I’m a single and twin VFR pilot but this just looks like horrible pilot error: This plane did a go round prior to landing. Meaning despite the bird strike they had power … a thread.

This might as well be a diagram of how not to fly any twin plane in a bird strike. If this was the response of the pilots in a simulator exam they would fail. The main stream media disinformation on this about "it's the wall’s fault at the end of the runway" is ludicrous. The Asian news trying to normalize any of this to make people feel safer is just wrong. The real story is how (highly probable) bad these pilots were. The pilots panicked and did seemingly everything incorrectly except a pretty flare. I posted a bunch of (admittedly speculative, but probably 95% correct) analysis on my x. Anybody with actual aviation knowledge seeing this is processing shock and disbelief at the highly probable level of (alleged) pilot incompetence.

4/. So how do you prevent this from ever happening again. Step 1. Stop using non human readable addresses. Just use names that are cryptographically tied to their seeds. It's like decentralized, private, Paypal for all of crypto. Check out our beta at
@SwissFortress.com. This software was developed by @MatterFi_com. If our system is used the Ledger and our own custom hardware wallets will display the name of the counterparty along with a KYC proof. Both are cryptographic proofs meaning they are not spoof-able. This means that regardless of the manipulation done by the hackers in the safe UI in normal operations the ledger would simply say "send ETH to hot wallet (along with crypto proof)" that the ledger ITSELF would understand. Meanwhile any hacked transaction submitted for signing to the Ledger will display an error message similar to what you get when you go to a website that has known malware. Ergo: hack not impossible but infinitely easier to catch.

Again, this is largely wrong. It’s not the embarkments fault. They hit it at 150mph. They would have hit the concrete fence right behind it almost as fast.

Ok on Jeju air probable classic fatal pilot mistake - here is the timeline from Reuters which confirms what I suspected and stated yesterday in this thread … the plane had power after the bird strike for a go around. Unless that was the most catastrophic bird strike ever which somehow took out everything (again unlikley due to the fact that they climbed per the ads-b) these pilots are just shockingly horrible.
8:54 a.m. - Muan airport air traffic control authorises the aircraft to land on runway 01, which is orientated at 10 degrees east of north.
8:57 a.m. - Air traffic control gives "caution - bird activity" advisory.
8:59 a.m. - Flight 7C2216 pilot reports bird strike, declares emergency "Mayday Mayday Mayday" and "Bird strike, bird strike, go-around." MY NOTE: If the bird strike just took out an engine then landing now instead of go around would also be appropriate response. Single engine landing is also on the test. This timing also checks out with the reported passanger text messages about a bird strike and the go round climb in the adsb data.
9:00 a.m. - Flight 7C2216 initiates a go-around and requests authorisation to land on runway 19, which is by approach from the opposite end of the airport's single runway. MY NOTE: This is the giant mistake - with power available you don’t do a rushed 180 as that will result in being long and late as a jet needs a lot of room to turn. With power you go around and land on 1 instead of 19. Wo power the SOP is DO NOT DO THE 180. Land straight ahead - straight ahead was an ocean landing. The seemingly immediate knee jerk reaction to 180 a jet is highly indicative of incompetence. The 180 is a classic fatal mistake in aviation. Countless people have killed themselves this way.
9:01 a.m. - Air traffic control authorises landing on runway 19. MY NOTE: This meant they were landing with a tailwind likley which would lengthen the landing.
9:02 a.m. - Flight 7C2216 makes contact with runway at about 1,200m (1,312 yard) point of the 2,800m (3,062 yard) runway. MY NOTE: This is way way late, makes no sense at all landing should have been aborted again at this point with another go round or a ditch in the water right next to airport.
9:02:34 a.m. - Air traffic control alerts "crash bell" at airport fire rescue unit.
9:02:55 a.m. - Airport fire rescue unit completes deploying fire rescue equipment.
9:03 a.m. - Flight 7C2216 crashes into embankment after over-shooting the runway.
9:10 a.m. - The Transport Ministry receives an accident report from airport.
9:23 a.m. - One male rescued and transported to a temporary medical facility.
9:38 a.m. - Muan airport is closed.
9:50 a.m. - Rescue completed of a second person from inside tail section of the plane.
I want to be proven wrong here but that seems unlikely.

