Watch Out For That...

"Mayday! Mayday! We are going to crash into the ground!" Those chilling words are reminiscent of the last words of Jane Dornacker, who, on October 22, 1986, was giving a traffic report during Joey Reynolds' afternoon show on WNBC in New York: "Hit the water! Hit the water! Hit the water!" The helicopter crashed into the Hudson River and sank. Dornacker was knocked unconscious and died en route to a hospital. The pilot was severely injured but survived.

 
Do you think all the people on the plane were dead before the explosion?

You can read wildly different reports about how fast it was going when it hit the ground but the slowest I've read is still around 250/mph. I was talking with Pam about this and I was saying that I assume they all died in the split second between when the plane hit the ground and when the explosion occurred. That seems logical to me but I have no facts to back my thought.

This is the air version of that submarine that imploded a couple years ago. I'm sure the minute or so it took from when they knew shit was going south until impact was horrifying but I also think the actual death of all those people happened so quick they couldn't have possibly felt anything. Right?

IDK, just something I was thinking about this evening.
 
Haha, sorry I just deleted the post Airplanes & Airports and put it here cause that's where whoever posted about the crash first was talking about it.

The sub was under a second. Note enough time for them to process their stupidity and their doom.

So if we agree they all died on impact, before the explosion, that too under a second.
 
BTW/If I'm rich enough to be flying private I'm also rich enough to have a pilot and co pilot who like served multiple tours of duty with the Air Force in Iraq or wherever. I'm not trusting some 20 y/o child as my copilot.

From what I was reading, it may also be possible they lost consciousness before the impact. They would have been experiencing heavy Gs and the body can only take so many of those.
 
When I have my door open and the car started, there is a beep. You would think perhaps if the bucket was up they could have it beep since it is clear from the number of examples that dump truck drivers seem to be a couple bricks short of a load.

This.

Enough power lines and bridges get hit that you’d think they would add some safety device.
