Regardless of what temperature you settle on, make sure you turn off your water main, and then run all your faucets, shower, etc and flush the toilets to drain all the pipes.

Your link is under appreciated. Very cool website.

That is a C-130. Neither of the local air wings have those anymore, but you are probably still right that’s it’s a flyover for the game.

Not in my experience. Better part of 10 years now and I’ve only lost one case to suppression from when I was a rookie.

Everything is a plea or merely dismissed. Anything that sticks is probation or some other laughable consequence.

The cops do throw the book at these jagoffs. It’s the magistrates and judges who make sure there’s no consequences for crime in Allegheny County.

It’s sad, but very informative.

I mean, yes, but also, do you see how the modern purpose built designs lack the charm of the original WWII ducks? That’s definitely part of the draw for many people, getting to ride on those old WWII surplus vehicles that our forefathers liberated Europe and the Pacific in.

Based on the video, it seems like even a very safety minded captain could have fallen afoul of the inherent design flaws in the boats to cope with rough waters. The redesigned air intakes, the lack of redundant buoyancy, the rigid canopies preventing passengers from escaping should the boat become submerged, etc etc

I personally would love to see amphibious tours return to Pittsburgh, but with a purpose built vehicle as opposed to a modified surplus vehicle. Alas, that would lack that charm of the original ducks.

That’s awesome!

That’s a good question. Hitting a deer is obviously far less potentially deadly then being struck head on by a wrong way driver on the highway. However, you’re probably more likely to hit a deer then be hit by a wrong way driver.

Personally, I’ll take the deer. I’ve yet to see a fatal accident from hitting a deer. I know they happen, but I haven’t seen one yet. What I have seen is multiple deadly head on collisions.

Be safe, use good judgement.

Pro tip for driving safely at night… do not travel in the passing lane. The overwhelming majority of head on wrong way collisions occur in the passing lane because the wrong way driver thinks they’re in the correct lane.

I appreciate you sir! Thank you very much!

It could be coincidence, but two big fires two nights on a row is a little odd. Is this house a vacant that could have been occupied by homeless persons? I don’t think last night’s was.

I feel that… I rented for a long long time and never had a landlord who actually took care of anything… friggin sad.

Weren’t 2 children killed and a firefighter hurt in a fire last night in Wilkinsburg?

I hope everyone made it out safe and there’s no foul play afoot.
