President Zelenskyy on Maduro:
What can I say here? If this can be done to dictators, like that, then the United States of America know what they should do next.
The infamous Hurricane Hunters just had one of the wildest flights in history today.
Flying straight into the heart of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa, a Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules aircraft, call sign TEAL 75, was slammed by violent turbulence
The G-forces were so extreme they may have stressed the aircraft’s frame, forcing the crew to abort the mission and return to base in Curaçao for inspection.
Inside Melissa’s eyewall, the C-130J was thrown hundreds of feet up and down in seconds, nearly 700 feet of vertical motion within a single minute.
The crew also reported that the eyewall had a “sawtooth” appearance, an indicator of the storm’s chaotic and extreme structure.
Yet even amid chaos, the crew captured historic data, a central pressure of 893 mb and astonishing wind gust of 252 mph just above the surface, setting a world record for the highest wind gust ever measured by dropsonde in a hurricane.
The plane then spent more than 35 minutes circling inside the eye of one of the most violent storms ever observed in the Atlantic, searching for a path out of the hurricane that wasn’t filled with lightning and extreme turbulence.
These brave men and women risked their lives, without pay, to gather critical data that helped forecast the track and intensity of Melissa.
A legendary plane ride that will go down in history.
