Spooks, S06E01 and 02 (and I think 3). This is from 2006-2007.
It's about someone introducing a biological weapons/virus into London.
In a post covid era, it is facinating to compare how script writers handled this in that era versus what actually happened for covid. Many similarities.
@RichardNairn Every few years I watch it again. This is my first time since COVID, so those episodes about spead deadly infection whicb was only finction back then is more interestiung now that we've been through one such pandemic.
And yes, the series is top notch in terms of quality.
Yeah ! Yippie ! Montréal finally gets its grey alert for wednesday's snow. 10 to 20-cm. At present, the grey alerts cover only Québec. So Hull gets 10-20cm of snow, but Ottawa gets nothing 😉
Amtrak serves Norfolk Virginia.
Yet, Carnival chose to hire a fleet of some 60 buses to take the thousands of cruise ship passengers from its ship that docked at Norfolk to Baltimore where it was originally destined.
If I were Amtrak Joe Biden, I would order an investigation on why Amtrak was not the preffered transporter for that many people and make sure that is fixed.
After spending considerable time on how they are managing car traffic without the bridge, official mentions that they also have public transit in the area !!! That shoudl have been primary message, especially to students returning to school tomorrow.
The LincolnFutura was a car prototype that didn't go into production. Some of the prototypes were sent to Gotham City and used by the caped crusaders. It had a glass roof that came down with motors to enclose the 2 occupants. (the glass roof didn't make it to the documentary on Batman and Robin but was on the Lincoln prototypes)
Lynx Air news:
Lynx Air had ordered 46 Boeing 737s back in 2015, renegotiated price down during 737 grounding/COVID to very attractive prices. 9 were delivered.
When Lynx Air went kaput at end of February, the contract for remaining 37 was seen a one of its most valuable asset to be sold to another airline who could then get those 737s at price much lower than current price.
(cont).
Boeig imposed strict confidentiality and vetting rules and data availability rules that would make it impossible for Lynx to seek out potential airlines wanting to buy out the contract.
The end result is somewhate unepected:
Boeing has agreed to buy out its own contract with Lynx. Effectively sending cash to Lynx to cancel the order.
I assume that the cost to Boeing is less than the extra money it will get selling those aircraft are current prices.
(cont) Also, to Boeing, this new process will forever hide how low Being was willing to go to sell its 737s, something Boeing doesn't want airlines currently negotiatig for new 737s to find out.
From CCAA process it derogates from usal practice of having an open "auction" for assets and selling them to highest bidder in order to maximize return to creditors. So the Monitor now has to justify going this route instead as the best way forward.
