This actually happened yesterday.


Three young men have reportedly fallen mid-air from a plane leaving Kabul after allegedly losing grip of the exterior of the aircraft, alarming footage appears to show.

In a video uploaded by the Afghan Asvaka News agency and seemingly taken from the ground, two unidentifiable objects can be seen falling from the body of a plane as it flies overhead.

"The video shows a flight from Kabul airport where two people are thrown from a plane into the people's homes," the agency said alongside the 11-second clip which has since garnered more than one million views.

The Afghan men were hanging to the tires of a C-17 U.S. military aircraft, the publication reported.

It was a Tuesday. I took the morning Amtrak from Rhinecliff to NY-Penn station From there I rode the subway to Central Park South. It was a freelance gig at Loreal. After we were evacuated, I never went back to that gig, or that building. The sky was an incredible blue. To this day, when I see that color of the sky, it has a name. Nine Eleven Blue.

Dateline, August 4th 2021. "I think the question is, we can either have a free society or we can have a biomedical security state, and I can tell you Florida, we're a free state," DeSantis said. "People are gonna be free to choose to make their own decisions about themselves, about their families, about their kids' education and about putting food on the table."

A Pair o Bills For Our Time
Author: BobR    Date: 08/11/2021 12:23:50

You may have missed it yesterday amid all the Cuomoversity, but the Senate passed the largest infrastructure bill in our lifetime. It was overshadowed by NY Governor Andrew Cuomo's decision to resign, something that was obviously going to happen when I wrote about the NY AG's report a week ago. It was classic Governor Cuomo, trying to tout his accomplishments while minimizing his guilt.

But - the infrastructure bill!

Infrastructure
Author: TriSec    Date: 08/07/2021 12:28:52

Let’s start in 1980s Boston. Our harbor was polluted. So polluted, in fact, that George H.W. Bush made a campaign issue out of it against local candidate Michael Dukakis.

Meanwhile, on land the city wasn’t doing any better. We had a vintage, 1950s elevated highway right through the heart of downtown. Always noisy and dirty, it created a barrier between downtown and that filthy harbor.
