I’m breaking character (briefly) to partner with @jonwalczak to share an incredible new film.

Jon has 32 new, up-close photos of 9/11 from a camera found in the rubble of the World Trade Center, taken by a mystery photographer — never published, until now.

"32 Frames: A 9/11 Mystery" is in theaters in NYC + LA from 8/28-9/3.

After 3 Weeks Of Digging, I Finally Got The British Companies Behind The First Carter Bridge in Lagos colony:

My research always pays off: See why I can’t stop doing these throwback research? Gives me joy.

So after weeks of going through old colonial records, I found the names.

The steelwork and iron parts for the original Carter Bridge in the Colony of Lagos were made and shipped in by the Patent Shaft and Axletree Company of Wednesbury, England.

That was the firm that supplied all the heavy metal for both the deck and the moving parts.

The bridge itself was designed by Messrs. Baker and Shelford, who were the consulting engineers at the time.

They drew up the plans and then the colonial government awarded the contract to British firms because almost all large engineering projects in West Africa then were handled from London.

The Patent Shaft and Axletree Company was already known for supplying ironwork to railways and bridges across the empire, so it made sense they got the job.

It opened to traffic in 1901 and cost £136,334 to build alongside the Denton Bridge. That was a huge amount back then.

The Carter Bridge had a 20-foot-wide roadway and a 123-foot swing span in the middle so ships could still pass through the lagoon. At that time people called it the biggest engineering work in West Africa, and it was the only link between Lagos Island and the mainland.

The Denton Bridge was part of the same deal. Same engineers, same funding, and same supply chain from Britain. Everything from the iron to the bolts came by ship and was assembled here by colonial engineers with local labor.

That’s why I keep going back to these old projects. The names, the money, the companies… once you trace it, you see how connected Lagos was to Britain even in 1901.

I have gone to meet my tutor to confirm the items they sent for me, she said these ones are okay but there are many things i will still need to buy as time goes on.

The good part of this is that the place is very close by so i wouldn't need to be jumping one vehicle or another, it's trek-able.

It won't be an easy one, sitting all through the day mehn, God is my strength 🙏.

Salut @KMbappe, demain c’est l’anniversaire de mon fils, Naor, qui parle en permanence de toi: tu es le meilleur, le plus fort, il imite tes célébrations de but sur toutes les photos (merci pour ça d’ailleurs). Pour lui tu as tout gagné.
Je rêve que ce message arrive jusqu’à toi (oui les miracles peuvent arriver) et que tu lui souhaites un joyeux anniversaire.

Il va avoir 7ans, et je sais que c’est une épée dans l’eau mais si j’arrive à faire ça pour lui, je serai la maman de l’enfant le plus heureux au monde. 🙏🤍

20 years old pilot. Here's where flying has taken me so far:

> 3x transatlantic crossings as Captain (PIC), single-engine piston
> Florida → India — ~13,000 km, PIC, no autopilot
> 2 oceans, 5 seas, 4 continents
> Snow landings on skis in the French Alps
> Greenland, Iceland, the Faroes, Arctic Canada, Egypt, the Middle East, UK, US
> Departed Oman 3 hours before it got hit during the US-Iran conflict
> Intercepted by F-18s near the USS Abraham Lincoln
> Oxygen failure + blacked out + hypoxia at 23,000 ft — and lived to write this tweet

FAA Commercial, FAA + EASA PPL, Instrument, Multi-engine, Tailwheel, High-performance & complex

Still feels like day one.

@odoabuchigift Your dm is not opened tho, maybe you can send hi

After searching for a place and someone whom could put me through a skill, i finally decided to go for tech design artist (nail 💅 tech)

I found a partially accessible place, and after talking with the lady, we agreed for 2 months, though she's a nursing mother, but we will try to cover up, she gave me lists of items to buy for the training for personal practicals..

There are a lot of items in that list, lots of money involved too,. Got some monetary assistance to help me purchase it, and finally the parcel is here.

I commit this phase into the hands of God Almighty, dear Lord, please grant me the strength, wisdom and knowledge to understand and master this skill, may my skill pave way to greatness for me in Christ's name Amen.

Waybill received, thanks so much to my vendor for delivering, i wasn't able to purchase everything in the list but i believe as time goes on, will get others one after another.

Have a blissful week ahead pals ❤️😊

Okay since the last post escaped containment, I should probably explain what the expedition is actually for 😂

There’s a major gap in high-resolution measurements across part of Antarctica, especially the Eastern region.

And that matters because predicting future sea level depends on understanding where the ice sheet gains and loses mass — how much snow accumulates, where the wind moves it, and how the ice itself flows.

So we’re turning a light twin into a tiny airborne observatory and flying radar + laser altimetry + multispectral imaging across that gap.

Some of what we’re looking for is wild:
— snow megadunes kilometers apart → radar underneath them to see how wind reshapes + redistributes centuries of snowfall
— the 1815 Tambora eruption layer → basically a 211-year-old timestamp buried in Antarctic snow
— missing surface-elevation measurements → precision laser mapping across places we still don’t measure well
— blue-ice meteorite zones → places where ice flow can concentrate rocks that literally fell from space
— buried layers + folded blue ice → clues to how the ice sheet itself flows, stretches + deforms

The question is: what is Antarctica gaining, losing, moving + preserving and what does that mean for the ice sheet we’re trying to model?

and Antarctica is only the main science campaign.

the plane is crossing all 7 continents so I’m opening the rest of the route to useful data collection too — sensors, atmospheric measurements, ground truth, mapping, hardware testing, weird experiments.

if I’m already flying somewhere difficult, I want the flight to leave useful measurements behind.

[Shannon Wong @realshannonwong]

I have until November to make a $600,000 expedition pay for itself.

I'm 20. I'm flying a sensor-equipped twin engine across all 7 continents solo, including the South Pole.

Everyone told me to find sponsors. I'd rather find customers.

Got a problem that requires physically going somewhere inconvenient? Satellite, mapping, weather, autonomy, defense, climate, comms, weird hardware — I might already be flying there.

The plane is going regardless. Might as well get paid for the trip.

DM me.

If it works, I keep building. If it doesn't, I go the conventional route — college.

Happy posthumous Birthday: 22nd August 1958: Baba Suwe would have been 68 years old today:

Baba Suwe (1958): The veteran comic actor and icon of Yoruba Nollywood, Babatunde Omidina (popularly known as Baba Suwe), was born on August 22, 1958, on Lagos Island.

Sadly he left this world 22nd Nov 2021.

May his gentle soul keep resting in eternal peace.

If or when I do it, I will fly you to anywhere in the world we do it. Don’t worry I got you. Thanks 🤍🐘