5/ Prevention. Step 2. The final solution that beefs this security up even more is to use end to end crypto proofs to manage all off chain funds in custody. We're are currently deploying this tech at a major Fortune 100 customer in US/Europe. In this scenario, again built by @MatterFi_com, end user private keys are used to manipulate all the crypto on and off chain. So in our ideal deployment the cold wallet would be automated and managed via HSM and controlled by end to end crypto proofs always displayed on hardware devices. We can even integrate the off chain crypto proof engine with DeFi multisig storage solutions such as safe. Then the possibility of the web UI hack and "the URL looked correct" error @benbybit is impossible. That's because when you are running end to end crypto proofs OFF CHAIN you don't need web3 anything. Our tech removes VAST swathes of the possible attack surface. Here to help, DM us or see us at DNA house and Bit angeles at ETH Denver.

3/ There's probably nothing wrong with the on chain code at @safe. The problem is at the end point, the Ledger in this case. The end point doesn't understand the safe protocol or what addresses it's actually signing. Incredibly unlikely that the Ledger was fooled in this case. It probably just displayed a bunch of non human readable addresses or "business as usual" messaging. Ben and the other signers saw what they usually see and just signed it.

2/ In detail. The attackers hijacked the UI of the @safe multisig signers. The end point of that signature is a @Ledger. Watch the stream from @benbybit and he tells you that indeed he just didn't really look at the Ledger screen and essentially transferred control of the assets to the hackers (this means that the other signers fell victim to the same hack).

So unless there some insane set of circumstances here that have yet come to light like the 2nd engine died on the approach or they were out of fuel. Both unlikely as a) double bird strikes are rare and again they had power for a go round after the strike b) they should have had the mandatory fuel reserves on board. … watching this makes me just angry and sad.

With power to one engine you can fly until you run out of fuel. Thats how all twins are designed - you can climb even. Meaning you can work the gear down situation, water ditch, divert, etc. but what you should def not do is land long on a runway with your gear up and no flaps.

@MarkZuckss Im sorry but your platforms de-platformed me numerous times … and censored most of my posts, that was on top of the Hollywood cancel culture bandwagon that had already ran me over a few times before Facebook did. Many jobs were lost, much suffering occurred and neither truth nor commerce were allowed. Then there was your “Zuckerbucks” ballot harvesting. I’m not going back to FB or Insta. I nuked all my content back in 2020. If you did this before the election then I would be like “ya this is authentic” but that’s not what happened just now. Trump won and now you’re coming around. I strongly imagine if Kamala won then Politifact would get a promotion instead of a firing. You don’t get be all like “oh oops sorry guys, let me just slide in on the winning team, NBD” The censorship and content restrictions led to 4 years of the worst administration we’ve seen since 1978. So many lives were ruined by that. I could go on … So NO, just no … you’re gonna have to do a lot more than that to win people back over. I was a fan but you lost me in 2020.

The cause is highly probable bad flying secondary to bird strike, the localizer mound def increased fatalities but it’s not the cause of the crash, my POV … PM me if you want a pilot explainer although I post it all over my X. Also from the aftermath photos it looks like the localizer mound wasn’t a huge block of concrete - rather a box with walls that the localizer sat on top of. So your diagram doesn’t look right.
This might as well be a diagram of how not to fly any twin plane in a bird strike. If this was the response of the pilots in a simulator exam they would fail.

From cnn “The control tower instructed the plane to land in the opposite direction on runway no.19. The pilot followed the instructions and the plane struck navigation equipment on the ground before crashing into a wall.” Da hell? If they have power they go around again or circle until best path is identified. Infuriating.

Ya but even in basic flight training on a twin prop plane this exact scenario is drilled over and over and over and it’s 100% on the test. “I’m stressed out so I killed myself and 180 people” isn’t an attitude for the cockpit. This plane was clearly flying as they did a go round which means that had power to climb. Engine out emergencies happen every other day in aviation and this looks like the worst possible handling of one. Sometimes you legit don’t know what happened for a while. 99% that’s not the case here. In private aviation pilot error is common, in commercial flying it *should be* deliberately rare.

