    electromagnetic shockwaves ;)

      That’s a good guess, but no, no electromagnetic pulse was responsible for the plane’s crash. Although thermonuclear warfare plays a role in the story.

    haha you funny guys ;) btw1: Birds in the engine remembers me of Indiana Jones pt.3, where Sean Connery flushes the birds on the beach to let ’em crash with the nazi-aircraft. Dunno remember if it was a doubledecker…! “Lass meine Armeen Bäume und Felsen und Vögel am Himmel sein!”
    and btw2: I crashed my win7 yesterday evening because I wanted to try a new ubuntu version…f**…yeahyeah..don’t touch a running system
    backtotopic:
    The military was testing a computer controlled flight-system which suffered a system override an crashed.

    No, everything wrong. Do you need more information? And, by the way, do I sense a certain lack of seriousness among you crowd?

  • Alexander Rabitsch Tuesday, 10th January 2012 at 20:57

    A bit more info would certainly do no damage … seriousness? >>Die Lage ist hoffnungslos aber nicht ernst!<<

    The Andromeda Strain

    • zephyrin_xirdal Wednesday, 11th January 2012 at 20:45

      That was in cold blood, swift and painless. ‘The Andromeda Strain’ is correct, congratulations! I updated the post accordingly. Tune in next Monday ;-)

    Nice … the German wikipedia gives a bit more info IMHO, some of which might not be so boring ;) :

    Die Spezialeffekte stammen von Douglas Trumbull, der durch seine Mitarbeit bei 2001: Odyssee im Weltraum und später Unheimliche Begegnung der dritten Art und Blade Runner bekannt wurde. Allein die Darstellung des Organismus kostete 250.000 US$.

    Trumbull erstellte für dieses Projekt auch die erste in einem Kinofilm verwendete Computeranimation. Dem damaligen Stand der Technik entsprechend wurde das dreidimensionale Drahtgittermodell des unterirdischen Labors zunächst auf einem Plotter ausgegeben und die Ausdrucke dann wie bei der Produktion eines Zeichentrickfilms nacheinander abfotografiert. Im Film stellt dann die Rückprojektionsleinwand einen großen Flachbildschirm dar, auf dem sich das Vektormodell des Labors langsam dreht und den Aufenthaltsort der Wissenschaftler mit ihren Initialen anzeigt.
