Emergency Exit

PostHeaderIcon Emergency Exit

plane

Imagine this: you and eight buddies go on a trip.

You’re all in a plane when suddenly, while in flight, a wing falls off.

Can you imagine, what it would be like, to have a reunion with your friends in, say, a week from the unhappy event.

Reminiscing about the lucky coincidence that you all happened to be wearing … parachutes when the incident happened?

    Just a guess here – but do you think the cause of the crash MIGHT be the fact the wing fell off? 🙂

  • Paul says:

    I indeed DO think that that’s quite a plausible inference you just made there.
    Not that that causality was lost on me, btw.
    I already was quite convinced that a plane that has one or more of its wings fall off during flight is not likely to set a track record for safety.
    (Although, having 9 out of 11 people survive it, probably IS a record)

    🙂 I wasn’t poking fun at you – just the original author of that article. Instead of asking what caused the plane to CRASH they should have asked, “WTF – a WING fell off! Why!!?!?!”

    But yes, 9 of 11 is amazing. I wonder if I flew commercial again (hoping I never have to) if they would let me wear a parachute? No? Well, that sucks!

  • Paul says:

    “if I flew commercial again (hoping I never have to)”

    May I infer from that that you prefer flying military? (as oposed to ‘commercial’) In which case I must point out that ‘commerical’ flights have a much better safety record!

    Considering what I have seen people dressed in on ‘commercial’ flights, I’m sure they would let you wear a parachute!
    Make sure you’re seated in an emergency exit row though! Beating 210 people to the chase may make a parachute .. well .. just another obstacle.

    Oh, and ask to be seated on the side where the wing will fall off: that gives you an unobstructed jump!

    On second thought: don’t ask for that!

  • Rob La Gesse says:

    Actually I meant, “as opposed to charter/private flights”. The last three times I flew was with a charter or private pilot – and those were painless – fun even!

    And I always book my ticket on the emergency exit seat. Doesn’t everyone?
