The Myyrmanni bombing took place on October 11, 2002, in Greater Helsinki, at the Myyrmanni shopping mall. A bomb that was hidden in a backpack exploded in the center of a shopping center killing seven people including two teenagers and a seven-year-old. 159 people were injured, 10 of which were children. The Bomber, Petri Gerdt, was also killed in the explosion. He was just 19.   TCG Links Check out Patreon and our other shows!: Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee Strange & Unexplained True Crime Guys YouTube EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify OhMyGaia.com Code: Crimepine Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In January 1956, rush-hour drivers crossing Pittsburgh's icy Homestead High Level Bridge watched a nightmare descend from the sky: a silent B-25 bomber gliding just feet above the roadway with both engines dead. Veteran Air Force pilot Major William Dotson pulled off a flawless emergency landing on the freezing Monongahela River, saving all six men from the crash itself. But within minutes, two crew members vanished into the current, and the bomber sank beneath only 25 feet of water… never to be seen again. How does an entire military aircraft disappear in shallow water, in front of hundreds of witnesses, and stay missing for nearly seventy years?Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

En enero de 1945 los aliados intuían que la guerra entraba en su recta final, aunque nadie acertaba a fijar la fecha del desenlace. El teatro europeo de operaciones parecía más cerca del final que el del Pacífico. Alemania estaba cercada por el este, el oeste y el sur, mientras que el archipiélago japonés todavía resistía. Aún no se habían librado las batallas de Iwo Jima y Okinawa, por lo que el alto mando estadounidense calculaba que aquello no terminaría hasta mediado el año 1946 a un coste muy elevado en vidas. Lo que sí dominaban los aliados sin discusión era el aire, y de ese dominio surgiría la mayor campaña de bombardeo estratégico de la historia. En el Reino Unido Arthur Harris, al frente del Bomber Command, era partidario del bombardeo de área nocturno, concebido expresamente para incendiar ciudades enteras y romper así la moral de los civiles. Los estadounidense preferían el bombardeo de precisión diurno sobre objetivos industriales bien elegidos con anterioridad. Disponían de ciertos avances como la mira Norden y contaban con buenos cazas de escolta como los Mustang que protegían a los bombarderos. En la Conferencia de Yalta celebrada en febrero Roosevelt y Churchill decidieron desatar una campaña de bombardeos que aliviase presión a los soviéticos en el frente del este impidiendo que el ejército alemán pudiese desplazar tropas y pertrechos hasta allí. Ese mismo mes atacaron con furia Berlín el día 3 y Dresde entre los días 13 y 14 con tres oleadas combinadas que desataron una tormenta de fuego que en su centro superó los 1.500 grados. Unas 25.000 personas murieron en el bombardeo, pero no sería el único. Le siguieron otras ciudades como Pforzheim, Wurzburgo y Magdeburgo que fueron destruidas, incluso en mayor medida que Dresde. Pero lo que marcó la diferencia no fue tanto la destrucción de las ciudades como los ataques sobre la infraestructura ferroviaria, algo que terminó paralizando por completo el Reich. En el Pacífico el cambio vino de la mano de un joven general, Curtis LeMay, que en enero se puso al mando de los B-29 destacados en las islas Marianas. Los fuertes vientos en altura hacían muy difícil el bombardero de precisión sobre Japón. LeMay ordenó volar de noche, a baja altura, sin armamento defensivo a bordo de los aviones y con bodegas repletas de bombas incendiarias M-69. La noche del 9 al 10 de marzo la Operación Meetinghouse incendió 41 kilómetros cuadrados de la ciudad de Tokio y mató entre 80.000 y 125.000 personas en lo que fue el episodio bélico más mortífero no de la guerra, sino de toda la historia. Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama y Kawasaki sufrieron idéntico destino, y luego decenas de ciudades medianas. Pero, pese a la devastación, Japón no se rendía. En Washington se plantearon invadir las islas principales con una gran operación anfibia, pero estimaban que el coste sería altísimo, de hasta un millón de bajas. Fue entonces cuando recurrieron a la bomba atómica que habían desarrollado con el Proyecto Manhattan. El 6 de agosto cayó la primera en Hiroshima, tres días más tarde cayó otra sobre Nagasaki. Entre medias los soviéticos entraron en Manchuria. El día 15 el emperador Hirohito anunció la rendición incondicional. Esta tormenta de fuego plantea preguntas incómodas. Los bombardeos contribuyeron a la victoria si, pero las víctimas civiles superaron las 650.000 en ambos teatros. Harris y LeMay fueron condecorados, y los tribunales de Núremberg y Tokio prefirieron no abrir ese melón. Sucesivos acuerdos sobre el alcance de este tipo de bombardeo vinieron después, pero el debate sigue abierto.

