AI Thread Summary
The "Plane lands short of runway" thread on the GD Forum has disappeared due to copyright violations, as the original poster (OP) failed to include a citation for the source of the story. The discussion was initially left open pending a response from the OP, but they have not been online to address the issue. It was noted that the thread could have continued to develop as more facts emerged from the aircraft accident investigation. The situation was considered a minor oversight, and the thread has since been reopened after resolving the copyright concerns. The forum emphasizes the importance of proper source attribution to maintain compliance with copyright guidelines.

What happened to the " Plane lands short of runway" thread?

It was an interesting and ongoing discussion on the GD Forum and now it looks as if it has completely disappeared.

Did it just fall through the crack in the pavement (sidewalk)?

I asked the same thing. It got deleted.

Apparently, the discussion wasnt going to fly.
 
Then why not just lock it?

Actually, as the aircraft accident investigation gets under way the discussion would 'fly' as more facts came to light.

Can it not be reinstated?

Your going to land yourself some warning points if you keep this up. (Ok, that's enough bad puns from me, I've got to take off).
 
The problem was the OP didn't include a citation to the source of the story, and until that person contacts a mentor with that information so we can properly credit the source (and ensure it's not a complete copy and paste of the full story rather than an excerpt of it), it violates copyright guidelines (it was left open pending a response, but I don't think the OP has been online to respond). When we hear from the OP regarding editing that post appropriately to avoid copyright violations, it will reappear. This is a fairly minor issue in terms of the thread and it was likely just an oversight on the part of the OP, which is why I'm publicly responding with the reason for its disappearance, but a fairly major concern for the site as a whole, which is why it is temporarily deleted.
 
Problem has been resolved and that thread is reopened for anyone concerned.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
