If someone with better html skills than mine could post the photos, I'd appreciate it.

The pictures are a bit uninteresting, all things considered.

I've seen more emotion and panic when its announced that it's 10:58 and in two minutes McDonalds will no longer serve food from the breakfast menu.

Thanks for posting this. I found the story moving and the pictures very interesting.

What People Look Like When Their Plane Is About to Crash

I’ve been on one flight in very bad weather where I really think all the passengers thought they were gonna die. Everyone was very subdued and quiet although the twin turbo-prop was getting tossed around like a plastic Wal-mart sack in a wind storm. No doubt many were saying their silent prayers as was I. What still mystifies me to this day is that the whole event took on a surreal almost slow motion feel to it as if I were observing the whole thing from a third person’s viewpoint. It was almost like my soul was observing the situation and getting ready to separate from my body as soon as the crash occurred. Thankfully, by the grace of God and the skills of our pilot we landed safely.

I saw similar when an engine blew on an A320 from BOS to ORD. The engine had a loud bang and then looked like a comet with a 25 ft tail of white sparks. Everyone remained calm. The pilot turned off the ground communications channel (ch 9 on United) to the cabin so we couldn’t listen. We still had one engine but Grand Rapids airport was shut down for us to land at. (Presumably much cheaper than shutting down O’Hare)

My greatest fear of flying is some little kid in the backwoods of Virginia shooting his bb-gun at a high flying airliner at 30,000 ft. that I am a passenger on and the BB hitting my window, breaking it and me getting sucked right out, only to have my right foot get wedged in the window frame thus allowing my body to be battered senseless against the fuselage due to the wind turbulence.....

That's why I always demand an aisle seat in a row that has a fat person sitting next to the window.

That's nothing.

How many of these incidents have we had with Airbus and how many with Boeing? I don’t recall Boeing planes losing any engines over the last couple of decades.
