...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...

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...

Big Gabbie and Evanie discussion: It looks like the crew did not_do the all out ultimate maximum performance death dive to 10,000 feet. (10,001 feet- passengers out cold...10,000 feet they all jolt awake gasping for air). 3BS Comments- Indeed , it kind of looks like they descended expeditiously but ...

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?

Gratuitous speculation 1: Gal partially sucked out- BUT someone ahead or behind her got nailed by a blade. :( Somehow, I wanted to believe that you can be partially sucked out of a plane and not seriously injured- and initial news reports were not saying much about serious injuries and the inside a...

The recent crash in Katmandu has changed my interest in far away crashes. It would appear there's lots of information, but we are only seeing SOME of the information and SOME of the information is inaccurate or not useful, while OTHER information that would be insightful and YOU WOULD THINK be avail...

A news article: "There was blood everywhere" Jetphoto at Jetphotos: [***a busted window with no blood***]. Gratuitous speculation 1: Gal partially sucked out- BUT someone ahead or behind her got nailed by a blade. :( Gratuitous speculation 2: A meteor may have hit the front of the engine damaging t...

Sucked pax did died.
Per

Crap...initial reports cited no serous injuries.

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.

Is "exploded engine" one of the standard reasons for photo rejection there ? :lol: In one picture, they cropped off the very tip of the winglet...Also the odds of dust spots and sharpness and over/under exposure and lighting and category...way too high...and what if that aircraft registration is al...

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...

Why not 4 engines? Problem solved.
Per

Worked for a lot of planes...

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.

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. One more note- t...

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

Land plane, pitch tent, see how ELT is a bit off.

4/15/2018: A number of headlines cite troubles with fan blades and a downgrading of the 787 ETOPS approvals. All airplanes should have two different engines available from different manufacturers with minimal swap out effort required! Could some spare 340 engines work? Oh wait, they have been known ...

Hello Schwartz.

Welcome to the crazy side.

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

Glad you made it. Gasoline prices are up 25%. Hoping you will work on that. Ms what's her name is apparently on YouTube.

Flyboy: "THAT is going to be paperwork"

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...
