World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The swiss cheese model says that a bunch of failures have to line up just to make one bad thing happen, but in this case it seems like only a few failures lined up and a bunch of bad things happened. This is highly unusual.
Depends on the field you're in. In IT cascading failures are common.
My gut tells me that there was also a sensor failure and that the pilots were operating on erroneous information, which caused them to take actions that ended up compounding the problem.
Only a few that we know of so far.
But here's the list I'm tracking -
Video footage and teardrop go around suggests neither engine was producing thrust.
Possible smoke in cabin making an already hard go around harder
Runway on wrong side of go around for primary pilot to have good visibility
Airport did not staff anti bird crew correctly
Airport does not have state of the art anti bird systems
Pilots decided on a go around instead of putting the bird struck plane on the ground for unknown reason. (Generally you continue your approach if you can) The unknown reason could be pilot error or a mechanical failure.
That's quite a lot to go wrong already.
Your comment posted multiple times. Lol
Must be one of those cascading failures I've heard about.
I know you joke, but likely not far from the truth. I was talking about misleading sensors, and this is an example of that - either my client didn't get a response from the server indicating that the comment was received and retried, or my server didn't get a response on OP's server. Either way miscommunication happened, and the result (repeated comments, and from what I can see received at different times too) is much worse than the desired result (one comment entry only).
It seems like everyone is talking about these cascading failures.
I didn't, but now I'm paranoid that whatever caused the comment to be sent multiple times is still going on 😅
Not sure what's going on but this comment has been posted like 10 times from your account on this thread
Uh, you ok bud?
Very odd, I swear I wrote the post only once. I was having slowness loading the page - maybe there was a problem with my client not being able to get a response from the server and retrying, or the server processing the post multiple times (timestsamps are odd too)? Kind of serendipitous though - one system not getting the data it expects, and defaulting to a behaviour that is unintended.
Must be one of those cascading failures we’ve been told about
Happens to me if I'm in an area of bad signal. It's like the post sends but you never get a sent receipt so it just keeps sending.
Why did you post this same comment nine times?
See the other threads. I Posted the comment once, but something (either client or server) kept posting it. It could have been a temporary misconfiguration (happened at least once before), a bug in the server code, or a combination of unreliable network and my client retrying.
