SpaceShipTwo's Greatest Mystery: How Did the Pilot Survive?

-




There are many months of investigation ahead of the National Transportation Safety Board, as it tries to piece together the story of SpaceShipTwo's fatal crash in the Mojave desert last Friday. Based on evidence that the NTSB has already released, we know the craft deployed its shuttlecock-like wing feathers when it reached Mach 1, which appears to be precisely the wrong time to do so, and exploded two seconds later. Co-pilot Michael Alsbury began activating the feathers, and died in the crash. What the NTSB hasn't been able to begin to answer, however, is the question of how pilot Peter Siebold was able to escape the explosion with his life. How did he stay conscious without an oxygen mask or spacesuit in the freezing cold, dangerously airless upper atmosphere? How did he survive what appears to be a 40,000 feet free fall before deploying his parachute at around 20,000 feet above the ground? Siebold isn't talking to investigators, yet; he's still recuperating in the hospital after surgery on his shoulder, which was damaged in the landing.

Muslim Group to Charlie Hebdo: Don't Publish New Issue

-
An influential Muslim institution in Egypt has warned the French satirical magazine that was attacked by Islamist militants last week against publishing its new issue, which features a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on its cover. Egypt's official Religious Edict Authority, known as Dar El Ifta, said the magazine, Charlie Hebdo, is unnecessarily provoking the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide who love and respect the Prophet. Charlie Hebdo's new issue, which was sent to the presses Monday night, features on its cover a cartoon of a bug-eyed Prophet Muhammad shedding a tear and holding a sign that says Je Suis Charlie, the now-popular phrase of solidarity with the magazine. http://nbcnews.to/1DVm8yb http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

FUKUSHIMA ..The Worst Lie That Has Ever Been Committed Against The Human Race!

OH NO!, THEY SAY! DON'T LET THE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THEN WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS... PROBLEMS, they say? The-Powers-That-Be are a group of sociopaths that cannot see beyond their own noses of greed, and in their haste to gather all of the world's monetary value and control, they have brought this on, with NO IDEA ON HOW TO CONTROL OR STOP IT! THEY HAVE OPENED THE PROVERBIAL PANDORA'S BOX AND NOW DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTAIN OR STOP THE APOCALYPSE THEY HAVE CREATED. So what do we do now? I don't know, and even the world's nuclear scientists don't know. What should have been done was not, and that would have been to take over Japan when this first occured, and employ every nuclear scientist together into a think-tank, to attempt to solve it. At this point in time, if the UN did this now, it would be like trying to close the barn door AFTER the livestock has already escaped. It's too late!!! They would have us believe that the vastness of our oceans...
