Road safety in Spain - an investigative journalism need:

Just how are the police, state prosecutors, judges, lawyers & insurance industry finding it so easy to ignore the causes of pedestrian deaths?

Why is the system seemingly determined to not learn from them?

Bravo @BBCJoeInwood @BBCNews @bbcmundo for the amended wording:
"But [#Venezuela], which has long suffered from poor governance and US sanctions, needs help...", versus the earlier: "suffered from poor governance and corruption", with no mention of the all-too-crucial #sanctions.

Last week, Anthony Fauci notified us he will NOT voluntarily testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, even though he had previously agreed to do so.

Therefore, today I have issued a subpoena requiring him to testify before the Committee, in public, next month.

Attention Airbus 321 Pilots !

Ever since the advent of the 321 Neo, we've seen a spate of dramatic landings.

Hard ones, long ones and the more than occasional tail strike.

She came with a modified flare law which got activated 1 second after passing 100' RA.

The airplane didn't pitch down either, unlike its predecessors.

https://t.co/jG7RmcVS1U

For the longest time, Airbus maintained that the flare technique was the same as the shorter siblings.

However, in the latest update to the FCTM, the flare height for the A321 has now been modified to 40' instead of the earlier 30'.

Inter alia, the "actual" flare height depends on a variety of factors.

Let's quickly review the FCTM.

1) Compared to typical flare height at sea level for flat and adequate runway lengths, the flight crew needs to be aware of external factors that have an impact on the flare height, particularly:

‐ High airport elevation:

An increased altitude results in a higher ground speed during approach with an associated increase in descent rates to maintain the approach slope.

‐ Steeper approach slope
‐ Tailwind:

An increased tailwind results in a higher ground speed during approach with an associated increase in descent rates to maintain the approach slope.

‐ Increase in runway slope:

An increase in runway slope and/or rising terrain in front of the runway affects the radio height callouts until the runway threshold.

This can cause late flare inputs if the flight crew relies on those callouts to assess the height and start the flare.

This may also cause a visual misperception of being high.

2) The weight of the aircraft has a direct impact on the VAPP.

Depending on the aircraft variant, the flight crew needs to anticipate the flare height for aircraft with higher weight and inertia.

Note: The cumulative effects of any of the above factors combined for one approach will require the anticipation of the flare maneuver.

If the flare is initiated too late, then the pitch changes do not have sufficient time to enable the necessary change to the aircraft trajectory.

Late, weak or released flare inputs increase the risk of a hard landing. For a stabilized approach, the flare height is around 30 ft for A318/A319/A320, and around 40 ft for A321.

A flare in time, saves a 2.9 (g).

A big thanks to Capt @MohitBiala for bringing this to my attention a few weeks ago.

SO important, this hiatus in human evolution & civilisation, no less!
We MUST fully understand and learn from it, so that when it happens again, in whichever guise, we are ready to see it.

It is impossible to escape the impression that major English-language news outlets (NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, Guardian, and BBC) and science news outlets (Science, Nature, and Stat) prefer that the public be misinformed--or at minimum uninformed--about COVID origins.

[Del Bigtree @delbigtree]

Marcello Foa was president of the biggest media agency in Italy.

A few days ago, I sat across from him in a studio there and heard his story firsthand. The moment he started raising questions about vaccine safety, it was over. He had a career he built over decades, a title that should have insulated him from almost anything, and none of it mattered once he started asking the wrong questions.

This is not happening in one country. It is not a coincidence of local politics or individual grudges. I am watching the same pattern play out across Europe, and the mechanism is invisible. Someone with enormous reach simply stops being allowed to have it.

Who holds that power?? And why are we not demanding an answer?

Very significant if the latter.

@LiuFeng_Dao Excellent sourcing.

[Dr Steven Quay @quay_dr]

Today The Lancet retracts a 1977 report saying asbestos in talcum powder was safe, based on improved "scientific integrity" in 2026, because their was no conflict of interest declaration.

That's not the reason.

The safety of talc powder was knowingly untrue in 1977.

The paper should never have been published in 1977.

By 1977 the evidence of a relationship between asbestos and a rare lung cancer, mesothelioma, was 42 years old.

1935: British pathologist Steven Gloyne suggested a link after finding asbestos fibers in the lungs of patients with pleural tumors.

1943: German researcher H.W. Wedler published a study showing a connection between asbestosis and mesothelioma.

1960: Dr. J. Christopher Wagner published a study detailing 33 cases of mesothelioma connected to a South African asbestos mine, confirming the link beyond reasonable doubt, as noted in this Mesothelioma Center article.

1964: Dr. Irving Selikoff's study in the US further cemented the link, publishing data linking insulation workers with high mesothelioma rates.

As a scientist who once revered one of the oldest medical journal, The Lancet (started in 1823), I cannot tell you how sad and disappointed I am with this journal and its current editorial staff.

Talc-based baby powder entered the market in 1894 and was only completely withdrawn from the market worldwide in 2023.

If you want to know why trust in institutions is so low, saying a potentially cancer-causing powder was okay to dust on our little babies for over 100 years is a good example.

Powerful words from chief rabbi Ephraim Mirvis on @BBCRadio4's News at 10:
"We within the Jewish community will always continue to embrace the value of life, to protect it, to uphold it."
Touching, truly, that "always" must encompass eg Palestine, as well as human life generally.

@JustinOnWeb @BBCr4today, you left unchallenged a crucial point by Ezra Cohen, clearly keen to shoe-horn justification for the war, cf @joekent16jan19's resignation.

He cites (08.14) Trump's "[decision] to respond to #Iran's offensive actions against the US".
Which, @EzraACohen?
