POPSFlying Too Slowly When I first heard about airspeeds, I believed the investigators and Airbus personnel were discussing too high an airspeed for penetrating bad weather. Above the Design Maneuvering Speed, but stalling? I heard about a phenomenon called a 'high speed' stall. This involved Learjets or some similar corporate jet at high altitudes. Anyone know about this?

POPSBomb Theory Remains Alive As always, the bomb theory is always on the back of everyone's minds, whether we admit to it or not. Satellite data has already shown that storms were sending 100mph winds straight into the Airbus's path at that time. Ten minutes later, the plane sent a burst of automatic messages, indicating the autopilot had disengaged, the flight-control computer system had been switched to alternative-power and controls needed to keep the plane stable had been damaged. Three minutes later, automatic messages warned that two other fundamental systems that monitor air speed, altitude and direction had failed. Then came a cascade of electrical failures in systems that control the main flight computer and wing spoilers. The last message came at 11.14pm, indicating loss of air pressure and electrical failure. The newspaper said this could mean sudden depressurisation, or that the plane was already falling into the ocean. http://lakotahope.blogspot.com

POPSComedienne Explains Jail Escape by Two Convicted Killers How bloody inconsiderate of them taking the car so that dogs couldn't sniff them out ( as in the old movies, I suppose she means). Why can't helicopters be used to follow the car, or whatever. Horses may look a little silly chasing a 100mph car.
