Shit that happens with Airlines, thread

Nothing surprises me about Lufthansa anymore.
At least they have the burning desire!
For some good news, hope it trickles down to small planes as well.

Perhaps @Jm_ has more insight on this, but as I understand it, the feds don't give a shit about your "comfort". It's about can you evacuate the aircraft in a certain amount of time in an emergency. I have no idea what this time equals off the top of my head but, if an airline could give you 4" of hip room and strap you to an ejector seat that gets everyone off the aircraft within that time frame, they would. The only thing stopping that scenario is the fact that an ejector seat+parachute is heavy and requires regular maintenance, which is expensive. Meeting the evacuation time is what determines how many emergency exits there are on any particular air frame type.
Exactly that, and it's 90 seconds. There are other criteria as well, but that's the main part. It determines how many seats really, not so much how many emergency exits, even though they are somewhat dependent on each other.
One of my projects in graduate school was to develop a computer simulation for evacuation of the A-380. We found that under optimal conditions, it was possible, but when we slowed down a certain percentage of the population to around 70% speed, such as representing old people, it was no longer possible.
I think there are issues that need to be solved, but they aren't the FAA's area of responsibility. Things like noise levels during flight and on the ramp where you have to marshal people, possible vaporized oil in the air system, effects of squeezing people into tight spots (clots, etc), keeping passengers locked down because the airline doesn't have a gate or air-stairs, and so on.
I refer you back to post #71
It took moar effort to write that than it does to click the link.
It is standard, i dont care enough to change it.
The terrible picture of my life... it looks something like a mix between a shitzu owned by a chick with one tooth and @canadmos legs.
Going to be pretty hard to top this:

(ATC recordings at bottom)
Guy steals an airliner, flies around Rainier, goes around the Olympics, does a barrel roll (there is video of this too). I just listened to all of the ATC tapes, it's the most bizarre thing I've ever heard on ATC. Guy asks for the coordinates for the Orca with the dead baby so he can fly by. They are saying he didn't get shot down and it sounds like he just ran out of fuel based on the tapes.

There are much safer, better, less felonistic ways of doing that.
Sorry...
Everyone I know will be.So you'll be jerb hunting soon then?
My buddy who threw bags with this guy said he was one of his favorite people to work with there, hard worker and a nice guy.
God damn it.

Likely, but apparently most of it was so destroyed you couldn't tell it was a plane.... no surprise there. So i guess his body was pretty disfigured... no surprise there.Let me guess. Was it i the wreckage?
Not exactly DB Cooper, this kid.
You usually don’t find “bodies” in these cases, most just residue and scraps.
I had some buddies that were on their way back from Alaska and got stuck in Seatac while the fiasco happened. They were 2 days late to getting home and the luggage and 80lbs of fish showed up 5 days later, all rotten of course.
that sucks
