Shadow0 posted:This is the power of having your seat forward and your tray in the upright position. Unironically this + keeping your seatbelt on and properly tightened is really solid advice for surviving an air incident. Of the three Asiana 214 fatalities, one of them would have survived had she worn her seatbelt. A shitload of non-accident aviation injuries are from people bashing their heads on the overhead console during unexpected turbulence because they took off their seatbelt once they hit cruising altitude and the seatbelt sign was off.

One time we were out on detachment and one of the pilots went off the runway. When he got back to maintenance control he was wondering how to write up the incident and my buddy in avionics said to him "Just write it up as '4 wheel drive inop.' " This upset the lieutenant and caused the maintenance controller to pull my friend aside and told him, "That was funny, but when the pilot is in the room you shut the gently caress up and leave the jokes to me."

They easily could have lost passengers to drowning, water that cold will lock up all but the most experienced swimmers without effective leadership and quick decision making to get people onto rafts immediately.

Thanks for this thread. Really cool pictures. The wife is a big fan of air crash investigations (mayday). I wonder how much of these planes is reusable. And what are the costs of recovering one from a mountain, forest or something like that. I guess it varies greatly from case to case?

mrfart posted:Thanks for this thread. Really cool pictures. The wife is a big fan of air crash investigations (mayday). So almost everything I've posted is a "hull loss", meaning that the plane is either 1. incapable of being repaired or 2. would cost more to repair than to write it off and buy a new one. Frequently parts are salvaged from craft. This has occasionally been a controversial practice when salvage has been sold from accidents with high loss of life, but typically high fatality also means there is no recoverable salvage anyway (besides metal recycling). One of the largest (Aviation) insurers, AIG, sells salvages hull loss craft as part of insurance recovery. Removal and breakdown costs are alllll over the place, generally if it's not in a relatively wealthy country in an accessible location recovery is limited to human remains and if applicable, data and voice recorders. The majority of air incidents are near airports and are relatively "easy" to recover wreckage but it's still in the order of 5 figures for a small largely intact plane to get hauled off somewhere. You see a lot of accident sites in developing countries being bulldozed and it seems shocking but realistically once they reclaim what they can of human remains and personal effects, large parts, samples for residue testing...there's not much else to be done. Disaster scenes can be major biohazard zones.  Accidents where the scene is basically plane dust are sad, but IMHO it's far, far worse to see total loss disasters with like...intact seats. Super high speed impacts, it's over before you feel anything. It is difficult to bury an empty casket but the alternative is far worse with non-survivable crashes. Onto happier material, more planes in predicaments!  ...I'm sure it'll buff out?  "gently caress you, trees. How does it feel. To get kicked. Right in the face."  "JetPort is please to announce it's first in the industry door to door service for our First Class passengers."  *duuuunun* 13Pandora13 fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Mar 12, 2020 |

 "Literally nobody is impressed you got it in the trench, Becky, Jesus."  "Last one in the water is a rotten egg!"  "Goddamn it TransAVIA, what have we loving said about littering on the side of the road?"  Seems like there could have been an easier way to build a bridge but okay.  The modular version of the II-62 was unpopular with Ilyushin's customer base; while many of them could disassemble the craft easily enough getting them back together proved to be as one nation described it, "a total bitch."

It is definitely Naval Station Norfolk. They have at least one runway there, but I don't recall it being right on the middle of the road.