Bli med på livepodkast 28. mai på Carls i Oslo. Dørene åpner 18, podkasten starter 19 – og det er helt gratis. Mer info her: https://fb.me/e/92Sc949pp I dagens episode tar Jørn og Tormod en gjennomgang av frontlinjen, der er det både gode og dårlige nyheter for Ukrainas del. Ukraina har befestet posisjonen som den suverene parten i dronekrigen, og har initiativet flere steder langs fronten. Likevel er det også russisk framrykking, og flere sektorer hvor Ukraina sliter kraftig. Vi snakker også om Kinas forhold til Russland, og hvordan samarbeidet mellom de to landene stadig utvikler seg. Nå vil de bygge en konkurrent til Starlink, og også samarbeide om såkalte «drapsroboter», autonome KI-systemer til bruk på slagmarken. Men hvor mye skal vi tolke inn i disse avtalene? Det er lett å inngå intensjonsavtaler, men det betyr ikke nødvendigvis at de implementeres og følges opp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The mailbag is pretty active in this podcast, with listeners chiming in with questions about how Concordia (Wis.) will do in transitioning from the NACC to the CCIW, whether this year’s new technology in Division III will be added more smoothly than last year, what Trinity (Texas) was leaving behind in leaving its long-time conference home, and which mascot matchup would be our favorite. We’ll also talk about the new quarterback transferring into UW-Oshkosh, and finally get Coe and UW-Oshkosh schedules finalized. Plus, we have two guests: Trinity (Conn.) head coach Jeff Devanney and Ithaca coach Brandon Maguire. At Trinity, the day we’ve all been waiting for is arriving, where the NESCAC is finally allowed to go to the playoffs. The Bantams are all smiles. If you missed it, the conference presidents have been holding NESCAC football teams back for about 30 years while all other sports have been permitted to play on past Week 11. Devanney talks about how that changes the recruiting pitch, both for incoming student-athletes and a handful of key players who have an extra year of eligibility to be used. At Ithaca, Maguire gets promoted from within and talks about how many of the 96 players on the roster they managed to get to stick around after the previous coach left right before Christmas. Why did they players who stayed, stay? What does Ithaca need to get back to the very top of the Liberty League standings and get to the playoffs? What are the Bomber alumni most concerned about? That and more in this conversation. That and more in this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.

Questions remain around Australia's defence modernisation efforts. Can the nation continue expanding advanced capabilities while balancing cost, readiness, and strategic priorities? In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, Robert Dougherty and Bethany Alvaro discuss concerns surrounding the Arafura Class offshore patrol vessel program, including delays, capability questions, and reductions to planned vessel numbers. The discussion also explores the Australian Army's UH-60M Black Hawk fleet, emerging technologies such as sonic weapons and autonomous underwater systems, as well as sustainability in defence capability development. Attention then turns to proposals for Australia to consider B-21 Raider bombers as part of its long-range strike capability, alongside broader questions surrounding AUKUS, defence spending, and strategic alignment with the United States. Rounding out the episode, the team examines expectations ahead of the upcoming federal budget and what it could mean for future defence priorities. Enjoy the podcast, The Defence Connect team

  The development of the B-29 Superfortress began in 1939 following a clandestine meeting between General Hap Arnold and Charles Lindbergh, who warned of Germany's growing bomber fleets. The project aimed for air supremacy through a four-engine, high-altitude strategic bomber that far surpassed the capabilities of the B-17 or B-24. However, the B-29 was incredibly complex and "buggy," featuring new technologies like pressurized cabins and digitally controlled gun turrets. Production was plagued by technical failures, including engine fires and stall-outs that claimed the life of a leading test pilot. Bill Knudsen played a critical role in the "Battle of Omaha," driving the assembly lines forward and insisting on modifications as the planes were finished. By 1943, nearly 40% of the workforce at these plants consisted of women. Ultimately, the B-29 became the most expensive project of the war, carrying the atomic bomb to Hiroshima and ending the conflict in the Pacific. (3/4)

