Pilots mistakenly cut power causing Nepal plane crash that killed 72: Report

Since the article has too many fucking ads:

Pilots mistakenly cut power causing Nepal plane crash that killed 72: Report

that killed 72 people almost a year ago was caused by the pilots mistakenly cutting leading to an aerodynamic stall, a report issued by a government-appointed investigation panel on Thursday said.

The ATR 72 crashed just before landing in the tourist city of on Jan. 15. Dipak Prasad Bastola, an aeronautical engineer and a member of the investigating panel, said due to lack of awareness and lack of standard operating procedures, the pilots had put the condition levers, which control power, in the feathering position, instead of selecting the flap lever.

This led the engine to "run idle and not produce thrust. But due to its momentum, the aircraft flew for up to 49 seconds before hitting the ground".

Postnord says no to Tesla

Because almost all workers in Sweden are part of unions, those unions often work with the other unions and sympathy strike. Which means that they will not work with the company the unions are striking against.

This is so that the companies cannot bypass the strikes, which is often the case in other countries without as strong unions as Sweden does.

White House says ‘it’s the right time’ for Israel to scale back Gaza war as fighting hits 100 days

The majority of the population in Gaza was not born when Hamas "won the election" (which, by the way, was supported by Israel). Then now they have no choice but to "show support" in polls because Hamas is authoritarian. That's like saying the majority of North Koreans are supportive of Kim Jong Un's government because the polls say he has a 100% approval rating.
