They’re extremely similar, Romania has a slightly lighter blue, but they’re both blue, yellow, and red vertical tricolors. Romania used to be more distinct, with a coat of arms in the middle, but that was removed after the fall of communism. Chad has complained, as they had the flag first, but Romania hasn’t done anything. Maybe this will prompt the new president to do something.
Specifically, this is on the Fredric Douglas Tunnel project in Baltimore, an attempt to replace an 150 year old tunnel that’s become a major bottleneck on the Northeast Corridor.
Similar to what happened in 1958, when a Taiwanese F-86 fired an American-made AIM-9 Sidewinder at a Chinese MiG-17. The missile hit the MiG, but failed to detonate. The MiG landed with the Sidewinder still lodged in it. The USSR was able to buy it off of the Chinese and reverse engineer it, putting their version into production as the K-13.
The Ankh-Morpork League of Temperance* has been petitioning the Patrician for months trying to get a vampire onto the City Watch. The Campaign for Equal Heights and the Fresh Start Club have already gotten dwarves and zombies onto the force, so it’s only a matter of time.
They’ve sworn off the red sticky stuff, oh deary me, yes.
The procedure when doing a carrier landing is to go to full throttle as you touch down. It may seem counterintuitive, but the idea is if you miss all the wires, you have enough thrust to get back into the air to go around and try again. If you catch a wire, they’re designed to stop the plane at full power. I’m curious what went wrong here to leave the plane short of the necessary power to get airborne again.
I’m thinking specifically of People magazine. With paper magazines, the time to print and distribute come into play. If they had waited until after, the article wouldn’t have hit store shelves until late mid February, after it was most relevant.
