So, you're on an airplane...

Ride everyone.

And have a smoke afterwards.

But my cousin Walter jerked off in public once. True story. He was on a plane to New Mexico when all of the sudden the hydraulics went. The plane started spinning around, going out of control, so he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other passengers take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the passengers are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of the sudden, snap! The hydraulics kick back in. The plane rights itself and it lands safely and everyone puts their pieces or, whatever, you know, away and deboard. No one mentions the phenomenon to anyone else.

Probably when Airplane was released.

And don't call me Shirley.

Oxygen masks are there for the illusion of safety. They get you high so you don't panic.

I'd start sucking the **** out of the goddamn oxygen mask.

The captain would never say that. Because in most cases he won't believe it anyway and will be fighting to save the plane right to the end. And if the plane is completely fcuked and plummeting out of control towards the ground the passengers don't need the captain to tell them it's game over.

No they aren't. Up at 30,000 feet with a loss of cabin pressure you'll lose consciousness pretty quickly without them, from hypoxia.

They keep you alive and conscious while the pilots descend to a much lower altitude where passengers can breathe normally.

welcome sunset-people, take the late-night-flight

Chuck Stone · 01-08-2012 02:08AM

20 mins over that particular area is more than enough to make a successful emergency landing at a well equipped airport.

Yours.

Go chill out in First Class.

We're always made walk through there before/after a long distance flight and I really want to see what it's like without being herded through to economy

Paddycrumlinman · 01-08-2012 02:38AM

At this point your time is more than likely up, spend the next 20 minutes taking care of folks in their last moments, no point in panicking, time is up just spend the time you have left doing good for others, not much more you can do. You may come across a nice looking chick and get one last ride, a good deed never goes undone and all that!

kizzabel · 01-08-2012 02:48AM

I would find the drugs mule and hope the journey to "I dont give a fook" only involves them vomiting.

JupiterKid · 01-08-2012 03:07AM

I would accept one of the cyanide pills being handed out by the stewardesses as people all around me are weeping and ****ting their pants.:(

patmustard2 · 01-08-2012 03:10AM

I think I should have a life jacket because I'm great, in fact I think I should get both life jackets in case one doesn't work

A few episodes of Fr. Ted solves all life's possible problems.:rolleyes:

Try googling Ráméis, rawmaysh, raumaish or rawmaish instead.

A polite translation would be "talking rubbish".

01-08-2012 08:14AM

Scream - why the fúck do they not have parachutes in this bleedin' thing!? I always said that... Followed by love making to the female cabin crew, cha ching

danniemcq · 01-08-2012 08:15AM

sit as far back in the plane that i could.

simple science and stats really the back of the plane gives you the best chance for survival.

that or try and get one of thise wee seats staff use that make you sit backwards.

and remember these days you won't have to remove your shoes before sliding down the slides!

Davidth88 · 01-08-2012 09:20AM

You know this actually did happen in Japan in 1985. A Boeing 747 lost it's tail and basically circled out of control until it hit a mountain.

They found many letters to peoples' families among the wreckage

What would I do...... get as hammered as possible .

Mint Sauce · 01-08-2012 09:30AM

The life of everyone on board depends upon just one thing: finding someone back there who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.

nbar12 · 01-08-2012 09:30AM

i'd take the biggest sh*t possible and put it on someone's head and call them a sh*thead until we are dead

Mr Benevolent · 01-08-2012 09:37AM

It depends on the damage. If it was very severe you'd be dead in 2 minutes, not 20. 20 minutes means that the aircraft is still relatively intact and can possibly be flown to a semicontrolled landing. An airport is right below you anyway. You'd be very surprised what punishment an airliner can take - they've been subjected to barrel rolls, high G loops and going supersonic and still survived, albeit badly damaged enough to be written off on arrival. Conversely, the can be brought down by a single missing screw.

...and you are enjoying your glass of prosecco at 35,000 feet and a view of Copenhagen and the Oresund below your window when suddenly, the airplane banks to the left and violent turbulence shakes the cabin around like a rag doll.

People are screaming and many are crying. After the worst of the turbulence is over, the captain comes on the intercom in a grave tone:

"ladies and gentlemen, we have lost almost all our power and part of the tail and rudder has sheared off. It would be grossly irresponsible of me to pretend that we aren't in a very grave situation. So grave in fact, that we are all going to probably be dead within about 20 minutes."

Decide whos important enough to take the parachutes

Dunno about that. IIRC the last airliner capable of rolling was the 707

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KNbKFMBsQE

(they call it a barrell(sic) roll, but it's not)

As for high G loops in an airliner? Nope. Well outside the flight envelope of modern airliners. Even that 707 roll was a 1 G maneuver. Going supersonic would be an issue too. Overspeed like that could cause serious damage, even structural failure.

Now I'm open to pilots calling me on this, but that would be my understanding anyway.
