Plus a few 1/2 hour ones. So a lot of New Years. Dad, as an oil executive, got to ride the Concorde around the world. Celebrate New Years in NYC, get on the plane, celebrate it in mid-air, land, celebrate it, celebrate it in mid-air, land, and again, and again. The oil-executives were all probably really good at getting drunk, but this had to be a test for the top-floor upper-exec prospects. "Dude. You set Krasnodar on fire. That's not what we expect from a respected member of our team." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Meteor exploded over Pittsburgh loud enough to be recorded as an earthquake. Welcome to 2022. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 If you are standing on the South Pole, every direction you look is north. If you turn in a complete circle you have faced into all 24 significant time zones. And at the appropriate calendar date could have welcomed the new year 24 times. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all heard the big bang but still don't know what it was. They were still investigating last we heard. tom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed. tom. PITTSBURGH, PA — The loud boom heard on New Year's Day in the Pittsburgh area indeed was a meteor entering the atmosphere, according to the NASA Meteor Watch Facebook page. "A nearby infrasound station registered the blast wave from the meteor as it broke apart; the data enabled an estimate of the energy at 30 tons of TNT," a post on the page stated. "If we make a reasonable assumption as to the meteor's speed (45,000 miles per hour), we can ballpark the object's size at about a yard in diameter, with a mass close to half a ton. Had it not been cloudy, the fireball would have been easily visible in the daylight sky - crude estimate indicates about 100 times the brightness of the full moon." Many people notified authorities, who could offer no explanation, about the large bang. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
