@dirkvdberg68@aviationbrk Whenever this thing happens, (which is very rare ) It s usually caused by a landing gear shock absorber fault in conjunction with wheel nose wheel steering fault . I am an airbus 320 pilot but still not hundred sure since I haven’t checked aviation herald page .
EUROPE IS STARTING TO RUN OUT OF WATER
Something is happening across parts of southeastern Europe that doesn’t look real…
Relentless heat has pushed the Danube River to unusually low levels, exposing vast stretches of riverbed that should still be underwater. The drop has become so severe that crews have blasted rock from the riverbed to help keep water moving through one of Europe’s most important waterways.
Barges are struggling to navigate sections of the river, and the prolonged drought is beginning to affect the communities and industries that depend on it.
It starts with the water…
Everything else follows.

MH17: Worst airliner shootdown in history was 12 years ago
July 17 2014: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, a B-777, is shot down over Hirabve (Ukraine). All 298 aboard die. A criminal inquiry stated the jet was hit by a SAM missile fired from an area controlled by Pro-Russian Rebels.
The investigation was led by the Dutch authorities – over two-thirds of the passengers were from that country - who concluded that the missile system was traced to a Russian brigade that later returned to the country in the aftermath, as confirmed by earlier independent enquiries.
In 2018, the Netherlands and Australia held Russia responsible and initiated legal action, while Russia denied involvement. In November 2022, a Dutch court convicted two Russians and one Ukrainian separatist of murdering all 298 people on board, stating Russia had control over the separatist forces.
MH17 was Malaysia Airlines’ second loss in 2014 – after the disappearance of MH370 in March - and remains the deadliest aircraft shoot-down in history.
@Turbinetraveler As a pilot : Big ,important news from ground stations ( occ or Atc )about your private life during the duty , especially in flight , happy or sad doesn’t matter , is a risk to flight safety in regard of human factor facts .
The man who heals what medicine can't:
Dr. Gabor Maté.
This 80-year-old physician says true healing comes from nervous system regulation, not drugs or meditation.
Here are his 7 forgotten laws for ending chronic stress at the root: 🧵
Neil Degrasse Tyson reacts to life “Life Makes No Sense” and explains molecules
I heard a physicist say once “every drink of water you take, every pot of coffee you make, is dinosaur pee. Because all the water we have is all the water we’ve ever had..”
In 1572, this man watched Catholics and Protestants massacre each other in the streets. Instead of choosing a side, he asked one question and it changed Western philosophy forever.
That man was Michel de Montaigne.
And his question was devastatingly simple:
"Que sais-je?"
What do I know?
Everyone around him was certain they were right. Certain enough to kill for it. Montaigne watched this unfold and reached a radical conclusion:
Certainty itself was the disease.
So he retreated to his tower library and began the strangest philosophical experiment in history: studying the one subject he had direct access to:
Himself.
For 20 years, he wrote about his fears, his contradictions, his pleasures, and his failures. Not to appear wise. But to see clearly.
He called the project his "Essays."
"Others form man. I tell of him."
What he discovered shook Western thought ↓
Most of what you call "yourself" isn't really you.
The things we call natural: our values, our sense of right and wrong are almost entirely shaped by custom and upbringing. We didn't choose them, we inherited them.
What feels like instinct is usually just habit wearing a disguise.
And once you see that, you can't unsee it.
His motto wasn't a cry of despair. It was the most honest starting point for any examined life.
Because once you stop pretending you have all the answers, something surprising happens ↓
You become free.
Free to revise. Free to contradict yourself. Free to say: "I thought one thing at 30. I think something different at 50. Both were real."
He also rejected something most philosophers clung to, the idea that the body is beneath us.
Aging. Illness. Appetite. Friendship.
These weren't distractions from the philosophical life. They were the philosophical life.
Real wisdom isn't found by transcending ordinary existence. It's found by paying honest attention to it.
Pascal was shaken by him. Nietzsche called him one of the most joyful thinkers who ever lived. Emerson carried him everywhere.
All because he was willing to say: I don't have this figured out. But I'm looking.
In a world drowning in confident opinions, Montaigne's invitation is more urgent than ever:
Stop performing. Start examining.
Your contradictions aren't failures. They're data.
Your uncertainty isn't weakness. It's the beginning of honest thought.
Ask his question. Not once, but daily:
What do I actually know?
