Pocket was the place where you saved articles you never read. The dopamine chute of social networks has killed it

by

I was an Pocket user. And like many others, I still did not read the articles that kept me. It was the condemnation of a service that opted for deferred and repossed reading of all kinds of articles – especially long – but found an apparently invincible nemesis: social networks. Mozilla closes Pocket. The Mozilla organization has announced That closes the Pocket service. On July 8 the platform will stop offering articles and will enter “mode only export”: users can export their articles saved until October 8, 2025, at which time “user data will be deleted permanently.” Reasons. According to those responsible, although Pocket has helped millions to save articles and discover stories that were worth reading, “the way people use the web has evolved, so we are channeling our resources to projects that best fit their navigation and online needs habits. “ A great service … Pocket was born in 2007 as Read It Later, a service that allowed to mark as favorite articles that you could read quietly when it came to you. The idea was gaining traction by focusing on extensive pieces of both journalism and creative writing. Mozilla He bought it In 2017 and made it one of the star services associated with its Firefox browser. … that we did not use so much. Many users will coincide with me that Pocket was fantastic but we did not take advantage of it. I kept keeping articles regularly with the hope of reading them in my Kobo e-book reader (which had this function integrated), but rarely ended up doing so. And on top we used a little bad. Pocket was so simple and comfortable to use that many ended up using it not only to keep promising – but not always wonderful – long texts (Longform), but all kinds of links with news or even tweets. And when you opened Pocket, two things used to happen. The first, the feeling of having another obligation before you, another list of tasks in the form of a list (endless) of articles to read. The second, to throw yourself for the short items that you knew you were going to consume in a short time to be able to “erase” from the list. Check “Reading later” had become a “take it off later.” But it was still a fantastic service, and it has not been we who have killed it. The culprit is another. Doomscrolling. Social networks They have stolen us Our capacity to concentrate. The dopamine chute that they offer us with the famous Doomscrolling has proven unstoppable. We love to displace the screen vertically on our mobile phones to see the following content, and that immediacy and instant gratification have ended up shaking our attention capacity. Until always, Pocket 🙁 Slot machine. The algorithms that govern social networks They are inspired by the slots. Its objective is to generate addiction and have us glued to the platform on duty without leaving it. A study Of 2021, the diabolical simplicity of our way of dealing with these contents revealed precisely. The experiment was overwhelming: A group of participants were given a single video and asked if they preferred to see another or perform a certain task. Another group were given five videos and asked them the same question. The second group was much more predisposed to watch more videos. Then the two groups saw the same number of videos, but the first group saw more diverse videos and the other saw more homogeneous videos. The second group showed its predisposition to see more videos instead of moving on to another task. AND ECO CHAMBERS. These results reflect our current reality. Social networks not only raise infinite content, but also do so Locking us increasingly in echo cameras with homogeneous content that reinforce our tastes and opinions. In Pocket we probably also built a large echo camera, true, but at least we did it, not an algorithm. The problem was to reserve 5, 10 or 15 minutes to read a long article is increasingly difficult before the avalanche of images, texts and especially short videos always suggestive, great and fun. Google Reader moment. Pocket’s closure remembers to some extent that we live with Google Reader, feeds RSS reader that the searches giant killed because although we loved him it was probably not profitable. As in that case, Pocket was a fantastic product but also very niche. And even in that niche, underutilized. Digital Diogenes. In fact, Pocket contributed to Our digital diogenes syndrome. It was the place where you saved, saved and saved articles that you never read. In that sense, it was less functional than Google Reader, that when you used you did, you took it to read those headlines of the news that were coming from the feed RSS. But that Save everything syndrome In order not to consume it or enjoy it, it occurs in many other scenarios, Like photos and videos of the mobile or in the video games that we download and to those who will never play. In fact it is not that we no longer play: is that We prefer to see others play. Alternatives. Pocket’s death makes us look for inevitable alternatives to continue keeping articles that we may never read. Among them stands out Instapaperbut they are also Readwise, Wallabag, Rindropeither Mymind. For those who have a kobo there is also somebut not so direct. Curse.

