulator to understand that these so-called ORS drinks were harmful to children. We need to have quicker public health reforms.
I came to the US in 2006 on a student visa. I completed my MPh and went on to complete a Residency & MD. While continuing to work as a physician, I went on to be triple board certified in Urgent care, Occupational medicine & Addition medicine.
I worked in rural America were most American doctors would not work and helped thousands of patients treating addictions, work injuries and infections.
After 19 years of being a doctor, I am still waiting in line for a Green Card. My current wait time is >10 years due to per country limits to be able to be eligible for green card while people who illegally come into the country by crossing the border get a free pass and go ahead of the line to get a green card.
It's crazy that there is so much hate for us Indians that do so much for the health of every day Americans. We never have or never will hurt anyone here and keep working hard despite being treated as trash by both national parties.
I know someday that the people who are currently hating Indians will finally understand how much Indians have contributed to America and also recognize us for what we do for this great country. Until then, we will just shut up and keep doing what we are doing, because that is what we do, no matter what. 😔

As we come to the end of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to reshare these photos of Ruby, at the beach, 2 weeks before her diagnosis
She’d been poorly for a few weeks & the various doctors we’d seen were sure her symptoms were due to allergies.

Hey @JaypeeHospital @jaypee_hospital,
I have been working for the last 6 months at your noida branch.
But suddenly one of your unit head Dr Sandeep yadav is mentally harassing me along with my colleagues.(1/n)
