Mysteries and Melania: From Fighter Jets to First Lady News

Ever wondered what happens when a fighter jet malfunctions mid-flight? This morning's update takes you through the heart-stopping story of an F-35 pilot who spent 50 minutes on a conference call with engineers while still piloting his failing $200 million aircraft. The hydraulic system malfunction eventually forced a dramatic ejection as the jet spiraled toward the runway at an Alaskan Air Force base. Thankfully, the pilot parachuted to safety before the aircraft burst into flames upon impact.

We also dive into a fascinating scientific explanation for the Bermuda Triangle mystery that has puzzled humanity for centuries. Dr. Simon Boxall, an oceanographer from the University of Southampton, proposes that the area's notorious disappearances may be caused by enormous rogue waves reaching heights of nearly 100 feet. These monster waves form when multiple storm systems converge simultaneously, potentially breaking ships in half and leaving little evidence behind. Could this natural phenomenon finally explain the approximately 20 aircraft and countless ships that have vanished in this mysterious region?

The update wraps up with news about Melania Trump reportedly laughing at and rejecting Vanity Fair's offer to feature her on their cover. While the magazine's staff threatened to walk out if she appeared, sources close to the former First Lady reveal she had already declined, prioritizing her ongoing work with AI technology in schools over photo shoots. We close with a thought-provoking question: If you could suggest a special project for the First Lady to champion, what would it be? Share your ideas and join the conversation about how public figures can best use their platform for meaningful impact.

Speaker 1: 0:15

Good morning everyone. Happy Thursday. Okay, we have. I actually found some interesting topics today on the New York Post. That's not all gloom and doom. Okay, we need to start with this.

Speaker 1: 0:29

F-35 pilot held nearly an hour-long conference call mid-air to fix fighter jet before it crashed. Air to fix fighter jet before it crashed this is some thinking under pressure. Let me tell you I don't think I could do this. Okay, an F-35 pilot? Okay, the first of all this starts out with. It says a F-35 pilot, spit 50. Is that right? I always thought it should be an, an F, a F, I don't know. We'll just call it F-35.

Speaker 1: 1:04

Pilots spent 50 minutes on a conference call midair with engineers to solve a problem with a $200 million jet before it plummeted onto the runway. He's okay. He ejected at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska, forcing him to eject from the aircraft. According to a report, could you imagine trying to fix your jet, talking to engineers while you're flying? That's crazy. In a harrowing footage shared on social media, the jet spiraled to the ground on January 28th and burst into flames after the pilot floated safely onto the runway thanks to their parachute, thank goodness.

Speaker 1: 1:44

The crash occurred due to ice in the hydraulic lines in the nose and main landing gears of the F-35, preventing them from deploying as needed, according to a crash report obtained by CNN, as needed. According to a crash report obtained by cnn, after takeoff, the pilot attempted to retract the landing gear, but was unable to do so. When lowering it again, the landing gear would not center and would not lock into a left angle. Attempts to fix the gear caused the fighter jet to act as if it were on a ground surface. The report okay, whatever that means.

Speaker 1: 2:19

The pilot then got on a call with five Lockheed Martin engineers as the plane swooped near the airbase. Could you imagine taking that call? The receptionist at Lockheed Martin? Hello welcome to Lockheed. My name's Heather. How can I help you? Yeah, this is pilot so-and-so. I'm in midair and I need to speak with bob joe and whoever. Oh my gosh, I can't imagine the pilot. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 1: 2:45

The pilot then got on a call with five lockheed martin engineers as the plane swooped near the airbase, the call lasted nearly an hour. The pilot then tried two touch and go landings in a bid to straighten the jammed nose gear. Oh, wow, man, that's interesting. The pilot then tried two touch-and-go landings in a bid to straighten the jammed nose gear, but those attempts failed and resulted in the landing gears completely freezing up. By then the jet sensors indicated it was on the ground and the jet became uncontrollable, forcing the pilot to make the split-second decision to eject. My goodness, an Air Force inspection revealed that one-third of the fluid in the hydraulic system in the nose and right main landing gear was water. A similar problem, okay, whatever, but wow, that's incredible. You can go finish reading that. It's on my x file.

Speaker 1: 3:43

Moving on, the bermuda triangle has been solved. Y'all here we go. The mystery could be explained by this natural phenomenon, scientists claim. Now I don't know if I believe all of this or not. So a scientist claimed to solve the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, which has been the site of shipwrecks, plane crashes and paranormal sites for more than 500 years 500 years. I don't know if we've had any recent cases in my modern time about planes and shipwrecks in this particular area anymore.