High-altitude precision bombing fails in Japan primarily due to notorious Pacific weather and violent jet streams with winds reaching 230 mph, which wreck bomber accuracy. The B-29, which cost $3.7 billion to develop—more than the atomic bomb—is a brand-new, unrefined aircraft prone to frequent engine fires. Crews face grueling 3,000-mile roundtrip missions over a "dark forbidding ocean" with no place to land if they take damage. Early raids, such as those against the Nakajima aircraft factory, prove disappointing, destroying only 1% of the target while Japanese fighters and anti-aircraft guns in "Flack Alley" take a heavy toll on the bombers. This frustration leads to a growing debate about abandoning precision strikes for firebombing cities, a tactic the British already used in Germany. While top leadership initially favored strategic bombing, the massive investment in city-wrecking weapons like the atomic bomb suggests they are open to more radical, destructive changes. 2/81953

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In our final look at the game mechanics for Civilization V we look at all of the players and their unique attributes. This helps you to see that certain Empires can be better suited for particular victory strategies. Playing Civilization V, Part 11 The Players By the time you got to the last expansion and all of the DLC, there are 43 possible Empires you can play as. But they are not all alike. Each Empire has a particular Leader, a Unique Ability, and a Unique Unit. In addition most of them have some kind of Starting Bias, and many have a Unique Building or a Unique Improvement. Understanding how to make use of these is important to your strategy. If you let random chance assign you to an Empire, you need to know what kind of strategy will work with that Empire. And if you want to pursue a particular strategy you will want to know how to pick an appropriate Empire to fit strategy. There is a chart that lists all 43 Empires with all of their parameters at the Civilization Fandom Wiki and you might want to bookmark that page for future reference. Also, you want to know what to expect concerning your opponents in a game. Leader You don't have a choice of leaders. When you choose a particular Empire you get the Leader that comes with it. But these leaders are distinct in various ways. To see what I mean, go to the Leader page for one by clicking on the link under the Leader picture. You will see a long list of AI Traits. These describe in numerical terms how competitive the Leader is various ways, how prone to war, which kinds of units it will build, and so on. It is a long list, so your eyes may glaze over, but the significance is that it may give you some insight if this Leader is one of your opponents in a game. This list is how the AI is programmed. There is also more approachable summary under Personality and Behavior, and here is what it says about Pedro II of Brazil: “Pedro will most commonly try for a cultural victory. If he pursues a different victory condition, he is likely to choose a diplomatic one over a scientific or domination victory. Pedro is exceptionally friendly and loyal, and will readily befriend anyone but the most warlike leaders. He is more willing to denounce than to wage war himself, but will maintain a defensive militia comprised of a variety of units. He also has a habit of building a fairly large navy. Fittingly, Pedro's highest priority is the Happiness of his people, followed by the development of his lands and Culture. He will not claim a large territory, but his cities will be highly populated and the land and water around them will be full of improvements. He will sometimes try to build wonders that enhance his Culture and Tourism output. Pedro is friendly toward city-states in his sphere of influence and will often pledge to protect them. He will hardly ever attack or bully them.” Now, the point is that this describes your AI opponent. If you choose to play as Pedro II of Brazil, you can make entirely different decisions from what the AI would do Starting Bias Each Empire will spawn on the map in ways that reflect their Starting Bias, if any. Some Empires (e.g. China, France, etc.) have no Starting Bias at all, which means they can spawn anywhere on the map, though there is programming to ensure that the location is not a disaster, like all Tundra and Ice, or the middle of the ocean. So it will certainly be playable. Still some players like to try 2,3, or 4 times to spawn to see if they can get a good place to start.. For the Empires with a Starting Bias, it can be either positive or negative. For example, the Mongolian Empire has a bias towards starting on plains, which makes sense historically since they came from the plains of Central Asia. The Russian Empire has a bias to start in Tundra, which again seems to fit. The Songhai Empire has a negative Starting Bias, which is to avoid Tundra. The Songhai Empire historically was an empire in sub-Saharan Africa, so this makes sense. And the Siamese Empire avoids Forests. The Roman and Shoshone Empires have no Starting Bias at all, so they could spawn anywhere. This Starting Bias will apply to whichever Empire you choose to play, so if you would prefer to not play with a lot of Tundra, you would de well to not