Been in that type plane many times...never an issue...

But like that pilot passenger...I know enough of jet performance to know some things from my Navy days...had one flight where there must have been something just a little off with engines...they were cycling up and and down...and I knew they were talking to ground mechs trying to figure out what is was to jump on it once landed...flight was fine...but knowing stuff can be a blessing and a curse sometimes...

And getting a pilot to get over a previous incident doesn't always end well...

Still, heck of a job putting a powerless plane down on hard ground with trees around and nobody perishing...

I remember the above video from long ago because a 'safety' feature on the plane over rode the pilot.
Some ice from the wings went into the engines and caused them to surge. The proper way to handle that is to reduce power. A new safety feature unknown to the airline and pilots sensed this and increased power to the engines and caused the crash. There was a way to disable the new safety feature.

Yeah, he tried throttling down...the system ignored him. It's the same thing with these so-called fancy "safety features" coming out in new cars every year...yeah, no thank you, anything that takes control out of human hands, especially skilled human hands...IMO is insane. You want robots flying planes? Go for it, leave me out of it!

I can't stand watching much of anything for any length...not just because of the poor offerings but because of the grotesque pandering to the fringes and proselytizing to deviancy, skin color and obedience in commercials...

Extrapolating from that noise would have you believe America is mostly black, gay, stupid and Marxist...

There is a free streaming channel Peacock. I watch it on roku.
There is a show American Auto. Season 1 episode 5 or 6? focuses in on races, genders, in an ad. Very funny as they try to pander to everyone.

There is a mini series on Hulu for free I think. Pam and Tommy. It is about the infamous sex tape and the story behind it.
So far so good. About Tommy Lee Jones and Pamela Anderson.Tommy Lee Jones had a carpenter working on his house, stiffed him, and would not give him back his tools. So the carpenter stole his gun safe with lots of guns jewelry, and a home made porno tape.......

I feel sorry for her. Tommy was a POS.

Watching Single Drunk Female on Hulu. So far so good.

Watched part of Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu. Different. Reese Witherspoon. 6 part series.
Intense.

Made me think of Reese. I like so many things she was in.

A scene from overnight delivery. I want to watch it again now. shot in MN.

I know so many lines from Freeway, a cult classic. Very foul mouthed.
The interrogation scene is a classic. I think it is taught in acting classes.I have seen other versions of it with acting students.
She shot a serial killer but no one believes her. In the movie her BF was black so she is not really a bigot but ... what a mouth on her.
short interrogation scene. classic.

Watching Wild at Heart on Acorn TV now. Many seasons, fiction supposedly set in Africa, White family. Pretty good; lots of animals, no homo, no sex.

Tommy Lee Jones is the grizzled old actor, from “The Fugitive”, “No Country For Old Men”, etc. Tommy Lee was the drummer for Motley Crue. Just a mild point of correction.

I watched Overnight Delivery on Amazon Prime. Had to pay. I liked it. I remember when they had Ayd Mill road shut down for filming some of it, at I 35E. Lots on MN locations used for filming.

Another episode of Pam and Tommy. Interesting to see the old computer and internet stuff. E.g. the lady does a search on alta vista.

Since I dumped cable I added a window antenna to bedroom TV. Works well. Hane a channel " The Crime Network" which I never heard of before. Anyway they have one show every nite- Locked Up Abroad- what morons. Last nite guy relocates to Saudi Arabia and what's he do? Bootleging wine and whiskey in a no alcohol country.

I have no cable but high speed internet and Roku to play streaming videos over my TV.
Many channels are free. Peacock is free with ads as is Hulu.

Also I never heard of the group Boney M back in the disco era. Now I am finding mash ups of dance videos of their song Rasputin. Why now for a late 70s group? The one below is 2017.

That's one of the actresses who was on Doughton Abbey.

Very striking. I am told she was on Godless. I am always impressed when actors lose their British accents for American TV. Then I am shocked when I hear them speak with their natural British accents.

I wonder why there is interest in this song now?

I finished Good Behavior.Very good. Intense toward the end.
Finished Pam and Tommy. About the sex tape. Well done.

I watched another episode of The Dropout, about Theranos. Very good. Amanda Seyfried is excellent. She always is.
In the real world Elizabeth Holmes was convicted on some charges and her former BF "Sunny", the former COO just began his trial. Her sentencing will be in the fall.

I watched much of Legends, about some undercover agent. Just OK.
All on Hulu.

Broke my 38 year streak of zero TV @ the recommendation of some church friends & watched 1 & 1/2 episodes of The Chosen, streamed to screen via iPad, lat night.

It isn't bad -- seems well constructed -- but I doubt I'll make it through an entire season -- watching TV just isn't a habit anymore.
