Taking your job seriously is a sign of low intelligence

Here's why :

[𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒍𝒕 𝑶𝒇 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉 @Shadaya_Knight]

The easiest person to take for granted is usually the hardest to replace. Why?

Because they made loyalty look normal. Because they made consistency look normal. Because they made effort look normal

So normal that you start believing you can find that anywhere. That's why many people leave good partners NOT because they found better BUT because they assume that can be easily found

The person you get "bored" of is often the person you'll end up looking for in other people

If you have that person in your life, value them.

FAA Statement
The pilot of JetBlue Airlines Flight 948 reported striking a drone at approximately 3,000 feet altitude while on final approach to John F. Kennedy International Airport around 7:15 a.m. local time on Monday, June 29. A post-flight inspection did not reveal any damage to the aircraft. The FAA will investigate. Contact the airline for more information.

This information is preliminary and subject to change.

WATCH: Passenger captures his crash landing after the pilot made a forced emergency landing in the Brooks Range, Alaska, following a loss of engine power.

No injuries were reported on the Wright Air Service flight between Coldfoot and Anaktuvuk Pass on Monday, according to Clint Johnson, Alaska chief of the National Transportation Safety Board.

Two helicopter operators flew to the area, rescued the pilot and passengers, and flew them back to Coldfoot, where they are expected to be flown to Fairbanks, Johnson said.

Wright Air carries more than 40,000 passengers a year on scheduled flights to several dozen communities in Interior and northern Interior Alaska, according to the company’s website.

✈️ The Critical Engine: Why One Engine Matters More in a Twin-Engine Aircraft ⚠️

In a twin-engine aircraft, losing an engine is not only a loss of power, it also creates an aerodynamic challenge. ⚙️💨

When one engine fails, the aircraft experiences asymmetric thrust, making directional control more difficult, especially during takeoff and low-speed flight. 🛫

The engine whose failure creates the greatest control challenge is known as the critical engine. 🔑

❓ Why is one engine “critical”?

In many conventional light twins, both propellers rotate in the same direction. 🔄
This creates unequal aerodynamic forces between the engines.

If the critical engine fails, the remaining engine produces a stronger yawing effect, causing the aircraft to turn toward the failed-engine side. 🛩️↩️

The pilot must use more rudder input to maintain control , especially when airspeed is low. 🎛️

🧩 What makes an engine critical?

🔹 P-Factor
At higher angles of attack, one propeller blade produces more thrust than the other, creating asymmetric thrust. ⚖️

🔹 Torque Effect
The rotating propeller creates a reaction force that affects aircraft movement. 🌀

🔹 Accelerated Slipstream
The operating propeller increases airflow over part of the wing and control surfaces. 🌬️

🔹 Spiraling Slipstream
Rotating propeller airflow can strike the tail, influencing yaw control. 🌀➡️🛩️

Together, these effects can make the failure of one engine more challenging than the other on many aircraft. ⚠️

🚀 Modern exception

Some aircraft use counter-rotating propellers 🔄🔄.
By rotating in opposite directions, they balance aerodynamic forces and remove the traditional idea of a critical engine.

👨‍✈️ Why pilots train for this

Engine failures demand:
✅ Fast recognition
✅ Correct rudder control
✅ Proper airspeed management
✅ Good decision-making

Understanding the critical engine is not just theory , it is a key part of keeping twin-engine aircraft safe when an engine stops. ✈️🛡️

WATCH: CCTV shows the moment an Indian Air Force An-32 transport aircraft crashed while attempting to land at the Jorhat Air Force Station in Assam on Saturday.

Five personnel lost their lives in the accident. In a statement, the Air Force said it “deeply regrets the loss of five personnel” in the accident and assured support to the bereaved families during the difficult period.

Only 8 are certified to land at Paro Airport in Bhutan. As the plane tilted 45° between the mountains, I finally understood why.🫪

Ever wondered why mercury is banned on planes?

Because this is what it does to aluminium

🇲🇽 A content creator walked into a Sinaloa cartel training camp in the mountains of Badiraguato and filmed it.

El Chapo's backyard. Underground. Active “Sicario” recruitment.

"Never-before-seen access," they're calling it.

2 questions though:

How do you get that access without cartel approval?

And if the cartel approved it... why?

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Two private pilots flying a tiny Piper PA-28 from Florida to India got caught in the middle of the U.S-Iran war.

Mid-flight, they were intercepted by U.S fighter jet near the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier group.

They could hear the warnings… but the jets couldn’t hear them back.

Imagine flying a little single-engine plane through a live war zone, low on fuel, getting buzzed by American fighter jets next to a nuclear carrier, while entire countries are shutting down their airspace around you.

Absolute madness, but thankfully, they made it to India safely.

Here's a few important points before I go to sleep:

1. Iran won the war. The terms of the ceasefire they shared give them control of the Strait of Hormuz, charging $2M per ship, pocketing $100 Billion a year.

Those numbers are wild!

And on top of it, the ceasefire proposal includes the lifting of all sanctions

Remember, one could say Iran has been in a state of war for decades due to the crippling American sanctions, and now this is all coming to an end

2. Trump did the right thing pulling out, not listening to the lunatic war mongers around him, and not listening to anyone in the Israeli lobby that may have wanted the war the continue.

As I said earlier today, a good leader knows when to walk away

3. I am not surprised we have a deal, I've mentioned it all day, as Trump's posts made it obvious to me he was pressuring Iran for some final concessions before accepting his off-ramp

4. Trump will twist this into a win, and his diehard supporters will believe him. This is a GOOD thing, as Trump no longer needs to militarily try to get a 'win'.

As I've said earlier in the day, Trump can (and just did) create his own offramp.

5. The Middle East will never look the same. I expect the Gulf to gradually normalize relations again with Iran, which started after Israel's strike on Qatar.

Also the balance of power will drastically shift away from Israel, and this may have massive positive implications on Lebanon, Syria, and possibly even Palestine.

6. China is the BIGGEST winner, as Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz means China is indirectly controlling it

7. Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz is a generational strategic loss for the U.S., and a risk to the dollar dominance (Iran can chip away at the Petrodollar)

8. Hezbollah will come out stronger from all this, possibly more powerful than it has been in decades (unless the deal involves Iran disbanding their proxy network)

9. I'm exhausted and need to sleep. Below there's some more info on my stance over the past 24 hours, as well as how we broke the story of a ceasefire almost an hour before any media outlet and Trump's post.

Good night everyone!
