Time of Useful Consciousness
Edited on Sun May-15-11 03:09 AM by bananas
When looking for a name, I came across a pilot's handbook and found the acronym TUC, an aeronautical term.
"Time of Useful Consciousness" is the time between the onset of oxygen deficiency and the loss of consciousness.
These are the brief moments in which a pilot may save the plane."

Maria Gilardin

This is an interesting radio show with a large archive of audio interviews.
The recent shows have been on nuclear energy.
You can download or stream the shows from her website,
