No, that's the Antichrist. Good fellow. Sucks at poker though.

He's the dude standing behind the podium. Duh.
But who's the dude behind the dude behind the podium?

No, he's on first. There's a picture around here somewhere...

Somehow I missed this in my backlog of unread topics. Wow, that video is into some serious Poe's Law territory.

It would definitely be losing some hair if Occam took his razor to it...

Also, that's what I get for not running TDWTF in a private tab - this kind of shit still pops up on my recommendations from time to time now.

Ok, got a random biker vid involving a cop:

Click the hamburger menu in YouTube, and you can
- select "What to Watch" and categories you don't want you can X out as "not interested."
or...
- select History and remove the ones you don't want in your history.
Hope that helps.

Oh. My. Gawd.
They warned us. And we didn't listen! Dear sweet Jesus, we DIDN'T LISTEN!!!

I like 1:14 mark where he presents options on how to respond to the cop, like you're in a video game or something. :)

The 66 people in the CRJ had a really bad evening.

it's like a rollercoaster, in a plane! who wouldn't want that?
-
The 66 people in the CRJ had a really bad evening.
not to mention the insurance adjustors and legal departments at both airlines (i imagine the impact was rather noticable in the a380 too, just not as noticable as the CRJ
-

I doubt the people on the A380 were happy, either. I'm sure they arrived in Paris a bit later than they were planning to.

Ramp rash, man...

meh. you just don't know how to have fun...

Not as bad as the evening that ATC had. Someone there fucked up bad, as it is their job to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen; they know the sizes of the planes, after all. Either the regional jet shouldn't have been sticking out like that or the A380 shouldn't have been directed that way.
That's JFK for you…
-
It's hard to tell from that short clip, but it looks to me like either the CRJ should have pulled forward (but couldn't because there were ground vehicles in its way), or the A380 might have been left of the stripe it should have been following. It might not have been ATC's fault; rather one of the planes not being where ATC told them to be (possibly because a ground vehicle was where it shouldn't have been). Maybe it's still ATC's fault for not paying sufficient attention their ADSE radar, but I suspect that may not work well enough that close to the terminal building. (Wikipedia's illustration of an ADSE display, although it's not JFK, shows terminal buildings basically covered with fuzzy blobs of light.) Even when it's not hampered by reflective buildings, the resolution is only about 20m.

I was interested to find out how much of ground control is done by sight. It explains a lot about why there are problems when there's fog set in, and I doubt that the incident would have happened if it was a clear day (instead of night-time).
But looking at the followup on the incident and not just the video, it points to someone telling the CRJ to stop in a position where it was sticking out into the taxiway, yet not telling the 380 to stop or use a different route. That's an ATC problem, and maybe a communication problem too. After all, the pilots do know to do what they're told, and the 380 pilot will have known that he was moving a whale around and would have to stick carefully to the line (it's hardly a requirement unique to JFK; many airports are space-constrained).

ground control
IIRC, there is a more formal term, but that's what it's commonly called.
looking at the followup on the incident and not just the video ... That's an ATC problem
I didn't bother looking for further information, and that's not apparent from just the video. Yeah, that's ATC's foul-up.
One of the flights I'll be taking today or tomorrow is on a CRJ, but I don't remember which one, and the information I have at hand doesn't say.
-

There was sufficient information in the author's comments on the video on YT.

-
Not when the video is embedded in somebody else's page. When I am watching videos directly on YT, I often read the poster's description of the video — the random spew of the drooling idiots responding to it, not so much.
-
Occasionally. It's fascinating, in a trainwreck sort of way.

Oneboxing is a to reading comments on YT.
Well yes, but in this case I bothered to click through the link.
People read those?!
The author's direct comments? Yes. The comments by other people?
-
I bothered to click through the link.
I don't usually do that. I will if I want to find out more about the video — but I didn't this time; I didn't even think about it until you mentioned it — or if it's something (like Blakey's RITN videos) that I want to watch full-screen, because .

Because fat-bottomed girl in purple bikini bottoms?
Why do we have emotes for these things.

whenever i'm too proud of humanity I go to YT comments, and almost instantly that feeling gets replaced by "this world needs to be cleansed by fire"

You may want to turn down the volume or mute this video due to arguable taste in music and loud people shrieking.

That's why country and town are usually pre-filled with the current location.
My standalone unit will prefill the last address I put in. If I'm going to Independance, OH, instead of Cleveland, OH, I have to start over. But it starts with city, so I start typing "Inde" and wait for it to filter. I then have to scroll down on a display that shows about four lines at a time through all 16 cities named Independance to find the right one.
On the bright side, it doesn't drain my phone battery, so I use it for long trips.
