  1. Air Force Repurposes HH-60W Helicopters for Doomsday Evacuations

    The Air Force is gearing up for a critical role with 26 HH-60W helicopters, replacing aging UH-1Ns to execute high-stakes evacuation and transport missions in the National Capital Region. This strategic move will ensure the continuity of government and operations in the event of an emergency.

  2. LEGO enthusiasts celebrate interesting architecture by building replicas of Canada’s national museums in the National Capital Region or Ottawa-Gatineau.

    The region has an active and longstanding LEGO community but this seems to be the beginning of a trend.

    For the Museum of History in Gatineau, Indigenous Architect Douglas Cardinal shared his own plans with the LEGO builder.

    Another pair of builders created a 3D video to inform their construction of a model of the Victorian-era Museum of Nature (which had a rumoured haunted 4th floor).

  3. On a very sad, serious note...

    A friend's very elderly dad-in-law passed away this weekend. ⚰️ He had #COVID19. He was hospitalized in #AngelesCity #Pampanga even though he lived in Manila.

    83 kms away.
    Why?
    No room in the hospitals.
    Not just #Manila,
    but in the #NationalCapitalRegion.
    #Philippines

    They're willing & able to spend on a private hospital.

    Nada. No room.

    Go ahead, world. 😠 Take it lightly. Watch the hospitals fill up and reject your loved ones when they most need medical care.

    To me it felt like one big South-to-North sideways jolt. It felt so strong I thought it was a magnitude 6. Hardly felt any tremor after that one jolt. No damages to anyone or anything, I hope. 🙏
