Dismantled Boeing B-52E Stratofortress, Edwards Air Force Base, Southern California.
Fun title , but it's actually not a crash site at all, though it does kinda resembles one. The historical details on this aircraft, serial # 0-70119, can be read in their entirety here, but in short, this decommissioned aircraft was placed out on what's known as the Photo Resolution Range at Edwards AFB back in the 1970's, and used as an aerial reconnaissance test-target. It was destroyed in 1991 for START treaty compliance with the Russians, and is now just a sorry collection of disembodied components set along the southern edge of the Rogers Dry Lake Bed in the Mojave Desert.
An interesting fact about all these jets placed on static display out on the desert fringes of Edwards Air Force Base. They're all technically in the inventory of Air Force Flight Test Center Museum, also located at Edwards AFB, with one even having a small, fallen-down plastic sign in the vicinity stating, as I recall, something to the effect that it's unlawful to mess with any of the "archaeological" exhibits on Edwards AFB property. I put archaeological in quotes because I'm not sure how these airframes count as archaeological exhibits, but that's roughly what it said.

This Beechcraft reportedly crashed in 1978 during a parachute jump promotional event for a brothel. The sign for the brothel is across the street and is featured in my previous post. Evidently the deal was if the parachute jumpers landed on a mattress they could spend the night with a lady of their choice. The pilot was distracted by the line-up of ladies and crashed the plane.
Plane Crash

OK, this one's just for fun….
This is a female goosander at the frozen lake, but she was very confused by the ice and almost careered into the crow when she landed, she just couldn't stop!
After she recovered herself, she flew off again and just circled for ages, I think not daring to make such a fool of herself again!

Une idée qui me séduit beaucoup : Utiliser toutes sortes de matériaux de récupération pour créer une épave...
Crash and burn - Phrase meaning to have a spectacular failure or fall from grace. Considered to have originated from losing an aerial dogfight.

The theme for Macro Monday this week is "Intended contact".
The intention of this theme is to show 2 objects interacting with each other (actually touching !) for the purpose of performing a specific action. It must be clear that the contact is not just by coincidence but with the purpose to actually achieve something. I'm not sure if I really do that, but my effort is "Crash for cash!" Happy Macro Mondays!
In Crash for Cash scams, fraudsters deliberately crash into the vehicles of innocent motorists or submit false claims for accidents. The intention is to make as much money as possible from the exaggerated claim, with proceeds used to fund other accidents or even more serious crimes.
Crash for Cash comes in three scenarios:
1.) A Staged Accident is where fraudsters crash two of their own vehicles together, or use a sledgehammer to imitate the effects of a crash.
2.) An Induced Accident is where a fraudster will deliberately slam on the brakes of their car to ensure the car behind crashes into them.
3.) A Ghost Accident is where a fraudster will submit false claims for accidents that didn’t even happen
I went to our river around noon to take a few photos of the waterfowl. Only the Egpytians geese were there but that was okay as they never disappoint. Once again they turned out to be very entertaining. :)
In 1973 a US Navy DC-117D crash landed on Sólheimasandur Beach in Iceland. The cause of the crash was due to severe icing, fortunately, the entire crew of 7 survived the crash. It's now a popular tourist attraction.

The Bisti wings (hard layers that protrude out from their soft supports) are doomed to crash eventually. Here's the wreckage of one.
I felt as if I had crash landed on another world. The polar winds howled through the wreckage of the craft, hurling up the pitch black sand rattling against the fuselage. The aurora created flashes of light high above. Its streaks of green and purple added to the eery atmosphere.
It was the dead of night. I was tired and alone. Trusting on my equipment to keep me safe, I carefully explored my surroundings.
Follow me on my adventures around the world(s).
One particular defunct scrapyard used to get in a lot of cars from a nearby crash dummy testing facility - I suspect that they were testing the dummys rather than the cars, as these Metros, Cavaliers and Marina would have been around 10 to 15 years old and therefore too old for any NCAP research. I was instructed not to take photographs - after I took these shots, for whatever reason.
The laptop has crashed and I cant access my latest images - I regularly back-up so if I have lost anything it will be the images from Tenerife that I havnt yet uploaded to flickr! But I will have lost all of the Tenerife RAW files - hopefully they can be rescued - in the meantime my access to flickr may be somewhat restricted. But please be warned - always back-up and save your images ! In fact before I used RAW files - flickr was the main place that I backed up all the family and holiday jpegs.
Here is a huge wave that came crashing in on the shores of Cape Kiwanda a few weeks back. I hope your all having a great day and thanks for looking!
