OT: Miracle Crash Humour already

I guess the Miracle Crash is big nooz - one of our local commentators remarked that one of the survivors "had broken two of her legs..."

Makes me wonder, how many did she start out with?

On another channel, they were interviewing another one of the survivors (is "survivor" really appropriate here? There was 100% "survival", after all) and he said, "The captain said, 'brace for impact'. How do you brace for impact?"

Simple, dude. Bend over and put your head between your legs, then kiss your ass goodbye. >;->

Cheers! Rich

Rich, but drunk

Unless you're in first class, that's impossible. The service is far slower than one's metabolism.

Then the captain says, "I wasn't talking to you. I was warning the geese."

Plane crashes in water. Everyone survives.

Looks like they're filming another season of 'Lost'.

Given the cattle-car seating on USAirways, I'm surprised that "coach" passengers were able to get out before it filled with water.

I bet you'll hear that a lot more from the folks who were there. I already heard one guy say how hard it was.

The workers on the river did a crackerjack job pulling folks out. If you have to crash, you couldn't pick a much better spot

--though the choice of season sucked.

The pilot was aces too. Remember how with no hydraulics the guy in Souix City had the thing cartwheeling when one wingtip hit with too much speed remaining?

That one off Madagascar cartwheeled too

--and he still had hydraulics.

** There was no " cartwheeling " of flight 232.

" Witnesses reported that the aircraft cartwheeled but the investigation did not confirm this.[3] News reports that the aircraft cartwheeled were due to misinterpretation of the video of the crash that showed the flaming right wing tumbling end-over-end. "

I made the same mistake from the same evidence. I'm even more impressed with the captain now. ...then they did the mandatory retirement thing to him shortly afterwards. 8-(

There were only 150 passengers. Obviously, the plane was only 1/3 full.

It was an A320, not an A380.

Um, looking at US Scareways seating chart for its A320s, I'd say it was obvious that it was a bit more than 1/3 full. More like, SRO.

Don't fly much? The A320 is not a huge aircraft. That particular aircraft (Airbus A320-214, tail number N106US, delivered in 1999) had a capacity of 150 passengers and 5 crew, so it was full up.

The engines (CFM56-5B4/P for this particular aircraft) were supplied by CFM International, an equal joint venture between General Electric (USA) and Senecma (France).

Particularly when the cabin crew was busy serving the foie gras in first class.

Only twelve seats in first class. Doesn't even keep one FA busy. The resto of the heard isn't getting much though.
