Rob W 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I trust Rob's opinion on this one, who can doubt that he hasn't experienced death in a plane crash ?? Lets face it, he's done everything else ! 86532[/snapback] Yes - and I'm in a Limbo where every year people say "we're going to win the Cup" and we don't...

Gemmill 34503 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I used to say that statistically you are more likely to die from a coconut falling on your head. But then when I was sunbathing in St Lucia last year, a coconut fell from a tree and missed my head by about 6 inches. Judging by the weight of it, I reckon a direct hit could have killed me! Now I'm scared of coconuts as well. 86530[/snapback] So the list of things you're scared of so far is: Planes Coconuts Mice that emerge from video recorders. Owt else?

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well it happens bloody quickly - they know this from actual incidents - like that business jet that flew right across the USA before crashing - fighter pilots could see the crew slumped in the cockpit ........ they reckon you've only got a few seconds at high altitude 86472[/snapback] Was that the one with the golfer on board, Payne Stewart?

It was the same mole who exposed the fact that he told them if you launch the shuttle with the temperature so low, it'll blow up who stated he'd seen the medical readings which proved that some of them were still alive for a period afterwards... Many reckon that the cockpit of the shuttle actually remained intact as it decended to earth and think they can see it on the footage...

Gemmill 34503 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 How would NASA have even the remotest idea that they were alive after the explosion though?

They pointed Hubble towards the plumpeting cockpit and the crew were still alive, quite happy and not suffering in the slightest. Rob will back me up on this one.

Craig 6307 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well for starters the astronauts all wear bio-med sensors and their medical stats are analysed by the flight surgeon in Mission Control. In addition to that: ".... at least some of the crew were not only alive, but conscious, for at least a few seconds after the orbiter broke up. The forces of the breakup were not violent enough for a high probability of lethal injury, and some of the emergency-escape air packs had been turned on manually."
