An engine gets lost . Terribly. It has some Automated Systems in it. You have to understand, a turbo prop aircraft actually has jet engines on the wings with giant fourbladed propellers. Those propellers create tremendous wind, obviously, that go over the wings and add to the normal lift of the wing. When you lose one of those engines, you have tremendous lift on one wing, no lift on the other or very little. And the aircraft wants to turn into the dead engine and roll into the dead engine. Right. You have to compensate with that with the rudder pedals and the control wheel. However, its 850 horsepower in each engine. It takes a lot for a pilot to react so quickly on takeoff. So this aircraft is fully computerized and has auto rudder boost. So the rudder automatically pushes in on the side of the good engine to keep the plane from rolling over. Right.

Post just chronicle the times super secretive and strained play by play that led to former president obama confronting Vladimir Putin in 2016 about russia hacking the president ial election. Here is what president obama said about this. This was in december. His final month in the oval office. In early september, when i saw president putin in china, i felt that the most effective way to ensure that that didnt happen was to talk to him directly. And tell him to cut it out and there were going to be some serious consequences if he didnt. And in fact the Washington Post learned one of the possible consequences is the u. S. Releasing these digital bombs that could be actually inserted into russian networks, and the post followed what happened in the month after these two leaders met, specifically how the Obama White House decided to strike back against russias meddling with sanctions and expulsions, an effort that elicited this quote from a senior obama official.