choose Russia. But Russia can do more with Tundra than some other Empire might, so it all balances out. Unique Ability Generally speaking each Empire will have a Unique Ability. For example, the Austrian Empire has the Unique Ability called Diplomatic Marriage, which allows them to spend Gold to annex or puppet any City-State that they have been allied to for at least 5 turns. If the City-State is annexed, it becomes part of the Austrian Empire, but if it is puppeted the City-State technically remains separate but is under the control in some ways of the Austrian Empire. India has a Unique Ability called Population Growth. This doubles the unhappiness caused by more cities, but reduces by 50% the unhappiness caused by increased population. So if you were playing India it is even more important to build Tall rather than Wide. Unique Units Every Empire has at least one, and sometimes two Unique Units. These units replace a normal unit, but are a little better in some respect. They are worth having, but some are more useful than others. And a key factor is when they are available to you. For example, the Celtic Empire gets the Pictish Warrior, which replaces the Spearman. Since the Spearman is generally the first unit you learn to build, it comes very early in the game. So if you were interested in a strategy of early warfare, this might matter to you. The Pictish Warrior is actually weaker than the Spearman in one respect, though, in that it gets no bonus against mounted units. So if you are the Celts, and you are facing the Mongols, you will have a problem. But the Pictish Warrior can pillage without any movement cost. Normally when you use a unit to pillage it ends your turn, but the Pictish Warrior could pillage and then move if it still had movement left. And the Pictish Warrior also has the Foreign Lands Bonus, which gives it a 20% bonus when fighting outside of Celtic territory. And finally the Pictish Warrior gets a Faith bonus when it kills an enemy unit, equal to 50% of the killed unit's strength. The American Empire is one that has 2 Unique Units. One is the B-17 bomber, which replaces the regular Bomber. It comes with 2 promotions (Siege I, and Evasion), and is slightly stronger (70 vs. 65). The problem with this is that it comes so late in the game that it is hard to see what good it will do you. If you are pursuing a Domination strategy you should have already gone most of the way to conquering the world before you actually get the B17. The other Unique Unit the Americans get is the Minuteman, which replaces the Musketman. It comes with a Drill I Promotion, ignores Terrain restrictions, and earns points towards a Golden Age. This is more useful than the B17, but not useful enough to push you towards a Domination victory. But since you need good units for any strategy, if only for defense, it is worth having. Personally, if I was playing as the Americans I would rather go for a Science victory. Unique Buildings/Improvements The last parameter for these Empires is the possible Unique Building or Unique Improvement. Some Empires, such as the Byzantines or the Japanese, do not have one, but they can be useful. For example, the Portuguese Empire has a unique building called the Feitoria which has the interesting property of being built outside of Portugal's territory. The Feitoria, which becomes available once you discover Navigation, can be built in the territory of a Coastal City-State on a Coastal Land tile that has no resources on it. It has three properties: Portugal gets one copy of each Luxury Resource the City-State has. This is great for either increasing Happiness or as something that can be traded with other Empires. +50% defensive strength for any combat units on the tile. Pillaging the Freitoria constitutes an Act of War against Portugal, which means Portugal gets no penalties for going to war. Another example is the Dutch Polder, which can be built on any Marsh or Flood Plain tile. It gives +3 Food, and once you discover Economics it will also yield +1 Production and +1 Gold. Summary Studying the chart of the Empires can help you in picking strategies for the Empire you are playing, or help you to pick an Empire that is well suited to the strategy you want to try. And knowing how the AI is programmed for other Empires helps you to know what to expect in your game. But here are some suggestions.

Welcome back to Sketches in History! This segment, just for kids, shows that history isn't just a story, it's an adventure. Join Lottie Archer as she dives into her extraordinary notebook, where sketches from history come to life!In this episode, Lottie finds a small piece of metal on her grandfather's desk, shiny silver on top and duller gray underneath, a row of tiny holes punched through it in a perfectly straight line, with a tag that reads "Willow Run. April 1944. One every sixty-three minutes." In this episode, your kids will discover what it looks like when a country builds a finished airplane faster than a single class period at school, why a woman saving bacon grease in a coffee tin can be part of the same enormous job as a mile-long factory, and how millions of ordinary people pulling in the same direction at the same time can change the world.Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday.

