Potomac Accident for OT Only
Once more with love and magenta:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1738446664.jpg The original thread is in PARF...use it if need be. Best. |
Are we giving odds on when this one goes to PARF as well? Asking for a friend.
|
Seahawk thanks for what you do . I just don't understand why folks can't keep comments in the proper lane . :confused:
|
I just want to know where the magenta goes!
|
75 and 67.5 are typical for most CMYK print jobs: (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black)

Edit.
Then you do it. |
I wish there was a single button to block everyone in PARF...or is there and I just haven't found it? I have been successful blocking most of them, but it took a while.

To answer your question. Sometimes I get up in a bad mood and, for the sake of my marriage, take it out on some borderline PARF comment here instead of my wife. Sending a thread to PARF may be embarrassing, but it’s cheaper than divorce. |
So, was the low survival rate due to crj being sliced up like ninja fruit or the water?

Friend told me the news said the initial impact was not survivable. |
The Blackhawk is almost as big a the CRJ. Huge impact given the masses and speeds, then a 400 ft fall into frigid water. Its not like the plane "flew" into the river-the impact broke it into several pieces in midair, then it fell. Imagine a 200-300 mph car crash, then you get dropped a couple hundred feet.

Here is a good NVG overview. Excellent links on the right side. Cross post from the Land on the Other Side of the Sunset.

Am I not correct in gathering from various sources that:
The airliner was where it was supposed to be? The helicopter was on an approved course but approximately 150 feet above the approved ceiling for the route it was flying? There was only one air traffic controller on duty in a shift that required two? Those points, if true would seem to be the immediate cause of this heartwrenching disaster. The FAA also claim they are behind in their hiring by some 3000 personnel. I can understand that. I sure as heck would not want the job. Best Les . |
I find it hard to fathom that VFR traffic is allowed to cross a final approach path at 200 feet when vertical separation there would be below the typical minimum required. Hmmm

^^ +1
I feel bad for the controller. He constantly asked if he saw the crj and kept getting lip service. Not telling the crj to fly around will haunt him for a long time. |
