The rule is no shooting someone who has ejected/ditched from a plane, shooting at paratroopers dropping in is allowed. I dont know how Geneva would take this one, cause it isn't a parachute, they guy isn't ditching a damaged plane, but he is injured

The use of water sprayers during rocket launches aren't for dust or smoke, they are used for sound suppression. The shear intensity of sound coming from the rocket can damage the launchpad, so they use water to absorb enough of the sound energy to prevent damage

The aircraft will try to roll, depending on how far stuck down it is it can be unrecoverable, there are safeguards designed to prevent this

The signal to control drones in a hurricane would likely be a huge hurdle to overcome in order to use drones. and people are much more adaptive to system issues/failures than drones.

I've worked as an aircraft mechanic for five years, and I drive past one regularly

Nope, some passenger planes use it to help ensure that the tail doesn't hit, since passenger bags and other cargo are loaded in the back of the plane as well as in the belly.

Some 737s do use a tail stand pole while loading/unloading

This is not from passengers boarding, this is from cargo/baggage being either loaded before passengers, or passengers exiting before the cargo/baggage can be removed. The ramp crew didn't install the pole that specifically prevents this from occurring.

There are several planes nowadays that do use a pole placed at the back to prevent the tail from hitting the ground while loading/unloading.

There are several planes that require a pole be placed at the back of the plane when it goes into the gate, specifically for loading/unloading.

Aircraft carriers used to have all sorts of cats on them. Tomcats, bearcats, hellcats, etc.

My favorite is his one on superheterodyne radios. I was first introduced to his content because I was shown that vid in a class where I was learning to work on radios.

Not all uses were banned, the only thing about them totally banned was production

Yeah, but I think yelling "I cast TUNGSTEN BALLSACK" sounds funnier than "TUNGSTEN BALLS"

But imagine how much it would hurt to walk with a solid ballsack between your legs, also the weight hanging there would suck

Rebels stole the plans for the *first* death star from scariff, the Bothans stole the plans for the *second* death star

The fact the guy on stage didn't react to the drone going over his setup means it was likely planned. So they could very well have gotten permission from whoever they needed it from.

I've seen places that have a little light up sign, and others that have a candle
