    I’ve become much more sensitive towards anything regarding babies and children since becoming a dad, I was horrified when those 3 bodies were found at Beachy Head as I thought another nutter had killed his wife and kid, turns out the boy was already dead so I guess the parents didn’t want to live without him… how very sad.
    Nah, never the big disasters that get me, it's the small minded horrific ones that parents or individuals perpetrate. That baby p thing, I had to stop reading on the tube to stop feeling all emotional and angry.

      can't be arsed to do the maths... but at a cruising height of 40,000ft and a terminal velocity of say 50m/s I'm pretty sure it's more than 1 minute
      How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

          Ample time for you to be in a "Crusty Curtains" scenario, no doubt.

            Assuming a constant speed it's a little over four minutes, based on 40,000 feet / 165 feet per second.

                  Hmmmm ..... at 40 000 feet, there just isn't enough oxygen to make much possible ..... I think you'd either freeze or succumb to oxygen starvation in seconds

                  The close proximity of the letters 'G' and 'T' are the reason I'll never again send an important email and end it with "Regards" ....
