Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ludder093: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FaZOdILXEAQlIjA?format=jpg&name=small  Attached File Attached File"This cuirass was worn by Fran ois-Antoine Fauveau, and we're lucky enough that history had preserved his story. A butter maker by trade, Fauveau was born on January 18, 1792. His military service record notes his appearance: "Long face, open forehead, blue eyes, aquiline nose, small mouth, dimple chin, brown hair and eyebrows; his face was marked with foxing (or, freckles). He stood 5' 8" and was assigned on May 21, 1815, to the 2nd regiment of riflemen. As fate would have it, Fauveau found himself at the now-iconic battle of Waterloo less than a month after the beginning of his service. On June 18, 1815, this devastating wound took his life on the field of battle. He was just 23. The carnage also tells a tale of Fauveau's last moments. We know that he was facing the enemy and galloping at a full charge with his fellow riders. They were attempting to attack a British square formation when Fauveau was struck at a slight angle by the cannonball, and given the angle and location of distortion, we know that it went right through him, blowing fragments of the cuirass into his chest and then out and away from his body as it passed through him completely. The piece was recovered from the field by a farmer not long after the battle in 1815, and it was held in private collections before making its way to the Musee de l'Armee." From Ammoland article. |

One of those 9mm cannonballs I guess. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By runfrumu: wtf makes a wave that big? What's happening there is a large seamount. It's an island that doesn't rise above the water level. There's also a lot of water moving behind that wave, and it just makes a big wave. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By runfrumu: wtf makes a wave that big? @runfrumu https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20211031-how-a-portuguese-fishing-village-tamed-a-100ft-wave The size and unpredictability of the waves at Nazaré are caused by a submarine canyon that is 200km long and 5km deep. The difference in depth between the bottom of the canyon and the continental shelf splits waves into two. In the shallower area, the speed of the wave reduces, but inside the canyon it maintains the speed it was travelling in the deep ocean. The two collide, creating one bigger wave, which then impacts the currents near the shore, leading to a second amplification. Article at link |

Makoto Ogawa (pilot)
Makoto Ogawa (小川 誠, Ogawa Makoto, born February 1917) was Japanese Army aviator known for achieving flying ace status against Boeing B-29 Superfortresses during World War II. In carrying out his duties, he downed the highest number of B-29s among the pilots in his air group—seven confirmed—and also two North American P-51 Mustangs.[1] He was awarded the Bukosho, the highest award given by the Imperial Japanese Army to living soldiers who demonstrated exceptionally valorous action in combat. He is still alive! |

The party was a bit of a dud as all the celebratory champagne was flat, that is until the guests started to leave the pressurized chamber. |
