Now that was one worthless read.
Of course: more government. Clearly there's too much freedom, or this wouldn't have happened.
“If I was the captain and realized what was about to happen I would have told everyone on board to go to the tail of the aircraft in order to shift the CG back toward the tail and disrupt the dive.”
A little aerodynamics / weight and balance lesson for you:
What you suggest would cause a wing-stall and a quick rotate into a spin which would make the dive to the ground faster.
Of course if the Captain wanted to keep the passengers minds busy for a few minutes before their deaths playing musical chairs, then I guess that your plan would be beneficial....... sarc.
I know that! My reason for it is to throw the co-pilot off a bit.
That was a pant load...that cherry is lame. I do not thank you for having me add a “views” number bump to that crap.
Stall, spin, boom....in that order....same results.
he just set the elevation to 100ft, speed to max and sat there
autopilot would easily compensate for the slowly shifting weight of passengers passing through an aisle
“I know that! My reason for it is to throw the co-pilot off a bit.”
Considering that he was securely belted in his seat and an accomplished glider pilot with aerobatic skills, a spin probably would have been an enjoyable and thrilling way to dive to the ground for him.
Great video here!

I love gliding and soaring with the clouds.
Mandatory psych tests will accomplish nothing.
One person can lose their money, their family, have deaths of close friends/relatives and engage in psychological counseling and drugs but will never harm a fly.
Another person gets rejected for a date and drives a car into a crowd of people.
The Founders saw the secret....we are all individuals. One size never fits all, which is why socialism or medicine always fail. It is why we could all eat the same diet and we would still have obesity, high cholesterol, and heart disease.
Tap into the individual human spirit and embrace it. There is the solutions we seek.
Sorry. Still not buying it.
Too, too true. The Second Amendment isn't the problem; it's the First.
Thank God Geraldo Rivera is not a commercial pilot
There’s a lot of evidence pointing to Marilyn’s death being a murder and not suicide.
So 303 women killed themselves courtesy of the Kennedy brothers.
He was being diagnosed and treated extensively (a long period of time) for ‘clinical’ depression.
As I’ve said on the gun rampage threads, LOCK UP THE PSYCHOLOGICALLY DERANGED. Medication makes them pass for normal but they still are not functionally normal. If they cannot be held legally accountable for their actions then they require a legal guardian or chaperon at all times. Enough of putting them in positions of power.
The media LOVES a certain amount of chaos in the world. Look at the cable programming dedicated to chronicling the lives and murders of serial killers.
“What you suggest would cause a wing-stall and a quick rotate into a spin which would make the dive to the ground faster.”
Not if he told everyone to jump up at the precise moment
prior to the stall relieving their weight from the fuselage.
It would have given them time to open the door and get on the
wings so they could jump off just before the aircraft hit
the ground.
He apparently did this in order to make a name for himself. For this reason we should not mention his name. Just call him the Monster.
What was the speed at impact? Plausible to open doors & jump out?
I had read 430 mph - so fast that the aircraft was virtually pulverized upon impact.
Plausible to open doors & jump out?
No.
.....assuming we can trust the governments putting out this “information”.....the same governments that assured us the Malaysian airliner would “be found soon”, that “terrorists are on the run” and that “personal freedoms would be secured”.
Color me skeptical.