Speaker 1: 4:16

So Dr Simon Boxall, an oceanographer from the University of Southampton, contends that the loosely defined geographic region in the Atlantic Ocean, which has long been the subject of supernatural speculation, has been plagued by a natural but extreme phenomenon. Ready for it, you ready. Massive, man-eating rogue waves around 100 feet high that form from the conjoining of storms in the region have swallowed up ships, sometimes breaking them clean in half, and wiped away the evidence by their sheer force. Boxall told outlets there are storms in the south and north which come together, dr Boxall explained, the Express reported, and if there are additional ones from Florida, it can be a potentially deadly formation of rogue waves. So you end up with, rather than a 10-meter wave, a 20-meter wave, however big that is, because they're doing it in damn meters. If you get three different wave systems coming together, you can get 30-meter waves. I don't know how tall that is. It must be pretty tall, but I don't know what meters are. We'll have to convert it later if it, but I don't know what meters are, we'll have to convert it later, boxell told the daily mail.

Speaker 1: 5:39

Okay, oh, here we go of the nearly 100 foot waves highway. What right in the middle of the ocean? Okay, that's weird. Something in a super tanker or a big cargo vessel can be destroyed by one of these rogue wave systems. That is insane. But when they say it could be, it's also saying that it's the problem with the plane. So what the waves reach up that high can snatch a plane out of the ocean. I mean out of the sky? I don't think so, but he does talk about that later in the thing. I can't find it now. Oh wait, what's that? I can't see it now. I'm trying to find it. Bear with me, here we go. Boxall also argued that the waves can account for the roughly 20 planes which have disappeared while flying through the region, including the 1945 Navy bomber training mission which saw the loss of a rescue plane. People will ignore the fact and figures. Ok, whatever, go, finish reading that if you're interested in that at all. Also on my X-File my last one up here Melania Trump laughed at Vanity Fair offer rejected magazine sources.

Speaker 1: 6:48

Well good, I talked about this on my YouTube channel and I think I blogged about it for the Victor Girls, about the new management trying to woo her to be on the cover of Vanity Fair because he wants to take, you know, more center. You know he realizes the new guy, the new guy in charge, realizes that he's got to sell magazines and in order to do that, you've got to cater to everybody. So, and that's when the staffers there said if you put Melania on the cover, I'm walking. Blah, blah, yeah, right, whatever, you can go watch my video on that if you'd like. But now the word is coming out that Melania is like uh no, I have better things to do. I have more important, better things to do.

Speaker 1: 7:31

A fashion source familiar with the first lady's thinking says she laughed at the Vanity Fair request in July and rejected it immediately. She doesn't have time to be sitting in a photo shoot. This is what the source says, not necessarily what Melania said. Her priorities as First Lady are far more important. These people don't deserve her. Anyway, I agree, although I still would like to see it. I would like to buy a copy of it because I think the story and it's not just about the cover of the magazine, because when you have the cover of the magazine, normally you have an article to go with it I would want to read the article and I want people to ask her questions. I want to know more about her and what she's doing today and what she thinks of everything. And we know the letter to president Putin. I want to know what was in the letter. I mean, I mean they showed us a letter but really, um, you know, I want to know. I want to know that now she's heading up the new AI thing for schools technology for schools. I want to know more about what she's doing.

Speaker 1: 8:41

So the magazine's new global editor-director, mark Gia Ducci, tried to woo Mrs Trump back in July, but when his employees found out this week, they threatened to quit their jobs. If he puts Melania on the cover, half of the editorial staff will walk out. I guarantee it. Yeah, no, no, you're not going anywhere. You are not giving up your cushy job where you do absolutely nothing. I will walk out that motherfucking door. Yeah, right, whatever, no, you won't. So anyway she has.

Speaker 1: 9:16

So we don't have to worry about it because she's turned them down, and I wish that she would not turn them down. I want her to do it, I want her to be on the cover, but I understand why she doesn't want to. Maybe she could do, maybe her deal, maybe she could do her own photo shoot, like get hired, because she knows she still knows the people. She'd get her own personal photographer that she likes and do her own photo shoot, submit those photos, do it the way she wants to do it, and they they Vanity Fair would have to use her photos that she provides. How about we do that and then do the article. She didn't even have to go there. Okay, I just want to know more about what she's doing. That's all. Okay, that's it. That's all I've got, and we need to do the question of the day, which is going to be, you know what? I'm going to stick with the first lady.

Speaker 1: 10:05

If you had a special project for the first lady to do, what would you want her to do? What kind of project or job or what's the term I'm looking for? You know what I mean. You know what I'm trying to say. Oh my gosh, I would probably. You know she's done the cyber bullying, the bullying with kids. You know, most first ladies have a project that they do. Her first term, she did this, the bullying or be best, that kind of thing, and now she's working with I think she still does that and now she's doing the AI technology with the schools.

Speaker 1: 10:45

I want her to do something with children, of course, but, but I don't know what, um, I don't know what, I don't know what I'd want her to do, but what would you have her do? What kind of thing would you want? The first lady? I want to see her back. I want to see her more in front of the cameras. I want to see her more visibly doing stuff, because she's beautiful and she's smart and she's so elegant. I maybe that's why I want her in front of the have women be better? How about that? Have women want to be better? Okay, I'm just rambling. Now I gotta go. Thanks for listening. Uh, love y'all. Bye.
