Fire/EMS/ERs/disasters, etc.

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Based on a clip I saw from the initial NTSB statement it began with ice on the wings.

Medieval Humans Partly Caused Two Catastrophic Lake Tsunamis, And We Could Easily Do It Again, Scientists Warn

... At Lake Iseo in northern Italy, medieval humans set the scene for two such catastrophic wave events, and researchers are warning that it could easily happen again.

... Lake Iseo now has the most densely built shores of any lake in the Italian Alps. Meanwhile, more than eight centuries' worth of sediment has built up since the 1222 CE collapse.

"A tsunami comparable in magnitude to the catastrophic events that struck Lake Iseo during the medieval period would cause severe devastation today, given the region's dense population and shoreline development," the authors write.

"A global lake synthesis showed that human-driven erosion has reached its highest levels since the Industrial Era, progressively overloading deltas worldwide; thus, similar catastrophic failures may become more likely in the future."
:shock: Our species sucks.

Between AGW, nukes, PFAs and AI, etc. we are our own Thanos :( . Getting rid of 1/2 of us might actually extend the survival of our species, and ain't no Avengers gonna rescue us.