The history of the iPod that saved it is a story of secrets and technical miracles

by

“Today it is almost impossible to imagine it, but there was a time when Apple was about to disappear”Thus, our new episode of ‘Xataka presents’ starts, with a direct squeak to the history of one of the most admired companies on the planet. And it is not just a good beginning: it is a reality that many people have forgotten. In this series we have already explored other curious stories of technology, Like Bonzi Buddythat purple virtual assistant who promised to help and ended up becoming a digital nightmare. When we think today in Apple, we think of leadership, in innovation, an ecosystem that many try to imitate. But there was a time when all that seemed a mirage. Apple was against the strings. And if he managed to survive, it was thanks to a series of decisions that, seen in retrospect, seem almost miraculous. What decisions were those? What product was so important that the company’s trajectory changed completely? And above all, how was it possible that A seemingly simple device (A music player) will end up being the turning point of an entire era? If you are passionate about technology as well as us, this video is a mandatory trip. Because we don’t talk only about iPod. We talked about vision, of risk, of moments when everything could go wrong. How a company without experience in pocket products, without know-how In lithium batteries or portable software, he threw himself to the unknown … and won. “The iPod was that product and it was a success,” says our partner Jota García in the video. But getting there was anything but easy. After the purchase of NextSteve Jobs had returned to Apple with a clear mission. The IMAC had already been a first blow on the table, but it was not enough. Napster stirred the foundations of the music industry. The CDs began to lose ground. The world asked for another way of consuming music. Jobs, as always, didn’t want to settle. “He didn’t want to make another partner of the pile. He wanted to do the best. The most elegant, the fastest, the simplest.” Hence an unusual piece: “A 1.8 -inch Toshiba hard drive, compact, light and with 5 GB of capacity.” And from there a phrase was born that would end up defining a whole generation: a thousand songs in your pocket. And did you know that the name “iPod” was not even Apple’s idea? Or that the project was almost secret and was about to be canceled more than once? In the video we break up step by step how Apple went from the “P-68” to the device that would change everything. “They had no experience by manufacturing pocket products. They did not handle lithium batteries, they did not have software for portable devices … ”. The Apple at that time was not the Apple now. It was a vulnerable company. And yet it was launched with everything. The rest is history … but a story with many nuances. Because when Jobs presented the iPod, not everything was ovation. “The day Apple presented the iPod … almost nobody cared.” It cost $ 399, it worked only with Mac, and many media criticized him openly. And yet, there was the magic: Apple’s story was beginning to rewrite, although few knew it yet. In the video we relive that moment, and also how, step by step, Apple broke his own rules to change his destiny. In addition, we navigate the history of the iPod until its disappearance and his legacy on the iPhone. But that story not only serves to understand the past, it also helps us to contrast two very different times. That Apple that improvised to survive Today is one of the most valuable companies in the worldbut still making strategic decisions not to be left behind. In full career for artificial intelligence, he has presented Apple Intelligence and has announced the integration of Chatgpt In their operating systems. All that, as then, with one goal: to continue in the race when the direction of technology changes again. Did you have an iPod? Do you remember the song you listened to most? Leave it in the comments. And give the play. Because if you ever thought that everything had already been told about Apple … You haven’t seen this video yet.

And suddenly, a great battery and the Sun of Murcia saved me from the great blackout

