    Walk upto the hottest stewardess and ask her fancy a last ****....

    Then I'd pick her up , slide down her skirt while caressing her body, and I'd make sweet sweet love to her.


    Then go into the cockpit and thank the pilot for doing me the favour of announcing we're gonna die and buy him a beer when we land.

    I find you're better off hoisting up a skirt rather than sliding it down. A bit off topic but I felt strongly enough to post it.

    Honest answer, I would probable stick on my mp3 player and make a 20 minutes to death playlist. Might as well do something I like for twenty minutes rather than letting myself start wondering into sentimental thoughts.

    But my cousin Walter jerked off in public once. True story. He was on a plane to New Mexico when all of the sudden the hydraulics went. The plane started spinning around, going out of control, so he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other passengers take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the passengers are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of the sudden, snap! The hydraulics kick back in. The plane rights itself and it lands safely and everyone puts their pieces or, whatever, you know, away and deboard. No one mentions the phenomenon to anyone else.

    Oxygen masks are there for the illusion of safety. They get you high so you don't panic.

    I'd start sucking the **** out of the goddamn oxygen mask.

    The captain would never say that. Because in most cases he won't believe it anyway and will be fighting to save the plane right to the end. And if the plane is completely fcuked and plummeting out of control towards the ground the passengers don't need the captain to tell them it's game over.

    No they aren't. Up at 30,000 feet with a loss of cabin pressure you'll lose consciousness pretty quickly without them, from hypoxia.

    They keep you alive and conscious while the pilots descend to a much lower altitude where passengers can breathe normally.

    At this point your time is more than likely up, spend the next 20 minutes taking care of folks in their last moments, no point in panicking, time is up just spend the time you have left doing good for others, not much more you can do. You may come across a nice looking chick and get one last ride, a good deed never goes undone and all that!

    Try googling Ráméis, rawmaysh, raumaish or rawmaish instead.

    A polite translation would be "talking rubbish".

    sit as far back in the plane that i could.

    simple science and stats really the back of the plane gives you the best chance for survival.

    that or try and get one of thise wee seats staff use that make you sit backwards.

    and remember these days you won't have to remove your shoes before sliding down the slides!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,181 ✭✭✭Davidth88


    You know this actually did happen in Japan in 1985. A Boeing 747 lost it's tail and basically circled out of control until it hit a mountain.

    They found many letters to peoples' families among the wreckage

    What would I do...... get as hammered as possible .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    The life of everyone on board depends upon just one thing: finding someone back there who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,381 ✭✭✭nbar12


    i'd take the biggest sh*t possible and put it on someone's head and call them a sh*thead until we are dead


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    It depends on the damage. If it was very severe you'd be dead in 2 minutes, not 20. 20 minutes means that the aircraft is still relatively intact and can possibly be flown to a semicontrolled landing. An airport is right below you anyway. You'd be very surprised what punishment an airliner can take - they've been subjected to barrel rolls, high G loops and going supersonic and still survived, albeit badly damaged enough to be written off on arrival. Conversely, the can be brought down by a single missing screw.

    Dunno about that. IIRC the last airliner capable of rolling was the 707


    (they call it a barrell(sic) roll, but it's not)

    As for high G loops in an airliner? Nope. Well outside the flight envelope of modern airliners. Even that 707 roll was a 1 G maneuver. Going supersonic would be an issue too. Overspeed like that could cause serious damage, even structural failure.

    Now I'm open to pilots calling me on this, but that would be my understanding anyway.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
