Adam Air Black Box Recording Leaked To The Media: hydevilist's undecided received news that the black box recording for Adam Air flight DHI-574 BOEING 737–4Q8 has been leaked on the net and to the media.

I work for a JICA project on Aircraft Accident Investigation, and we’ve been working with the Indonesian NTSC (National Transportation Safety Committee) over at the Ministry of Transportation. So, I actually know a thing or two about the accident of Adam Air flight DHI-574 BOEING 737–4Q8 Accident in the Makassar Strait, Sulawesi on January 1st, 2007. So when, my friend told me that the black box recording was everywhere on the net and even being played at the TV, I didn’t believe it at first. So, I downloaded the sound file went through it with the official NTSC report which you can download here. At first I thought this was a hoax, but when I check the time span and the conversation especially near the end of the file, I found that it is in fact the real deal. And I was shocked! I emailed this fact to my boss right away.

of britain's fattest teen. 15 years old. 209 kg.

Britain's fattest teen weighs 33st: Georgia Davis is 15 years old but weighs about 33 stones. A food addict, her daily calorie intake is about 13,538 calories a day. The average 15-year-old girl only needs 2,000 calories a day.

FOOD addict Georgia Davis told last night how eating is a drug as deadly as heroin for her — and has driven her weight to a life-threatening 33 STONES at 15.

Georgia says,

Doctors have told me I could drop dead at any moment. I can’t walk more than a few steps without getting out of breath and a few months ago I developed Type 2 diabetes. When I look in the mirror I feel sad and go to my bedroom and cry. I know it’s partly my fault. But it’s so hard to stop eating. It’s like a drug. Some people choose heroin but I’ve chosen food and it’s killing me.

Crew films rare species of dolphin: A group of rare snubfin dolphins were caught on film. The snubfin dolphins, which is the first new dolphin species to be discovered in fifty years, were first spotted 3 years ago off Western Australia's remote Kimberley coast.

According to Tammie Matson from the World Wildlife Fund,

It may be the world's ugliest dolphin - some people have said that - but to those of us that have seen them ... I am just absolutely blown away by this creature. They are absolutely endearing. There's almost nothing known about this species. We are literally starting from scratch.
