Q&A: Why don’t planes crash after they’re struck by lightning?

Posted on March 19, 2022

Question from Janine:  I heard on the news the other day that a plane got struck by lightning, but they said it didn’t crash and no one on the plane got hurt.

I was shocked when the news guy said this actually happens a lot.

How is it even possible for a plane to get struck by lightning and not crash?  [Read more…]

Can you name the highest point in each of the U.S. states?

Posted on March 2, 2022

As you might imagine, every state in the USA has a highest point. And yes, that even includes the “flat” states.

Can you name the highest point in every state?

How about the highest point in your own state?

Q&A: Why don’t car insurance premiums go down as the car depreciates?

Posted on February 10, 2022

Question from Judy:  I bought a new car back in 2017 and it’s been insured by the same company all this time.

I know my car has depreciated quite a bit over the years but my insurance premiums are higher now than they were when the car was brand new.

That makes no sense to me.

It seems like the premiums should decrease along with the value of the car since the insurance company would have to pay out less as the car gets older.

Why didn’t my premium go down along with the value of the car?  [Read more…]
