Complete Guide to Emergency Airplane Landings

Post by Ralliart »

I found this on another forum:

http://artofmanliness.com/2008/09/16/ho ... -airplane/

I don't know what is funnier.......the content, or the comments at the bottom of the page from people who actually think they can use this!

I nearly choked on my dinner reading some of the comments!


" I'm going to print this out and keep a laminated copy in my carry-on, thanks! "


" If the plane is in trouble and up you get with your saved passage on how to land a plane, move towards the cockpit, and I’m on that same flight? I’m probably going to kill you "

Shit I wasted all that money on flight school...where was this one-page article 8 years ago.

"Take a deep breath, look out the window, and figure out if the airplane is in a dive"

Another great example that people are stupid, the comments are by far the funniest thing I have seen since Rick Mercer's last trip to the US:)

Relax, it’s not as hard as it looks and if you follow a few simple steps you’ll be on the ground safely and in one piece for your press conference and hero shots.
