XB-70 VALKYRIE | Wake Vortex crash explained Mike Bell 2021-12-25 | This is the story of the Valkyrie XB70 nuclear strike bomber, big brother of the SR-71 Blackbird. Both first flew in 1964. Wake turbulence is explained and how this played a role in a tragic midair crash. The analysis is illustrated with 3D animations and presented in an easy to understand manner. ===============CREDITS Music is by Borrtex.

It still looks futuristic today even though it is almost 60 years old.This was a remarkable design with many innovations which pushed the boundaries of aeronautics, propulsion, and materials. But its history was cut short and only 2 of these planes ever flew. One of these was destroyed in a tragic mid-air crash in 1966 while flying in close formation. This was a tragic freak accident which highlighted the dangers of wake turbulence. Aircraft disturb the air they pass through. In the process they churn up these horizontal mini tornadoes. Wake turbulence can be dangerous and violent. It can easily flip a smaller aircraft upside down. The Valkyrie was a cutting-edge wonder from North American Aviation. Their previous designs included the World War 2 Mustang. The Korean War Sabre and the X15 rocket plane. In 1957 a contract was awarded with the intent to build a fleet of these bombers. The plan was to make it immune from Soviet defences by flying too fast and too high.However Intercontinental ballistic missiles would deliver nuclear weapons faster, cheaper and without risking pilots and the Soviets developed missiles that could potentially shoot down the bomber. The windshield and nose ramp pivoted. They were lowered so the pilot could see ahead at slow speed and raised when supersonic for streamlining. Its wingtips folded in flight. They could be set to 25 and 65 degrees. When lowered they harnessed compression lift from the supersonic shock wave and improved directional stability when flying at Mach 3.The formation flew for 40 minutes in a racetrack pattern over the California desert.On this day, Al White was piloting the Valkyrie. For co-pilot Carl Cross this was his first flight in the bomber. Jo Cotton was flying as observer in the passenger seat of the T-38. The other aircraft involved in this crash was a F104 starfighter. It was flown by Joe Walker. Air traffic control from Edwards Air force base reported a B58 on a speed run at much higher altitude and posing no hazard. This radio call came 20 Seconds before the collision. Joe Walker may have looked up to locate the aircraft and drifted into the wake of the bomber while momentarily distracted.His tail hit the wing tip and he pitched up. The inside wing entered the dirty air of the vortex. It lost lift from stalling in the steep angle of the airflow. The stalled wing dropped from the reduced lift which flipped the fighter upside down. As it slid across the top of the bomber it sheared off most of the fins. The huge craft flew on straight for 15 to 20 seconds but then fell into a snap roll and lost part of its left wing. It tumbled and rolled into a flat spin while spewing fuel. Al White ejected from the bomber. It remains a mystery why the co-pilot did not use his ejection capsule. The pilots had specially designed ejection capsules with clamshell doors for protection from the Mach 3 air blast. Before closing the doors, the pilot had to retract into the capsule and pull in his feet.Carl Cross went down with the huge craft which crashed in the California desert north of Barstow.It seems inconceivable that Jo Walker with his exceptional skill and experience would collide in mid-air like this. The length of the precision formation flying may have been a factor. This required 40 minutes of unbroken focused concentration.Music is by Borrtex.

A slow motion topple | Steeple Collapse New London, CT Mike Bell 2024-04-14 | The steeple was slowly tiliting towords collapse but nobody noticed. The church steeple of of the First Congregational Church in New London, CT, collapsed at 1:30pm on Thursday Jan 25, 2024. Through frame by frame measurements of the security footage the lean has been measured and described in the videoThe currents building owner is Engaging Heaven Ministries. This church was completed in 1851 after the previous church burnt down. The architect rejected the construction of the spire and said the only solution was for it to be rebuilt. This did not happen and it turned out to be a 170 ticking time bomb. The following is a transcript of letter by Architect Leopold Eidtlitz addressed to the church building committee as recorded in the church register:New London Oct 21, 1851Gentlemen, The walls of the main tower of your church have parted in several places, in consequence of defective masonry and unequal settling, produced by a want of sufficient bond in the walls and by the hurried erection of the steeple.Mr Blescch and myself thought proper to secure the tower with iron anchors, by which means we succeeded in staying the progress of the parting of the walls.In order to arrive at the most efficient mode of remedying the defect of the structure in a permanent manner, I have (without your consent) consulted Mr Upjohn, (architect from city f New York) on the subject, and after mature deliberation we have come to the conclusion that in order to secure a sound and substantial tower to your church, its would be advisable as the only sure remedy, to take down the whole of the steeple and tower, and have it rebuilt by a more competent and reliable person than your present contractor. Submitting this, our opinion to your deliberation.I am, Gentlemen, Most Respectfully Yours.Leopold Eidlitz of the firm Blesch & EidlitzTo Andrew Frink Esq.Sydney Henn Esq.VS Perkins Esq.Building Committee of the first Congregational church, New London.Voted that the Society take no actionat present on the subject of the communication made by L. Eidlitz to the building committee regarding the main tower & spire of the meeting house.The meeting was then adjourned without dayAttest Ephehenbrough Clerk*certain words are indistinct and this is by best assumption.

