Solaris 2.0 posted:Good friend of mine from college died in a freak helicopter accident and the only reason her crashed wasn’t covered more in local news was because another helicopter crash happened not long after that killed more people. I worked with someone who survived 3 different helicopter crashes in the military. He won't go anywhere near the things.

And military helicopters generally have more upkeep than civilian. I have been in several military helicopters myself that have had issues. I am another that will never set foot in one again.

There was a big deal made of helicopter safety in Hawaii less than a month ago when 7 people died on Kauai. They want to make it illegal to fly over Honolulu because there have been like 15 crashes in the past 3 years. Last year one crashed into a residential neighborhood in Kailua. Never go on a helicopter.

PhazonLink posted:the osha thread has taught me that helicopters are hell machines that want to violently fuse into the ground. I always think of something that a experienced helicopter pilot told me while I was in the army: airplanes want to stay in the air, helicopters want to stay on the ground, and eventually the machine always gets it's way. I don't go on helicopters anymore.

N and L are very similar mouth shapes -- I'm not joking. I used to be a language teacher and would help people get to an English L by first making an N and modifying their tongue position. G and K are even more similar, they are a voiced/unvoiced consonant pair. That's an astonishing fuckup but it's a fuckup of coordination not crypto-racism. The vowel sound is clear and it's an A not an I. lol is the appropriate reaction

Helicopters are loving death traps and I can’t understand why so many other medics aspire so hard to fly. Maybe if you’ve got nothing to live for.

People who made an honest mistake and feel horrible respond 1000% differently from people who are smugly trying to signal some poo poo and maybe play stupid and suggest that people are over-reacting etc.

I do not agree. I mean, yeah get mad about it. It's fun to get mad. I don't really know why I take these positions in this thread. Go nuts. Be angry. The woman clearly wanted to say the N-word on TV and get away with it, but you caught her! Good job. You're a real leftist. Everyone is proud of you.

Mat Cauthon posted:I always think of something that a experienced helicopter pilot told me while I was in the army: airplanes want to stay in the air, helicopters want to stay on the ground, and eventually the machine always gets it's way. Did this pilot think that airplanes are magic anti-gravity devices that will just float into the upper atmosphere if not kept in check? Because they will kill you just as likely if they crash. Just don't fly, it's the best for climate. Data Graham posted:And here I was to understand that helicopters cannot crash, because if they lose power they just magically autogyro down Kinda. All aircraft can glide or autogyro down if they lose power, but it won't save any lives if they have nothing suitable to land on. And it obviously won't work if the cause is something more drastic than loss of power, like a major mechanical breakdown or hitting an obstacle.
