Dude, cool shot group!
That was actually from a film commissioned by FAA to see what happens to the passengers during a crash. The plane was loaded with Crash Test Dummies, cameras from every angle imaginable, and remotely controlled to crash at a certain speed.
I watched the “film” on it and it was extremely interesting. The findings told them (whoever was officially curious) things they had no clue about. It seems to me that the idea behind the experiment was what actually happened to the plane upon impact, not necessarily what the pilots and crew do or don’t before the crash. Sometimes, the pilots are dead before the plane starts the descent, and that seems to be what the test was about: Could people survive?
(Too bad I didn’t go to school for this...)
Delete my last post, please. I’m SO out-gunned.
After waiting 2 1/2 hours Tuesday (I should’ve stayed home and got drunk) and seeing the outcome, this verse of a song from Blazing Saddles came to mind. Thanks to Mel Brooks....
Now it’s a time of great decision
Are we to stay or up and quit
There’s no avoiding this conclusion
Our country’s turning into sh!t.........
How stupid am I? I thought that was a rooster. (Or a roaster!)
Nope - you’re getting me confused with somebody else; my bitch was JR’s insistance that FR is now “fixed” and I dared to disagree.
I miss the Illmatic.
