    Yup and that plane would have had a full tank with a nine hour flight ahead. Absolutely terrifying, that pilot would have been saying his prayers.

    There was early talk that the pilot had put out a mayday, but a couple of pilots questioned that, because they said, why would you do that, they go you wouldn't because you need to gain control of the plane a mayday call is not going to save your life. Heard no more about that mayday call since, the media have wisely dropped the subject.

    It's like something out of science fiction. The media were insistent reports were everyone was dead, then there's this guy wandering about like hey dude that was some hell of a ride.

    It's the sort of thing where seat 11A will forever be known as a 'lucky seat'.

    I can just imagine Ryanair charging extra to sit in it.

    He’ll milk this for all it’s worth. Walking out to greet a football stadium with ‘11A’ on his back. A Netflix doc, book deal. Dislike him already.

    It looks like seat 11A is the first row of economy behind business class, seperated by emergency exits, so the one with most leg room...

    Had the same thing happen to me once... no explanation, nothing said over the intercom... we were close enough to the ground you could probably safely jump (if you had something soft to land on)- and then- back up we went... circled a few more times before landing.

    Usually the survival rates plane crashes are towards the tail section.

    he is one very lucky man to walk away from that

    The only thing with positive confirmation is that 'Trump knows nothing' ... which continues to be a universal truth ... latest confirmation of it comes from some bloke named Elon...

    More seriously - suggestions are that these particular Iran strikes were not sanctioned by the Orange Blimp and may even be causing him some concern...

    The Mossad built a covert base inside Iran in which they built drones and used them to knock out Iran's surface to air batteries ahead of last night's airstrikes.

    Bloody hell.

    Tbph I haven't seen what Trumps got to say about it, my opinion is the opposite to yours though, I think Trump knows everything about it. Iran have been a concern for some time, and despite my hatred for sending people to war, I've said on here a few times that Iran need a slap...they sneak about in the shadows with their little agendas just getting their puppets to do the dirty deed for them, then they are the 'we know nothing'.
