On another thread someone pointed out that ABC radio wondered why they didn't parachute out -- 200,000+ parachuting out!

Without a pressure suit and whole heck of a lot of oxygen? At mach 18? HALO jumps aren't even ANYWHERE CLOSE that high or fast and they require oxygen and extra protection.

This is all driving me nuts. We're not talking about firing up the old 747 and taking it out for a spin.

I started yelling at my TV at a little after 6:00 this morning because of dumb questions and scenarios. No one is researching a thing.

The comments I have read on here are beyond my comprehension as well. And they keep coming back with the same questions or scenario.
