Dru Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 detroit? shit, dude ... i'm so sorry! If I had a functional camera, I'd take some photos of my shitty, decayed home town for y'all. Maybe I'll try to hook one up in Detroit. It's less than lovely. Motor City Madness has touched the countryside! Quote
bunglehead Posted August 18, 2005 Author Posted August 18, 2005 Awww, thanks Cammy! I feel more at ease about my imminent death now! Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 just don't press too hard, the window pops out easily. bye bye boobies. in the event of a water landing, your seat cushion will act as a...seat cushion Quote
olyclimber Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 I imagine that I'm the pilot and that I'm flying the plane whenever I fly. I make airplane noises, and pretend like I'm moving the joystick around and stuff and talk to the person next to me like they are the co-pilot. So far its working, I haven't been on a plane that wrecked. However, there was a close call in Milan one time. But I blame that on the guy that was sitting next to me...I had turned the controls over to him when I went to the john. The idiot didn't even apologize for almost wrecking the plane. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 did the close call happen while you were in the can? did you "jackson pollock" the bathroom? Quote
Dru Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 just don't press too hard, the window pops out easily. bye bye boobies. in the event of a water landing, your seat cushion will act as a...seat cushion Fortunately shark repellant probably won't be needed for a flight within the lower 48. Bunglehead, I advise you to choose fat passengers to sit next to. Not only will they provide cushioning during the crash, but their plump bodies will keep you fed longer during the "Alive" period where you eat the casualties until help arrives. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 you can also cut them open and sleep in them like snow beast in empire. Quote
bunglehead Posted August 18, 2005 Author Posted August 18, 2005 never tried that. Last time I flew, I just got REAAALLLY drunk the night before so I'd be passed out on the plane the whole time. Seeing as my plane takes off at 5:45 AM, I don't think I can swing that this time. Quote
sobo Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 ...Seeing as my plane takes off at 5:45 AM, I don't think I can swing that this time. Pfffft! As we used to say in college: You can't drink all day unless you start first thing in the morning! Quote

Dru Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 if the plane takes off in the morning you can start the night before and drink all night. Quote
fenderfour Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 I want to help ease your fears. I posted this before... somehwere... The engines on a 737 are held on by 3 bolts that are about 1/2" thick. They are all designed to break. The engines on the rest of the Boeing fleet have 5 bolts. That's right. We make 'em safe. The strongest part of the airframe is the wingbox - the section of the fuselage that is at the wings. There is a large structure build-up to allow for the transfer of forces between the wings and the fuselage. The bad part - you are sitting on a gas tank. Quote
bunglehead Posted August 18, 2005 Author Posted August 18, 2005 there's a bar at the airport. just go early. I don't think the airport bar is open at 4 AM.....Except for pilots. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 Well OC already established you could be a pilot, or at least, you could have the basic lunch tray manuvers down. Just wear a navy suit with epaulettes and hat. And act drunk and talk about how easy it is to barrel roll a 777. Quote
olyclimber Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 The sense of power and control over your own fate is amazing. try it. Quote
sobo Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 Just wear a navy suit with epaulettes and hat. And act drunk and talk about how easy it is to barrel roll a 777. ...and how many chicks you scored with at your last Tailhook. Quote
griz Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 In all my years of flying I've only been around 2 plane crashes and they weren't even the planes I was on at the time...relax. Quote
barjor Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 You know there been 3 really bad crashes the last 2 weeks so the odds that it would happen again is pretty small. We already filled this years quota. Ooooo And if you could bring a bomb onboard to. The odds that it would be another bomb onboard would be almost zero so that would keep you safe from terorists. See it is all about sience and math and all that hocus pokus crap Quote
griz Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 speaking of bombs... wasn't there a couple inner city kids shooting at the planes in Detoit as they landed? can't find the link though. still a couple on the loose the last i heard. Quote
archenemy Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 Not shooting, they were shinning lazers in the pilots eyes. they have been prosecuted if I remember right. Quote
