BossHogg Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 As has been highlighted there was nothing majorly wrong with the plane. The pilot acted in the completely wrong fashion which resulted in a plane crash. The cockpit had to take full blame for that crash. They realised the error but sadly too late. If the speedometer on your car malfunctions mid journey you can assess your speed in many other ways. You dont simply crash into the central reservation and then blame your Ford while picking bits of metal from your skull. quite! Or you wouldnt go to a garage and say my car has had a catastrophic failure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ways do pilots judge their speed similar to car drivers when their speedo is facked? Wonder why they're overtaking all the planes? Observe that the trees appear to be going by faster than usual? They get flashed by a sky speed camera? Eta - I know what it is, they get those flashing 'SLOW DOWN' signs when they fly into a built up area.

Look out for overtaking Geese 15,000ft below you? Stick your head out the window? Edited March 10, 2014 by Tommy Nooka 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eta - I know what it is, they get those flashing 'SLOW DOWN' signs when they fly into a built up area. So you're saying the only way a pilot can guage a plane's speed is by looking at a speed dial? Do you really think if that packs in the game is over and it becomes a fatal situation? Of course you dont and the rest of your reply screams of 'look how funny im trying to be' when the reality is you've made yourself to look like a complete moron. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 A little concern with the Malaysian authorities statement today to the Chinese relatives..."because of your concern we are willing to FLY you to Malaysia you can be closer to the investigation" what the fucks that all about. Ok so my family has just disappeared while on a flight from Malaysia, and they want me to get on flight...aye ok then 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Does that mean that folk shouldn't drive to the hospital to see a relative who was in a car crash? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight minge Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 yes but they are not catastrophic machine failures !Im referring specifically to media speculation that the machine catastrophically failed causing the plane to fall out the sky or disintigrate in the air....this doesnt happen in mordern planes. Although your right in your reply, it's not impossible for a modern plane to have a catastrophic failure. The very first fly by wire plane crashed due to a catastrophic failure. There have been many engineering failures discovered in recent years that could have resulted in a catastrophic failure. It's an absurd statement to make that it 'just couldn't happen in a modern plane'. It is of course much, much more unlikely with modern technology, maintenance and redundant on board systems but not impossible. God knows what has happened here, the most logical reasoning would suggest a hijacking gone wrong or a terrorist attack, but usually someone claims responsibility for terrorist attacks or it kind of makes them pointless. It's a big, isolated part of the world where the plane disappeared and it may take some time to discover what has went wrong, but to claim something has happened or something is 'impossible' right now is mad. As for the Air France plane, airbus were quick to blame one of the sub contractors and vice versa in lieu of any factual evidence and at the end of the day, the pilot and co-pilot fucked up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the same amount of idea as to how a pilot assesses his speed without a speedo as you do, ie. none. You're the brainiac who compared a Boeing 777 flying at 350mph at 35,000ft to a Ford Fiesta. The rest of your post sounds as if you're ready to burst into tears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you know what it can be like here, logic dies when 'face' takes over. If they want to be closer to the investigation they could just dump them in the sea. ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Nooka Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Didn't realise the A Team were now involved. This story gets stranger by the minute. Should be a relief to the relatives as everyone knows no one dies in The A-Team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 From David Learmount Chief editor of Aviation and expert in flight saftey... "The likelihood of this having been something catastrophic having happened to the aeroplane, just forget it. It wasn't that. Catastrophic things do not happen to modern aeroplanes. They just don't." When i read that quote i immediately thought of a smug jerk i had seen on the plane crash program a few days ago on channel 4 and Its the same guy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) What ? like bombs ? ... or being flown into buildings ? Both fairly catastrophic things yes !?
