Plane crash in Russia

It was announced on this morning's Sky News that a lot more passengersmight have escaped down the front slides if people had not stopped tocollect luggage from the overhead lockers. Could one not make the case that every passenger seen on the tarmac*with luggage* should be prosecuted for collective manslaughter? Check out "Airplaneski" (1995) sometime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umr6JY6f2fw Things have improved somewhat, but Aeroflot still has a LONG way to go... |

I guess there is one more to add to the list. |

Dunno about US airline pilot recruiting, but here (EU) many civilian airline pilots came from EU airforces, carrying with them the military pilot's proverbial braggadocio... (sometimes I think that the gun camera was invented in a desperate attempt to sorting out the actual figure of enemy losses..) Best regards from Italy, dott. Piergiorgio. |

Any flying metal tube can be struck by lightning. they are lowering the metal content of the skin... i'm not sue if that is entirely a good idea I think that the fuselage would act like a Faraday Cage, but the main problem is what the various electrical and electromagnetic fields and brief power surges will do to the onboard computers - which are in control these days. I imagine that the results of a lightning strike would be somewhat random on the aircraft’s electrics. This is not the sort of thing you want at 35000ft, but at least up there the crew have a few minutes to attempt to gain control and/or re-boot the computers. This is not a possibility if the aircraft is on its final approach at a few thousand feet above the ground. |
