The Cheap Seat!!

Postby Willit Run » Mon Jan 29, 2007 1:25 pm

I guess this is considered a cheap way to fly and I guess this guy didn't know that the landing gear wells aren't pressurized!! ::)

Immigrants will do almost anything these days...

... what a terrible world we live in, where people are willing to this sort of thing just to attempt a "new life".

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

 Well, if he didn't get crushed he would not have to worry about freezing to death because he probably slowly suffocated as the jet gained attitude and died of lack of oxygen before freezing!!


He probably would have lived his last few moments in quite a delirious or euphoric state, and as hypoxia caused him to lose conciousness, died without even knowing...

Funny thing hypoxia...

I didn't think it was possible, but apparently some people have survived this:

Ironic story, they also ("they"= some old women who wanted to enjoy their sunday) found frozen bodies in the forests under the final approach route of Frankfurt, Germany (EDDF).
