Re: F.A.O.: 3WE
...3WE... Leave me out of this. On two occasions, I gave some photo editing advice and Brianie agreed. Ever since then Karlie has razzed me AND tracked the rejection flame wars. More recently, I suspect that some of these guys are trolling... Ok, I admit it, it gives me a crap eating grin... :mrgre...

Re: What am I missing? A big IL 76
Regarding the shift CG theory, the history channel deal on the 747 where the armored Hummer came lose, they said the plane was aerodynamically ok (based on arithmetic) but that the hydraulics AND a jackscrew got boogered. Gabieee once also implied that people loads aren’t that heavy compared to fuel...

Re: Southwest engine went boom
Here is the obligatory cockpit crew bashing post: Sounds like they 1. simply followed engine failure/fire procedures and 2. continued to fly the plane. To heck with the embellished headlines. As to whether they did 2 based on fundamental rules or because it was on an Evan check list, who knows.

So I see in Wiki, that a wing caught on fire before it went down...reasonably accurate?

Crap...initial reports cited no serous injuries.Sucked pax did died.

Is this the first ever passenger death on Southwest?
For years they claimed no deaths, but then one of their over runs killed some folks in a car on a road next to the airport.

Re: Southwest engine went boom
Indeed - I have seen the jetphotos. Unfortunately they have several photographic issues. "Passenger partially sucked out of window" and other injuries. Her hair-do probably did died. I thought scientific engineers designed engines to not spew parts into aircraft. Will the normal debate about what c...

Re: Just to let you know I am still alive.
You are still alive...
Hiccups still occur in the aerospace system...
Discussions of those hiccups (though fewer of them) still occur here...
This is good.
Please share thoughts, speculation as well as important recommendations as to how the industry needs to improve.

Re: 3BS Witnesses a very rare event at Flyover International
That's not a Boeing. I was afraid of that. Logically, with the fighter plant within sight I figured they'd want one of their planes...then again, the hidden message that the eurotrash-FBW-special needs help might be the intent... ...but I've been pulling on the rope the whole time.

I must admit, standing at the airport fence watching planes is cool.

Charity day for special Olympics.
Fun activities take place on active? taxiways.
Crappy Boeing airliner needs assistance.
No donkeys involved.
Hoping no one is killed by stray meteorites.

...and remember, lawyers have nothing to do with your modern business practices. OK- total serious mode- no real message here- just a brief grin and interesting look at the olden days. I think most of us miss loud, smoky low-bypass engines as much as more liberal seat pitches and meals. History.JPG

Beautiful People "Tweet" during takeoff roll.
So, there's some indication they had a plane full of people and fuel (I.E. overweight) AND maybe the attention to detail was off? (although it could just as well be a meteor strike or something catastrophic and mechanical). https://www.yahoo.com/news/instagram-model-mariah-coogan-shares-192604403.ht...
