@GamingHistorian Thanks Norman, I very much love your documentary video on Nintendo and the Super Mario series. Its relaxed production was very easy to view, and forgive me, almost therapeutic during some stressful times these past five years or so. I will miss your content and style. Thankyou.
47 years ago today, Bell Island was rocked by one of Newfoundland’s strangest events.
At 11:00 a.m. on April 2, 1978, a massive boom shook the island and was heard as far away as St. John’s, Harbour Grace and Cape Broyle.
The Bell Island Boom. 🧵
Two rednecks flew to Canada on a hunting trip.
They chartered a small plane to take them into the Rockies for a week of moose hunting.
They managed to bag six moose. As they were loading the plane for the return trip, the pilot said, “Sorry, the plane can only take four moose.”
The two guys objected. “Last year we shot six,” they said. “The pilot let us take them all, and he had the same plane as yours!”
Reluctantly, the pilot agreed, and all six were loaded.
The plane took off. But while trying to cross some mountains, even at full power, the little plane couldn’t handle the load — and went down.
Surrounded by the moose bodies, somehow only the two rednecks survived the crash.
After climbing out of the wreckage, Billy Ray asked, “Any idea where we are?”
Billy Bob looked around and said, “I think we’re pretty close to where we crashed last year.”
On March 10 & 12, Hydro will be testing the Labrador Island Link at 900 MW. There is a possibility of customer impact when testing. If there is an outage, we have supply to restore customers quickly (typically < 30 mins). We'll monitor the system and provide updates as we progress. Thank you in advance for your patience.