by

After a crisis, a couple of disturbing war conflicts, Trump’s second mandate And a worldwide pandemic, The biggest blackout in Spain I shouldn’t have caused me so much concern. But at home, at three o’clock at the beginning and with the children newcomers of the school, his nervousness was very evident. And ours. No electricity grid for almost 12 hours And disconnected from the world almost the same hours except for the blessed radio to batteries, at home the tranquility for the tense and indefinite wait came to us in the most unexpected way: the radiant sun of Murcia and some test batteries in Xataka. This is the story of how some Solar panels connected to a large battery The great blackout of Spain mitigated at home. The reality that everything works with electricity The entrance/exit door of the work center, which we usually opened through an application installed on the mobile, only paid attention to our need to exit urgently when the concierge, analog key in hand, opened it and threw from it under the almost 30 degrees of two in the afternoon in Murcia. At the end of April. “Googlear” if the suppliers of the service stations need food to work, something that would have taken me 10 seconds at another time, was the beginning of many hours of energy uncertainty whose solution did not remember that I had at home On the way by car home, with the deposit near the reserve and without knowing for sure if the suppliers need food to function – or possibility of Googlear the answer to my doubt – the radio was the only point of connection with the real situation. Because the theories about what was happening did not take 10 seconds to run from Boca by ear and another ear … Suddenly, everyone had spoken with a family member abroad who confirmed without any doubt that it was a European issue. What European, world. An “makeshift” installation of solar panels on the home terrace With the few news that I could hear about what was happening I got home. The atmosphere was very similar to that of pandemic, with uncertainty dominating everything. And the feeling of living too many things for the first time. The noon food had to improvise according to very clear criteria: use the perishable of a refrigerator that we did not know when it would be operational and resort to gas barbecue. Yes, the induction cuisine does not get along with the lack of electricity. Already with the serenity that gives the stomach well attended, as a game to calm the kids, we analyze the situation at home and draw a plan for the afternoon. We are looking for lanterns, laptops, “powerbanks” and any device that could be charged. The smartphones and tablets between them. To do so we had an immense, literally, allied at home: some ecoflow batteries tested in Xataka. Time to recharge everything rechargeable. And cook the “cooking” With the internal load of the batteries, a main of 4,000 mAh and an assistant of the same capacity, almost 80%, the four plugs and four USB ports (two of type C and two of type a) they began to recharge everything that we found at home. Including the batteries that we already know that they must be in every emergency kit that boasts. Without the possibility of loading of any kind, the solar batteries of the house offered a recharge point to family and friends who requested it The objective was that, if the situation was extended until night, we could have operational devices And of course Lights ready so that, at least at home, the situation was the most similar normality. Batteries, camping and reading/leisure lights for the long wait Since it was still the beginning of the afternoon in Murcia, the batteries continued to recharge to the usual rhythm in their “rush hour”, about 1,000-1.200 W per hour. One of the great advantages of these Ecoflow batteries for recharge is that they can be feed both from the electricity and connected directly to solar panels. The radio we were about to “recycle” last summer We take advantage of this situation of energy surplus for both less important issues and relax with a fresh coffee and to use certain thermomix type appliances, the microwave or a small electric oven. Everything we could take advantage of that solar energy seemed to us a good idea at that time. Things of situations that are first lived. Mobile of friends and family who lived near them were recharged with our house battery We also rejoice at home of having stored an old analog radio because, without data or functional telephone, it was our only source of reliable information. The great blackout was not this time through streets. No neighborhoods. Not even in cities. But the most alarming was that the duration of it was a great unknown. So the very few moments of connectivity allowed us Offer our batteries to family and friends They lived close to recharge their mobile phones. And without sun, the batteries take control of the house With the different official information about everything that happened arriving via radio but on droppers, the sunset reached us at home with the unknown about what would take the electricity grid of our Murcia area to be operational. So without a sun, it was time to start squeezing the Energy stored throughout the day until it exhausts her. At night, the solar battery was ready to use the stored energy and feed the refrigerator for hours and thereby save food for a very valuable time The system that we have ecoflow proof does not allow energy injection to the home network itself if it is not connected to the general. But his poOutput tenance of up to 4000 W gives us the possibility to use powerful appliances in a timely manner, as we did with the water tank or microwave. At night, in … Read more

