Lots of groovy, funky instrumental stuff, most of it from obscure, cheap euro-sploitation movies of the 70s.
I say radio station, it's actually more of a 6 hour podcast on loop, but it's still great.
Sadly no track information seems to be available, which would be useful.
Personal highlight, one I think is called "Mini Killers", which is quite disturbing

Do older aircraft such as this get tested regularly? (an MOT if you will...) I'm curious... If not - why not? If it's not flight-worthy surely you are endangering the lives of people on the ground too, let alone yourself/passengers.
( , Wed 8 Aug 2012, 13:34, Reply)

Or rather should do. The CAA mandates the following check cycle for light aircraft (the FAA is probably similar but I haven't checked):
-Before the first flight of the day
-Every 50 hours
-Every 150 hours
-Annual inspection
The first in the list is a full visual inspection. Checking for panel damage, control surface operation, engine fluid levels, fuel contamination, instrument operation, lights serviceability, tyre condition etc.
The subsequent checks all go a lot deeper into things. The annual involves a full stripdown and inspection of the engine.
I don't know of any pilot who'd be comfortable getting into a plane they hadn't carefully inspected. It's a self-preservation thing...

NTSB's preliminary report: www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief.aspx?ev_id=20120701X65804&key=1
Thanks for detailing that for me, I guess it's even more stringent for helicopters with all those extra moving bits. I suppose things still fail sometimes.
I've read a lot of the comments regarding the crash above and it seems that it was a combination of overloading and air density. The altimeter says 6000ft before they take off.
This was one of the comments: As soon as the a/c leaved the ground effect (~Half Span of the a/c), the engine can't provide enough power to keep the a/c flying because of (supposition) High/Hot conditions or mass overloading.
As soon as they came in backside of the Power curve, there were already doomed...
Crashing straight ahead WAS the best option...
Here a footage of a similar crash which ended deadly because they went for a turn while loosing altitude/stalling: (skip to 06:00)

I filmed my trip up in a microlite once, I was shit scared the whole time. The pilot kept banking the microlite so that i could film the ground beneath us I was literally 90 degrees parallel with the ground held in by a seat belt and with only a bit of perspex between me and plummeting to the ground. The pilot even asked me if I wanted to take control of the plane "OH NONONONONONO NOOOO…!"

I was looking in to the earlier it seems that most countries count golds, if it even then they drop down to silver and then it that is still a tie then on to bronze. The merikans count total medals.

Doesn't look like either of the chaps in the video match that description...though I am squinting to see (not in a racist way).
Edit: in fact it definitely isn't. The only one who could possibly be Kun Liu is the one who drops the grenade...and he's obviously not mortally wounded at the end.
Plus the little chuckle from the cameraman would suggest that the incident wasn't as serious / unexpected as it seemed.

... in order for it to work, considering population growth would otherwise mean an eventual soul shortage, it'd have to be possible for the same soul to be incarnated more than once at the same time -- so you could be reincarnated at a time before you last died. So it could still work.
Reincarnation's already pretty outlandish, so I figure it doesn't stretch credibility that much further to assume it happens "outside time", as it were.
Taken to its extreme, this could mean that everyone in history is an incarnation of the same soul.
If reincarnation is a "thing". Which it probably isn't.
