>it's a punched rivet holes instead of drilled ones makes the plane *pop* at cruise altitude

realistically if you were onboard that ship and you were immune to the effects of pressurization what would you have done? would it still be possible to save everyone in there if you were the only one left conscious?

>It is still by far the safest way to travel
No, it's not. You've been fed a lie. Air travel is the "safest" way to travel based on 1 very specific criteria: Deaths per Miles traveled.

Airplanes fly very fast, usually long distances, so this metric is heavily skewed in their favor. However, if you count Deaths per Journey, airplanes are more deadly than bus, train, or ship. Because if a plane crashes, usually everyone on board dies, which can be hundreds of people. If a bus or train crashes, most people live and deaths are the minority.

They're all dead from oxygen deprivation. You could only save yourself and give the relatives the choice for an open casket funeral instead of bits in a box funeral.

why couldn't they tell the flight attendant to turn the cabin pressurization on? or was everyone a goner by then?

>Is there a problem?

>en.m

A stress fracture expanded a little bit every time the plane got to cruise altitude and expanded from internal pressure. After a while the fracture ripped and the plane went *pop*. First one was dismissed as a freak accident, then another popped and they grounded every single one. Had to do an experiment in a huge water tank with a sample chassis to check if that's what happening. After they found out what the cause was, they had to refit the whole fleet but they never recovered and went bankrupt.

People are just morbidly curious about how fuckups happen. Same reason why people stare at car crashes.

de-icing is another classic

Good idea: design a plane to automatically turn off an engine if its thrust reverser deploys when it shouldn’t, and continue the flight on only one engine.

Bad idea: in no way whatsoever tell the pilots why an engine would suddenly turn itself off, or why it’s a bad idea to force it to run.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAM_Transportes_Aéreos_Regionais_Flight_402

>The copilot, seeing the right engine power lever automatically move to the closed position, thought that the lever had slipped back due to a problem with the autothrottle system and pushed it back to the full power position alongside the left engine throttle lever. Once again, the automatic safety system closed the right engine throttle and the captain, who was conducting the takeoff, called for the autothrottle system to be switched off. After switching off the system, the copilot again pushed the right engine power lever fully forward and forcefully held it there.

>The safety system cable, responsible for pulling the power lever to the idle position, was no longer able to withstand the physical strain of being pulled one way by the actuator, while the copilot forced it the other way by pushing the throttle lever to the fully open position — the cable soon parted at a maintenance connection.

Its usually a chain of events each one on its own not major but all coming together to cause kino, some crashes can have dozens of inputs anomalies and errors.

>Mayday, entitled Air Crash Investigation in Australia, South Africa, United Kingdom, Asia, and some European countries, and Air Emergency and Air Disasters in the United States, is a Canadian documentary television program examining air crashes, near-crashes, hijackings, bombings, and other disasters. Mayday uses re-enactments and computer-generated imagery to reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to each disaster. In addition, survivors, aviation experts, retired pilots, and crash investigators are interviewed, to explain how the emergencies came about, how they were investigated, and how they might have been prevented. The program premiered on Discovery Channel Canada on 3 September 2003.

>Narrated by Stephen Bogaert for Canada and U.S.

Reminder to watch the original version for the most kino narrator.

The cabin and cockpit should be in a reinforced structure above the wings. Cargo compartments, center fuel tanks and equipment take up the nose and tail. Small cameras all over the plane help pilots taxi and give a way to check systems visually.

Ah the cirrus strategy. Its a pity that most accidents occur when landing or taking off and the parachute won't have enough time to deploy. You would also need some massive parachutes for a passenger airliner.

scientists found that rogue waves are much more common than they thought

Alternate thread theme

The worst part is that the cabin crew noticed there was loud grinding noise coming from the wheels but hesitated to tell the conductors for fear of being yelled at. Had they told immediately instead of deliberating among themselves for several minutes, the accident could have been avoided. The final report on the accident very pointedly noted that the shitty culture at Deutsche Bahn where trained engineers treat support crews like idiots and won't listen to a single thing they say is one of the main reasons the accident occurred.

