It's cold up there.
At 30,000 feet the outside air is minus 50 degrees.
Hopefully they passed out quickly and didn't know what happened.
It's really cold up there at high altitudes.
That's why there are ice caps on mountains even along the equator and the tropics.
Was this a 737, 727, or other?
Its very very cold up there. Upon decompression, a pilot is supposed to lower his altitude to where it is not so cold, but you know, that A/C system which is suppose to heat the air must have completely failed. This is weird. Perhaps the pilot and copilot were incapacitated before they could bring her down to a safe altitude... Hmmmmm, never mind, a REAL freeper pilot or person in the know is gonna have to chime in on this one!
And of course, this is all Bush's fault.
I saw it in "The X-Men" and in "The Day After Tomorrow" (the "science" in the latter was labeled "solid" by "President" Al Gore, so you know it's the schizzle.)
> Bodies frozen solid! How can this happen.
Based on the shortness of the flight (1 hr), I don't think
it can.
The report may be incorrect, or this may just be a
military spokesperson mistaking cold bodies in rigor
mortis for "frozen".
Even rigor is iffy, as that takes some time, too.
Let's not rule out intentional misinformation just yet.
Someone from Gitmo must have adjusted the thermostat.
Does anyone else find irony in people on a Helios Arways flight freezing to death?
I was wondering if the text message that a passenger sent to his cousin was translated incorrectly.
I guess not. He said something about "...We are frozen." It was literally true.
Oh those poor people! How awful!
A couple of quick questions ...
The plane was on auto pilot cruising at 10,000' or so it was reported initially. No super cold - no lack of oxygen at 10,000 - none of the interior windows were fogged/iced over
A cell phone call MINUTES before the crash has been "re-interpreted" from "I am frozen" (as in fear or other) to be "we are all freezing to death" - interesting change of wording to fit the required circumstance.
most of the reports by searchers were that only small pieces" of human flesh" wer found scatterred around rthe area --- now all bodies were frozen solid?
We will NEVER be told the truth on this "occurence"
We should also not forget the capture of alqaueda terrorist in Turkey (very near) that they were going to be taking over airliners and crashing them --- this has been interetingly suppressed. no?
The AC System actually pressurizes the aircraft.
-50F air being blown in for an hour....
"Bodies frozen solid! How can this happen. Any airplane folks out ther that can explain?"
The hull would have to be breached for the people to freeze solid. I just don't believe it.
Blame Mr. Freeze
The crew that found them, must have moved very quickly, if the bodies hadn'e even thawed out yet, even after a crash.
