Not for airplanes, as the fossil fuel burns away, so the total plane weight get significantly lighter at the end of its journey (sometimes half the weight).
I'd think for an airplane it would be have to be at least x1.5 the density.
(IANAAE... nowadays, but i trained as an Aerospace Engineer last century
The part you missed, before ranting on, was all mobile was off, voice, and your SMS. Different type of event that day, mobiles off to stop any other attacks.
The internet was up - you know you can use the internet without mobile networks right?
I lived in London in 2005 when the terror attacks happened there, and my morning commute took me through kings cross. That day with the mobile network switched off, it was hard to let people know I was ok, know if my girlfriend was, and many other people I knew took. Sure there was landlines to call direct if you knew where people were, or email as a bit of a broadcast I'm ok, but something like this would have been far better.
Is it just me or when did "mn" surpass "m" for million? "100mn pedestrians" looks like it should be a measurement in milli-newtons per pedestrians - I'm sure the imperial equivalent is slugs per servants.
Actually, for me, well I too had an early iPod, then gf a mini, then the 1st genNano (still my favorite - awesome size, weight, function, etc), a 1st gen iPhone, the a replacement Nano 6th gen, but when the time came to replace the dead iPhone... Well I had a choice, iPhone, or iPad & boring old phone. I went iPad 3G, and really it's a brilliant bit of kit, far better for commuting on trains etc for reading.
I too had a laptop (1st gen Air - a long list of Mac kit either side), but I found I didn't use the Air any more... So I sold it, replaced with a mini, screen, etc, and haven't missed it at all.
So yeah, it's had not to lust after the next shiny apple thingy.... But the iPad is really a great piece of kit - even better than that newton 2100 I had (although that had replaceable batteries at least! But it's corners we're way to pointy)
Actually, I a particularly English way, there is a separate force, City of London Police, for the City. But the City is quite small, and apart from St Paul's you'd be lucky to have anything a random outsider to London would consider London in it... Like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace etc... They are covered by the Met. The City Police cover the square mile and not much more.
Hmmm i bet for the first 5 years they call it the "Google Beta"
Yup, a pretty good place, but "...the risk of a tsunami impacting on the UK... is low, but that it cannot be discounted completely."
