The end of a sponsorship ad?
I've been waiting for this episode since the start of the podcast. As a brazilian, I remember seeing the news coverage live from the accident...
A more recent one that haulted the country was LaMia 2933, where almost all of the players from a soccer team died on the acciden.
To clarify, most of the deaths on the ground were TAM employees. Only one was at the gas station, who was a taxi driver. I'm quite surprised that the numbers weren't higher, as São Paulo has a lot of people and is GIGANTIC, and unlike the US, brazilian gas stations have employees called "frentistas", which refill you gas, wash your wind-screen, etc.
Btw, rugosity is not commonly used in portuguese (at least not in everyday life), but homologation is
Some gas stations in the US do have people to fill your gas for you. We call them "Full Service" stations, and the prices are (at least near me) a bit higher than the self serve pumps everywhere else.
They still dont wash your windscreen or anything else though.
How long does it take a landing plane to stop?
Well, apparently Airbus A320s land at between 66 and 80 meters per second. Under these conditions it was estimated they would need 6000 meters to stop. Stopping from 80m/s in 6000m would take roughly 150 seconds.
Unless I messed up that math.
