Airport Tampa, Florida close a runway
New York correspondent 9/1/2011
Tampa International Airport has closed one of the airstrips for the same reason that may cause the plague of fish and birds that occurred in most parts of the world: the mass of the Earth's magnetic North Pole is swinging faster than usual.
scenario, between physics and science fiction, reminiscent of the plot of the novel "The Core" by Paul Preuss in 2003, director Jon Amiel took on the big screen with the same name, title, telling the U.S. president's choice to make exploding ordnance nuclear in the Earth's magma to reactivate the Earth's rotation mysteriously locked. We are not in these apocalyptic scenarios, but the first scenes of the movie, with flocks of dead birds that fell from the sky and air rushed suddenly have to do with the same reasons that led the Tampa International Airport Authority Florida to close one of the main runways, giving reasons in great detail.
The reason, as emphasized by the spokespersons of the airport, is that "the North Magnetic Pole has moved from Canada to Russia about 40 miles" - 64.3 kilometers - at a rate "higher than usual 'and consequently must be recalculated hundred and forty panels signals that guide airplanes during landing. In fact, if the geographic North Pole is a conventional fixed rate on the maps, the magnetic field is constantly moving between Canada and Siberia, and its position is used to guide the pilots of the aircraft just like a simple compass.
To get an idea of \u200b\u200bmoving the magnetic North Pole is sufficient to bear in mind that 700,000 years ago that was reversed with the South. Humanity is still used to living with small displacements and, consequently, "the pilots flying with the help of magnetic and airstrips are drawn along the points of this compass," as explained by one of spokesman of the airport, while stressing "that the problem is that a 180-degree view is now, say, 190 degrees."
The idea that the pilots of commercial jets still strive magnetic compasses in the era of satellite-based GPS may seem anomalous, but pending changes to the instrument panel of the major civilian airport companies had no alternative but to order the cessation of ' use of a runway. The authorities of the airport in Atlanta, Georgia, are considering a similar decision to ensure maximum passenger safety.
To confirm the concerns of Tampa and Atlanta, the Federal Aviation Administration, "which controls air traffic the U.S. calendar, has endorsed the need to redesign "at least one of the runways' tight deadlines. The news coming from Florida and Georgia have pushed the scientific community and experts forecast to consider the hypothesis that the sudden death of thousands of birds and fish in Brazil, Britain, Italy, Sweden, New Zealand and the United States can be related to the sudden movement of the earth's magnetism.
If the North Pole because it moves fast the birds are confused, disoriented, they change their usual behavior and followed routes unusual risk of bumping into strange air currents that can cause sudden death. The same applies to fish, which can push the wrong orientation to survive in waters too cold, causing the deaths of very many flocks.