This is wrong. From the facts so far if anything is needed it’s remedial pilot training in twin engine emergency ops for the #JeJu pilots. Incredibly unlikely this has anything to do with the #Boeing 737-800.

Yes, that plane wasn’t gonna stop at least another few thousand feet in that configuration. A berm with concrete in it, right there definitely would kill more than some other object afterwards. That said the problem is how it got flown fast, late, no flaps, no gear, an engine working to 1/3 of the runway with the berm there. The pilots did that. Read my post from yesterday for exactly what I’m assuming which isn’t much.

This is my invention, it works w/o exposing to the world how much money you have @Morveus. Even if you send your FortressName to someone that is paying you, they can't tell how much money you have but you will automatically receive the money. This is so fingers are 11/10.
And also mad respect for surviving this ordeal.
Imagine sending $1,000 in crypto to "Alice.eth" instead of a 42-character address. With send-to-name, you’ll know EXACTLY where your funds are going—no more mistakes, no more scams. Like this tweet to get a link to secure yours before someone else does.

Yes that’s right. They could be way safer. Note you don’t need GA to use any non custodial wallet. Thats because every transaction on chain is signed with your private key. So what we did is made it that every transaction either on or off chain is signed by your keys. So now you just need one wallet to control all your assets and you don’t need GA. So in our custody system the users sign for say a bid/ask or instant transfer to another user or their own withdrawal with their keys just like they do for a transfer or defi on chain. Meanwhile the HSMs directly understand the protocol and since they get a crypto proof from the user no multisig signing required at all by people. So our custody system largely eliminates the need for cold storage as the vulnerability is the custodians keep needing to use cold storage for daily ops which is exactly what the hackers are exploiting. I’ll drop a simple video on that soon.

I mean Semiglutides are categorically only worth it if you’re a fatty. And @bryan_johnson you’re the opposite of a fatty. Has anyone ever done an actual controlled study of the long term effects of these things on longevity in non fatties? I mean obviously if you can just get thin on ozempic because you’re incapable of tracking calories and lifting and you’re obese then ya probably doing ozempic will extend your life (because being a fatty is bad for your health mkay). But why are you even considering life extension for non fatties via semiglutides? Is there some hidden effect besides weight loss? This is me in a 15 year retrospective picture. There was no ozempic then and on the left is 32 year old me at the beginning of my journey. On the right is 47 year old me at 5% body fat from just keto (originally called Atkins), gym, food tracking and cryo. I think the ozempic craze for fit people may be hazardous.
I am halting Tirzepatide microdosing because it increased my resting heart rate by 3 bpm, lowered my HRV by 7 and decreased my sleep quality by 10%
After 3 weeks of microdosing Tirzepatide, I decided to stop the intervention, here is why:
My resting heart rate (RHR) increased by 3 bpm, a relatively large increase of 7% considering my RHR of mid 40s bpm. A review of 5 clinical trials with 4199 total participants found that, despite lowering blood pressure, the lowest dose (5 mg/week) of Tirzepatide increased HR by 1-4 bpm, interesting to see my microdose at 0.5 mg/week showing similar side effects.
A lower RHR is foundational to perfect sleep. The increase in my RHR decreased my HRV by 7 points, and decreased sleep quality by 10%.
In light of this we had to reevaluate the risk/benefit balance of this intervention:
Benefits: immediate benefits are mostly linked to metabolic optimization (I am already metabolically optimized), newer results support metabolic/obesity independent longevity effects especially for reducing dementia risk, but these are very long term with no readily measurable effect.
Risks/harms: I measured a 7% increase in RHR leading to an average of ~10% drop in sleep quality.
Verdict: the risk/harm outweighs the benefit, for the following reasons
1. Only the non-metabolic longevity benefits are applicable in my case, these were very recently identified, with only a handful of studies supporting them.
2. Even if the longevity benefits (e.g. reduced dementia risk with Tirzepatide) the damage from the long-term reduction in sleep quality is way more likely to outweigh the benefit, than vice versa.
3. For example: a very recent meta-analysis found that diabetics on GLP1-RAs had a 5% reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases (12% risk reduction for Alzheimer disease), interestingly the same analysis found patients on GLP1-RAs to be at 12% increased risk of developing sleep disturbances. Here we must factor in that having a sleep disorder even for less than 1 year was associated with a 63.8% increase in the odds of developing a neurodegenerative disease, and persistent shorter sleep (6 hours or shorter) in 50s and 60s was associated with a 30% increase in dementia risk by 30%.
4. The former example makes it clear why any potential longevity benefits (mostly applicable to metabolically sick people, including diabetics, and still in need of further data to better confirm and understood), is not worth risking my sleep quality, especially with only 3 weeks on a microdose being enough to start dislodging my perfect sleep.
Caveat: This does not apply to everyone. It should be clear that my risk/benefit profile does not apply to most people in need of metabolic optimization or weight-loss, for these the benefits of GLP1-RAs probably outweigh the benefits by far, especially that even short to medium term use might bring measurable benefits, especially if accompanied by exercise and improved nutrition.

