Welcome to Monday’s News on the March – The week that was in my digital world.
Not since April this year have I published a Monday’s News on the March article, but I’m delighted to restore the segment today. My aim is to keep at it, like I used to. Thanks for reading and I look forward to your comments.
Men’s 3000m (2024 Silesia Diamond League)
Video presentation at Land of Running
Norwegian Jakob Ingebrigtsen is a distance-running prodigy. As a high-schooler he was already world-class. He has won gold medals in consecutive Olympic Games. Owns multiple world records. And yet, he just turned 24. If you want to see just how good he is, watch this video of his recent 3000 metre world record. His sheer dominance and how he pulled away from the rest of the field in the closing laps was astonishing viewing…Oh and is it just me or does Jakob Ingebrigtsen look similar to a young Morrissey from The Smiths?
Kevin Spacey on American Beauty | Lex Fridman Podcast Clips
Video interview at Lex Clips
The film American Beauty currently sits at No 16 on my all-time favourite movies list. In February this year, I posted on the film here in my ‘Friday’s Finest‘ segment.
Lex Fridmen sat down with former disgraced, but now exonerated movie and TV star Kevin Spacey who spoke at length about the behind the scenes aspects of making the film and its themes and philosophy. I consider this must-see viewing for movie buffs out there.
What Netflix got WRONG – Malaysian Flight 370
Documentary at Green Dot Aviation
I hadn’t heard of any updates about the mystery surrounding Malaysian Flight 370 until this documentary came into my feed. I found it riveting, compelling and convincing all at the same time. Yet it was achieved by a You Tuber who clearly has a sense of accuracy with the detailed investigative nature and isn’t financially or narratively driven it seems.
‘This video presents a version of the most likely scenario which took place on board MH370. It is not definitive, and experts who agree with the main thrust of this video, will disagree on specifics. I have made a sincere effort to stick to the facts where they are available. Where they are not, I have restricted myself to informed and reasonable speculation’.

You’ve given us a lot to digest here Matt, but I did take the time to listen to/watch the first and second videos, both of which I enjoyed. Will watch the one about Malaysian Flight 370 as time permits.
I cannot begin to tell you how captivated I was watching the Malaysian Flight doco, although it is very perturbing considering what it purports to have occurred.
Thanks for taking the time to look at the article, view the links and comment here. It gives me some sustenance to keep at it.
I watched the Malaysian Flight video too, which was both compelling and deeply disturbing. If accurate, what would drive a man to do such a terrible thing as that?
I am naturally a skeptic on such matters, but he all but virtually convinced me based on the evidence at hand. To me this is the ‘only’ foreseeable way such a flight could disappear and also the positions at which they lost contact. I’m glad you found it as compelling as I did.
What could drive a ‘sick’ mind to do it? I could think of tens of reasons, some I can’t mention here involving passengers.