He was saved by a script that did not admit a detour

by

In June 2024, Apple presented one of the most ambitious movements in its recent history: the integration of Apple Intelligence on its devices and, with it, a reinvention of Siri. That Keynote promised something that many had been waiting for years: a truly useful assistant, capable of understanding the User contextoffer precise answers and execute actions taking into account our personal information. Concert tickets, hotel reservations, shared links in messages or calendar locations: everything would be available to the new Siri. The enthusiasm was immediate. Apple raised it as an important transformation and, implicitly, as one of the necessary steps to catch up in the race for artificial intelligence (AI), accelerated after the launch of Chatgpt In November 2022. But the illusion evaporated soon. In March this year, The company confirmed that Siri’s new version would not be available until 2026. The announcement was a dry brake. For many, it was not just a disappointment: It was a blow to the credibility that Apple had been growing for years. And, despite this, the company did not offer too many explanations. The future simply was postponed. We cannot deny that Apple knows how to handle times. Dominates as nobody the art of anticipating what is to come, even when what it appears apparently is not completely finished. John Gruber hinted at himone of the most influential voices of the Apple environment, noting that some of the functions presented at the WWDC probably did not exist as such. Or, if they did, they were still far from being functional. The secrets behind one of the most epic technological presentations in history And it is not the first time. In fact, this strategy has a clear precedent, perhaps the most revealing of all: The presentation of the first iPhone in 2007. An event that has become myth within the history of technological marketing, with Steve Jobs announcing “a revolutionary and magical product.” But what few knew then, and many still ignore today, is that this device just worked on the day of their debut. Literally. A report by The New York Magazinebased on interviews with former Apple employees, reveals the ins and outs of that historical Keynote. Among the testimonies, Andy Grignon, a senior engineer responsible for the device communication modules, stands out. According to the iPhone software, it was plagued with errors: the songs were half reproduced, the videos tended to block and The system could collapse If the tasks were not executed in the precise order. The memory was so limited that a few simultaneous operations were enough to cause a restart. Given such a panorama, the engineers designed an emergency solution: “The Golden Way.” It was an exact sequence of actions that Jobs had to continue without deviating a millimeter. Only then could they make sure the phone did not stop responding in full demo. To cover your back, Jobs would have several identical units on stage. If one was blocked, it would happen to the next without the public noticing. To that technical tension, they explain, the aesthetic demand was added. Jobs didn’t want a camera to sign up for the device to show it on screen. I wanted one direct projectionclean, without visual interference. To achieve this, the engineers incorporated personalized plates and video cables that extracted the signal of the iPhone itself and sent it to the projector. It was a fragile and artisanal system, but it fulfilled its mission: it made everything seem natural, almost magical. The wifi was another headache. With thousands of people in the room, many with technical knowledge, connectivity could be compromised. To avoid this, Apple modified the Airport software responsible for giving connection to the iPhone, adapting it to operate at frequencies reserved to Japan, outside the usual range in the United States. A risky, but effective trick to ensure a stable signal during the presentation. The calls were also carefully prepared. AT&T, at the time exclusive partner of the iPhone, installed a portable mobile tower To guarantee a stable signal. Even so, demo devices were configured to always show five coverage bars, regardless of the real quality of the connection. Against all forecast, the presentation was impeccable. Jobs followed the script with surgical precision: he showed music and videos, sailed on web pages, sent messages, made a call, explored photos with tactile gestures and, in one of the most iconic moments, used Google Maps to locate a Starbucks and ask, like a wink, 4,000 coffees. The public surrendered. No one could imagine that this advanced iPhone was, at least at that time, a perfectly rehearsed staging. The level of secrecy was such that, according to The New York Magazine, one of the engineers interviewed assured that some suppliers, such as Marvel Technologies, did not know until the same day of the presentation that their Wi -Fi and Bluetooth chips were being used on a mobile phone, and not on an ipod. Apple even designed false schemes to mislead and avoid leaks. We may be, once again, before one of those staging that Apple dominates like nobody. We do not know with certainty how advanced is the new Siri, but the truth is that, unlike what happened with the iPhone, We are still waiting to see your most ambitious proposal in years. Siri aims to become a transforming tool, but for now it has not gone from being a promise.

KTM is saved from the catastrophe. It is the proof of the power of Indian manufacturers

KTM has faced the most complicated beginning of the year. The company faced A bankruptcy situationforced to part with brands such as MV Augusta, and the waiting of a restructuring plan that would completely change the current strategy of the orange giant. Finally, good news comes. KTM has achieved the approval of its restructuring planwith the promise of an important capital and green light injection to resume production in the middle of next March. The plan includes the payment of 30% of this debt to its creditors, mobilizing another 150 million to resume production in its main factory located in Muchofen, Austria. “The total planned capacity of the four production lines in operation of a single shift will be achieved within a period of three months,” they say from Piere Mobility Ag. In Xataka The 12 cheapest electric motorcycles and with more autonomy: the best quality-price options These figures will be achieved thanks, among others, to the financial support of Bajaj Auto, one of the main KTM partners and in charge of manufacturing almost half of the manufacturer’s motorcycles, in addition to manufacturing for other premium companies, such as Triumph. {“Videid”: “X939600”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “This is the Kawasaki Hyse, its hydrogen motorcycle”, “Tag”: “Kawasaki”, “Duration”: “132”} As you collect ReutersThe shares of Pierer Mobility AG rose 16.7% last Tuesday in response to acceptance by the creditors of the company’s suborganization plan, KTM AG. They have not transcended details about the restructuring plan, on which the company’s future depends to be profitable. Stock accumulationan important expense for competing in MotoGP, and a little competitive price strategy (something that is beginning to reverse with the new KTM 390 ADV) are some of the factors that have led the company to its current situation.

