It was as if no one realize that even a basic bumper system around the foundations could have made a very big difference.

Did Russia ignore US 'extremist' attacks warning?

Given the place and time, the+Moscow+concert+hall+attack should have had a perimeter of armed security. A Concert-hall, especially in a big city, should have a higher level of security like arenas and stadiums...

The more that AI can learn, the better. Perhaps better for people at first, but at a certain point AI might want to run the show. A world totally run by AI machines running humans, could lead to a most inhuman world.

The FULL MH370 Story...So Far.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5K9HBiJpuk

Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370 is quite an aircraft mystery.

"The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER operated by Malaysia Airlines, last made voice contact with ATC at 01:19 MYT, 8 March (17:19 UTC, 7 March) when it was over the South China Sea, less than an hour after takeoff. It disappeared from ATC radar screens at 01:22 MYT, but was still tracked on military radar as it turned sharply away from its original northeastern course to head west and cross the Malay Peninsula, continuing that course until leaving the range of the military radar at 02:22 while over the Andaman Sea, 200 nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) northwest of Penang Island, in northwestern Malaysia." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370#Timeline

The Most Bizarre Theme Cruises in the World

https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/weirdest-themed-cruises-cruise-deals

 https://nypost.com/2024/03/08/lifestyle/inside-the-strange-mix-of-passengers-on-an-all-nude-cruise-60-unattractive/

Unfortunately, as people get older, many get out of shape or become FAT. Thus, a costume cruise or a provocative clothing cruise would be so much better. However, there still could be a market for an old FAT people nude cruise. Even an anorexic nude cruise could sink one's hopes. Pavocative Costume Cruises or Cosplay Cruises are some of the best, because all kinds of styles, shapes and sizes can be there.

Perhaps some might even sign up for an impotent cruise. However, an enema cruise would likely be more popular than that.

Boeing 737MAX BlowOut! The Scandal behind Alaska Airlines flight 1282

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROeGKs4xTfs

Boeing should immediately work on improving its image.

https://news.alaskaair.com/alaska-airlines/operations/as-1282

Whether or not this world is part of a cosmic simulation, various realities and scenarios can be simulated, with enough pertinent data. Digital models and computer simulations are suppose to greatly reduce the structural problems with aircraft. Unfortunately, Boeing has had many challenges recently.
