A. This doesn't look real.

B. This layer stays with the plane as it pushes subsonic air into supersonic. So it is the moment, that particular space of air goes supersonic, not the jet itself.

It wasn't the agent orange that was the issue. (Though that point is arguable.) But shitty industrial controls allowed dioxin to form during the manufacturing process. Dioxin was not a necessary component for agent orange to work as a defoliant, but it was something along the lines that if one part of the process was allowed to heat up too much, then Dioxin would form. Monsanto (yes, that Monsanto) reported it to the government and the military, but they all agreed to keep it a secret.

It was used more than just Vietnam too. Dioxin contaminated agent orange was used in North America as well by fire fighters clearing foliage for fire breaks.

Dioxin is one of the most toxic substances to humans known.

I've been pretty happy with my United Chase card. I travel a lot, for work, though, so it adds up.

Houston is commonly used as an example for what NOT to do, when it comes to civil planning and development.

I did read somewhere that our brains are really good at calculating where to throw to hit something in motion.

Granted you need practice to get good, but supposedly we are wired for it.
