this is a very rare footage never before uploaded in YouTubeand researched and found by this blog: Documentary, Ninoy Aquino funeral march, August 21, 1983, shot and produced by Manuel Silva for Reuters, carted in
used here as a report for the commemoration of the Ninoy Aquino Assassination, non-commercially for review and promotion work and for archiving of historical documents, photos, and videos. The footage includes the funeral mass in Sto. Domingo Church, various angles of the street assembly, a medium shot of the funeral cortege, that slowly zooms out into a semi-aerial shot of the two-million strong funeral march, the largest in world history. If you’re going to use it, please include in your acknowledgements, this blog or the YouTube account of this blog kasi po pinaghirapan ko rin ang paghahanap nito at nagbuhos ng pagod at panahon — hwag maging walang-modo, salamat po — i shouldn’t have to say this, sorry…. pero marami po kasi dyan ang parang… hindi nakapag-aral, sowee. (because it was the product of much research effort, and precious time and energy — don’t be rude & unethical in using it. Thanks! A meaningful commemorative day to all!)
Search & rescue operations for DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo & pilots: on sonar & prayers
News peg: “… (T)he sonar craft deployed in the crash site detected an object less than a kilometer off the Masbate island, an interview over radio dzBB revealed. “ (Yahoo Philippines at ph.yahoo.com)
According to Transportation Secretary Mar Roxas, the designated spokesperson, the sonar craft can detect objects on a “look-down” basis without “sideways” vision. In other words, it has a straight, vertical view downwards. This probably means it can “see” an area downwards, vertically, the size of the sonar craft . In other words, it doesn’t have a wide-angle- lens- view; yet miraculously, it has been able to detect a metal object that is part of the aircraft a kilometer off the coast.
The area that is being scoured, according to Roxas, is about a 6-kilometer radius between Masbate City and Ticao island, as of press time. I don’t know if that area has been narrowed down.
How big is the sonar craft and how big is the size of the view? (because it doesn’t have any other kind of sight but straight, vertical). Here it is (below, video):
(Video produced and uploaded by RTVMalacanang used here non-commercially for review purposes).
The sonar craft is probably about 5 meters X 2 meters. Or a 5 meter X 2 meter view, downwards, straight, vertical. You’d want to cover every square meter.
how fast can it produce images onscreen? Maybe ten seconds per image? Can you fact-check me. On a 5 meter x 2 meter view. To cover a 6,000-meter-radius. How many hours and days. Maybe the area can be divided up into priority sites. i didn’t give you my computation because… the search and rescue is multi-pronged, in different directions, mobilizing hundreds and hundreds, deploying dozens of sea craft, aircraft, vessels, and the prayers of thousands.
