Imagine tootling along in your car when this happens. This was on Red Hill Avenue in Irvine, California. The local paper had the story a bit later. It was a Piper Cherokee with some kind of equipment failure that prompted an emergency landing on the street. No one was injured, and the plane was not damaged during the landing.
Like redditor AHPpilot said, “One man's emergency landing is another man's hilarious dash cam video.” -via reddit

Every now and then a mic is left on and you can hear the chit-chat in the native tongue in the background.
Done to death in Monitoring Times and Pop Communications.
I remember there was a small kerfluffle on the internet just a few months ago when UVB-76 went silent for the first time in many years because of its supposed part in a dead hand system.
The Conet Project is a compelation of quite a number of numbers station recordings. Some odd and easy listening for when you're surfing the web.

It's known to be a manual station (basically a microphone held up to whatever the hell makes that terrifying noise) that's constantly manned, so even though they probably have backup generators and everything, if all the operations of the station take place in one area it's possible that there was a catastrophic malfunction or a massive human error. Or maybe the people staffing it hated the sound as much as any normal person would >_>
Sort of a dupe article. I knew I had read this before.
Exactly what I was thinking, lol
Why does the post headline have "Mysterious Numerical Radio Stations"? The link properly calls them numbers stations. Would be nice if article leads weren't made up of BS. There's no logical reason for doing so.
