disaster a man approached one of the organizers to tell him about a film that his uncle recorded on that day it turned out to be both genuine and authentic and aviation historian dan grossman believed it would add new information about the crash here s the teaser https www pbs org video newly analyzed footage helps solve hindenburg mystery u573kr here s a link to an article about the resulting pbs show https www smithsonianmag com smart news unearthed footage sheds new light hindenburg disaster 180977773 i can t link to the show itself on the pbs website for either geographic or subscription

the lakes over the portages of the shield west along the north saskatchewan through the yellowhead gap and thence southwest by the columbia and fraser rivers to the sea when someone asks you how

shuttle challenger january 28 2010 monado challenger explosion 1986 january 28 in 1986 space shuttle challenger exploded on launch killing several astronauts it turned out that o ring seals were not flexible enough when the rocket was launched at colder temperatures than they were tested for the bolt it all together and pray management ignored warnings from engineers about launching outside design temperatures the o rings were needed because the rocket was built in sections the rocket was built in sections to give the manufacturing contracts to a land bound state because the rocket was too large to be transported in one piece except by sea the contracts were awarded to a land bound state as a politically influenced reward handed out to state governments and by them to their political contributors it was not inevitable it was not necessary it was stupid space shuttle challenger was replaced by space shuttle columbia share this share on facebook opens in new window

in beta test i urged take time to visit the new site and leave your feedback we can help the ttc to improve their user experience if we act now first go and roam around the ttc beta site then return to its home page at the bottom is a link to a survey follow the link and fill out the survey now i have to add if it works maybe an e mail to the ttc s webmaster no there s no e mail address what about the contact us page no there s no link back to the old site so no way to get back unless you have the presence of mind to use the back button in your browser enough times to get to the introduction page this is getting funny it s reminding me that many editors have called the ttc over the years offering to help improve their signs and instructions only to be told we re all right we have the best safety record in north america so everything is fine meanwhile their warning on the in car alarms still ask people to set off the alarm in case of vandalism or passenger safety i will try to get in touch with them via the old site and tell them that the survey form isn t working of course it could be my computer but i hope they tested it on external computers update i phoned the ttc and they said as help desk people often do that shouldn t be happening i described the problem then read them bits of the error message then offered to send a screen shot so i m doing that share

web page is in beta test june 7 2008 monado the toronto transit commission s new web site is in beta test which means it s not in production but we can visit it and the ttc wants our feedback to finalize the design you ll be doing yourself and myriads of ttc users a favour the toronto star reports that the ttc s new home page is still a work in progress tess kalinowski transportation reporter now there s a better way to navigate the ttc online but the transit agency isn t home yet when it comes to its new website the ttc previewed its long awaited homepage today to replace the version it s been running since 1998 with new easy to read graphics and search engines for bus and streetcar routes it nevertheless doesn t yet have a trip planning tool or up to the minute service updates for the system those features along with an e commerce function will be added by next year said the ttc s marketing manager alice smith eventually the ttc s site will function like the chicago transit system s where users can actually watch the buses and see delays said commission chair adam giambrone a quick look at the old site this is the ttc s old home page it s quite long notice the link at the top to the new site the badges in the old page are links to sub pages those might be in the ttc s own web site this is the result of clicking ttc service or they might go to a page in the extensive city of toronto web site the new site the new site has an introduction it uses a lot of abstract nouns and needs a plain language rewrite then you click continue to get to the new home page this new web page is quite wide about 960 pixels people with older monitors might not realize that there s a far right hand column with more choices unless they have horizontal scrolling turned on and they look at the horizontal scroll bar the new site looks pretty it uses the streetcars colours of red black and white but close your eyes half way and squint at the screen you ll see that the heavy black bar across the top is the strongest visual element it pulls your eye away from the more important text below because of the strong horizontal elements it took me a while to realize that the menus should be read vertically from the heading above the line four topic areas are headed by a red line faintly divided by grey bars and with a dot like a station on a route map to me the dot separated the menus from their title rather than connecting them the site is divided logically into four main topic areas schedules maps fares passes riding the ttc service alerts this is the schedules maps area it was not obvious to me that the three symbols along the top stand for the three kinds of routes perhaps the symbols could be placed vertically with their descriptions beside them also there s lots of room to write rapid transit or rail transit instead of the cryptic rt when in doubt spell it out there s a place holder for a link to the future trip planner i hope that it will allow you to say when you want to arrive will tell you when you have to leave instead of just asking you when you want to leave or perhaps it will even ask you which way of planning to use to get to a schedule click in one of subways buses or streetcars if you know your route number such as 501c you can type it instead of searching through the schedule menus i chose streetcar routes you go to a second level menu of major routes select a route i chose 501 queen the white on black text at the top of the route tells you that this is for eastbound streetcars many people can t read reverse video easily and will read westbound more clearly than eastbound the schedules have the very nice feature of showing the next vehicle scheduled to go by in each direction in future you may see real time results the next scheduled arrivals appear at main intersections for active routes if you select a sub route you get a more detailed schedule unlike the streetcars menu the service alerts menu is scattered over the page the service alerts menu makes your eye rove around to see all the choices this seems like an attempt to use up all that horizontal white space there s nothing wrong with the old vertical format if drill down a level in the new web site you ll find that warnings such as construction projects are unfinished until the web pages are are complete i think that they should link to the updates on the city of toronto site as the old web site does the star is correct it s a work in progress take time to visit the new site and leave your feedback we can help the ttc to improve their user experience if we act now first go and roam around the ttc beta site then return to its home page at the bottom is a link to a survey follow the link and fill out the survey share this share on
