Today I Learned (TIL)
You learn something new every day; what did you learn today?
TIL that due to the way a rotting apple releases ethylene (which accelerates rotting), one bad apple really does ruin the whole bunch
TIL on 9/11, despite security telling people to stay, Aon executives began evacuating their employees and thus saved 924 lives.
The only picture ever taken of Concorde flying at Mach 2 (1,350 mph). Taken from an RAF Tornado fighter jet, which only rendezvoused with Concorde for 4 minutes over the Irish Sea: The Tornado was rapidly running out of fuel, struggling to keep up with Concorde at Mach 2.
pperca: The Concord makes me proud of human engineering. Such a pity it couldn’t continue to fly.
Eps_ilon: 1350 mph equals 2172.614 kph if anyone else uses kilometers.
Sylvester_Scott: How cool would it have been for an SR-71 to pull up behind it…then leave it in the dust.
