We had several reports this morning of a widespread internet outage for those using Microsoft Internet Explorer to access any website that uses the Site Meter, Sitemeter.com tracking codes. There has been no word from Site Meter as of yet but this outage seems to stem from the sitemeter code itself. Users who use Firefox, Safari and other browsers seem to be ok, but IE users are having their browsers crash. Below is an image of the Internet Explorer error that is popping up on internet users screens when accessing a site using sitemeter.com:
Currently the only known was to fix this from a webmasters point of view is to remove sitemeter for the time being. If you are an internet surfer then simply block the *.sitemeter url for now.
I know a ton of people, after hearing the news of the tragic drag racing accident which took NHRA racer, Scott Kalitta’s life yesterday wanted to see what happened. I just want to say that the drag racing world will miss this man. Kalitta was only 46 years old, and had been active in the NHRA since he was 20 years old. He made his first win in 1989 at the NHRA’s premiere series by winning the Funny Car event in Houston Texas. From early reports and by viewing slow motion video of the crash, it has been determined that something was wrong with the engine from the start. The car reached over 300 miles per hour before the engine simply exploded, and then the car hits into the far wall at the end of the track. There was not a thing that Scott Kalitta could have done once the race begun, to save his life. This is a sad day for race fans worldwide.
This is a pretty impressive video of the $1,200,000,000.00 Aircraft crashing and then exploding. Thats right, the B-2 bomber costs roughly $1.2 billion, or about $4 for every man woman and child in American. The Crash took place in Guam, and both Pilots ejected moments before the explosion. One pilot remains in pretty bad condition with a compressed spinal injury. The crash was caused by water in one of the planes sensors. As you can see by the video below, as soon as the B-2 hits the ground, although not falling from very high up, the jet fuel ignites.
