Not trying to start anything, but in my State, none of that is required. I have one battery powered smoke detector in the hallway by the bedroom. I used to have another just outside the kitchen, but the wife set it off every time she cooked.

That was close, glad there were no injuries.

On duty at CPFD Station 2, located just west of the runways at Atlanta-Hartsfield. In short time, all aircraft would be on the ground and Station 2 has never been so quiet. All scheduled activities were cancelled for the next few days and we only left the stations to run emergency calls. The station televisions, normally turned off during "business" hours, were watched closely for updates.

You have your Kennedy's mixed up. This thread is about John, not Robert, Jr.

As it has been said by others, Trump could find the cure for cancer and give it to everyone for free, and the left would still hate him. Nothing he did in his first term hurt me and that is holding true for this term. His original tax cuts put more of my money in my pocket and their continuation will keep doing so. The changes to the taxes on SS will add more. Reducing wasteful government spending is the right move. Removing those here illegally is the right move. Stopping the DEI policies is the right move. His efforts to return manufacturing to the US is the right move. When was the last time a democrat in the White House did something to benefit all US Citizens? And he's doing it for FREE!

The video starts just as the truck driver begins to pull out and the impact occurs at the 4 second mark. As he goes through his turn, the van comes into view. Judge the distance, but I would say it is about 300' away. Take away the reaction time, eating up about 100 feet, and there was not enough distance remaining for the van to stop before impact. A "typical passenger car" is used in the above example of stopping distance/time, but this was a mini van, which could weight 700 to 1000 pounds more, increasing those distances and the time to stop.

1977 Century 1000/500, #5552, for those who keep track.
