Must have been some kind buds in the sixties to make Bo Biden sound like a reasonable name. Of course, people call me Sioux. -- We are here and it is now.

...don't happen often at all, but providing they aren't caused by (or cause) some other catastrophic event which affects the aircraft's ability to fly, they are of little consequence. It's incidents such as Sioux City, where the fan disc exploded and damaged all the hydraulic systems that cause problems. Collisions at the speeds aircraft travel would not be survivable in a car either ;-) two fiestas hitting at a closing speed of 1000mph...

... would have made much, if any difference to the amount of fatalities. They don't just glide down from 35,000ft and hit the water or ground. I can think of exactly one. I can think of the Sioux City crash, but no others..

I can think of the Sioux City crash, but no others.. That wasn't a glide, the plane was under power the whole way down. Dammit, that't the only thing they had to control it. Well, yes, but that's the only one I can think of ...

... north Africa. The United States would not be without most of the rest of the world. There are no cross-cultural influences until the insularity of tribal life has broken down. With tribes, let's take the American Sioux. Their history, it is believed, began in Asian antiquity. By the middle of the 1800's they were a 'nation' and diverse in sub-groupings or tribes. The amount of change they had gone through, even on a ...

.... I can't find references, but if my memory serves me, the DC-10 has only triplicated hydraulics, whereas the 747 and Lockheed Tristar had quadruple hydraulics. Qaudruple hydraulics might have saved lives at Sioux City. I seem to remember there was an uncontained rear engine failure on a Tristar that breached three out of the four hydraulic systems. I think the absence of locks for the leading edge slats was also ...