Titan Sub | carbon fiber - detailed tour Mike Bell 2023-10-10 | The Titan, a submersible purpose built for diving the 12,500 feet to the Titanic wreck suffered a catastrophic implosion on Sunday Jun 18, 2023 at around 9:30am. This video shows how the sub looked like on the inside with high detail 3d model animations accurately representing the inner workings. Carbon Fibre's compressive strength has been inacurately explained as poor in the coverage of this story and this video aims correct this. The amazing compressive strength of the material is reiterated and the load capacity of the hull has been calculated with the help of aeronautical engineer, who has been producing world class competition winning carbon composite gliders for 20 years.I explain why OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush pursued carbon fiber and the substantial advantages of the hybrid pressure vessel option.The leaked transcript of text messages between sub and support ship is debunked as a cruel fake.The role of the real time acoustic hull monitoring system and it failing is explained.CORRECTIONS: The water pressure on the viewport is 910 Tons ~ 180 Elephants | Viewport outer diameter 21". 345 sq inch @ 5,800 psi = 910 Tons.Viewport deflection 3/4" (not 3 1/4")Further debris recovered youtube.com/watch?v=awLST9g-5GoThanks to Light Turbulence for use of footage youtube.com/watch?v=-zZxPraqjIAMusic:CO.AG Music Sinister Dark Ambient Music - Dark Road youtu.be/EM-Ughada1s?si=fUoCgga0F-LPirmLCO.AG Over Soon - Background Music youtu.be/l-rtArIRUxc?si=sFfPba7cgOe_KAPkCO.AG Instrumental Background suspense Music 5 case files youtu.be/aHCn9BRXFCc?si=5to16dE4SB7JCcjUyoutu.be/eccmMMFpZyU?si=GlY-9d-CDC_ilyfNCO.AG Forensic part 5 Documentary Music youtu.be/aHCn9BRXFCc?si=S8MixVRM5ahMn4KSSound effects:Freesound.org inspectorj_glss-smash-bottle-b, kamilnaidoo23_car-door-slam-sfx, tosha73_transition-car, 560610__arnaud-coutancier__rollers-wheels-3, 257928__kane53126__body-thud, 329915__carmsie__underwater-sounds-loopable, 423798__ch_ase__little-whoosh-3, 415479__ct202__dronefx_4, 162845__beman87__whoosh-in-out-5, 346236__odilonmarcenaro__submarine-sonar-on-modular-synth, 370930__sjturia__refrigerator_hum, 397620__laft2k__wood-creaking, 143279__johnnypanic__btpitchslide, 323384__reaktorplayer__submarine-beats,0:00 Intro0:45 Tour2:36 Bouyancy control4:05 Water air boundary6:55 Pressure on the viewport7:36 Why carbon fibre was a very good idea8:25 James Cameron starts a false narrative9:45 Hull 1 and 210:35 Fibre alignment12:15 Glue joint in wreckage13:04 Failure to test14:34 Hull shatter14:55 OceanGate 15:45 Transcript was fake16:05 OutroFurther debris recovered youtube.com/watch?v=awLST9g-5Go
Crimea bridge bombed again | by Sea Baby! Mike Bell 2023-07-17 | Putin’s crowning achievement, the Crimea Bridge has been blown up again. Two blasts rang out on the 12-mile crossing in the early hours of Monday morning July 17 causing chaos and trapping hordes of summer vacationers in Crimea. They now have to return home via the occupied territories that are a war zone. Ukraine has unofficially claimed responsibility.This cuts ammunitions supplies to the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia fronts. Both roadway connections have been cut. However the rail links this time seem unaffected and are open.
A game controller doesn’t belong on a 4,000m deep dive! Mike Bell 2023-07-04 | This is commentary on how cavalier Stockton Rush’s attitude was. The game controller was the wake up call to all those who climbed aboard that their pilot seemed to think life is a video game and how he viewed his responsibilities….as lighthearted.It was the red flag waved over all prospective customers of how dubious the Ocean Gate operation was and they chose to ignore it. The second was them being told, "oh by the way, you can't be called passengers. We need to refer to you as mission specialists" because the vehicle was not licensed for commercial travel, but the ticket costs $250,000.

