Behold, for the first time in nearly 18 years of living aboard, I have functional fresh water tank gauge!
Doesn't it look pretty ?

“A CNN Reporter requested data to portray the depth of the Potomac River near the site of the tragic plane and helicopter crash. The Digital Elevation Model Bathymetry (DEM) Team responded with information on how to use NCEI’s high-resolution Continuously Updated Digital Elevation Models (CUDEMs) to generate a map of the Potomac River and provided an example map…”

I'm contemplating a bike tour between Washington DC and Pittsburgh along the GAP and C&O canal towpath. It's 333 miles total and virtually all trail. There is Amtrak bike service along the route, meaning I could bike one way and take the train back. Lots of variables up in the air now so just curious if anyone out there has done this ride or has tips.
Really solid video on the DC crash. Seems to indicate the military helicopter had exceeded it's flight ceiling.
Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, who is the pilot who safely landed a full passenger plane in the Hudson River in #NewYork City, has a 3-word response to the un-Presidential response of #DonaldTheDeplorable to the mid-air collision of an #Army helicopter and #American Airlines plane above the #Potomac River, that had no survivors: “Not surprised. Disgusted.”
What the … ?
#DoD considers #Breitbart et al. more important than #NYTimes
Journalists are forced to regularly check #Twitter if they want to receive official #NTSB information on the #Potomac crash. No more email option

Why Didn't Technology Prevent The Deadly Air Collision Over Washington?
31 January 2025
Chrystal Zhang, The Conversation
"TCAS is an aircraft safety system that monitors the airspace around a plane for other aircraft equipped with transponders. These are devices that listen for and respond to incoming electronic signals… #TCAS has limitations… inhibited at altitudes below roughly 300 metres."

Think I'll wait for the official report rather than what the Rapist President and his dying mind has to say.
But you keep repeating his bibble without comment Oligarch Press, think about your rent payments....
Remembering the figure skaters who died in the plane crash over the #Potomac. It's not the first time that a generation of American figure skaters and coaches were lost.
