Planes are just buses. The only difference is you normally only crash once!

Never worried about it

As the Muslims say

Inshallah

Edit: just boarding now. Hope to speak to you all laters :-0

Made it :-))

Actually you didn't mate - you crashed into the English Channel.

You are fated to spend the next 30 years atoning for your sins in purgatory.

i.e. the Transfer forum.

Yes, and with several thousand more nutcases as well.

so the chances are that all on board had no idea what was going on until it hit the ground, i do hope so.

i think people would have known full well what was going on certainly if it decompressed, if it didnt i'm sure the attempts of the pilot to gain control would have been felt throughout the aircraft along with unfamiliar engine noise, when your on final approach that slow decent with air brakes and ear popping is not alarming as you know your going to land, but it would certainly raise an eyebrow over the alps

Not if you're unconscious within 30 seconds.

more likely they were conscious, if the plane decompressed the masks drop out if they didnt they have air, conscious both ways

I'm not bothered about flying. Let's face it, falling from the sky at 400mph is scary, you know you're going to die. Once you crash, you won't feel a thing, dead an instant. I could think of many worse things to die.

I am ok with flying but constantly aware i am in a big tubular aluminium coffin.

Turbulence pisses me off, though. Had a few red wines on cream chinos that way.
If it is really bad i got and buy all the jack daniels and make myself pass out pissed.
It is usually transatlantic flights and the yanks are always 50/50 "he stinks of booze but seems aware and alert".

Do not ever try and have any form of convo with us immigrations haha, they are the most robotic weird people i have ever met.

You fly on planes where you have to buy your booze?

I was more concerned about wearing cream chinos...

And he thinks the yanks are weird.

If I came across a guy wearing cream chinos whilst searching for bodies I'd probably just ignore him tbh, birkenstock sandals and I'd probably slap him around the face with them.

They were probably conscious at the point of decompression but later they weren't. I think they commanded an emergency descent but somehow became incapacitated. It is the only thing that would explain apparent control over the aircraft at first but then a total lack of action such as an emergency call or obviously stopping the descent.

I'd get a boat back but I get sea sick. :-)
I'm not much of a traveller. I'm a very delicate man ha