Russian Fighter VS US Drone | Midair over Black Sea visualisation Mike Bell 2023-03-19 | A Russian jet took down an unmanned US drone over the Black Sea. This reconstruction illustrates just how risky and aggressive the maneuver was. It shows how the 2 aircraft made contact sending the drone to crash in the ocean on 14 March 2023 at around 9:20am local time.The Pentagon said the jets made 19 passes. They released footage of 2 of these passes taken from the drone’s underbelly camera. The Sukhoi fighters can be seen dumping jet fuel on the drone during these swooping attacks. In the final pass, a fighter made mid-air contact and damaged the drone’s propeller. The drone was an MQ-9 Reaper. It has a larger wingspan than the fighter but flies much slower. The Su-27 Flanker fighter is 8 times heavier.The drone was southwest of Crimea. In the final video image, the Yayla Mountains of Southern Crimea are visible. Matching the mountain profile with google Maps, the position of the drone was about 40 kilometers from the coast. Beyond is Sevastopol, Russia’s main naval base on the black sea.I used the video to plot the track of the fighter relative to the drone. This was done positioning the jet in multiple frames and setting up roll and pitch at each location. The probable track of the jet had the right wingtip striking one of the 4 propellor blades. This re-creation of the clash makes it clear how fast the jets were closing in on the much slower drone and how deliberate the maneuver was. The Russian pilots were putting their own safety at great risk. It looks like the flaps of the drone were partially lowered. The drone operator may have done this to slow its airspeed and make the attacks by the fighters more difficult by increasing the closing speed of the fighter jet. By fluke, the wingtip passed between both fins striking only the propeller even though the fins were taller. If either fin had been lost the drone would have become unflyable. But in the footage, it is still flying after being hit.With the prop inoperable the drone glided down for about 20 minutes till it crashed in the Black Sea and sunk in one-kilometer-deep ocean. This satellite image shows multiple Russian war ships sailing out to attempt to salvage the wreckage.Russia released their own footage showing a jet innocently overtaking a drone. But this must be a different encounter because this drone is carrying a pod and a vertical device not visible in the footage of the clash.The fighter’s wingtip must have sustained damage, but still it successfully made it back to base. The 2 Russian pilots were reportedly given state honors for their piloting skills in this intercept. Ukraine Invasion.Сухой Су-27
HUMAN ERROR or MECHANICAL?! | Yeti Airlines flight YT691 illustrated Mike Bell 2023-02-27 | This aircraft crashed because the propellors went into feather mode or neutral. This is according to the preliminary accident investigation report costing the lives of all 72 on board. The flight path of this ATR-72-212A is replayed over a 3D model of the city is shown according to the timestamps from the official preliminary accident report.There is something very puzzling why the the propellors were de-powered at the same time the pilot said he was lowering the flaps. The video explains the last 60 seconds and what feathering the props does. You will hear from eyewitness Diwas Bohora who lived next to the crash site. From his video it was possible to retrace the final moments of this tragic flight.This aircraft crash analysis has mapped the flight path and landing approach through careful cross-triangulation and retiming of a Facebook livestream video captured by Sonu Jaiswal, a passenger from India who was at the back of the plane on the left. Watch his video https://fb.watch/p2FIgAjUuX/?mibextid=FQVVTgThe accident is centered on a accidental feathering of the props on downwind leg. Feathering the props left the aircraft without forward thrust. It lost flying speed, stalled and fell out of the sky before the pilots could work out why there was no power to the props. The timestamps from the official preliminary accident report are replayed in a 60 second countdown to impact.Deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones.

