I am not exactly sure why, but i can't help but think of the spark you'd get from using an angle grinder on metal ...

I'm thinking more of the flames of jet fuel on steel beams.

The remaining planes that were in the air at the end must have been military aircraft.

flights implies commercial
Most of those remaining aircraft are either holding before landing, still en-route to an airport or already out of the restricted US airspace that was affected by the flight ban.

Military aircraft don't get reported to flight radar.
Speaking of military flights though:

This is a 737-200 operated by "Janet Airlines", an unofficial front for military flights to the Nevada National Security Site (read: Area 51) from Las Vegas. Their flight numbers have the prefix "WWW", which is officially marked as a blocked ICAO code.

Should point out that "Janet" stands for "Just Another Non-Existent Terminal" and is the defacto name given to the terminal they use.

Some more interesting government flight stuff:

A McDonnell Douglas MD-88 operated by the US Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System (JPATS). JPATS is an agency of the US Government tasked with transporting prisoners/illegal aliens over longer distances between prisons, detaining centers, and other locations. Operating with the ICAO code DOJ and callsign JUSTICE, JPATS uses four Boeing 727s, four MD-80s, and two Boeing 737s to supplement its operations, commonly in a plain white color scheme.
JPATS has the capability to transport prisoners between virtually every major US city, and its flight schedules are hidden from public view. Additionally, prisoners are given little advance notice for their flight, to deter escapes and sabotage. As a side note, JPATS was also the only non-military passenger air service allowed to continue flying in US airspace immediately following the 9/11 attacks.

Pretty sure that's not shrubbery.
It's a forest.
That spillway is 130-140-ish meters across

The shrubbery are actually trees, each step is around 30 feet high. Here's a chopper fly-through to put it into perspective.

I would love to see a video of when they open the gates and all that water started gushing out.
[i]In 1995 an attempt was made by the major hardware and software vendors of the time to bring the the then major standards of the desktop and workstation computing world to one machine with an adopted set of hardware standards. It was called the CHRP, or Common Hardware Reference Platform.
[IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/ballsandy/Computer%20related/CHRP1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/ballsandy/Computer%20related/CHRP2.jpg[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/ballsandy/Computer%20related/CHRP3.jpg[/IMG]
To ensure software support for as many customers as possible, multiple operating systems were supported on CHRP initially. IBM Supplied OS/2 and AIX, Apple supplied Mac OS 8, Sun supplied Solaris and Microsoft provided Windows NT.
[IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/ballsandy/Computer%20related/CHRP4.jpg[/IMG]
Even though the project looked to be a success, within another year the project had fallen apart as the vendors looked back towards their legacy and existing platforms and CHRP ultimately failed to reach the market. While IBM continued to use CHRP in a slightly different fashion for their PowerPC based laptops and a number of their RS/6000 desktops which DID reach the market (and supporting OS/2, AIX and Windows NT), very few of the original CHRP prototypes are known to still exist.[/i]
So if history went differently, could we all be referring to our PCs as Chirps right now?
