Ep 77 - Cloudy with a Chance of Terror: Cumulonimbus
Description
Let's head back up to the sky and talk about how terrifying and dangerous clouds are! After a little bit of cloud background info, Farz tells us two terrifying stories. First, the story of William Rankin, "The Man Who Rode the Thunder," who hung in the air for 35 minutes after ejecting from his plane. He basically was IN a cloud, lightning, rain, and more. Then, Farz tells us about Delta Flight 191 which crashed in Dallas in 1985. A convective storm cell caused a 'microburst' that caused the plane to miss the landing and crash onto a highway.
Anyway, also Taylor is flying a bit this week! Probably fine!
