…watching aeroplanies from a cemetery.

As you might expect, 3WE has watched the cemetery from aeroplanies several times.

Indeed, it would be a convenient place to stall spin crash burn and did died.

Ironingly, Ozark 809 was a little bit short when it crashed.

(Wicked cool jetphoto) :clap: TWA = "Three Wholer Airlines"? The 727 was THE most popular airliner for a very long time. And, yes, some older ones had the special oval inlet. Some hell better aeroengineer thought an oval was better…then the circular faction won out… All without PowerPoint...

El Presidente de Iran…

Probably won’t help World Peace.

Conspiracy theories will be offered.

We seem to fare poorly in the IMC department…

…in an ‘aeroplanie’ where one can avoid some of the risks of going 140 knots 100 feet above the ground in minimal visibility…

Indeed.

I ass-ume it’s a nice magenta line and moving map. Still, it looks close.

…but it is an aeroplanie and a Coldplay tune.

¿Exageración en los medios de comunicación, modismos lingüísticos que no se traducen correctamente, o ambas cosas?

I like that moment where all passengers realize at the same time that they're in a cheap-composite-crackerbox.

As stated above, the drop is certainly scary, but the subsequent pull up is where the cheap composites are exposed to stress..

bother with W&B calculations nor load bearing abilities.

The text on this also implied the involvement of Roadrunner and Wyle E. Coyote

While I trust the industry for safe flight, this look a couple of standard deviations unpleasant and this (and the following ‘relentless’ pull up) would trigger a good dose of foffieness and prayer in me.

To clarify: What I’m getting from DAN is the approach being insidiously bad. The steepening approach path with horrendously bad timing causes the pilot to be ever so slightly behind… WITH VERY CRAPPY TIMING Descending fat, dumb, happy and competently. Ok, I’m high, I need to correct…look away briefl...

BUT

Is he basically correct that the gal did almost nothing wrong hitting a lightless tower that basically was in a reasonable, instrument-enhanced glide path?

Cheap organic, carbon-based composites?

Yes.

With much fuselage delamination.

I hope they're equipped with hush-kits

No.

ATL, ORD, DFW, DEN can suck it.

VFF is overwhelmed and holding aircraft on the ground.

https://youtu.be/JGnUexrYlwY?si=7DYklz9l5RIUbj0F Ok, Evanie, and Gabe and I all fell for the outsider trap. WHY ISN’T SOMEONE SIMPLY FLIPPING THE BREAKER AND SIMPLY HITTING THE FIRE WITH AN EXTINGUISHER?!?!???? But then we think about it a bit more and realize there ARE breakers and guarded switches...

…trains…

I hate you (Due to jealousy)

...put a decent fire extinguisher by the plane and train rampies how to use it? Maybe rampies fear being put in a scab list by the firefighters' union . Indeed! Flyover is a pretty traditional union town (teenagers are required to join the grocery workers union if they have a summer job bagging gro...

The ironing here is pretty damn thick: While Evan would like volunteer-staffed inflatable rescue rafts, do you think we might put a decent fire extinguisher by the plane and train rampies how to use it? Edit: I'm sure there were probably a few good fire extinguishers available...but the video isn't ...

By the way, in an emergency, it’s 0 PSI to the brakes ;) No wonder trainies don't brake ... Because I do not_trust Gabriel, The Piss-Poor Trainbrakeengineer, to actually chime in with edifying comments, I wanted to remind everyone that 0 PSI in the brake pipe sends roughly 90 (maybe slightly less) ...

Definitively me by 3.b (1) and (2) (but not_3). And proud of it!

I would be careful if you were jump seating on an airliner.

…followed by dynamic (and maybe friction) braking.
