Re: Won't wear seatbelts..aka Princess Diana Syndrome

A video tour up the cabin immediately after landing and deplaning, by the looks of it. The crew are still on board. May be the blanket-covered body right at the end of the video. https://x.com/PBoro1118/status/1792945372244898036 Some evidence of blood on the overhead bins. the forward section of th...

Looks pretty grim https://x.com/CordeliaSkyNews/status/1792885936394752476 https://x.com/vk26011950/status/1792921725618807279 The body seems to be visible in one image, covered by a blanket. Looks like at least one person was thrown up into an overhead bin hatch and fractured it with their head. On...

Re: Won't wear seatbelts..aka Princess Diana Syndrome

Heck, I used to have a lockable 9 point harness and a helmet in the aircraft, and needed them! As, with my 'agricultural' flying, did my nav. :D I'm wondering if some of the injuries were caused by loose articles, rather than simply people hitting bits of the cabin or each other. Laptops flying abou...

Re: Won't wear seatbelts..aka Princess Diana Syndrome

RIS is correct. More space so more relative speed when the human collides with something else. Generally, the human maintains speed, and the thing they collide with has slowed down. This in turn creates more impact deceleration, and so more force, and moment, and pressure, in the collision, which ar...

I used to teach the physics of Diana's crash.
It's worth pointing out that people in First Class are at more of a risk, and more of a danger to others, than those in the cheap seats.

Re: An appropriate Grace....

OC XI was in the habit of randomly calling on any member of the company at Dinner to provide a Grace. One needed a sensible one and an amusing one memorised, depending on the formality of the Dinner. I can now only remember my amusing one. If all be true that I do think, There are five reasons we sh...

Re: Rant of the Day v2.

I have a feral cat on the property next door. The former owner of both, now deceased, told me the cat had always acted feral, and lived in a den outside the house rather than inside. So my neighbour passing on make no difference to his cat. There are coyotes and foxes around here, I'm about on the b...

Re: Not TOO soft, I hope.......

Foreign Minister also likely toast. Despite a Fatwa being issued by the Supreme Leader, Invalid Votes came second in the last Presidential Election. All of the mainstream and popular candidates were excluded from running. So, doubtless Khamenei (previously the 3rd President) will have to shoo-in ano...

The rain and fog at the crash site is now turning to snow. The aircraft is now reported as not yet found, despite earlier reports that it had been. I do not fancy the chances of anyone surviving unless they were uninjured and could use the wreckage for shelter. At least 3 ministers and the Head of t...

Re: A grave mistake

Iran: The President's helicopter is down in fog-covered mountains. No word on his condition, but the IRGC troops are on the streets of Tehran. The report is that the helicopter had a 'hard landing'. However, 'hard landing' is often a euphemism for crash in that part of the World. No evidence that th...