🔹 Attackers used Google Ads to target crypto users
🔹 Clicking the ad triggered a malicious script
🔹 It checked if you had a Web3 wallet (MetaMask, etc.)
🔹 If detected, it redirected you to a phishing site
🔹 Users thought they were claiming rewards but actually gave away their credentials
Our send-to-name functionality removes those scams out of the equation by replacing wallet addresses with human-readable names.

Let’s have a crazy 2025!
2024 has been incredible—both professionally and personally!
1️⃣ I decided to step down from my operational role at @Bitfold, a project I co-founded and hold very close to my heart. It was a true dive into the #startups and #blockchain space, and I’m grateful for everything I learned along the way.
2️⃣ Joining @ari10com and @MatterFi_com has been a privilege. I’ve had the opportunity to bring my experience as a founder to the table, helping shape the future of institutional digital asset solutions and crypto payments. I deeply appreciate my new team members and the chance to work with founders who not only envision the future but actively create it. @mateuszkara_, @apszczolkowski, @MehowHacks —kudos to you for the amazing work you’ve done. Let’s keep making this space more accessible and safer for everyone!
3️⃣ On a personal note, #Dubai has truly become my home. Settling firmly into this vibrant city, I’ve attended dozens of industry events, met incredible people from all over the world, and forged new friendships. I was also fortunate to share my voice through local media outlets like @CNBCArabia, @CNNBusinessAr, @WiredMiddleEast, and @Cointelegraph.
@ezrareguerra, Abdulkader Marrawi, Sandhya D'Mello —thank you, and many others, for all the interviews and opportunities!
And certainly, the highlight of it all: I proposed… and she said yes! 💍 ❤️
@FrackowiakMaria, you have been my best friend, my rock, and my support through all the highs and lows so far. I can’t wait to see what life has in store for us next!
As I look ahead to 2025, I’m excited for what’s to come—both in business and in life.
To my network: thank you for your support, inspiration, and the connections that have enriched my journey this year. Here’s to building, innovating, and growing together in the year ahead!

