Off Topic Air Crash Investigation - Your most memorable

There's no escaping fate bruh. It's quantum physics yanow

 

I've heard a couple of cases in the far east where the chief engineer ends up committing hari kari after a plane crash. Don't know what to make of it, seems quite harsh, but then also an ultimate sense of responsibility.

 

Bloody hell, I bet that doesn't happen very often - a Hawk going down I mean. How come you were on the scene? Did you get to find out what brought it down.

 

I was in the RAF at the time responding to a crash alarm. Don't know what brought it down. They can only pop out twice and then it's an enforced retirement as it compacts the spine.

 

Did not know that. My son's just now in the process of applying for RAF cadets (within the CCF) when he goes into Year 9. It's something the school offers and is very closely linked to (army and RAF). I'm excited for him.

Interesting rule btw, does that apply during conflict as well.

 

Don't know but I think it would as it's a medical rule. I had a great time did 12 years straight from school was still 17 when I joined, spent most of my time playing footy though.

 

Why does that not surprise me with you lol. Well, at least he enjoys footy.

They have this fck off great place in Wales where they go to do all sorts of activities, mountains and lakes and ****. First two years is training, third year is leadership and then in 6th form as NCOs they lead junior cadets. I'm tempted to tell him he'll be parachuting next year and the risk of broken legs... I'm a sick bastard some times

 

Is there a particular trade he wants to do?

 

No mate, he's going through puberty it's hard enough knowing what he wants for breakfast.

 

That’s actually closer to the truth that you might think ...

 

Last night, in rehearsal, we nailed “Mr Crawley” (Ozzie Osbourne). I’m going to start learning “On The Turning Away” next.

 

I can't say I've watched it, however I did listen to a black box recording in which the plane simply ran out of fuel.

Imagine making that human error and getting home for tea .

 

Indeed, of fatguts proportions.

 

Wrong thread you penis.

 

Cracking programme, admired the old NZ couple that went all the way to the top with Boeing for justice when their son got sucked out of a 747 when the door dropped off at 38,000 feet. Wonder if they do any on the two 737 Max crashes..

 

Anyone want see watch two people drowning? They drown over a piece of driftwood ..

 

Reckon Boeing are in for some serious law suits over the 737 Max. They were trying to blame the first crash on poor maintenance and denied there were any computer malfunctions until the black box was recovered.

I reckon it could yet bring Boeing down - apparently they now say they have a software fix that will stop the plane trying to nose dive into the earth but its unlikely that they will have this loaded onto the planes and pilots trained until towards the end of the year. In the meantime every plane has been grounded and presumably all the airlines using them are going to claim compensation for the 6months they couldn't use them.

Garuda, the Indonesian airline, has already cancelled a US$4.9billion order for 50 of them, having received one to date, saying passengers have lost all confidence in the aircraft. I suspect that they will not only expect to get no penalties for cancelling but even get compensation for disruption to business plans.

 

A lot of the issues with the 737 Max was to do with the way Boeing train their pilots, or didn't train them more specifically. The issue with the 737 max was that the computer was trying to trim the nose down to stop the plane from stalling, but was giving the pilots faulty readings. The pilots tried to override the system but the faulty reading kept trimming the nose down until the planes lost control and went into a nose dive. Apparently Boeing didn't train their pilots in the MCAS system, which might not have made any difference if the system was faulty, but it's a huge oversight and one that could well end up in the courts under criminal negligence leading to corporate manslaughter charges.

Apparently in the Ethiopian crash, the plane nosedived so steeply that when it hit the ground the engines were found buried 32ft down in the crater it created.

 

I'm not sure if it was the case I'm thinking of, but there was one where at the time the plane's doors opened outwards. So when the latch wasn't closed properly from the outside, the pressure inside blew the door out and sucked at least one out.

Another one where someone was sucked out was this...

Aloha Airline flying at 24,000 feet the roof came off. The plane flew for another 15 minutes with the passengers strapped in to those seats as they are in the picture, finally making an emergency landing somewhere. One flight attendant was sucked out. Imagine staying seated in those frst 5/6 rows for 15 mins while the plane is still airborne

 

Can I please remind you boys that this is a football forum, yeah?
