Flight 943 ditches in Pacific
Dave T sent me an email reminding me that about 56 years ago Pan Am flight 943 ditched in the Pacific Ocean. Watch the linked to video. And the next time you wonder what the Coast Guard does... well you will know!
Thanks for showing this video. Incredible heroism, so simply and expertly done, as if it would happen every day. The Coast Guards must have a terrific training. That's what we need to see on TV, real life drama instead of fiction History.
On two occassions we had the Coast Guard fly out and then fly along side as we returned to base. They weren't needed but I can tell you those guys were a comforting sight.
An Engineer is not a Scientist. He doesn't think like a Scientist. He doesn't have the same value-system in his judgments. But he's even more anti-mystic than the Scientist!
- John W Cambell, Jr - Analog Science Fiction Science Fact, December 1966
Which explains why many scientists buy into the man made warming hoax and many engineers reject it. Scientists want to know why and believe. Engineers want to build.
