Every year, cruise ships carry thousands of passengers around the world. Tourists who embark on a cruise for their vacation enjoy the possibility of visiting various destinations, all the while with convenient access to everything they need at their doorstep—including food and drinks.

It's no surprise that these giants of the seas go through a seriously high quantity of food to satisfy their passengers. How does 3,200 slices of pizza per hour or 10,000 eggs per day sound to you? Some numbers are indeed absurdly high, but then again, these cruise ships do carry a lot of people.

It's not a vacation without ice cream, right? 700 lbs (317 kg) per week should suffice.

A B-17 vintage World War II-era bomber plane ("Nine-O-Nine") crashed Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2019, that claimed seven lives and injured six, just outside New England's second-busiest airport, and a fire-and-rescue operation was underway, official said. Airport officials said the plane was associated with the Collings Foundation, an educational group that brought its "Wings of Freedom" vintage aircraft display to Bradley International Airport this week.

I heard a clip of communication to the tower on the news. The pilot said he had something up with engine 4 and wanted to return. There didn't seem to be an urgency to his request.

I have heard it is now 10 dead sadly and 3 survivors. I watched an NTSB video and the engine that went into the building appeared to have its props feathered so at least one was an issue but with the weight that was on board it should have been able to fly just fine with even two engines out. The pilot was the most experienced and had the highest hours of any known and living B17 pilot. There will end up being a reason for this airplane going down and likely was not the fault of the flight crew but one small event leading to another which eventually all added up to a crash. If not for the contact with the approach lights it likely would have landed and with only slight damage. I can imagine that the damage done to the wings and/or cockpit from hitting them ultimately led to its total demise. I have been on this plane and there was plenty of seatbelts and the crew was more than professional. My brother is restoring their FW190 and they have halted any further work on any of their planes for the remainder of the year at the very least. Everything about this tragedy is horrible.
