Ralph--a house dog User ID: 77023578 United States 10/11/2018 06:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just heard about a United 787 heading to Asia declaring an emergency near EDMONTON and has been diverted to CALGARY . Plane is presently circling just east of CALGARY ... Quoting: “Target Stop” TWEET says they have declared a MAYDAY...and emergency crews. Former AA flight sttendant (long ago) --- there is no worse feeling than looking out the window from your jump seat and watching the crash trucks speeding below on the runway anticipating your landing. All you can do is mentally review what you will need to do---Get the door open, pull open escape chute and start getting passengers out. Concentrate on your job and tell yourself you can be frightened and fall apart later. Sending prayers for all!

thinking...

Poor people on board must be freaking out. I hate flying. In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |

Quoting: JustTheFactsPlease They know exactly what the stall speed is that for that particular plane. But yes, they will want to land it just above stall speed. |