My concentration ability takes a long time. Working in a laptop almost 15 years ago has saved me

Our care economy is broken. Completely. We are continuously bombarded by stimuli that come by many ways and the consequence is clear: We distracted ourselves with the flight of a fly. It is curious how this is causing a change not only in us, that we look for methods not to distract us, but in elements such as an entertainment industry that has changed its way of capturing our attention. There are two very clear examples of this. Music is one more or less obvious, with increasingly short songs (just a couple of minutes) and, some, with the chorus as the beginning of the theme. In addition, these choruses are also short to fit in the 15 seconds that you can share in an Instagram story. Another example is that of films, with trailers of a couple of minutes that begin with a trailer trailer itself. Here are an example of ‘TOP GUN MAVERICK‘, whose trailer starts with a five -second teaser with images that we will see below: Many more films make this, being a marketing resource that begs us to Let’s pay attention For two minutes. They seem to beg a “Please, pay attention to me, cool things come”. Due to that constant information bombardment, We seek to be productive when we are hyperstimulated And we read books, we learn from successful people, we put into practice supposedly infallible methods, we download applications and, sometimes, we spend more time looking for how to be productive That, really, being. I have to say that I have found a secret to Improve my productivity: Working on a computer that prevents me from opening more than three tabs at the same time. And – at least to me – it works. A hardware barrier If you are reading this it is because you have looked for ways to be more productive and not distract you. I have done it and I have installed everything on my computer, I have configured Ways not to bother the phone And even issues that restrict apps during work hours, but the meat is weak and the finger always tends to go open Bluesky or worse Instagram and Tiktok. One day it occurred to me that, if the software did not limit me, perhaps the hardware would. I went to the closet and took out of the box (I am one of those who keep the boxes of what he buys) My university laptop: a 2011 MacBook Pro. 16 GB of RAM A double -core i5 at a few 2.4 GHz and 13 inches of screen. Years ago I replaced his hard drive with a SSD and I was surprised to light after so many years. What did not work was the charger (nothing that does not solve Amazon and some 20 euros), so I configured it and came across the first problem: I was very outdated. Not only could he not update to a new operating system, but browsers such as Edge, Chrome or your own Safari They were insuffically slow. Nor could I install some applications that I use on a day -to -day basis, such as Notion, because they require a more recent version of the system, so I did with a Firefox Legacy and configured it so that Notion Be the default opening page. You will be wondering why I tell you this, and there I go: when I changed this laptop for a more recent one in 2017, something was already slow and having more than 4-5 tabs in a browser was unfeasible. Despite the 16 GB of RAM, the processor could not with so much without making the fan a turbine, without heating the chassis and without making the system on pull. Precisely, the reason that forced me to make the leap to Infame Macbook Pro with butterfly keyboardIt is the one that made me come back because I wanted, precisely, that. I explain: when I work on a website like Xataka, I do it with a lot of open eyelashes to search for sources. I have Telegram installed, YouTube Music, an image editor and Many times I open, almost by inertia, some social network Or youtube if I don’t feel inspired. With issues such as news or reports, having that overestimulation does not bother me because I know it is something that will take me for a while and then I will happen to something else, but the thing changes when I have an analysis or an opinion article. Does the screen divided there? Neither joke For this type of texts, the concentration is key. You have to turn your thoughts and structure them in a certain way. You cannot afford to get distracted because you lose your thread, and those distractions do not exist with a laptop from almost 15 years ago. If I have more than three tabs open at the same time, the Mac goes to the idle, so I only have notion, Perplexity (precisely to look for something and have many options in a single tab instead of many sources in many tabs) and YouTube Music. Web Telegram It is not an option, for example, and as soon as I have four tabs, the processor is already asking for rest. That with four Firefox tabs That technological barrier, almost physicalnot only does it exist because of how the Mac would go if I open more eyelashes: the screen also plays a paper. 13 inches are not bad and many current laptops have that diagonal, but here the resolution is 1280 x 800 pixels. Translation: scarce, much, so much that putting a game is not an option. Not having a high resolution, putting a split screen is unfeasible, which forces me to have a single screen I am writing, preventing you from having an eye in my text and another in a YouTube video, for example. As I said, it works for me and it is something that I have incorporated into my work routine. … Read more

