The WV diesel cheat was discovered by some collage students and did not have a standard test rig and put all the testing equipment inside the car and drove it on the street. The program reduced the power and emissions when only the drive wheels were spinning and the other wheels were stationary. So technically it was reducing emissions but only during the test.

The Volkswagen clean diesel scandal was a little more complicated than indicated in this video. Standardized testing such as that done by the EPA, or cities with their own smog emissions testing would all indicate that everything was fine and the emissions were well within acceptable limits. What happened was three college students conducted their own testing with the vehicles while the vehicles were actually driving on roads rather than stationary and hooked up to a testing device. For example, the cheat software built into the cars would greatly limit the emissions of the vehicle if various sensors detected that the vehicle wasn’t moving but the engine was under load- as what happens during all standardized testing. Once the sensors realized the vehicle was moving (everyday driving) it allowed the engine to produce emissions that were exponentially higher than allowed. This is why their engineering seemed so amazing at the time. They were seemingly able to get all the benefits of a diesel; great fuel economy and plenty of power, without the extremely high emissions. Despite it being proven that the upper echelon of Volkswagen’s engineering and executive personnel knew all about it, no one spent a day in prison for it.

Yeah it certainly wasn't the EPA discovering the issue. Pretty sneaky cutting the power produced under testing conditions to levels that would've been completely unacceptable to consumers to reduce the apparent emissions and pass the test Just a big a crime to me, is how complicated unrealistic the EPA tests for MPG are compared to real world driving. Supposedly companies have complained and filed lawsuits b/c they knew their customers would be upset when the car the purchase never gets close to the milage the EPA ratings report.

That's not always the case. Liberty ships were built with the intention / expectation they'd only need to survive crossing the atlantic 3 times. Not round trips, just 3 times across the ocean. It was found that the ships had an engineered weakness in the middle of the hull that would often lead to the 3 *week* old ship breaking in half. Later a stiffener was added amidships and some liberty ships were still in use in the 70's. With bulk crude tankers, many of the smaller vessels are operating on 1960s equipment / technology. Panamax and Suezmax are the normal tanker being built, with the smaller units being used mainly as ferries for shallow water ports. This was a ship that had been used up already, but the owners were going to use it till it sank.

@@basillah7650 No aircraft fuselage is going to survive a train derailment. The stresses of rail transport are very different from flight stresses. In flight, the weight of the fuselage is borne by the wings. On the tarmac, the weight is borne mostly by the main gear, which is under the wings. In both instances, the weight is supported at the center of gravity. They do not make fuselage transporting rail cars. For rail transport, wheel trucks are fastened to the nose and tail of the fuselage, so the weight of the fuselage is not supported at the middle, but at the ends. With the ends hanging off of the middle, the bottom is compressed and the top is in tension. Supported only at the ends, the top is compressed and the bottom is in tension. This is a reversal of the normal state of affairs, so an engineer crunched the numbers and determined that expected railway conditions would not break anything, but derailments are unexpected events.

This was common knowledge in the UK by a LOT of MOT testers and mechanics - and was common in FAR more vehicles than just VW. It was very much an open secret as at the time, sidestepping nanny-state rules wasn't illegal just "creative". Now of course, all the owners who have campaigned for the RIGHT to have their engines "updated", now realise they have lost economy and lost performance. No great surprise to anyone that understands the BASICS of stochiometric combustion (while allowing a tiny bit rich). But so many owners seem genuinely surprised that the engine firmware was designed to give the best performance / economy balance all along - and just run like a pig to get through the emissions. Now it just runs like a pig ALL the time.

The $135,000,000 price tag to repair the sub is mindblowing. I mean, knowing just a little about construction, and having been a mechanic, both automotive and marine, for a couple of decades, coming up with costs to add up to that amount is insane. Figure materials, man hours and the probably most expensive thing, tech, it's still hard to bring it up to that figure! The amount of money spent on government contracts is obscene. And that figure was just to replace the nose cone portion of the sub! It shows one of the many examples of how prices have been driven up by people valuing their R & D at pretty much any dollar figure they like. (it's one of the major forces behind pharmaceutical pricing)

1: The San Francisco's reactor had just been refuelled, which is a very expensive once-in-a-lifetime event for those reactors. The Navy had just put a huge amount of money into modernizing the sub; writing it off would have made that a waste. 2: The SF was barely halfway through her expected life. At the time, she was expected to remain in service until 2017; she ended up staying until 2022. If she had been retired, the Navy would have had to make up for her loss by either cutting the downtime and maintenance intervals of other submarines (which you know wears them faster and increases the risk of major failure) order a fully new submarine to replace her, which would have cost much more than $135 million and taken several years to be completed. 3: They saved costs where possible. They didn't actually repair the SF's bow; they replaced it with the bow of USS Honolulu, which was soon to be retired and had not received the refuelling and upgrades mentioned in 1. For comparision, it was initially estimated that modernizing Honolulu to replace SF would have cost $90 million MORE than SF's repair cost.

1:50 "the inspectors failed to detect..." be careful there, they may have failed to detect, or they simply weren't given enough man power to detect because the rail company that owns those lines got cheap, or and IMO probably most likely they did detect the problems it's simply the RR company that owns the tracks failed to make repairs.

Do you want me to point out every single mislabeled car on that graphic for the trailer? The Aston Martin you showed was not, in fact, a DB11, but merely a DB9. The two Ferraris weren't $100,000-$200,000 F430s, but two $3,000,000-$4,000,000 Ferrari Enzos, which would have made this a much more expensive accident. The Aventador you showed, while still being an Aventador, was a higher trim SV, rather than the base trim, the LP700-4. That nissan GT-R wasn't an R35 trim, but a Nismo, which is a more track focused variant. I believe that all the cars damaged were correctly named, but that animated images you showed were slightly off.

Submarine crash.... Back in 1983, my Navy frigate (smaller ASW ship) had just departed for our Med/IO Deployment. Three days out in the Atlantic, we hit a whale. Not joking! We all felt the impact, but no injuries. It split our big rubber sonar dome open, letting seawater into the transducers, which require fresh water. We had to turn around and go into drydock for a month to get it replaced. That was pretty expensive. 😮 But we got to spend the Christmas holidays in our "first foreign liberty port", Brooklyn, NY. 😅

Could be because they didn't go bust. Sales dropped but only by about 10% and that did effect the stock price in the short term. Their stock prices and sales have increasing again. The biggest issue for you and the others that took a stand is that it did F'all to sales outside of America. Sorry, the big Bud boycott was about as effective as the convoy that went to the border and *didn't* see anything of what fox and newsmax and Bannon and all the other prat's were telling you or them.
