Hurricane Zabinh helped set two records

Days ago, various parts of the European continent lived on the impact of the strong hurricane "Zabinh", which caused the paralyzing of life in more than one country in the "old" continent, after canceling many flights, disrupting train services, and postponing some football and other matches. .

Despite the heavy losses of Hurricane "Zabinh", it contributed to the emergence of two records that may not be frequent. As for the first record, the German magazine "Stern" reported that a Boeing 747 belonging to British Airways took only four hours and 56 minutes from New York's John F. Kennedy Airport to London Heathrow, This is because of the wind.

The distance between John F. Kennedy and Heathrow airport is about 5500 km, and the plane usually needs more than six hours, but strong winds led to the record.

In the same context, the British newspaper "The Independent" quoted a spokesman for British Airways as saying, "Safety always comes before the standard speed, but highly trained pilots have benefited from the conditions, in order to transport passengers quickly to London."

Regarding the second record, which was contributed by Hurricane "Zabinh", it is a huge increase in the production of electricity generated by wind energy in the city, where the production of electricity generated at times yesterday, Monday (10 February), due to the force of the wind to about 43.7 giga / Wat, a spokeswoman for Tenet, one of the operators of the electric transmission system, indicated.

 The spokeswoman said that the amount of electrical energy contributed to by the wind power in the German public electricity grid broke the current record of 43.4 gigawatt / watt. The companies operating the electricity transmission system are responsible for transporting the current generated by wind energy from the German coasts and from northern Germany to the southern regions. According to Agora Consultancy Services for Sustainable Energy Transformation, more than three quarters of the electricity consumed in Germany at noon on Sunday and Monday noon was from renewable energy sources.
