...driver of the shuttle bus, Millard P. Darden '82, said the woman had gotten on the bus at the Currier stop and had ridden the bus for the full loop. During the ride, the woman appeared not to know where she was going, and may have fallen from her seat, he added...
...began like a replay of the crisis at Three Mile Island, the Ginna accident proved far less serious. According to officials from Rochester Gas and Electric Corp., which owns the plant, and engineers from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a corroded pipe in the reactor's primary cooling loop that carries radioactive water into the plant's steam generator ruptured, contaminating water in the normally nonradioactive secondary loop. The leak also raised the pressure in the secondary loop, triggering a safety valve, which vented the now radioactive steam into the atmosphere. At the same time, slightly radioactive water from...
...clear last Monday morning as the Air Force's crack flying team soared above the Nevada desert, practicing its stunts, which have caused gasps at aerial shows for nearly 30 years. At exactly 9:55 a.m. the four Thunderbird pilots went into a "line-abreast loop," a maneuver in which they roar along, wingtip to wingtip, about 100 ft. off the ground, zoom up to 2,500 ft., loop backward into a dive at 400 m.p.h., then pull out when they get back to 100 ft. This time they did not pull out. One jet hit the ground...
Nothing about the crash added up. The pilots were among the Air Force's finest. Their T-38 Talon twin-jet trainers are so easy to steer that flyers call them "baby buggies," and the line-abreast loop, spectacular as it looks, is a fairly routine maneuver. One speculation: the leader may have misjudged his altitude or speed, and the other three duplicated his error. Thunderbird Capt. Dale Cook was flying solo that day. Says he: "I really can't speculate on what may have gone wrong. When you are flying in formation you are not just watching...
