I don't know if this explanation will help because words. Using the photo plane as reference:

Two tools, a flat head screw driver wider than the vertical gap where the hook is, and a needle nose pliers. The screwdriver is going to be used to try to rotate the hook to the bottom left to clear the horizontal metal band, while squeezing the two bars midway to help bring the hook tip past the horizontal bar

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise

Ok

Those are rotating jet turbines. To my limited knowledge there's no way to just stop them. They wind down even if they had turned them off. The very first article I found searching his name showed him approach a jet that was slowly moving across the tarmac, which obviously means the turbines were turning and not going to just immediately lock up if turned off.

I don't even know that the pilots would've seen him from the footage I saw in the one article I looked at.

According to the article, this isn't even recapturing CO2. It's grabbing plant/decomposable waste before it rots, turning it into these dense bricks, and burying it under ground. Like, collecting corn husks from farmers. This feels stupid to me and like a big gimmick.

At the time of this comment, 3 down voters. Who are these people? Anti foie gras people to the point of it being even mentioned gets a down vote? Heavy drinkers that hate French food? Ducks or geese that have opposable thumbs?

I guess that's a caption not a "what's going on" but I'm sticking with it

The poor tree never crossed tiger again

Book bans all the way down

I'm not really answering that question as much as adding a recommendation for another author, so hopefully you don't mind.

Check out the Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. Hugo and nebula awards were awarded for novels in the trilogy, and I tore right through them. She has a short story collection that I read first and it really hooked me in. Such a wide variety of worlds, peoples, and consciousness she's able to bring to life. The title doesn't make you think "sci Fi shorts" but I assure you it is, and fantastic! "How Long 'til Black Future Month?"

Shit. You spoke of it. Sorry for your loss.
