He said the mortgage payment was huge but it would be worth it in the long run because the home value would always go up since it was so close to the beach.

I've tried this line recently with someone I know in Florida and a common clapback is "How is the Plymouth rock not underwater, einstein" because grandma fw:fw:fw:fw emails went around with these images




The fact it's been moved a million times, chipped up for souvenirs and this has been debunked by most major news outlets doesn't matter. The fact the rock has been dry for 400 years means houses are forever.

The rock is dry. If you are arguing with objective proof that the rock is dry you are wrong and have some kind of agenda. I'm going to sit in my beach house by the dry rocks.

Aren't planes usually at cruising altitude by 20 minutes after take-off? I'm surprised this didn't catastrophically depressurize the fuselage. Lucky as all get out that nobody ended up hurt and the plane was able to touch down safely.

Apparently a bunch of people's phones were lost, and a child had his shirt ripped off his body as well.

I only know in passing from reading about the combined bomber offensive, and B-29s over Japan, but the plane was above the altitude where it's freezing cold, right?

"The bombers normally flew above 10,000 feet where air temperatures dropped well below freezing. Crew members wore electrically heated suits that plugged into the bombers electrical system to ward off the cold. Damage to the bomber or a system malfunction could cause a crew member’s suit heater to fail. To keep the crew member from being injured from frostbite, a bomber could descend to low altitude (below 10,000 feet) where the air was warmer."

"Bomber crews went on oxygen above 10,000 feet because of the thin atmosphere. Each crew station had an oxygen supply connection that the crewman plugged his oxygen mask into. Crew members used small portable oxygen bottles to move between stations when the bomber was at high altitude. Crew members quickly lost consciousness if their oxygen was interrupted. The oxygen system was also a potential fire hazard. To keep a crew member who lost his oxygen alive, the bomber had to descend to low altitude (below 10,000 feet)."

"A significant B-29 innovation was cabin pressurization. The B-29 had three pressurized cabins: the cockpit (which included the bombardier, navigator, flight engineer, and radio operator in addition to the pilot and copilot), the gunner’s compartment, and the tail gunner’s compartment. The first two compartments were connected by a tunnel running 40 feet across the top of the bomb bays. The entire system was designed to maintain 8,000- foot cabin pressure at an altitude of 30,000 feet. The job of pressurizing or depressurizing belonged to the flight engineer (although in emergencies there were cabin pressure release handles on the airplane commander’s control stand and in the gunner compartment). Under normal conditions, the crew was to begin pressurizing at 8,000 feet. B-29 crews were instructed to always depressurize (and go on oxygen) when expecting enemy action, if the bomber was on fire, or when preparing to abandon ship. Wearing oxygen masks was required when flying unpressurized above 12,000 feet."

"It’s important to note that a shell hole in a pressurized compartment did not necessarily render pressurization in that compartment impossible—it just added another leak to an already leaky fuselage. It was not unusual for a B-29 to return to base with assorted, multiple shell holes in the pressure vessel but still capable of being successfully pressurized."

"Explosive decompression does not automatically follow a puncture in an aircraft’s pressurization. Moreover, explosive decompression jeopardizes an aircraft’s inherent flight worthiness only in very rare and extraordinary circumstances—although it can be very harmful to the crew in the decompressed compartment. Explosive decompression is a change in cabin pressure faster than the lungs can decompress, and can result in lung damage. Even without lung damage, unconsciousness can occur in a very short period of time unless oxygen is used. The period of useful consciousness is considerably shortened when a person is subjected to rapid decompression because of the swift reduction in pressure on the body (this causes oxygen in the lungs to exhale rapidly). Partial pressure of oxygen in the blood can reduce an aircrew’s effective performance time by 1/3 to 1⁄4 its normal time. Another hazard of course is being tossed or blown out of the airplane if near a large opening and not wearing seatbelts/safety harnesses."

Seems bad
