AMAZING AIR CRASH PHOTOS
March 10th 2008 17:37
Just when you thought it was safe to chat up the airline hosty! Lots of amazing photos and passenger reports of what the hosties said after the landing. I don't think there is a lot of respect between pilots and some hosties....
If I had been sitting in that seat, I would have said,
"Excussse meee Stewardess, may I move to a seat WITH an engine still intact?
Well, I wish to believe this guy made it without being pulverised. How would this be on a calm sunny afternoon drive? And can you imagine what he had to say to his insurance company...."Duuuhhh, I wuz driven along and a plane hit it!"
The following really would instill confidence, wouldn't it?
"Hey steward, is there somethin' wrong with the engine?"
"Why no madam, they all do that!"
Following are some statements attributed to Passengers, Stewards and Pilots alike!
Airline Announcements:
United Flight Attendant announced, "People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!
"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane"
Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"
"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and, in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with home our compliments."
"As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses....except for that gentleman over there."
Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt Lake City - The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was quite a bump, and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt."
After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the attendant came on with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt. Crash and the crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal."
Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of U.S. Airways."
Heard on a Southwest Airline flight - "Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing and if you can light 'em, you can smoke 'em."
The following is my absolute favourite!
A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax... OH, MY GOD!" Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"
A passenger in Coach yelled, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"
I found out what happens to lost luggage!
Well...that should put you all at ease for awhile!
What is it they keep telling us? Air travel is the safest way to go...but they forget to say it is also the furthest to fall!!
But, having said all that, my favourite way to travel is by air, loved it since I was a wee whipper snapper!
One last thought, the following shows some wreckage left after a commercial airlines crash...
Those passenger jets leave quite a mess don't they?
But hang on, what's this...?
Big commercial airline crashes are always a complicated pile of stuff, wings, engines, bodies, wheels, seats, shoes, bags and tons of aircraft parts.
But not at the Pentagon...they told us that it all went into the building and melted.
This would make the crash the most unique aircraft crash in history!
Ask yourself, how does a jet of this dimension,
end up making a hole this big,
three reinforced walls inside the building?
How can a 269,434 lb plane hit the pentagon wall, have its wings disappear or magically fold in, and leave a 16 foot wide hole on the interior walls of the building, and no normal crash debris to be seen?
They say it all melted...no bodies, no seats, no wheels, no engines...oh that's right, there was one rotor photographed, trouble is, it was only a few feet diameter, whereas the 757's engine is 10 tons of metal and nine feet in diameter....
Makes one think eh?

"Oh noooohhhh!"....what the passenger thought.
If I had been sitting in that seat, I would have said,
"Excussse meee Stewardess, may I move to a seat WITH an engine still intact?
Oh Lucky Man!
Well, I wish to believe this guy made it without being pulverised. How would this be on a calm sunny afternoon drive? And can you imagine what he had to say to his insurance company...."Duuuhhh, I wuz driven along and a plane hit it!"

One last thought, the following shows some wreckage left after a commercial airlines crash...
large aircraft make a big mess!
Those passenger jets leave quite a mess don't they?
But hang on, what's this...?
Pentagon on 911: where is the plane wreckage?
Big commercial airline crashes are always a complicated pile of stuff, wings, engines, bodies, wheels, seats, shoes, bags and tons of aircraft parts.
But not at the Pentagon...they told us that it all went into the building and melted.
Suddenly the huge jet shrinks to 16 feet diameter?
This would make the crash the most unique aircraft crash in history!
Ask yourself, how does a jet of this dimension,
superimposed image, same sized aircraft
where are the wing and engine impacts?
end up making a hole this big,
Pentagon magic hole from far side
three reinforced walls inside the building?
Path of alleged 757 passenger jet
How can a 269,434 lb plane hit the pentagon wall, have its wings disappear or magically fold in, and leave a 16 foot wide hole on the interior walls of the building, and no normal crash debris to be seen?
They say it all melted...no bodies, no seats, no wheels, no engines...oh that's right, there was one rotor photographed, trouble is, it was only a few feet diameter, whereas the 757's engine is 10 tons of metal and nine feet in diameter....

Frankly, if I started an airline, I would give everyone an auto opening parachute, at least you would have a fighting chance, even if you had never sky jumped before!

well, sorry to have enhanced your fear of flying, but, your way of investigating the USA is a really great way to do it! You see the transition along the way, from place to place, and meet all the interesting people.
I love that kind of excursion too...and you only have one place left to see...AMAZING!! What is it?

so, the state of Maine eh?
Well, that should be an interesting place to check out too, I'd imagine.
And that means you have been in the Nevada Desert, and seen the huge mesas and buttes (the tall rock pillars), and also the Hopi Indian Reservation?
My sister Sally, who lives in San Diego, had a good friend who was Hopi, and her friend lived there in their traditional lands, amazing people too. Their cliff houses have been continually occupied for 5,000 years they reckon!
Now, have not heard back from you, regarding my last private email...Tammy...what are you doing about all that???
Let me know...
cheers
