Thailand. The hub of travel warnings.

Nobody got any more coconuts?

Would mangosteens suffice ?

Why do these idiots not keep that $hit to themselves. At least until their grandsons are old enough for pi$$ed-up grandpa to pull out his war chest.

This guy deserves the ' keys to the city'.

What's the moral of the story ? Stay out of Thai prisons at ALL cost. And .... Don't steal other people's $hit.

Get a real job like the rest of us.

I have heard of him. Quite well known on the tennis scene actually.

James Riley Blake^[1] (born December 28, 1979) is a former American professional tennis player. Blake is known for his speed and powerful, flat forehand. As of August 2013, Blake had amassed 24 career finals appearances (10–14 record), while his career-high singles ranking was World No. 4.

I heard on the news this morning that the bodies had some sort of injuries to them other that the normal burns from a fire. Maybe foul play ?

Big deal ! What about the hundreds of thousands of people that go missing every year around the world ?

Jutaporn must be disappointed he didn't get the jersey.

If this was Hollywood she would have had a car accident by now. She is nothing short of an empty vending machine.

Boko Haram need to be destroyed as vermin along with the likes of Somalia's Al Shabab. Hopefullly the locals will turn against these grubs and lynch the lot of them in the not too distant future.

It is their country. They are free to exercise whatever religion they want. However backwards it may seem to normal people. Well done to the Sultan and his subjects. Enjoy !

Coma.

Coma, how apt. You have to be in one to feel that a move taking the rights of individuals back to the 12th century is a positive step. Stoning for adultery, amputations for theft, flogging for not going to Friday prayer. Just the kind of example any right minded society wants to set eh? What next? A call for the return of the Spanish inquisition? A national "Hitler was misunderstood" day? Sheeeesh

Assuming your aren't from Brunei then it is none of your business.

Nice troll.

Nice

Your question was, when an airplane encounters all engines failure, does the plane start flipping and crash, or continue to fly while losing height? If it continues to fly, how long does it last and how safe it is to land the aircraft ?

As I have described earlier, the aircraft does not flip or crash. It continues to fly at an optimum gliding speed, a speed much lower than its cruising speed.

However, it may not be able to maintain its cruising altitude but continues to lose height at a rate of about 3500 to 4500 feet per minute. This will give an aircraft, cruising at 35,000 feet about 10 minutes to fly a distance of about 40 to 50 nautical miles. Remember, pilots have been trained to restart/relight the engines whenever they encounter total engine failures. If restarting the engines were unsuccessful, they would have no choice but to carry out a prepared forced landing - just like what the Canadian pilot did to the crippled Boeing 767.

What happens when all engines fail

At the rate of decent you mentioned. 3500 to 4500 feet per minute. How does that look when it comes into contact with the earth's surface ? Catastrophic ?

Sounds like a real Freedom Fighter Factory [ FFF ]. The Israelis should 'nip ' it in the bud before they start coming back to bite them.

According to the report prepared for the Governor of Oklahoma, this guy was a scum bag to the very end

Defiant Lockett Tasered hours before execution

And this is the guy next in line to the 'throne'. Have a read of the first 10 paragraphs WARNER v. STATE

http://law.justia.com/cases/oklahoma/court-of-appeals-criminal/2006/448151.html

These people are why there is a death penalty.

Good let him on bail, he is no different than the Protester leaders who are apprehended and release on bail. Just as long as you don't commit a crime under article 112. Then no bail at all.

There was a case last year where three police officers were found guilty of murdering a drug suspect in custody. They received the death penalty but are out on bail awaiting their appeal. So I can't see why bail isn't good for anybody and any crime. As long as you have the money spring yourself. This guy is no different. I hope he doesn't have another ' accident ' while he awaits trial.

So we're back on schedule ?

I presume the "static line" is the line fitted inside the aircraft that parachutists clip onto before jumping out.

Maybe the person who condemned the line in the first place should have taken a penknife to the line.

The 'static line cable' is the steal webbed cable inside the aircraft. The actual 'static line' is the yellow 2000 lb breaking strength line the jumper hooks on to the static line cable, which runs all the way down to the tie offs on the back of the pack tray.

As usual only half the story with regard to negligence. Both victims would have known in the first 3 to 4 seconds of free fall so why did they not deploy their reserve chutes. Lack of proper training and assesment at jump school.

Both victims died as a result of professional negligence on behalf of both the instructors and maintenance staff. Both groups are culpable. Not just the typical poort maintenance but also inadequate training.Furtheremore the Jumpmaster also has a responsibility to ensure that all equiptment relevant to deployment on the aircraft is fully functional, however this does not include the individual parachute static line draw cords.

Possibly the unfortunate cadets had only 3 to 4 seconds of total fall, let alone free fall.

Can't recall reading just how high the jump aircraft was when the cadets exited the plane.

From 1000 ft you have 8 seconds of free fall give or take. This jump I believe was from 1200 ft so some extra time there. Close to ten seconds would be more correct. Minus the last three seconds of which deploying the reserve is far too late. That gives you 7 seconds to react. And that is a hell of a lot of time to carry out the malfunction drill. Provided one possess the correct training.

I witnessed a young man on only his second jump. I was on the DZ and he had a total malfunction at 1000 ft [ We learnt later that his static line was severed by his shadow jumpers D bag during a sim doors exit.] This guy had it out with at least 500 ft to spare. Difference in quality of training, equipment and aptitude of participants I would say makes the difference.
