Master Fox Posted 23 September 2007 Author Posted 23 September 2007 Pilot Ron Candiloro breaks through the sound barrier in an F/A-18 Hornet fighter plane over the Pacific Ocean. The cloud ball effect is caused when forward sound waves squeeze moisture in the air.

Zingari Posted 25 September 2007 Posted 25 September 2007 The Herald of Free Enterprise" was a car ferry plying between Dover, England and Zeebrugge, Belgium. The whole front of the ship opened so cars and lorries could be loaded onto the lower decks. One winter night, with the vehicles loaded and 563 passengers on board, Captain David Lewry put to sea. It was dark, 7 pm. All went well in the sheltered harbour. But one mile out, when they hit high seas, the ship capsized in 90 seconds and sank within five minutes. It was the 6th of March, 1987. One hundred ninety-three people drowned.

Zingari Posted 25 September 2007 Posted 25 September 2007 had that accolade not passed on to such images as these not really; these photos (shocking and memorable as they are ) are not really part of "aviation history" in the same way a photo of motor vehicle pile up on the M1 would not be found in a history of motor vehicles book ( i would think anyway )
