    I take it that the fuel cutoffs are placed there very much by design; in the case of an engine malfunction the pilot's hand falls straight to what's likely the next crucial task (after closing the offending throttle).

    Red, it's not like that "point" of yours was ever at issue ... there was a distinction involved, but let it pass.
  13. Garfly
    Yes, and interestingly, Perdue (in the video) challenges the NTSB's accident analysis on that very distinction (regarding the Cessna crash) .

    Red, SP isn't kidding; his comment is a lot more specific than "Boeing QA" in general. The Plane That Crashed Yesterday Was the Same One a Dead Boeing Whistleblower Warned About GIZMODO.COM Critics of Boeing have long expressed criticisms of the 787 Dreamliner and the company's standards.

    Can't take a joke?
  20. Garfly
    Yes, in a way. But we're really only stating the bleedin' obvious ... (Or, as our danny_galaga offered on the subject ... ;- )

    That's the point. It's prevented from happening by nature knowing it takes all kinds to make a world.

    And if everyone in the tribe is the same, the tribe ends.
  23. Garfly
    I wouldn't have thought so. Nature knows it takes all kinds to make a world.

    These panning shots from the hill (posted on YouTube) show the scale of the event.

    Yes, but let's not forget the true sports people (the non-egomaniacs) who do the difficult for the personal challenge of it. We don't have to be grumpy about them all.
