@LRTenglish Disturbing to see Lithuanian students fall for a Soviet-style influence operation. Demonising Israel, silencing dissent and enforcing ideological conformity were classic KGB tactics. Lithuania paid dearly for Soviet propaganda. Seeing a new generation reproduce it is sad.
@B777200F The shut down engines also limited the speed which could have induced a catastrophic structural failure just from overspeed.
However, windmilling engines, especially at this speed would still provide enough hydraulic flow to make a difference.
@PilotvsMachine@EYakoby No. A cup of water measures effective acceleration, not whether the nose is pointing down. A plane can be pitched downward without the water spilling. We’re not talking about 60 degrees nose down, “captain”.
