The Wild West of Canadian Aviation Investigations
The State of Canadian Aviation Investigations, Part 1: The ASB and the Dubin Report
medium.com
For those new to Bluesky, hi! I don't really know what I'm doing in life, but I have written articles about air accidents. This article is part one of five on the topic of how the TSB of Canada became the organization it is today.
Also, obligatory Cloudberg article on Arrow Air.
My latest article presents the sweeping story of Arrow Air flight 1285, a disaster whose muddled legacy is too often misinterpreted. If you thought you understood the deadliest crash on Canadian soil, think again: admiralcloudberg.medium.com/myths-men-an...
Myths, Men, and the Minority Report: The crash of Arrow Air flight 1285
Unraveling the story behind the 1985 disaster that killed 256 US servicemen, and the bureaucratic drama that obscured the truth.

Also, obligatory Cloudberg article on Arrow Air.
40 years ago, the deadliest air accident on Canadian soil occurred. Lessons about ice should've been learned, but conspiracy theories led to these lessons not being learned fast enough to prevent Air Ontario 1363 from crashing due to ice. I wrote about this saga almost two years ago
A large amount of research and pent-up rage has culminated in this article: the detailed account of why the CASB no longer exists. Spoilers: it wasn't just the Arrow Air debacle.

This story has been 100% ignored by aviation media and I don't understand why. There are plenty of established industry publications that should have been asking for months what the heck happened with Alvin Brown and they have hardly said a word.

Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.
But it looks like the British people are behind the actor, with a survey revealing that Home Alone is the UK’s favourite festive film, while Die Hard has officially been voted not a Christmas movie. Continue reading...

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

When a man hijacked a bus in Hamilton, Ontario, on Tuesday, the potentially catastrophic scenario ended happily. It turns out he was a pretty decent bus driver. He made regular stops to pick up passengers, the police reported. At one point someone tried to board with an expired bus pass. No dice.
A Man Took a Bus for a Joyride. Turns Out, He’s Not a Bad Driver.
The incident in Hamilton, Ontario, ended safely with an arrest and no injuries (and all fares paid).

Rumors that UPS MD11 fleet has been grounded are currently supported by ADSB and schedule data; no brown MD11s are flying at the moment - at least six should be airborne to SDF from SJU, TPA, MIA, DFW, MIA, and MSP right now.
