They could replace the rd180 engines by 2020 at the earliest. Here to speak to that topic is beauchammp, gutt undersecretary for air space. Thanks for having me.

Meet the talented team in harmony. [ cheers ] several cities around the u. S. Have proposed distracted walking laws. The video i am about to show you illustrates this. Oh thanks for the warning, baby. Yeah. Thats how does that happen . That person must have been listening to music with ear buds in their year. This woman was walking across the train tracks, with ear buds in, didnt see the lights, didnt Pay Attention to the guards coming down. And the train tried to slow down, but couldnt stop. It was already coming too fast. Slams into her and drags her 50 feet. This is basically the definition of natural selection. I am not trying to be funny. Im saying she is completely clueless. She doesnt see any of the visual indicators. Shes taken away her ability to hear danger. This is what happens. How do you ignore how do you not see all of that . She didnt survive this, did she . She actually did survive it. She was in critical condition, in a coma for four days with injuries to her head, leg

With other recommendations we should consider the amendments to clarify not only to criminal Law Enforcement with legislation as well. Again i would like to thank the members of the task force i hope we can come together to address many of the concerns of over criminalization
