I found that taking out your own camera and pointing it at whoever takes the picture usually makes them stop. This is an alternative method if you don't want to directly confront them.

@GayotFow but keeping it doesn't make sense either. I think if you want it as an example of a con, you'd better take a screenshot as long as it's still there

@GayotFow If he's 11 or 12 then the one you are proposing is definitely a better choice. I think at that age it shouldn't be an issue to handle a knife.

@GayotFow it comes with a rounded blade. Frankly not sure how much that makes it more kid-friendly. Might be a good tool to teach him how to handle knives responsibly etc.

@GayotFow I think I got my first one quite early, when I was 7 or so. That was a small one, the kind which you can use as a key chain.

Non-stop flight
A non-stop flight is a flight by an aircraft with no intermediate stops. An ultra long-haul non-stop flight is a flight by a commercially operated airliner without any scheduled intermediate stop of any kind and a route length using the higher end of the airliners' range. These flights usually follow a great circle route, often passing over polar regions. == Ultra long-haul == === History === From 1943 to 1945 Qantas operated a weekly Consolidated PBY Catalina 5,650 kilometres (3,050 nmi) return flight from Western Australia to then Ceylon with average flight times of 27 h, the Double S...

Singapore airlines also just announced that they want to reintroduce their non-stop flights to North America, I wonder which one will turn out to be the longest

@NeanDerThal I thought the longest that still runs is around 17 hours?

You were stating 'in neither case did any steel component fail' and I merely pointed out that that is wrong. Furthermore, if you look at the picture, you will notice that the roof beam are also made of steel. So yes, it might be 'just a roof collapse', but the roof was made of steel. Furthermore, the document even states on page 9: 'The fire spread vertically from the storage area to the stage, causing the steel to lose its tensile strength. Temperatures of 1,000° F can cause buckling and temperatures of 1,500° F can cause steel to lose strength and collapse.'

"The McCormick Place exhibition hall [..] was a public assembly occupancy built with fire protected steel construction and no sprinkler system.", "The theater was built of steel rigid frame construction to allow for the large open space of the auditorium, unobstructed by columns.", " The prop assembly building was built using a steel rigid frame and steel clad exterior and roof." Just a few examples from the document. But even if it weren't, you're statement was about 'in neither case did any steel component fail', which it obviously did, your statement didn't specify anything about roof.

I suggest you have a look at the document Oddthinking linked to in his last comment. Page 21 (or 26, depending on which numbering) shows two pictures of what are unmistakenly broken structural steal beams. In case you don't believe me, the captions of the pictures mentions: 'Also shows structural steel failure on the main stage' and 'showing the roof and structural steel failure in the auditorium.' Those definitely are steel components failing.
