tonight my flight leaves for Paris. thanks for the heads up! i'll fly rest assured now.
 
21Pro, when you get on the plane do what I do.

Carefully study all the passengers and keep your eye sharp for groups of young Muslims who are doing prayers lets say.
There's a good chance they want to blow the plane up with explosives or hijack it.

If your plane is free from this affliction you are very likely to make it to Paris in one piece.

(PS: I hope you're not flying Air India.)

Boy I hope you mean Paris, Texas.
 
Air France. If I get access to a computer in France, I'll post. gotta go, though. (be back on Thursday).

your first thread didn't bother me much... but the thought of praying muslims?? that scares the shits outta me.
 
I have to admit that I'm pretty fascinated by plane crashes - ever watch that show on the Discovery Channel? I think it's called Air Crash Investigation....It's a pretty good show - often times, pilot error is to blame (even when there is something actually wrong with the plane, the pilots often make fatal errors in their confused/anxious state). I've never been afraid to fly though. I love flying!

Air France is a great ride. Don't forget to ask for a bulk head seat if not flying 1st.
 
Thanks for the links. I'm even more fascinated by sinking ships. Something about being swallowed up by the sea and losing control to a greater force and all that. Hate the death and agony part, of course, so hopefully everyone would escape, but the actual hunk of metal sliding slowly underneath the water is kind of weirdly fascinating.
 
Not to mention the strong suction force it creates so that if you are in the water the vacuum force from a cruise ship sucks you right in and you can't swim away......creepy.

I think the show is called "Mayday". I enjoy watching theses shows too.

Isn't that a myth?

Not at all. When the ship is sinking it creates a whirlpool type of suction. which in turn will pull anything down around it. Ever been caught in an eddy while swimming?

Although Mythbusters did a segment on debunking that myth, they were using a small boat so the effect would have been pretty minimal so I'm not entirely convinced their test had much validity. It's not the ship sinking that creates the suction per se, it's all that water rushing in to fill up the ship that pulls you in.
 
Watching that flight 592 ticked me off about how careless others can be. They're not the ones going to be on the plane, so I guess they do not care about the possibilities.

Most of the others you can say that the pilots do need to be trained to handle any given situation whether it be new parts that they have not been trained about. But, mostly I think they did what they thought was best given the situations. For the most part they do not want to lose thier lives either except for possibly that one in Egypt Air.

Most were just unfortunate, like the one where there was two planes coliding with each other. Them being told to go up or to go down by two different people. :( The most devestating thing is that it is the loss of too many lives all at once.

We were really lucky a year or two ago when that plane crashed at Peason here that there was no deaths. I was so happy when I heard that the people were making it out of the planes and being taken to hospital to be checked up. I was out on my balcony watching the smoke and praying.

I watched the episode on that crash. If the pilots obeyed the warnings of the proximity sensors, the crash wouldn't have happened. It is extremely difficult for a pilot when they're put into a situation with conflicting information.

The Air Traffic Controller who gave the conflicting information was so distraught after the crash that he quit his job. One of the family members of the crash actually hunted him down, found out where he lived and shot him dead.
