Guest Wigg Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Watched the show today as I recorded it for John. A very interesting show & God how lucky was she to survive that. Next weeeks in on a chap in the desert also looks like it will be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeptic36 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 I thought the most amazing thing was that the wing reopened after it had collapsed.:ah_oh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davidh10 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I'd recommend watching it. I found it a bit slow, but very intersting from several points of view:- Amazing survival. Someone was looking after her. Human Factors. Despite realising the danger, two pilots pushed on because they didn't want to retire from the race. One died, the other was very lucky. The information retrieved from the GPS track was very interesting. The velocity of the updrafts and the altitude reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