Not being contrarian I get these Q's all the time. Love it. Bring on the Qs. You are fully right. All 3 of these are not acceptable situations:
a) their hardware wallet wasn't able to decode the transaction
b) they couldn't understand the decoded contents
c) they didnt read the decoded contents.
How we solve a) is with a system where everything is a crypto proof and hence everything an end point (wallet in this case) does is understood by the end point. When the end point understands whats happening it can display the correct and infallible UI thus further solving b) and c). I don't blame @benbybit, I blame us for being slow for getting the message out there. Additionally the reason blind signing is a setting is because of a) b) and c).
Simple example, when you send a BTC tx it goes to a miner. Does the miner have to 2FA you? Does it have to have a human look at a screen to process the transaction? No it doesn't. Furthermore normally ledgers get a crypto proof for you to sign that looks like this:
<send money to address X> pls sign
The ledger understands what that is so it displays correctly and then the result is sent to miners/nodes and they don't ask any questions because they got a crypto proof. Note that in the above simple example the entire transaction is done via cryptographic privates so that every point in the chain (the ledger, the human, and the miner) understand whats happening. In the case of @Bybit_Official ledger probably displayed:
<incomprehensible to maybe the address of the contract> pls sign
As illustrated in your a,b,c scenario.
Here is what our FortressName "send to name" does to the ledger:
<send money to human readable, private, easily verifiable name, and btw here is the KYC proof> pls sign
Here is what our fully deployed send to name and crypto proof would do to the Ledger if it was deployed inside the @safe ecosystem during this hack:
<undecipherable message, no crypto proof, error> pls DO NOT SIGN.
Here is what it would say if it was "business as usual" and unhacked.
<You are transferring funds from multisig NAMEd contract with KYC, to your hot wallet NAMEd BbBitHot1 with KYC, everything checks out> pls sign
Now THAT should answer your question :) and ya ill drop some vids on it.

This is incorrect. Runway 1 and 19 are the same runway. Theres only one runway in Muan. If you land on 1 you are landing facing north. If you land on 19 then you are landing facing south. 1 + 18 = 19. The runway number is the bearing divided by 10. Ergo runway 1 is 10 degrees (nearly north which is 0 degrees). Thats how you know it's the same runway. If there were two runways on the same heading it would be 1L and 1R or 19L and 19R etc. This aircraft approached to 1 and initiated a go round according to last ADS-B transmission at 8:58:50 am and was crashed by 9:03. It's unclear whether the video'd bird strike happened before or after the go round - a go round requires at least one functioning engine and the ADS-B trace shows altitude gained and a positive rate of climb before it cutoff indicating power available. From the crash landing video sound one or both engines are still running. The open questions are why a pilot with 6500 hours would rush a landing with a functioning engine, no flaps, no gear, no fuel burn off, descending late on the runway w/o a slip to land sooner, into a wall that he knows is there presumably because hes done this route over and over, w.o ditching into the ample bodies of water surrounding the aircraft. It's bizarre. I'll post a timeline with backup whenever theres good information available. This still looks like incorrect emergency handling by the crew, unfortunately and was significantly preventable.

I firmly believe that if Vitalik spends a week in silent meditation he'll come back with faster and cheaper L1 Eth and decentralization won't be sacrificed.
Super appreciate the space for shedding light on what the problems are.

Stop lying @BernieSanders. Give up or find any factual beef you have with the cuts being made now which appear to have nothing to do with what you refer to as “you and your” benefits. I don’t have any benefits and instead due to government overspending I pay $2000 a month for Obamacare and 3x on my mortgage. What’s happening now is amazing and I thought it would never happen and America would be done. Interest rates will zero in 26. Keep going @elonmusk.
Please @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk DO NOT STOP until every fraud is exposed and every person that was involved is fired and or in jail. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE FIRST REAL TRANSPARENCY OF MY LIFETIME. I have been shouting about this for 2 decades and you guys are killing it. DON’T STOP. Follow the money and the squeals.

@Cointelegraph Yohan Yun did an excellent very detailed article on the Tor privacy breaks by government citing among others myself. I'm the "Pospieszalski" ... a last name as complicated as a crypto address. In Polish it means "hurry person". I love sharing the security knowledge so now the X search engines will know this is me if someone bothers to type in "Pospieszalski" and you can PM me or comment if you want more feedback. Great article by the author and other contributors and thank you for including my quotes ...

Hey @guardian No one should expect to be incinerated when the landing gear on a plane “fails to deploy” as this article suggests, the media attempts at calm here are just wrong. The contents of the CVR will likely be a huge scandal.