CHERNOBYL vs FUKUSHIMA | which was Worse? Mike Bell 2023-01-16 | There have only been 2 nuclear disasters which scored the maximum level 7 on the INES rating. Chernobyl and Fukushima. This video illustrates both events and explains which one was worse. Chernobyl happened on 26 April 1986 and Fukushima was on 11 Mar 2011. These events had a profound impact on the nuclear industry worldwide. At Chernobyl the RBMK type reactor blew up and spewed highly radioactive reactor fuel all around. Fukushima Daichi was a loss of cooling accident after a tsunami resulting in the melting down of 3 BWR boiling water reactors. Three buildings were blown up but no uranium fuel escaped. This remained inside the containment structure which were intact.The disasters are illustrated and described with 3d animations. The video covers: Fallout. Deaths from radiation illness and cancer. Size of exclusion zones. Evacuated ghost towns. The China Syndrome or earth melt. The reactor enclosures added after. The cultural and political environment in which these were able to happen.

CRIMEA BRIDGE BOMB | In-depth analysis & explanation Mike Bell 2022-11-18 | The Crimea Bridge was bombed severing Russia's vital war supply artery. This video explains what happened and how was it done? The Bridge linking Crimea and Russia was bombed at 6:05 am on Saturday morning 8 Oct 2022 in dramatic fashion. Severing this vital transport link and severly impacting Russia's ability to wage war on Ukraine and defend Crimea. This video illustrates the huge fireball and the damage including the location of the truck at detonation. And solves some of the mysteries with 3D animated reconstruction. This 19 km (11mile) bridge is the longest in Europe and was opened by Vladimir Putin in 2018. The Crimean Bridge also known as the Kerch Bridge crosses the Kerch Strait where the Black Sea meets the Sea of Azov.The explosive included incendiaries, pieces of burning metal in the fireball which are likely what set the train alight.The train was moving at about 18 km/h and the truck at 85 km/h. The truck did not slow down before detonating.Did the driver know there was a bomb on board? Most likely not. The truck stayed in the outside lane not attempting to place the explosion closer to the train and destroy both roadways. Slowing down and meeting the train higher up on the bridge would also put the bomb to maximum use.Other possibilities suggested are a missile strike or waterborne bomb. But this video presents conclusive evidence for a truck bomb or VIED, Vehicle improvised explosive device.0:00 Intro1:05 The Structure2:08 Damage3:53 The truck survived?4:37 Something in the water?5:10 Broken in 3 places?6:22 Further clues7:14 Driver7:46 Repairs8:38 RepeatFor an excellent in-depth explanation of rolling shutter see Smarter every day youtu.be/dNVtMmLlnoE?t=141Music: LEMMiNO | Aloft youtube.com/watch?v=XNEKdkB_kdcCO.AG YouTube | Night Time youtube.com/watch?v=jddL7QxtPioCO.AG YouTube | Over Soon youtube.com/watch?v=l-rtArIRUxcCO.AG YouTube | Encounters with Slender-man youtube.com/watch?v=DO1bYNWqWiwConstruction drawings: slideshare.net/RbcRbcua/crimean-bridgepdfSounds: Freesounds: asynth-30 mitchelk bratish whammy robinhood76 zaphodikus omar-alvarado se2001Теракт на Кримському мосту проілюстрував і пояснив КерчВзрыв на Крымском мосту проиллюстрирован и объяснен КерчьDer Bombenanschlag auf die Krimbrücke illustrierte und erklärte KertschL'attentat à la bombe du pont de Crimée illustré et expliqué KertchAtak bombowy na moście Krymskim zilustrował i wyjaśnił KerczAtaque con bomba en el puente de Crimea ilustrado y explicado KerchKırım Köprüsü bombalı saldırı resimli ve Kerç açıkladıO atentado à bomba na Ponte da Crimeia ilustrou e explicou KerchBombový útok na Krymský most ilustroval a vysvětlil KerčIl bombardamento del ponte di Crimea ha illustrato e spiegato KerchCrimea Bridge bombattack illustrerade och förklarade Kerchкупить марку крымский мост

