Our intelligence community doubts the Chinese explanation - a weather surveillance balloon gone awry - but we will only know the true answer when the platform is recovered.

... a 13-year-olds birthday gift was just shot out of the sky. 

10-year-old's. For their 13th birthday, they usually are getting RPGs.

So the 13 year old used his birthday present to shoot down the 10 year olds birthday present? Talk about sibling rivalry.

[YitzyS]

So the 13 year old used his birthday present to shoot down the 10 year olds birthday present?

No, the 13-year-old dreams of using his birthday present to shoot down the Israeli plane carrying the 10-year-old descendants of his great-uncle Yitzchok

Talk about sibling rivalry.

These near miss stories are happenning way to often

Please stop calling them near misses. That means they collided but almost didn't.

simulation, but looks real.

This is video from the FedEx - Southwest runway incident from last week.

If this doesn't make you tense up and cringe nothing will. The people on that SouthWest flight have no clue how close to death they came.

Ouch!


What was actual visibility like then? The audio is actual or also a simulation? What does "thank you for the professionalism" mean at the end... 

Looks like it was about a week since the incident, any updates? Or wait forever for the investigation?

amazing skill by fedex Pilot aborting 150 ft from touchdown!
