WOW! NYC-bound plane's Raytheon engine broke apart on same day as United flight Feb. 22, 2021 10:30 AM ETThe Boeing Company (BA) A Boeing (BA +0.1%) 747-400 cargo plane headed for New York made an emergency landing Saturday afternoon in Belgium soon after takeoff from the Netherlands as its engine caught fire and broke apart. The incident is being investigated by the Dutch Safety Board at the same time as the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is probing an eerily similar emergency with a United flight over Colorado that occurred about four hours later on Saturday. The Longtail Aviation plane was powered by Pratt & Whitney (RTX -1.4%) PW4000 engines, a smaller version of those on the United flight. Boeing has since recommended the suspension of 777s with the PW4000 turbine, Japan made the suspension mandatory, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency is seeking more information on the Pratt engines in light of both events.

i decided to buy the dip today, long ebon for the hell of it. i guess the btc isn't over yet *edit, speaking of buying the dip, anyone still interested in VLDR?
Ya know.... I thought about that actually, because they certainly do.The reason I didn't mention them is because it takes a lot to move a mountain. And Ge is a mountain. I wanna know who TSLA, and Blink, and a few of the others are getting their inverters from. Not the transformers, the inverters. High speed 'refueling' will be a must. Step down transformers for AC work great overnight at home, the cars already have built in inverters.... you have to convert the AC to DC... but if you want to juice the batteries quick, you need high amperage DC, and that comes via the 480V line voltage, via an inverter. And unlike a transformer, inverters are a little bit more involved. More parts. But.... someone needs to put all the parts together and put them in one 'box'. I mean if EV's are going to be relegated to local type stuff... tax'is, delivery, buses.... then the overnight charging will work well. But if we're getting rid of internal combustion, then superchargers are a must. Ahhhh.... probably nothing earth-shattering to trade anyway. That one company though.... Black and Veatch.... they need to be SPAC'd. Its a gem.
Stoneeey... Our boy over at Gore Holdings, he's launching another SPAC. Busy guy. Jane will like this one. Sustainable packaging. https://www.ardaghgroup.com/ ------------------------------------------- The maker of cans for White Claw strikes an $8.5 billion spinoff deal. By Lauren Hirsch Feb. 23, 2021, 5:30 a.m. ET The company that makes the aluminum cans used by LaCroix, White Claw and other beverage giants is spinning off that business in a deal that values the new company at $8.5 billion, according to several people with knowledge of the plan. The deal by Ardagh Group, which is based in Luxembourg,would be in the form of a merger with a special-purpose acquisition vehicle, or SPAC, backed by an affiliate of the Gores Group, the California private equity firm. It could be announced as soon as Tuesday, said the people, who spoke on the condition that they not be named because the negotiations are confidential. It is a bet on the continued growth of the can business, as companies increasingly weigh the environmental consequences of their products. Nestlé announced the sale of its water business for $4.3 billion this month, in part a move to shift away from water packaged in plastic. Aluminum cans are far easier to recycle than plastic bottles. The Gores SPAC, named Gores Holdings V, is the seventh such deal the group has done. Ardagh will retain a roughly 80 percent stake in the company after the deal. Investorsare contributing a $600 million private placement, while Gores is putting in $525 million in cash. The new company, Ardagh Metal Packaging, will issue$2.65 billion of new debt. Ardagh generates more half its roughly $7 billion in annual sales from making cans for beverage companies. This past year, sales by the unit grew 2 percent, fueled by beverage sales and environmental awareness, while earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortization grew 8 percent. Ardagh will keep its glass packaging business. For beverage companies, cans have become an increasingly important tool for branding, providing colorful and sleek packaging. When Ardagh acquired its canning operation in 2016 for $3 billion, it did most of its business with legacy brands like large soda and beer companies. It has since worked with younger and faster-growing seltzer-based brands like White Claw, LaCroix and Truly Hard Seltzer to help charge its growth. To prepare for further expected expansion in the United States, it bought a factory in Huron, Ohio. Globally, the company is eyeing growth in Europe and Brazil, where beer sales remain strong as consumers are increasingly shifting from tap to cans.