KYIV MISSILE STRIKE | building structure and repair Mike Bell 2022-07-02 | On the 2nd day of the Ukraine invasion this 26-story apartment tower remained standing even with bomb crater cut in its corner. How was this possible? How much structure was lost? This video investigates these questions and illustrates the damage to the structure. With 3d animation the structural scheme of the tower is unwrapped. The damage was modelled on video and photos of the strike. I also illustrate how a repair of the of the building could be done. The owners are currently undertaking a repair. I chose this example because of the extensive imagery available. Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine has destroyed countless buildings. This is the harrowing story of but one of countless buildings attacked in this brutal illegal war.The tower was in west Kiyv in the Solom'yans'kyi district 6a Lobanovsy Street, Солом'янський район 5km from the center. This missile strike was friendly fire. A BUK-m1 malfunctioned while trying to shoot down the Russian warplanes over Kiev. The structure is reinforced concrete. This building was stronger because it did not have cars which allowed for short floor spans and more columns. The building is about 10 years old.

Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant under attack - 3D illustrated Mike Bell 2022-03-07 | Europe's largest Nuclear Power Station was shelled and seized by Russian forces. What damage was done in the shooting? What are the risks while the war is raging?The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power station in Southern Ukraine is illustrated in 3D model. This plant produces 5.7 Giggawatts of power and represents 20% of Ukraine's electrical power.On the 4th of March during the Russian invasion of Ukraine the station came under Russian control and the control staff are now forced to work at gunpoint. A week later it was being controlled by Russian staff from Rosatom.The VVER reactor types at Zaporizhzhia have an excellent safety record and risk is very small of an accident. The reactor is house in an extremely robust containment structure which can withstand impact from a large aircraft. However a malicious military attack hitting the cooling systems or the spent fuel ponds pond could set off a radiation disaster. The nuclear waste stored on site is potentially vulnerable. So barring some intentional destruction the risks of a nuclear event are very low.
RUSSIA HOLD CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR POWER STATION - What now? Mike Bell 2022-02-28 | Russia captured Chernobyl on 24 Feb 2022 during their invasion of Ukraine. Nuclear power is in the headlines because of war. This video looks at how bad the nuclear risk is from Chernobyl during this conflict. The protective covers that enclose the nuclear material is illustrated.
Collapse simulation | Fern Hollow bridge Mike Bell 2022-02-24 | Road salt was a central factor in this collapse and the impact of the salt is illustrated. The the likely collapse sequence has been animated. This bridge collapsed in Pittsburgh on Jan 28 at 6:40am. With zero fatalities. Located on Forbes Avenue over the Fern Hollow Creek in Frick Park. The bridge was listed as poor condition on the DOT database. The bridge was built in 1971. Structural steel illustrated. The steel type on this bridge called Cor-ten rusted intentionally to form a corrosion barrier. The lower parts of the structure rusted away from de-icing salt. A structural brace had snapped off and this is shown in this video.

SURFSIDE CONDO COLLAPSE | structural negligence! pt3 Mike Bell 2021-10-14 | Inadequate structure was a central cause and I explain how this led to the catastrophe. Did the building fail from corrosion? Perhaps not. Inadequate punch shear reinforcement in the concrete slabs is the overriding factor in this collapse making for an exceedingly brittle structure. The importance of this type of rebar is illustrated.Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Miami, Florida collapsed without warning on June 24, 2021. 98 people died in this tragedy. My intent is to provide some answers how this disaster happened and the causes with the help of 3D animations. The analysis comes from my building knowledge as an Architect and discussions with structural engineers.

ELECTRIC AIRLINERS are fantasy Mike Bell 2021-08-13 | Battery power at the moment does not stand a chance against jet fuel – but not for the conventional reason of energy density. Our current airliners have a sneaky little cheat nobody is talking about. The gasoline in their tanks comprise just 1/14th of their total energy requirements. Most of their power needs from oxygen in the air and which they do not need to carry on board. If jet aircraft had to carry their energy load on board they would never take off just like battery airliners.This is why – until science comes up with real answers we are stuck in the awkward dilemma of the only way to fly long distances is to generate huge quantities of CO2.This 1 minute video is an entry for the Veritasium contest.By weight 1 unit of jet fuel burns 14 units of oxygen.