It’s not on ATC to make those decisions. If the PIC says I want to land on 19 after pilot declares an emergency then the ATCs job is to clear the runway and say yes and say nothing else to leave the airway clear. Tower ATC job is emergencies is very narrow. The tower is not at all at fault here. If one engine running then worst case you circle while you wait for backup hydraulics to lower gear or for the manual system to be work (neither is instant). If out of fuel or both engines gone then the SOP is don’t do the “death 180” back to runway - it’s land straight ahead or ditch in water if you can (miracle on Hudson being a perfect example) The 180 rarely works and should only be attempted when you know for sure you’re gonna make it. Here is a video of a flight instructor doing it successfully in a Cessna 172 … note how fast he acts and how fast this happens … same result in an unpowered jet is unlikely. Like I keep saying, what was flown isn’t the right answer to any conceivable emergency.

CCN Published a version of my op-ed .. to be clear the way that crypto donations are being taken by any candidate right now all have these potential problems (like being able to donate directly with no KYC) ... Trump just has been the most successful at collecting crypto. I doubt the campaign is aware of any of this as it's apparently being done through Coinbase (and they are using static addressing). This problem is easily solved which I'm happy to explain to press as follow on. ccn.com/opinion/crypto/trump…

I’m puzzled as to why they didn’t do a half dozen things while they had time with the working engine besides a single go round. My angry thoughts here …
I’m a single and twin VFR pilot but this just looks like horrible pilot error: This plane did a go round prior to landing. Meaning despite the bird strike they had power … a thread.

I’d like to make Agglayer send to name with @MatterFi_com just like we did for @SwissFortress
Unified Agglayer liquidity means fungible cross-chain tokens, shared users, and ZK-powered security.
Monoliths and multichain networks suffer from limited network effects and lose out on the unlimited possibilities of a unified environment. Siloed liquidity and users make existing and cross-chain transactions hard.
Lots of L2 ecosystems turn to third-party cross-chain bridges. That gives them basic interoperability, but the high fees and wrapped tokens are a UX nightmare.
Agglayer will fix this.

@AOC You Are The Gaslight Queen.
Allow me to translate your platform: Let Them Eat Cake While We Spend Voter Money That We Don’t Actually Have … With Interest.
Republicans are trying to shut down the government because they want to set up massive tax cuts for the rich next year while cutting Social Security and Medicare.
They know Americans don’t support that, so they’re holding the entire government hostage to try to force it.
No.

It was most of us! What about all the Covid misinformation and blindly trusting the government that was spread by @MarkZuckss and Dorsey. @JeffBezos Bezos didn’t help either. And his WaPo did a nice hit piece on me for the “crime” of being a forensic analyst in Antrim county (I will finally tell my story summer 2025). The only tech Billionaires I know of that went against the grain when it wasn’t popular because they have principles and helped were @elonmusk and @peterthiel along with almost everyone in crypto. They get ALL THE CREDIT, the rest of these sellouts have a long way back. How many people took the jab and are now injured because they were endlessly pressured on social media? Shall I repost the millions of @facebook screenshots of the mob bullying everyone into injecting untested “science?”

Hmm ADS-B stopped transmitting right when they initiated the go round. 1% more chance that there was some absolutely catastrophic equipment failure that resulted in rushed landing, still unlikley as they did a go round. Plane keeps flying but transponder not functioning would be unusual indeed.

@anchor_drops Our tech pretty much completely fixes the whole phishing problem. Demo video on my page. We’ve started convos with Ledger a few times on this topic already and they don’t seem to be interested in preventing these types of attacks so we’re making our own hardware wallet that does make phishing extremely difficult for attackers. Altho we could fix this at Ledger, Trezor and everywhere else with a software upgrade. Blaming users for getting hacked when the tech makes it trivial to phish people is baloney.

This feels right. I’m extremely bullish but the cancer that is pump n dump and memes and scamming needs to go. In crypto the number 2 and 3 things a founder needs to be good at after real value and innovation is land mine removal/anti fraud (don’t get the wrong partner, launchpad) and finding the actual funding (a lot of “VC” and “fund” are neither - they are somehow trying to get rich of your work and someone else’s money). Expect 60-80% “screening factor” and having to roll back some deals you did even if you thought you were careful. That said - if you’re real you will find a lot of support
