Surely everyone on those planes was instantly atomised as soon as they hit the towers? She half was. I suspect she was blown from an office, but this guy said a plane. It's an exceptionally grim description he gives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimron Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Could have been in a rear seat, as Les Dawson said "safest seats, ever seen a plane reverse into a mountain?" Sorry... poor taste but couldn't resist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 24 minutes ago, Spider said: There's a multi-part new documentary on National Geographic It's probably the best of the lot. Some of the interviews with survivors are beyond beleif. In episode 2, a doctor is going round tagging bodies on the ground (before the towers fell) and tells a story about a woman who'd been on one of the planes but was still alive on the ground. Most harrowing thing I've ever heard. No, I'm not having that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an air hossie who fell 30,000 feet after a mid air collision in Yugoslavia back in the 70s, she was strapped in a seat and landed in a river, they reckoned that helped her survive... knackered her back but she lived, I think she remains the record holder for surviving a free fall without a chute.

Regarding the floodlights I got a right bollocking from the site safety officer when he found out that four of us had gone up the ladders one evening after work without safety harnesses 🙂 I walked across the North Stand roof during a familiarisation visit without a harness.

I’ll stick it on tonight after MNF probably be more enjoyable than that. I saw something the day that when new broke to the hospitals all surgeries and all a&e’s were cleared they drafted all staff in, in preparation for the barrage of emergencies but were all left relatively empty because there weren’t many survivors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjayoghani Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Mentioned it recently but some person on the Lockerbie flight had survivable injuries (broken leg I think) but they succumbed to exposure. If it had happened in summer they would have probably survived. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/267865.stm Edited September 13, 2021 by jayjayoghani Add source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way a human hits a maximum speed of about 120mph when falling and slows as the air thickens, you could hit a tree and if avoiding being skewered potentially may just survive. Probably have a bit of a headache, like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the plane broke up rather then burst into flames, the medical bloke said that most people on the plane would have initially lost consciousness but regained it as they fell through air with more oxygen. Same with the Malaysian flight that was shot down. Basically, it’s just better if you cop an engine in the face straight away because fuck me, imagine waking up to see the ground coming at you like that.

A relative of mine in the bobbies saw Police footage of Lockerbie the morning after. He said the bizarrest image was a pair of legs poking out of the top of an outbuilding. It appeared that it was a victim off the plane that had fallen, frozen solid, torpedo style into some blokes potting shed. I'm probably not making Deane's wank any easier here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I'm sure Piers Morgan once tweeted that there was no such thing as a tough wank there was only a lack of mental strength. Or maybe that was about tennis, all that shit tends to merge into one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s an understatement The whole 9/11 thing fascinates me as it can be looked at from so many different angles. This series is the grimmest by a long way The programme that interested me most was actually one a few years ago that looked at the engineering of the building, where the planes struck and why the towers subsequently collapsed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
