A United Airlines flight experienced a dramatic-looking engine failure just after takeoff from Denver International Airport on Saturday afternoon. UA328, originally headed to Honolulu, quickly circled back to the airport and made a safe landing after the pilots calmly made a "mayday" call to air traffic control. There were no injuries among the 231 passengers and 10 airline staff on board, according to the FAA.

Since it's 2021, the incident was thoroughly captured with both photos and video. Passengers shared video of what looks to be a significant right engine failure, with visible damage, flames, and trailing smoke:

Dinosaur Planet is an unreleased Nintendo 64 game by Rare that ultimately evolved into Star Fox Adventures for GameCube. But thanks to the preservationists at Forest of Illusion, it's now possible to play that unfinished, original title. A build of the game from December 1st, 2000 — well into its development cycle — was retrieved from a disc purchased from a private collector.

Screenshots of the game feature Fox McCloud; as noted by Eurogamer, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto was reportedly influential in pushing the developers to shift the game into a Star Fox title. Digital Foundry's John Linneman uploaded 20 minutes of gameplay, and here you can also see Fox replacing one of the original game's intended protagonists, Sabre.

Some viewers of Metallica’s BlizzCon performance heard the least metal music imaginable

Despite its later-than-usual timing and going completely virtual for the first time, yesterday's BlizzCon keynote brought with it some big news and exciting trailers. It also featured a musical performance from Metallica. The band isn't new to BlizzCon, having first appeared at the conference in 2014.

Viewers on many platforms (including Blizzard's own Twitch and YouTube channels) heard a performance of Metallica's 1984 tune "For Whom The Bell Tolls." Several Twitch streamers broadcasting BlizzCon muted the feed during Metallica's appearance to avoid any potential DMCA troubles.

But on the Twitch Gaming feed that was also carrying the stream, well, things took an amazing turn. Within seconds of the song beginning, the audio was...

Postmates workers are getting scammed out of their earnings by phishing schemes

Shake Shack Plans To Return $10 Million Loan To U.S. After Uproar

Over at The Markup is an alarming story about a rash of phishing scams that have been targeting gig workers for Postmates. Drivers are receiving phone calls from people claiming to be Postmates employees, who urge the workers to give over their login details — usually under the guise that it's necessary to keep a driver account in good standing or avoid claims of fraud.

Once the scammers obtain that info, they switch the debit card information on the account — Postmates makes weekly deposits of a worker's earnings, but instant transfers can also be requested — and then drain the balance of everything that's in there. The Markup has spoken to many Postmates gig workers who've been preyed upon with this scam, and others are using Reddit...

As the pandemic drags on, experts are exploring ways to stretch still-limited vaccine supplies to get as many people protected as possible. One idea that's resurfaced this week involves allowing more time in between the first and second doses of the two-dose vaccines. This time, though, there's some additional data that suggests it might work.

Here's the idea: two leading vaccines, made by Pfizer / BioNTech and Moderna require two doses. But their early data showed pretty significant protection after the first dose. That got people thinking — is it worth giving more people partial protection with just one dose? Or should they stick to the schedule and fully vaccinate fewer people?

Back in December, some experts encouraged researchers...

The Oatmeal’s creator says his new game is a way to ‘play the comic’

The creator of The Oatmeal, Matthew Inman, released a new cat-themed mobile word game called Kitty Letter earlier this week that feels like playing one of his silly comic strips. That feeling was intentional, Inman told me.

"My comics have always been rhetorical," he said. "You don't interact with the comic, you have no say in it, you're just experiencing it. So, with [Kitty Letter], I got a chance to introduce some elements where people get to play the comic, and I thought that was a lot of fun."

Kitty Letter has a structure that Inman described as "Scrabble combined with Clash Royale." Your goal is to beat your opponent by spelling words from a combination of letters at the bottom of your phone's screen. When you spell a word, you'll...