I've been flying since I was a kid but sometimes my hairs stand up during really sketchy landings.
There was one in New Zealand in a valley with insane crosswinds and you could hear the pilots throttling the engines up and down trying to keep a heading, they redirected all the inbound flights to the airport like 30 minutes after we landed.

I've gone down hours-long Wikipedia rabbit holes of airliner crashes. Has made me realize under-trained pilots are the main cause of everything, since most things are recoverable if they do the right thing.

I remember reading how you could theoretically get an inverted rogue wave
that is falling into a fucking hole in the ocean

Rogue waves are just Poseidon telling ships to fuck off. He's been doing this since forever.

Thai airways flight 311

>the aircraft's manufacturer, Fokker, had judged the failure mode to be so remote a possibility that training for recovery was not necessary.
How fucking stupid is that? They put in a fail safe system but determine that it is such an unlikely event that they won't even train the pilots for it.

>all the people going to the side of the road that would've lived otherwise

Air travel is indispensable to today's world economy and politics.
Can't have people have seconds thoughts about their careers or travel plans.

attach a bunch of those explosive jets to the passenger section that some big planes use for short take offs and landings that quickly and concentrated fire to make opposing force

I'm sure it would take space money levels of testing to perfect but I'm sure we could as a species construct a safety mechanism that is basically just a bunch of giant guns that blast hot air underneath the falling tube to launch it upwards high enough to allow parachutes or other safety VTOL mechanisms to allow it to land safely, this would have to be on some kind of massive superplane designed of extremely lightweight material, but it could work

It said as soon as he entered the cockpit the left engine burned out. They were doomed.

ya got me

Nah. The 737 has decades of excellent service records. It’s the training standard non-US pilots are held to.

and that isn't even a big one either, but it still put the ship in a very bad position, imagine what that would do to a smaller boat, or how much larger it could be, it's a very scary encountering with the larger brushstrokes of the ocean

I'm sure when transporters are invented people will be just as unthinking due to corporate advertising despite them being 100% lethal.

Plane blew up mid flight, there's no evidence of a missile impact.

Only the two minutes for takeoff and landing. Once you’re in the air there’s nothing to worry about because if a catastrophic failure occurs, you will die before you feel the impact.

>putting yourself in the position to be subject to a house fire or robbery or earthquake or carbon monoxide or a herd of pissed off elephants
Imbeciles, I will end my life now, by my own hand, then nothing can hurt me!

Different user, I don't want parachutes. If anything, a nice composite origami escape pod that starts out as a 4cm wide folio and unflattens itself before use. Teeny tiny boosters underneath weigh the bottom down, and deliver just enough reverse thrust when they detect the ground to get 50% survival.

Fatties can get in up to their armpits.

Is sky diving scary? Like is the first moment out of the plane scary at all? Or do you just enjoy it?

Why not use the pressurized cabin to flush the fuel systems? At least get that highly flammable fuel out of the crash moments before

If training was the issue it wouldnt be grounded.

What if the compartment is spinning?
Almost anything is possible if you chuck enough money at it but the money men wont do it. Insurance is several thousand multitudes cheaper than RND and increased fuel costs.

This, most people probably could land a plane, even a jet if being instructed how to do so. Maybe not the cleanest landing but enough to live.

They're changing it because it was single sensor dependent aka a deathtrap.

>put down an already malfunctioning aircraft
Based mcdonell douglas keeping the skies safe.

it should be designed for the interior to work with the position of the vessel in whatever order, some kind of minor gyroscopic feature and having a much more secure strapping in system, and have the jets positioned to be able to attempt to reverse trajectory into a safe one from whatever angle, that is if the speed of the vessel and it's current distance to the ground doesn't make that impossible, but hey abby steps

this would be an entirely different design of an aircraft mind you, maybe it would be individual large vessels of passengers on a massive flat carrier craft

So they start off as sheets of carbon fibre and then form capsules which you get into. Then capsule is deployed and the pod will suicide burns to the ground?

