So, now we're giving Uber police powers? It at a minimum is a crime using telecommunications, making it federal, add in credit cards and again, federal. So, plenty of authority there to be actually finding the actual origin of the call. From there, it can escalate as needed and even for "an Indian call center", they're a friendly power that enjoys a good relationship with our government, so extradition is likely. Well, unless India really wants to change their national language to Chinese...

@Tyler-vw9bh it is experimental in some specialized cases of compartment syndrome and spinal cord injury, but the types that are experimental are highly specialized cases and researched in specialized facilities, progressing to animals only. More importantly though, why was there anything flammable within the chamber, as well as why was there an ignition source present within the chamber? Both are ultra-big no-noes in hyperbaric chambers of any sort. But, for ADHD and sleep apnea, nope, not even experimental.

As a hint, expect more, given RFK Jr's installation. :/ Ideally, such nonsense would not be permitted, but for the freedumb crowd, who know better than all of the physicians that take up to 20 years of study to become licensed in their fields.

@BelleWhittington that's one of the reasons many communities now require a concrete vault, to prevent coffins from floating out during heavy rains.

@Sir_Wellington oxygen isn't flammable, it provides oxygen to flammable things that have an ignition source to cause them to burn. So, the only real risk in a high oxygen content room is a modest overexposure to workers, which can cause irritation and of anything flammable igniting if exposed to an ignition source. Now, was the fire within the chamber itself or within the room containing the chamber?

@DBRisingbecause Airbus blows up turbulence in its path?

@ShellyCline yes, the infuriating part is, nothing within the chamber or room should've been combustible and most certainly no ignition source should have been present. I can think of absolutely nothing within the chamber proper that should've been an ignition source!

@ghtbe no, my bad though, something I ate disagreed with being eaten. Just clear air turbulence or flight exceeded maximum Mach. For CAT, there are procedures to get out of that mess quickly enough, it's harmless to the aircraft, but it can wreak havoc to unbelted passengers. Exceeding maximum Mach, that's grounds to tear their pilot's license up. Literally.

@Plutogalaxy the pool and pool usage logs still exist, as those pools are products that someone has to pay for. Laws introduced in the last handful of years added deeper, more in depth logging of that data and well, courtesy of certain US agencies, metadata and IP connection data is forever. Do you really want to argue about IT security with an Information Assurance professional?

@elreytriton you're obviously a stranger to the US, as the first thing one hears a cop say to a reporter is, "we don't comment on investigations". Hence, leaving the reporter to report what, that the cops won't comment?

I flew across the Atlantic many times over the decades, I always left my seat belt loosely fastened, just in case. Because, otherwise I might end up on the news in a story about mysterious shaking that the rest of the known universe refers to as clear air turbulence.

It most certainly was reported back then and even earlier. Google "Clear air turbulence", it's been known about since aircraft could approach jet streams.

@Lousasshol I don't need no stinking helmet - mine is built in. But, I'll continue to wear my seat belt during flight. The only thing more annoying than being awakened to wear it is bouncing off of the overhead, damaging the overhead.

I remember the last two Dyson spheres that were detected, their proper names remain asteroid belts, not solar energy collectors. For one example, in our solar system, even if we stripped out the Kuiper belt and asteroid belt, there isn't enough matter to build our own moon, so a Dyson sphere is totally out of the question. Ain't tripping the gas giants, not building a solid solar panel array out of gas. The rocky planets aren't enough matter to build one either. So, the mythical space aliens also have to crap out matter out of nothingness. And well, there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

I've tried to wear them when standing up, but that didn't work out so well and I've since managed to remember to disconnect my seat belt when getting up. ;) I'm also infamous for falling asleep by the time we hit cruising altitude until pretty much when we're on final approach, so yeah, I keep my belt loosely fastened always and secure it in turbulence or on takeoff and landing. And yeah, I've forgotten to pop the belt when awakening for a bathroom break... Left my wife chuckling a couple of times with, "Well, that's not gonna work!".

@smcdonald9991 just corporate muddying the water. Proximity to the jet stream is associated with clear air turbulence and if the pilot wasn't monitoring temperatures and immediately changing course away from the wind shears induced by the jet stream, they would end up in court being sued by passengers. There are two causes for such effects, neither mechanical. Clear air turbulence and there is a jet stream along their flight path or the aircraft exceeded its maximum allowed Mach number, both entering into the realm quite deeply for negligence. Control surfaces won't move the aircraft that quickly, too large a surface area change for the equipment to manage. If a pilot observes CAT, the pilot is supposed to check the air temperature gauges and move out of the temperature differential zone, thereby clearing the turbulence. Exceeding Mach, that's a major risk to the airframe and passengers and exclusively pilot negligence. Passenger aircraft aren't designed to reach Mach 1, they typically operate around 0.85 - 0.9 Mach. The flight recorders will tell the tale. A big tell is when the cockpit voice recorder gets "accidentally" overwritten after landing. In flight, yeah, that can happen, on the ground, more often than not it eventually comes out that the flight crew intentionally left it on after shutdown to ensure incriminating contents are "lost".

@nukestrom5719 uh huh, so given I live near an airport, I've obviously had Boeing jets raining on my home, huh?
1
@SeanHenderson-gn8if so, those 737-Max crashes were intentional and not software related and Boeing and the NTSB lied?

@amandas5261 amazing! You know more than even the investigators! So, what precisely were the instrument readings at the time the incident started? What control settings were input?

@hassiri just doublechecked, Pennsylvania is decidedly on earth.

@hassiri well, that sneeze killed 3 million globally and left 1.2 million more with protracted disease. Every Boeing jet could dissolve in mid-air and not come close to those numbers. And Pennsylvania has a Boeing plant that's doing fine thank you, flown in their birds myself many, many times in the military. Indeed, if those aircraft are so lousy, why is it that the Navy is still flying P-8's without a problem?

Do you actually want forensic data, which actually has been released? Got software signatures, specific indicators and more. Oh wait, you expect NBC News to offer forensic evidence in detail that'd anesthetize the audience. Gotya.

Wow, the quantum theorists are agreeing with Einstein again. What we experience as gravity is just mass telling spacetime to go get bent. Fundamentally true and well, factually, if fancifully stated. Just as, tell a star with 8 - 11 times the sun's mass to pound sand, it'll not last long, then get really, really loud - type II supernova loud.

Well, at least you admitted to it, for a change.

@MUGGINS761 OK, we'll ban the Constitution and its protections because you don't approve of the media obeying its presumption of innocence before any trials or convictions.

@clmBerserker who is Maby?

@Physics072 maybe you might of heard of this one, I know it's kinda new... Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. And you do realize that in 50 states, there are 50 different sets of laws and courts, do you not? You got the first part right about police and the last part about 24 minutes + commercials, but with current implementations and laws, IP calls are now being logged.
