NTSB Briefing, NTSB claiming .3 to .8 g wake encounter caused crash?!?!?!

This is Bull $h!t!!!

The NTSB is LYING like rugs!!!

NTSB dude just claimed that .3 to .8 g's encountered during the wake encounter caused the Airbus to break up in flight...

Even a male reported asked "is this even possible".

"Isn't this normal bumping encountered when flying?"

Even the media don't believe them!!!!!

[KQQL]

Cover Up again It doesn't matter who is in charge ( rats or the gop), the GOVT always lies.

[Milosevic2]

Yes it's as Bad. Remember McVeigh, totally innocent, victim of Clinton and Bush

[LarryLied]

That is not something that would have happened if it had been properly bolted down.

Almost certain I heard someone say the bolts connecting the body of the aircraft to the tail are fine. The break occurred above them.

As your sitting in your chair reading this, place your hands on your desk and push yourself to a standing position. This my friends is equivlent to 1.42 G's (centralized) of force transfereing from your palms to your desk. Lord help us if our planes can't handle a little push like that

[freddy]

Hey folks....

Your government at work...!!!

Accept it or DO something about it..!!!!

[classygreeneyedblonde]

what is a .3g wake?

[samuel_adams_us]

That is pretty scary! I am sure someone either unbolted that baby or broke some welds. Either that or a little explosive action did the deed. Screw the airline industry, public safety is more important!

[lugsoul]

Sorry, but every standard building code requires a safety factor of at least 1.7x required loading.

[Loopy]

60 Minutes? Yeah, I'll bet they'll get right on it.

I'm totally confused, not being an engineer. I'd like to hear what independent AEs (Right term?) have to say about this.

[Osinski]

What the hell is going on?

Now, what do you think with Thanksgiving travel just beginning?

[chemainus]

Any idiot can substitute judgement for the corrupt Clinton-appointed NTSB !!! No science there at all...just used car salesmen from little Rock ArrrKansas

[biblewonk]

Wouldn't you think turning the plane at 450mph would be about the same amount of force on the tail section if not more? Do we have an engineer out here who knows this answer?

Turning a plane at 450mph can cause 0 to infinite G's depending on the rate of change in direction.

[rwfromkansas]

Anybody here a pilot? I would like to know about this one.... Sounds suspicious.

[Blueflag]

He'll come running back onto the stage in just a moment to announce it was "three to eight G's, not .3 to .8!!! The French use commas for decimals. We screwed up!! The plane really WAS over-stressed!!!"

Sure ...

[Stevieboy]

Uh oh... sirens outside my window! Help me!

(false alarm... just the Boogeyman)

[Darth Reagan]

Accept it or DO something about it..!!!!

Maybe we could all enroll in an Aeronautical Engineering program, so that we might have some reasonable, educated basis for our conjecture
(though, I suspect that the government controls what we can and cannot learn in order to keep their NTSB cover-ups going).

[samuel_adams_us]

Being a software engineer I don't know the formulas but I sure wish I did now. Time to bug my father and older brothers who are retired USAF.

[Darth Reagan]

I am sure someone either unbolted that baby or broke some welds.

Now, this is something I have considered. Could some al-Qaeda operative work at the Airport? Maybe.

[CdMGuy]

If the NTSB is right, then why would anyone fly in a commercial jet again? And why haven't tails been falling off planes for all these years?
