You can see the divots on the wing where it hit. The base of the tower is on the left between the van and the personnel. Why does it have a shroud over the cockpit, though?

My buddy is a glass blower whose neighbor thinks the fumes are making their way over to his house and hurting him somehow. So he has devised an ingenious way to keep those pesky fumes away. Yes that is a box fan

Yeah just remember "allah akbar" is basically the arabic/muslim equivalent of saying "jesus christ", and all the various different ways we use that phrase.

chitoryu12 posted:Not as unsafe as it seems. Shotgun shells are so common for zip guns because they have a surprisingly low operating pressure (the high recoil of a shotgun is from the mass of shot being fired), so common hardware store pipe can safely be used as an improvised barrel. I was thinking more about how close his hand is to where the explosion comes out.

If it wasn't that crash, there was another one where the where the pilot where yelled "allah akbar" as they were crashing and it turned into a huge  clusterfuck.:edit: It was Egypt Air Flight 990 and he said "Tawkalt ala Allah". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EgyptAir_Flight_990 I guess he supposedly did crash the plane but it was for personal reasons, not terrorism.

Chadwick replied, "No sir, you tell her that you love her, because I'm getting you out of here." The emergency crews successfully pulled Warmerdam out of the aircraft ... Despite his injuries, Warmerdam survived the plane crash. Hot drat, this is like seeing the stinger at the end of a movie for the first time.

Blown out, actually, as the pressure inside the plane was greater. Also I'm sure you've watched it but for everyone else, you need to see the Air Crash Investigation episode based on this incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIQQhqpVY80 Better yet watch every episode of Air Crash Investigation, it's a great show.

Do we determine which is which based on the total volume of the higher pressure gradient? Like if it's the inside of the plane you're blown out, but you're sucked into an engine intake?

FIRST TIME posted:Ha ha, I've joked about watching Air Crash Investigation on a plane. I never knew it was actually offered by the airline. I only saw it the one time on a Toronto-Vancouver flight; the first episode was one where they land safely and I thought "oh, they're picking episodes to reassure flyers" but the next ep was a "nope everybody dies" one. Only thing I can think is because Air Canada is the official carrier for Canada "having Canadian content" somehow managed to trump "is about people dying in air crashes".

That happened in a grocery store I used to work at once. It was the aisle with the deodorant on it. A can of Axe broke on impact, took off like a rocket, and barely missed hitting a cashier in the head.

Probably pretty drat common considering how the media screams its head off every time something bad happens with a plane. I've learned to be much more afraid of driving on the interstate than flying in a commercial airliner that's not going over active war zones.

One of the reasons I really enjoy watching Air Crash Investigation and urge other people to as well is it actually made me feel safer about flying. Yeah, planes crash, but they are rare and assuming your pilot isn't a moron, they along with the really advanced technology flying the plane can probably manage to save you from whatever crazy scenario you're in. Ran out of fuel at 30k feet? No worries, you can glide it to a landing strip. Pilots being attacked by a guy with an axe trying to suicide himself for the insurance money? It's ok, they can roll the thing on its belly and take it near mach 1 speeds and you'll still make it home alive. Explosive decompression from a faulty cargo door takes out a chunk of the fuselage? Well, those 6 people that went through the engine didn't have a good time, but everyone else made it!!
