Do's anyone els watch this programm?? i love it seen nearly all of them. Its incredable how much a plane can actually take. People suvive all sorts of [Poor language removed] on planes.

Thing is im flying to Dublin on friday an i stupidly watched the two new episodes last night. Shitting myself a bit now, The thought of falling from such a hight is my worst fear. I love flying normalyaswell.

Im going on ryanair an they are the worst planes iv ever flown. Bluetack on the wings an all that. Last one i went on was sponsed by 'HERTZ' big fekkin yellow thing. hurts on the side of a plane does'nt bode well does it? Flying skip. [Poor language removed] myself all the way(20min flight mind you).

Anyway back to the show........does anyone els like it, or is it just morbed old me??

Happy thats off my chest now.......off to watch the next episode..:unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure:
 
i used to make wings for airbus and the new big thing that theyve got, flight is an engineering miracle, it's only one thing that enables the things to fly and that's the shape of the wing, after all gliders dont need an engineto stay up there, they can continue to fly without any thermal updraughts whereas even with them if the shape of the wing was wrong then it wouldn't stay up.

on the subjct of things happening on planes i have had [Poor language removed] go wrong, in paris the plane had to be de'iced and after they'd done it the rig they use hadn't gone back completely and the pilot decided to move forward, taking off the winglet on the end of the wing (jumbo jet), he then carried on and taxied to the end of the runway, me and another guy were looking at each other thinking.....he doesn't know does he. then the engines revved to catapult us down the runway, we hit the buttons above in lightning speed and signalled to the stewardess (phoarr) to look outside, she immediately contacted the capt. and the engines shut down.we then had to get the train home taking about 13 hrs, they can fly without the things but i dont know about with them flapping along side and maybe the end of the wing was damaged too. ihave another near miss too that i'll put in another post.
any of you guys had any ?
your probably gonna regret this thread now sharpy !!!

After a 12 hr flight from the dominican rep. we were coming in to land at manchester airport an the cap. said it might be a bit bummpy landing. Well fukk me we were falling 20F at a time in air pockets.holding tight on the armrest i was looking out the window, waiting to come out the black clouds as i know it's a bit smoother.

I was sittin over the wing just hoping to come out the cloud when 'BANG' an a huge flash.......fukk i though the engine had exploded. an for a few seconds i thought i was dead(never been so scared in all my life) the plane rocked side to side an diped a bit an the engiens rev'ed up a bit.

We'd been hit by lightening right on the wing next to me. We poped throught the cloud an came in for a easy landing no problams at all. The cap. came over an said sorry for the lightening. when we stoped i looked on the wing an their was two big black marks were we'd been hit an it was smokeing. We were never in trouble really as it happens all the time to plane these days with nothing happening.

But when you up their an that happens........i was white as a sheet an needed to change my underwere....:huh::huh:
 
we were comin' in to land at jakarta and got to almost down, i saw the zebra crossing thing at the start of the runway, the plane then went full throttle and straight back up, the curtains between the sections were at about 45 degrees, all the alarms were dinging (no mask drop luckily) and i also assumed the frozen gripping position, there was silence with everyone looking round at each other, after what seemed about 3hrs the capt (who unbelievable was cap. kremen....unless he was takin the piss) came on and said sorry about that......there was a jumbo on the runway about to take off !!!! and that was quantas who'd never had a crash then.
i've seen a load abort their landings cos there was one of those huge ex-aeroflot cargo planes with props, struggling to get the engines upto speed for take off. been up in a cesna too and thats another tale !! like a reliant robin with wings !!
 
Sharpy why have you posted this before flying? you know how helpful every one is up to now no comforting stories there mate:lol::lol::lol:
 

I can't remember if this was Steven Wright or another comedian (Wright by the way is fantastic) but I remember this bit (paraphrased since I can't remember it completely):

I wonder why they put police tape around airplane crash sites? Probably because they don't want anyone wandering in the crash site, lying down, and then when someone finds them, they get up and say, "What the hell was that?"

Unreal Reidy.

"Uh Captain...."
 
went up in a cessna in christchurch, with a friend who had a license and had to keep his hours/touchdowns in to keep his license. we took off and flew around over the city, did the sights...downtown, beach, rugby stadium, work(so i could spit out the window) and then over our house waving to the missus, at this point he started panicking and swearing, i was ready to bale out (my hand was opening the door) from about 700 feet where i would've fell to my death on my own front lawn in front of mrs.b.o.g. and my newborn child when i decided to ask what the matter was, he then pushed a knob in and said," can't believe i've done that, it's like driving round with the choke out". i didn't go up the next time he asked. he's since been suspended as he crashed through a fence at the end of the runway with 2 guys from the c.a.a. who were doing a sneaky spotcheck after someone reported him for flying 2 close to clouds ?????????????
2 many close misses when i think about it.
 
Great show, the two scariest ones were the russian jumbo that went into death spirals, and the japanese one were the whole tail of the plane blew off and the crew couldnt understand why the plane was barreling.

I guess the thousands of planes flying around while i write this is comfort that its a pretty rare occurance for one to go down.

Odds of being on an airline flight which results in at least one fatality
1 in 6.06 million

My biggest fear isn't a plane crash, getting torn to bits by a shark beats that anyday.

What about the british airways that flew into the volcano ash (i think from mt. fuji). An all 4 engiens shut off. Fukkin big glider, an the white light on the screen.

An the canadian air the did'nt get the metric system right when it changed, an it ran out of fuel in the middle of know were. Ended up landing on a drag strip after sliding the plane in like a glider would do (like a crab sidewards).

An the africa air that was hijacked an the would not let it land, in the end it crashed into the sea. Right by a beach resort, an a holiday maker got it on film......unbelivable.
