  1. Because even with a double engine failure, he could have landed with flaps, spoilers and landing gear. Even with 2 engines gone, they still have nitrogen accumulator backups that pressurize the hydraulics. Plus some of the flight surfaces also have electric power backup. On the Hudson, Sully had hydraulics. His only concern was air speed and lack of it. The recent Russian airliner that landed in a corn field after both engines were hit by birds, also had full hydraulics.
  2. The other engine was fine. It can even be heard running in the video. Every 6 months, pilots are proficiency checked for landing and taking off with one engine. There is no grand electrical failure that disables everything. And the pilots were still hand flying the aircraft when they landed. They were straight inline with the runway and leveled it off properly
  3. The hydraulics is 3 times redundant on these aircraft before it even gets to the RAT. They did not lose hydraulics. The flight surfaces were still working. Hence how they lined it up with the runway and leveled it off properly for the belly landing. They lost one engine from a bird strike. Airliners can take off and land with one engine. And it is practiced all the time.
  4. ???? If they landed on the runway in the correct spot, or even half way, the aircraft would have enough distance to lose its momentum and come to a stop. The throttle was not stuck open. Just the resistance from the belly and the air will bring it to a stop.
  5. This is also what I think and what most pilots think but just don't want to say outright. The pilots panic landed the aircraft without giving themselves time to go through even one checklist. Just abhorrent airmanship and CRM. It wasn't the belly landing that killed anyone. It was landing at the last 3rd of the runway, not giving themselves enough distance to slow down. The berm at the end of the runway is also a scandal. They make ILS antenna systems weak at the base so that aircraft can plow through them. But this one was too low so they built up the ground and even poured concrete onto it. They could have built it up with the same framing that the ILS antenna's are made of. And the craft would have hit it without destroying the hull. Yes, there is also a concrete parameter wall around the airport. But even those aren't that strong and can be punched through
  6. If this isn't sarcasm, its one of the dumbest things written on these boards. The dating scene is an unmitigated disaster in the west. The whole bar scene is dead. It all stems from the #metoo movement and all the trouble men can find themselves in when they are around women consuming alcohol. The entire bar and nightclub scene in the west has been going bankrupt as a sector for the last 5 years.
  7. Pattaya is the Bahamas compared to its equivalent in the Philippines
  8. That is just what they found in her system. Most of the other drugs could have been residue from the past. I was friends with a guy who was into this. Someone who's sourcing cocaine in Thailand is deep into the drug scene and is more than likely taking a half dozen different drugs at any given time. People who are into stimulants also like Benzos for sleeping. They go hand in hand
  9. A supply in an area usually starts to develop a reputation, if its the same seller who's getting it from the same place. Sometimes a supply can last for years. People slowly figure it out after trying it in small amounts. But then the cops bust a smuggling ring or a shipment and all of the intel and consistency of said supply is suddenly lost. Then a new supply shows up. Some people probably don't even know that its no longer the same thing. And then this happens. Basically all misery associated with drugs can be traced back to the prohibition laws that the good ol US of A spread around the world.
  10. She was 36. And still traveling around SE Asia like she's 21
  11. That's a dated urban myth. The street runoff in any seaside city only has one place to go. Street runoff is not sewage. And how many times has the beach been shut down for ecoli ? Plenty of beaches in Australia and around the world get shut down for ecoli
  12. Brutal. He laid on those tracks motionless even as he could hear the train approaching.
  13. Pattaya has been getting the same old criticism from the same group of people for 20 years. And yet it keeps growing and getting better.
  14. Evidently Pattaya is doing something right considering how popular it is. Yet it is the butt end of jokes on here endlessly
  15. Someone is triggered. Hmm I wonder why....."lol" And not only that, the premise I set out in my post is simply true. Foreigners snared in sex industry crack down as Thai police promise that wrong doers will be detected https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2018/06/18/thai-sex-industry-human-trafficking-in-thailand-online-western-men-thai-police/
  16. Here's the story Richard He later said he started to remove them himself and then they assaulted him. Maybe he was within his rights to start moving them. But it was an escalation that I would have avoided until the cops arrived or something
  17. No. They went insanely overboard. But it just puts home the point even more that you should never start or continue with an escalation. Even the previous poster who said he started moving the barriers around his car himself. I wouldn't do that it a foreign country. It is an escalation. Just try and negotiate.
  18. We were all young once. Just speaking for myself , if an adult was kicking us out of somewhere whether it was drinking or quadding , if they were decent about it , we never gave them trouble back. But if they were a complete prick , it was different. Don't be a complete prick. It's not worth it.
  19. The Swiss guy more than likely shooed them off like stray dogs. Instead of just being civilized. Some people take being insulted seriously. Especially in other cultures. You insult someone , they will beat the sh** out of you
  20. Ah yes. Were they supposed to challenge him one on one to a fight and hand him a pair of boxing gloves ? What world do you ppl live in ? The Swiss guy probably insulted them and showed them zero respect. The concept on honour really seems lost on westerners. Big talk, no substance. Well some people aren't just talk.
  21. Ah yes. Because rural youth in other countries will just say have a good day sir after someone yells and sneers at them. Why do you associate with this uncivilized country ? Why do you have anything to do with it ?
  22. 40-50 year old freelancers ? Id be all over them if i was 80
