Epic fail

Reminds me of when I was flying into JFK once. We were coming into land and were a hundred feet or so from the runway when the engines bucked and screamed and roared throwing us all back into our seats with considerable G's.

The plane pitched up and climbed at an amazing rate. We levelled. Circled. The captain came over the PA. His voice noticeably shaky. I remember his words verbatim.

"Sorry about that ladies and gents. Traffic control at JFK screwed up a little and we almost landed on another plane. Hold tight and we'll try a second time".

almost identical happened to me at Luton - coming into land and we were feet from touch down before climbing really steeply again suddenly - at which point we heard the pilot over the tannoy 'sorry about that, I didn't like the look of that'...so of course we go around again and we're in a pattern...and I'm thinking 'didn't like the look of what exactly?'...everyone looks spooked....then the steward came over the PA 'sorry about that, there was a sudden micro storm/microburst on the runway'

Shit me right up

I flew from stansted to Poland last month and over germany we randomly nosedived for about 3 minutes. Absolutely terrifying and I'm a good flier. No explanation from anybody though.....damn ryanair.

You guys are all pussies. There's nothing scary about a go-around.

I like fly arounds and bad turbulence. The fact that your life is in someone else hands excites me. I've always wondered what it would feel like if a plane was going down. Sitting there knowing that in a few minutes you are probably going to die and can do nothing to stop it..

this is what goes through a tory's mind just before a fatal wanking accident.

During the few seconds of my car crash last winter (no-one was hurt). I went from having an intensely stressful feeling of resonsibility, as I fought to keep the car on the road. To a kind of resigned calmness, as the car flew up the snow bank and gained a surprising amount of air for an estate. I remember calmly thinking "oh, I wonder whats going to happen now".

I think if you have more then a few seconds to think about it, it might be a bit shit though.

The current Halifax adverts. MASSIVE FAIL.

Too right.
I cringe every time they come on the telly.

I mean, do they think we're actually going to warm to the androids they put on the screen?
They try to reach out to us with a fat ginger bloke pretending to be a DJ - how is that going to make me bank with them?

Who are they broadcasting to? Is it an internal station? In which case why are they advertising their own products to their own staff? And why are they interrupting such standards as 'Gold' and 'Ice Ice Baby'....?

...oh hang on, MASSIVE WIN!

DTI need to raid that fucker and take their transmitter.

EXACTLY what I've been shouting at the TV every time it comes on!

*he lived, that is win.

Sometimes i would like to carry this pic around and show it to people i see going through the middle of Large vehicles.

To be honest, I was an ace flyer before that, My sister worked for BA and during the 90's I lived in spain for a while, I flew very regularly, and was extremely blase about it.

That flight was 5 hours that are indelibly stamped on the fear circuits in my head, we dived at about 45 degrees to the 90...you could tell that the airsteward/esses were abso-fucking-lutely terrified to,

I left a hand shaped sweat print on my partners leg you could have drwan around with a marker pen. I have flown twice once since that day, and have turned down many opportunities not to fly, It was 10 years ago.

I have to say that moment of calm I think you are hyposthesising about...that woah...here we go, better hold on tight...is sort of there, though the sheer noise and vibration,..which is DEAFENING...and the VIBRATION almost make your teeth lose there fillings...

is sort of hard to ignore, is makes you stress..beyond belief.

I have raced cars a little and that point where you leave the track/road...and you have a bit of slow mo as everything starts to change shape and direction...doesn't really happen...
that time dilation only really happens when your body starts producing huge amounts of adrenalin to cope with the impending physical damage...

planes don't have that, as you cannt really relate to the ground as you can't see it properly, and as a car crash is over in 10 seconds max...

this plane thing was 5 hours...with a crash sequence that lasted maybe 2 minutes ...we divd toward the tarmac for an eternity as it started to shake it's self to pieces and as we pulled out of the dive the end of the plane at the nose was maybe moving up and down by a foot or more...we were sitting over the wengs and those airframes are flexible...

seeing that much movement and feeling it in time with the engine vibrations ...ahh,..I can't even put it to paper...mental..utterty mental.

I'm not trying to lay it on too thick, though yesterday even trying to cram the amount of stress into the lines available ...if I could have just typed AAHHHFUUUUUCCKKKKK...over and over again, it wouldn't even come close ;}

I get diazepam from the doctor before I fly, works wonders.
Dont think it would have done shit in that situation though.

Wingedangel, what caused the plane to dive so violently ? was it the storm ?

Magnet.

Magnet.

Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?

Hahha rofl.

There's a whole load of magic up in this bitch.

Shhh. Tynan will hear.