I'm probably not the right one to ask, my brain might just be wired all wrong, but not for me. I did it because I get panic attacks and I figured if I put myself in that situation where panic is warranted then it might learn to not have one in non-dangerous situations. But then once in the plane I was completely calm, despite it being a rickety old thing fixed with duct tape on the wing etc, and the only thing I felt on the way down was that feeling in your stomach and the wind being directed into one of my eyes if I kept my head up, because the goggles weren't on properly. I'd definitely do it again with some better goggles, so I can actually admire the view better.

The publicity didn’t help but the Concorde was killed by BAe itself, they weren’t interested in extending the service contract, making retrofits or producing new units.

The point is to keep you from flailing when you pop out of a jet at speed. It's useless at low altitude unless we add wings, not designed for crashes on landing, (that's what the new configuration is for) strictly a way to escape at high speed/altitude.

The pod drops into breathable air and then positions a booster downward, automatically burning to slow descent just enough that the person isn't paste on impact.

So no change

sure I'll just fly in the plane that is made to fall apart

Well everyone else is, get with the program user.

'An F-35A in 2019 is expected to cost $85 million'
NOPE, sorry man you're way out in your estimations. Sure they cost billions in R&D but there is absolutely no aircraft that comes even slightly close to costing that much.

The booster could be a small propeller instead

I used to be

They designed it to the specifications they were given, which were approved by Boeing and the FAA.
God you poltards are retarded.

They did a very, very bad job of it. Shriek all you want, my company (PwC) has had nothing but trouble from hiring currycoders

This video made me feel better about flying than anything else I've ever learned: youtu.be/Vw0rlDs5tgs

I dislike spying shit like this when it comes to pretty much everything, but for pilots it's clearly a good thing.

You would need at least a 2 axis gyroscope for that design so your fuselage is now spherical in shape. That does sounds pretty cool but not very aerodynamic.
Probably cheaper to make the FAA actually supervise the design of aircraft and increase pilot training.

Being lost at sea or drowning would be so much more terrifying than falling out of the sky and blacking out.

>billions
The whole program alone has cost over a trillion. Also a single b2 spirit goes for 2.1 billion and the fly away cost is absurd.

Is he or she ok?

Imagine being such a weak fucking pussy you can't simply jump out of the plane before it crashes and land on some trees or water. Imagine being american.

Tell me some? I love the idea of 40ks warp.

>hoping to sit next to anyone at all
Empty row is the only correct way to fly

maybe but I think we need new aircraft anyway, population is so ridiculously high that I think fewer large carrier craft that can take a significantly heavier load even at a speed cost would be better than more smaller and faster craft at the cost of payload and passenger count, it's the future we might as well think big

that's literally not true

Because a bet's a bet you fucking pussy ass faggot. You never welch on a bet

I'm that guy.

This is true. Every time we go over preventable aviation accidents (by far the most interesting part of my recurrent training), it's almost always are series of events that continually make the situation worse until something fails catastrophically with no hope of recovery.

I would recommend the UPS flight that crash landed in Dubai because lithium batteries lit up the entire forward cargo bay making the cockpit fill with smoke until the first officer couldn't even see the instrument panel 2 feet in front of him.

WHOOP WHOOP "PULL UP' WHOOP WHOOP "PULL UP"

i remember this, I was there!

By the time the m*dtoid got into the cockpit, the left engine flamed out (ran out of fuel and exploded), and he started drifting down. He had experience flying but not with that kind of plane. They were all well and truly fucked because the pilots didn't don their O2 masks in time.

Yes you could, however the flight attendant got onto the flight deck just as they were losing fuel. Forensic analysis revealed that every passenger and crew member would've still been alive up until the crash, just comatose from lack of oxygen. At least the ones who didn't put on their O2 had no idea about their impending death.

>plane experience a minor case of turbulence

My soon to be 89 yo gramps jumped for his first time last year.

>They did a very, very bad job of it
They literally wrote the software that Boeing requested. Having a system that can crash the plane rely on one sensor is retarded and you'd see that if you could stop gargling corporate cock for two seconds.

people that fly a lot are more likely to die earlier, so there's your downside.

I'm a dispatcher so I have the added bonus of being able to jumpseat in the cockpit too. Non-revving is the fucking tits though, but you do have to suck gate agent cock.

The vast majority of accidents come from the Far East and Asia.
