Another Malaysian Airlines 777 Crash

There was that BA pilot sucked out of the cockpit window when it blew off, crew grabbed his legs until the copilot landed the plane. Amazing what the human body can withstand, he should have been dead .

Oh dear lord. He was blown out, not sucked out, until the pressure inside the a/c equalised with the pressure outside.

If only you IT people appreciated an education in science instead of an imaginary coded reality.

No dummy... Lockerbie.

Flight Pan-Am 103 took off from London Heathrow, so about 350 miles from Lockerbie.

Oh they definitely do.

Against those two Putin is amateur.

You have a much better chance of survival hitting the ground than water.

The challenger guys were in their cockpit still. It got blown out away from the rest of the shuttle during the explosion. I don't recall whether it's designed to do that or not (not blow away - but be a separate unit in and of itself) - nor whether it's supposed to float. I doubt it.

So there was a huge fan inside the fuselage then. Never knew that.

I just wikipedia'd it and it says 31000 feet. Which is confusing.
I watched that documentary a few months back. Maybe when they implied 'just taken off' (unless its a false memory) they meant relatively to the entire flight.

isn't blowing and sucking the same thing? Depending on one's perspective?

This what I was telling the Mrs this morning when I was having my morning blowy. Or is that a sucky?

Then I had to hang up.

Flightplan was Frankfurt, LHR, New York then Detroit. I lived near Lockerbie so always had a special interest...

What kind of degree in engineering do you have?

I am guessing one that does not have an appreciation of Newton's and Boyle's laws.

I am guessing you have some kind of manufacturing type degree.
