There are not 300 million airplanes in the sky... But U.S. airlines carried 704 million passengers in 2009: http://www.bts.gov/press_releases/20...bts029_10.html (And that was a down year.) Planes crash because....they run out of whatever keeps them up in the air... People crash out of bed because....they run out of safety blankets. You put a washing machine in the air...you better have enough quaters to keep it flying. That's probably why bricks plummet to the ground: no place to insert quarters. |

Standard ploy by the examiner when you are taking the flight test is to cut the throttle to idling (to simulate loss of engine) and to say "Emergency". The testee has to make a simulated emergency landing by quickly picking out a suitable place to set the plane down, perhaps a farm field or dirt road, and then land the plane. However, the landing is done in the air 500 feet above the potential landing site. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
