Never knew these existed at all until the gorse fires uncovered #8 in Wicklow last week.

I like the idea of that but (a) weren't most bombing raids at night and (b) what was stopping the British putting up such signs on Anglesey (or wherever)?
Would they reasonably know they were doing such things? serious question.
Every country should do that so it looks like a proper Atlas.
Entire towns lighting was re-created in order to try and confuse Jerry during night raids so it's entirely possible that other stuff like this was done.
US spy takes photos of 50's Soviet Russia then leaves them in a cupboard for 60 years.

Cheers for that, very interesting.
Nothing particularly new, but interesting nonetheless.
I never pair my socks and today I randomed into a matching pair. What are the odds.
I watched that video a couple of weeks back and was fascinated it by it. Whoever was at the controls knew what they were doing.
Can't beat a good documentary about real-time events
I, too, enjoy the daily news.
I'm sure I read a long article recently about it which basically said the pilot killed the air pressure to knock everyone out then basically flew the plane for hours until he nosed it into the sea. Apparently had practiced it on one of the simulator games.
Unless it's the other Malaysian flight I'm thinking of.
You're right insofar as they found him practising the first part of the flight on his sim. The investigators didn't see this as a problem as he could've been using it as practice for a return to the airport.

This makes it sound like he had the whole thing planned out, though.
What else is worth watching on that level? Ive watched every 911 doc ever created
So, not only is Trent Alexander-Arnold's uncle the Man Utd club secretary, but his mum happens to be a yank.
The things you learn.
Wow, that is an interesting thing.
I'd love to have went down to Shannon today to see that Antonov 225.
Same here. It's such a massive bastard and it's not like I'll get to see a ship launch or something equally massive in my life.
The landing gear on the thing.
More wheels than a fucking train.
I read Lee Harvey Oswald's wikipedia article for laughs. You can see how the conspiracy theories took off. He's failed at every aspect of his working, military and political life. A complete and utter bombscare that you'd not think was capable of hitting a moving target at 100 yards. Especially given how he failed to hit a stationary one months before.
It's the first time I've really looked at the footage of the assassination in a while. You forget the second shot blows his head apart.
Yeah, proper grim. I remember seeing it at the end of the JFK film with Kevin Costner. Keep rewinding the VHS. Grim but fascinating at that age. I think the grainy'ness helpsed censor it slightly. You wouldn't want to see it in HD.
See, that would cast doubt on what watched had I not watched a video from a guy from the coroner's office. He said the body and head arrived separately. But then you also have the photo they released showing Kennedy's head intact with the exit wound from the first bullet through the neck.

It looks so much worse on the footage than the top of his head being blown off.

I watched a cartoon JFK doc about his shooting and it definitely sounds like a conspiracy. They even killed off Jnr and his plane too
Big fan of Red Dwarf's take on it.
I always think of that as well. In reality, I side with Occam's razor. Lee shot him because he was a relentless retard. Jack Ruby shot him because he was a Kennedy's #1 fanboy. The kind of wanker that shuts his strip joint down for 3 days of mourning over this.
Frank Sinatra's heel turn on the Kennedys and his ties to the Mafia is a great yarn.
After looking into the videogame crashes of 1977 and 1984, I've wound up on Texas Instruments' wiki entry.
Y'know, the calculator people. That also made computers until Commodore murdered them. They also made the Speak and Spell. And laser guided missiles. Diverse.
Being from a posh school TI-83 purchases were mandatory.
They were great because they ran better games than the Nokia 3330 at the time and games could be transferred via cable link.
I hope there's a point in Cold War history where someone sent out a coded message across the iron curtain using a Speak and Spell. Fuck it, I'll write that movie.
Between them Stanley Matthews, Peter Shilton, and Gianluigi Buffon have made a first team appearance every season since 30/31.
I wonder what the longest stint you could make with just two players is if one of them was that Japanese fella.
We don't need that Italian Sour Puss. We can use Teddy Sheringham to get us to 2015. #Brexit

After hearing about the Indonesian plane crash I've found out the 737-8 Max is just now back in service.
But we turned off the bit that made it crash.
I thought he was back then.
I always like seeing this. Russia really is so ouny compared to the map.
