    In case anyone is interested , the nosewheel well on the B777 is not monitored for fire but the main wells are.

    You can find that shit (and more) here...

    how common is a nose wheel fire during take off? I thought that shit happened more often during landings?

    I see MH370 in there too! Case closed, call off the search.

    I've read over the last few years that there are these floating collections of trash out in the oceans that some say are "bigger than the state of Maryland". Have they found any of them? Or is that just more biased bullshit?

    Garbage patches aren't as apparent as you might think mostly consisting of small particles of plastics and other polymers that have broken down to some degree. Also there are slicks of chemicals collecting in the same area.

    People often picture a floating landfill when they think of it, but that's not quite what it is.

    confusing an A380 with a B777 would be more like a CNN story.

    'oh yeah there were lithium batteries in the cargo hold'

    Guess the fire theory gets another boost.

    Captain Obvious checking in.

    So, it's true. CNN is now 24/7 this.


    Which is bizarre, right? Because this, so far, is basically nothing.
