Flying is kinda scary when you break it down you guys.

Here's how I break it down. If I suddenly fall at a given moment, what will likely happen to me? If I suddenly fall while I'm walking, for example, I'll likely just have minor pain for a very brief moment with no lasting damage to my body at all. Is this kinda scary? No, not really. Now, suppose that I am flying in a plane. That means that I'm way up in the air, going really fast. If I suddenly fall, I will smash into the ground SUPER hard and likely die from getting crushed by the immense impact or perhaps even burn or get shredded to death due to an explosion. And, you're exactly right, now that I've broken it down, I can see that flying is indeed kinda scary to think about.

They are probably somewhere with insane work ethic/culture. "Wow that crash looked terrible, but I am sure as hell not going to be late to work"

That's a lot of time

steve dave · « **Reply #890 on:** March 24, 2015, 10:01:39 AM »

so weird. almost like they were descending intentionally despite being nowhere near their destination. the only time the descent was out of the norm for a regular landing was right at the end (at least according to BBC to this morning).

Flight 4U9525 disappeared off the radar at around 11.20am, Le Figaro reported. The plane dropped from 11,500 metres to 2,100 metres (38,000ft to 7,000ft) in nine minutes between 10.31am and 10.40am, air radar services said. Initial reports said a distress call was made by the pilots at 10.47am but French authorities later said this was not the case.

great post brock

they're saying it was intentional..co-pilot waited until captain went to bathroom, locked cockpit, and flew the plane into the mountain.
ugh

So, another possible intentional crashing of a civilian jet liner with passengers on board??

yeah, just listened to the press conference.

russian rocket shoots down plane? ok, not a risk for me hopefully for awhile
pilot suicide? ok, I'm at risk of this (any murder suicide) at every moment of my life anyway so whatever
mechanical issue?: terrifying to me. I fly on the assumption that this bird is absolutely failsafe. if they start dropping out of the sky I'm going to have a problem.
mysterious disappearance plane? ehhh, I'm calling this one a pilot suicide as well

GoodForAnother · « **Reply #897 on:** March 26, 2015, 07:34:57 AM »

can't imagine being on that flight and hearing the pilot pounding on the door and noticing you're getting closer to the ground and realizing what's happening. terrifying.

steve dave · « **Reply #898 on:** March 26, 2015, 07:37:05 AM »

yeah, that's a tip back the entire bottle of xanax moment

pissclams · « **Reply #899 on:** March 26, 2015, 07:38:17 AM »

yeah the mechanical failure thing doesn't scare me much, although i did a bit too much research on how airlines are increasing the outsourcing of airline MRO to 3rd world countries like el salvador w/ very little oversight. so that's great.

i think the malasyia thing is suicide/murder too