The B-1B Lancer has been in service for 40-years and her later life has been incredibly busy. With the Lancer's replacement, the B-21 Raider, taking to the skies, you would think the B-1B could look forward to a well earned rest. But, as Kenneth P. Katz brings up to date on the B-1's story, we see that the Lancer's story is far from done. Buy The Supersonic BONE: A Development and Operational History of the B-1 Bomber by Kenneth P.

Investigative journalist Steve Baker joins Jimmy to reveal that forensic gait analysis—using both AI (94% match) and human experts (98% match)—identifies former Capitol Police officer Shauni Kirkoff as the January 5th pipe bomber, not Brian Cole Jr., who Baker argues is being framed. Baker claims the devices were inert and that Kirkoff believed she was participating in a training exercise, noting she knew hidden blind spots and a secret gate, and that two plainclothes Capitol Police officers went directly to the bomb locations the next day.  Baker adds that Kirkoff was already a CIA candidate before January 6th, that FBI whistleblowers say no one in their offices believes Cole is guilty, and that Cole's physical condition and autism make him incapable of the act. Baker was fired from Blaze Media over this reporting due to fear of a defamation lawsuit from Kirkoff's high-powered law firm. Plus segments on Candace Owens unloading on JD Vance for defending Erika Kirk and the phony "ceasefire" that will allow Israel to continue bombing Lebanon. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

At 105 years old, WWII Mosquito pilot Flt Lt Colin Bell, DFC, remains a masterclass in mental discipline and strategic focus. Having survived 50 high-stakes missions over Germany in one of the war's fastest and most dangerous aircraft, Colin breaks down the vital distinction between eliminating fear and controlling it, a survival mindset that translates directly from the cockpit to the highest-pressure environments of the modern world.In this episode, he delivers a sobering warning on the dangers of national and personal complacency, drawing sharp, uncomfortable parallels between the political climate of the 1930s and the world we live in today. Colin also shares the "Mosquito mindset" for living a full and meaningful life: a philosophy rooted in decisive action, ruthless preparation, and the unwavering emotional discipline required to navigate a crisis without losing one's sense of self.This conversation serves as a rare blueprint for building the courage and clarity needed to navigate an increasingly uncertain world.Flt Lt Colin Bell's book Bloody Dangerous: Fifty missions over Germany: The last first-hand account from WW2, is out now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bloody-Dangerous-missions-Germany-first-hand/dp/0349148996Heights

In March 2026, somewhere between 12 and 15 drones overflew the flight line at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana — home to the B-52 bomber fleet, Global Strike Command, and the nuclear command and control communications systems that link the President to America's nuclear arsenal. These weren't hobbyist drones. According to reports they flew in close formation, spread out and conducted various maneuvers, and appeared to be jam resistant. Nobody stopped them.

Download Rumble Wallet and step away from the big banks --- for good! https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/vivafrei ----- Steve Baker is an investigative journalist for Blaze Media, a former January 6 defendant who was pardoned by President Trump, and a vocal skeptic of official narratives surrounding the Capitol events.In our upcoming interview, we'll dive deep into his latest bombshell claims challenging the FBI's case against Brian Cole Jr. as the January 6 pipe bomber, focusing on physical evidence like shoe size mismatches with the suspect captured on video.Baker argues that key forensic details—including the apparent size of the bomber's footwear—prove Cole cannot be the individual who planted the devices outside the DNC and RNC on January 5, 2021, raising serious questions about the investigation.

MAGA Civil War Erupts As Pro-War Neocons Cry “Coup” Of GOP, Massie Says FBI Arrested “Wrong Person” In J6 Pipe Bomber Case & DHS Shutdown Continues

A man robs a grave, murders a hermit, and then decides to take up bombing. A ghost has been standing in the same flooded tunnel for over 160 years. Workers may still be sealed inside one of America's most famous landmarks. A gunman holding dozens of hostages picks up the phone and calls a radio station. A soldier walks off base in the middle of the night — and keeps walking. And a real boy named Ken becomes the most famous plastic man in history. | IT HAPPENED ON *DATE* | The Morning Weird Darkness*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.
