- The photos released by the WH tonight of the president working at Walter Reed were taken 10 minutes apart at 5:25:59 pm and 5:35:40 pm ET Saturday, according to the EXIF data embedded in both @AP wire postings that were shared by the White House this evening.
- It’s hard to overstate how important of a moment this is in modern aircraft design. Almost 400 people aboard that A350 and all got out safely after sustaining heavy damage. A lot of analyses and small scale tests on carbon fiber just got a massive trove of new data.
- Out of curiosity, I found the first NYT reference to Adolf Hitler. Nov. 21, 1922. Amazing last three paragraphs.
- Replying to @jonostrower and @API’m sitting in Seattle and the timezone adjusted on the AP site by three hours, so 8:xx ET, rather. The time between the photos and the EXIF stamp on the AP wire is still 10 min apart.
- This is really something. Look at how the A350’s structure is reacting to fire. We haven’t seen anything like this with carbon fiber since the B-2 crash in Guam in 2008 — and the first time in modern commercial aviation.
- The things you see in Seattle while waiting for the light to change.

00:00 - I told the toddler that we could watch the SpaceX launch together, but she had to hurry and brush her teeth and get her PJs on to race the countdown clock. She did. This is @elonmusk’s greatest gift.
- Well that’s a f***ing extraordinary photo.Plane flying through totality in Arkansas! What a picture from Kendall Rust. #arwx
- We need to stop for moment and take stock of the abject evisceration of the Russian commercial aircraft fleet and airline market that is currently taking place.
- The FAA sent the following security notice to U.S. carriers, according to a U.S. airline staffer who received the message directly: “Last night a significant security event occurred on a US Air Carrier involving a validated jump seat passenger attempting to disable aircraftNEWS: Horizon Air crew diverts to Portland after an "authorized" person in the cockpit tries to shut down the E175's engines. themessenger.com/business/pilot…
- Someone in 2018 stole a commercial airliner from a major American airport.We are aware of an incident involving an unauthorized take-off of a Horizon Air Q400. We believe there are no passengers on board. More information as we learn more.
