Sinbad Is Found Alive, And Is A Nerd

I guess all the rumors about Sinbad being dead was a little premature, considering he's here talking about how he has Windows and OS X running at the same time. But what's amazing is that he's a complete Mac nerd, and really knows what he's talking about. Listen how he talks about Macs and virtual machines like a pro.

Sinbad has nerd street cred!!!

F-15 Brakes Apart At 18,000 Feet

This computer simulation is quite amazing, as it demonstrates a flaw that has been found in US F-15 Eagle fighters. The simulation is of the accident that broke apart the F-15 at 18,000 feet, when the forward fuselage longeron failed. Fortunately the pilot survived as his air craft came apart, and Maj. Stephen Stilwell only sustained a dislocated shoulder and his left arm was shattered.

The video above was provided by Boeing Phantom Works and said "structural failure of a US Air National Guard F-15C, caused by fatigue cracking of a forward fuselage longeron, slowed down to one-fifth the actual speed of the event!" This sounds like a simple explanation, unless you’re the pilot that has to change his pants after that encounter. The accident has grounded almost one third of the F-15 Eagles fleet.
