Inacio posted:This Star Citizen weirdo asked on Twitter what landing gear this comes from (if it even is real) and now I really want to know Late response, but almost certainly a 3D asset store like turbosquid. Or some poor soul rolled their own. Was originally going to guess Unity Asset Store, but also just found out star citizen is being built with Amazon Lumberyard which is another level of sadness and hilarity. Edit: Amazon, Lumberyard, boy howdy I'm never going to get over that branding decision.

Sagebrush posted:20 years for that. Got tense when I heard “NOW.” juxtaposed with “these are the people we came to wipe out!” Was AA, what’s the likelihood of using the manifest and the video to punish any of these people? I would be absolutely horrified if I happened to be on that flight and they deserve it. Worst case cancel the return flight on them and leave em in DC.

 So, I had a bird strike on the way up while traveling for work in 2011-ish and... yeah, if this scale is one minute that’s pretty much what the plane/my heart rate did for what felt like five minutes. I was in the seat that most of the scary videos of this thing are from, but on a smaller plane. Flight attendant looked out my window, then at me, and then ran full speed aft. Cling clang at the start, and eventually the longest 10 seconds of my life of that full on failure noise which I’m guessing is an order of magnitude more frightening in a 777. The number of people that pressed the attendant buttons on engine cutoff was actually darkly humorous.

marumaru posted:i shat myself so hard when we had intense turbulence (literal rollercoaster feel) and the plane started washing machining. i don't know if it's a regular thing but they also turned the cabin completely dark which didn't help. can't imagine what a bird strike must be like I wrote about it somewhere and maybe can find it, it was a business trip and I spent the week in the field completely preoccupied with it. Sounds like a compressed version of what you experienced, with zero information while the pilots are doing the stuff that’s more important than communicating with the passengers. That part sucked so bad. If I find the write up I’ll post it, was quite harrowing for a super normal 6am flight out of PVD.

Hadlock posted:At what age are the airlines no longer required to seat my child next to me. I think at 2 I am safe but I'm guessing the bean counters have the age set as low as possible, something like age 5 or 8 An airline I’ll decide to leave unnamed recently attempted it at 3 1/2. It took a considerable amount of pushback and (borderline get-off-the-plane) arguing with the guy in the adjacent seat to prevent it. I was bullshit.

So there was just an episode on CNN, “The Full Story” about Sully and passengers’ experience after the Hudson incident.. It’s really got me triggered about a US Airways or UA flight I had taken with a birdstrike 90 secs in, PVD -> Charlotte and ironically it’s about the PTSD encountered by everyone involved. I dunno what else to say about it beyond that but goddamn did that just hit me like a ton of bricks. E: That being said, it’s definitely worth a watch.
