Your reply disproves none of the information provided in the material I posted. NASA is wrong? The EPA is wrong? All of the rest are as well? Really?

Sports/Entertainment/MSM/Social Media / Speedboat crashes after flying through air at popular Arizona lake
« Last post by mystery-ak on Today at 07:30:47 pm »Wild video shows speedboat crash after flying through air at popular Arizona lake
Fellow boater says the two racers are alive for one reason: 'That boat was built not to come apart'
By Greg Wehner Fox News
Published April 27, 2025 3:57pm EDT
Two speedboat racers are lucky to be alive after a terrifying crash at Lake Havasu in Arizona on Saturday in which their vessel went flipping and flying through the air before slamming back onto the surface of the water.
The frightening scene was captured on video as the speedboat was attempting to break a 206-mph speed record on the lake. It happened during an event called Desert Storm Shugrue's Shootout.
In the video, the white 10,000-horsepower boat was seen cruising at a high speed on the lake’s surface while being followed by a helicopter with a camera attached to the bottom.
The vessel appeared to be skipping like a stone when the front of it tilted just enough for the wind to pick it up, causing the boat to backflip completely.
But the wild ride did not end there. In fact, the boat remained in the air and turned nearly 360 degrees horizontally before the front corner caught the water as it began to flip vertically once more.
Spectators could be heard on the original video swearing in disbelief at what they had just seen.
FOX 10 in Phoenix reported that both racers on board, who are with Freedom One Racing and go by the aliases John Wayne and Clint Eastwood to hide their identities, walked away from the crash.
The station spoke with Ray Lee of Speedboat Magazine, who said the racing team was hoping to make history over the weekend.

@HarbingerEye
She ignored the flight safety warnings of her male flight instructor (not co-pilot) during her annual checkride.
Important distinction: A co-pilot is a second pilot who assists the captain in operating an aircraft in multi-crew operations, while a flight instructor is a certified pilot who teaches and trains student pilots in aviation skills and knowledge.
A checkride is a formal evaluation conducted by a designated pilot examiner (who usually is also a flight instructor) to assess a pilot’s skills, knowledge, and decision-making abilities to determine if they meet the requirements to obtain or retain a specific pilot certificate or rating (such as a pilot's license or night rating).
The pilot under evaluation is considered the pilot-in-command during a checkride. During a checkride, the examiner would only intervene during serious or life threatening errors to ensure safety. When the pilot under evaluation willfully ignores the safety warnings or interventions of the examiner, they will almost certainly fail the checkride. The incident would also be recorded in the evaluation report, and the pilot would have to undergo remedial training and likely be subject to an investigation by the licensing authority.
