Your Church Has a Safety Team — But Have They Actually Prepared? – USA Carry
On a quiet Sunday morning, the sanctuary is full. Children shuffle into pews. A greeter smiles at the door. The worship team begins to play. Now imagine this: a raised voice in the lobby. A door that should have remained closed swings open. A volunteer freezes for half a second too long. In critical moments, hesitation is not caused by…

Inside the Pentagon on 9/11 | Ambassador Matthew Klimow
He was inside the Pentagon that morning. Hear it from him.
The US Navy Planned 32 Zumwalt-Class Destroyers and Built 3. Each One Cost About $10,600,000,000 With Development Included — More Than 7 Times the Original Estimate — and the 2 155mm Guns on Every Ship Were Never Fired Because Each Shell Reached $800,000.
Summary and Key Points: The US Navy set out to build 32 Zumwalt-class destroyers and finished three. A Government Accountability Office assessment puts the cost at roughly $10,600,000,000 per ship once development is counted, more than seven times the original unit-cost estimate, and the reason is partly that the buy…
The US Air Force F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighter Holds Speeds Above Mach 1.5 Without Ever Lighting an Afterburner. Its 2 Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 Engines Make About 35,000 Pounds of Thrust Each, and the Fleet Just Passed 1,000,000 Flight Hours on an Engine Last Built in 2013.
Summary and Key Points: Most supersonic fighters get there the expensive way. An afterburner injects raw fuel directly into the exhaust stream behind the turbine, producing a large jump in thrust and an enormous jump in consumption — which is why afterburner use in a fighter is measured in minutes,…
The F-111B Was Supposed to Be a US Navy Aircraft Carrier Fighter. It Exceeded 80,000 Pounds, Needed a Wingspan 7 Feet Wider Than the Air Force Version Just to Slow Down Enough to Land, and the Navy Walked Away in May 1968.
Summary and Key Points: In 1961, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara decided the Air Force and the Navy should buy two versions of the same aircraft. The logic was straightforward: shared development and shared components would save money. The problem was that the two services wanted opposite machines. The Air Force…