Two videos show how 80 people from a plane have saved life in the last plane crash. There is triple explanation

by

After the tragic accident last month Between an American Airlines plane and an United States army helicopter that left 67 dead, on Monday there was a similar scene when it occurred A forced landing of Delta Air Lines’s flight 4819 In Toronto. Two videos showed rawly the scene that the 80 people who went on board and who ended the plane turned. And yet, it did not end in tragedy. How could they be saved? The “miracle.” Delta Air Lines’s flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, made a seemingly normal landing at the Pearson International Airport in Toronto until, Suddenly, everything went wrong. As soon as the wheels began to touch the wheel, the plane slipped, hit its right wing, turned on its axis and ended upside down, leaving an absolute chaos scene. But as we said, and despite the violence of the accident, The 80 passengers and crew managed to survivealthough 18 were injured, including an adult and a child in critical condition, although already out of danger. The impact and the fight to escape. They counted at the Washington Post in a report report that the passengers described the impact as “collide with a wall” before the plane turned. When they were face down, many remained suspended by their seat belts, seeing how the fuel slid through the windows and the fire consumed part of the aircraft. Pete Carlson, a paramedic on board, managed to unbutch and drop to the roof of the planenow turned into the ground, before helping others free from their seats. Meanwhile, passengers, in shock, collaborated with each other to get out as quickly as possible. A video recorded by Pete Koukovanother passenger, showed the crew organizing the evacuation with firm and urgent instructions, guiding people through emergency doors in an inverted plane, a rare scenario in aerial accidents. Outside, firefighters sprayed fushes with foam, while black smoke and flames hindered visibility in full snowstorm. How tragedy was avoided. In front of many Other aerial catastrophes More or less recent, experts have been detailing these days how the “miracle” was possible. Actually and as we will see, there is not a single factor, but several that helped that finally there was not a single death. Three were the main factors that we describe. Plane design and safety measures. He Bombardier CRJ900like all modern commercial planes, it is built with standards called “Crashworthiness”which means that its structure, safety belts and seats are designed to maximize survival in case of impact. In this regard, the cabin absorbed much of the strength of the crash without disintegrating, allowing passengers to go alive. According to Graham Braithwaiteexpert in aeronautics at the University of Cranfield, these elements were fundamental for passengers to resist the impact of the overturn without fatal injuries. Professor Michael J. McCormickfrom the Embry-Riddle University, stood out in the post That engineering and aeronautical regulations have advanced so much that accidents that in the past would have been lethal can now result in total survival. Assessment of the crew. Equally important that the design of the aircraft was crew trainingdecisive to organize a rapid and effective evacuation. Despite confusion and chaos, they managed to maintain order and get everyone out of the plane in a matter of minutes, even with the aircraft dump. Here it is important to remember that the regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) require that Any plane with more than 44 passengers can be evacuated in less than 90 seconds. However, in this case, the evacuation was more complex because the plane was overturned, hindering the orientation and exit of the passengers. Immediate response of emergency equipment. The third of the key legs. Toronto airport authorities acted rapidlyensuring the area and preventing the fire from extending to fuel deposits. The first air control reports confirmed the severity of the situation: “The plane is face down and in flames”, which led to a rapid mobilization of rescue equipment. According to the norms of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), rescue teams They must respond in less than two minutes. In this case, firefighters and paramedics arrived at the place in a matter of minutes, stifled the fire and helped evacuate passengers. Causes of the accident. Although the exact cause of the accident has not yet been determined, it is known that landing occurred under wind conditions up to 70 km/hyve accumulated On the track after two recent storms. Thus, the airport firefighters ruled out problems with the track, which suggests that other factors, such as mechanical failure or human error, could have influenced. Be that as it may, in a context where Recent air accidents They have resulted in fatal tragediesthe total survival of flight passengers 4819 is a real testimony of the advance in aeronautical engineering, security protocols and emergency response. Although The images of the airplane burned and overturned They suggest an inevitable disaster, the combination of these factors allowed to avoid the worst. As Carlson underlined In his interview, after leaving the plane I only thought about one thing: “I didn’t care about the cold, I didn’t care how much I had to walk, all we wanted to be out of the plane.” Image | Yyzbrennan In Xataka | The main suspect of the plane crash in South Korea is common in aviation.
