    Do you want to say that the information presented is a fake? If not I don't get the point.

    P.S.: "LoL" is not an argument ;)

    Not necessarily fake...

    Just... blown outta proportion.

    Say, you can bolt a wheel onto a car's axel with 4 bolts, say some other company does it with 5 bolts. Why would you assume 5 bolts is safer? If 4 does the job perfectly well, and is proven to carry no more hazard than 5 bolts, why would you use 5 bolts?

    After reading that I will fly an A380 only with a high-alt pressurised gear on:

    http://www.eaawatch.net/CAT_CPCS_operation.html

    No redundancy at all, no mechanical protection from full open at cruise speed (normal valves possess aerodynamical "latch" and 3 [three] motors for redundancy). And pay attention: oxygen masks are useless at cruise altitudes of A380... And they use 4 valves instead of common 2 that are much more expesive. Chance of failure quadruplicates. Well that will be definitely a record: more than 800 dead in one accident...

    Lol- an airliner takes two to four minutes to fully decompress.
    If cabin pressure is lost (quite a common malfunction, happens not only when the valves are open but also when door sealing fails) the pilot has loads of time to lower the altitude. The only dangerous situation is the rapid decompression, when (due to a mechanical failure- usually material fatigue) a hole in the cabin allows the air to flow out rapidly. But that mostly happen s in 30-year old, poorly serviced, Boeings.

    Nope Garros- and you know that.
    But you're also aware, that I'm right in this topic :D
    Salute!

    @Gandhi
    Do you feel obsessed with my personality?
    You draw out one innocent joke from chatbuffer to proove, that I'm racist (which I'm not- btw)... and the joke (and the chatbuffer) is 2 years old.
    Then you post my frapper picture...
    And then you stick it (a lot of work) in an another picture...
    ...man, you're sick.

    Sorry, but that's still from the same site, which still has the same scientific credibility as before...

    That site reminds me of that documentary on the Apollo Landing...

    i dont know much about the topic, didn't read the links.
    <a edit=because i sometimes only type some of the words i meant to. maybe i'm getting anoxic>
    i do want to know why the A380 lacks thrust reversers on the outboard engines.

    [what the site probably says]

    Because it's a conspiracy by EASA and Airbus to lower the production costs for this flying ship. They don't care for safety, all they care about is profit.

    [/what the site probably says]

    BTW, you seen the interior on one of those things yet? And I do mean the first class bit etc ofc.

    If so... you'll realise cost nor effort has been spared to make this plane attractive. That site really looks like one of those "omg area51 conspiracy" sites :rolleyes:

    My fuckin 2 gHz laptop wieghs 77 kg. What the fuck gives?
    What I wouldn't give for a laptop that disobeys the laws of thefuntioghk pyshics nackblaek thingie you were talkin about.

    600 or so passengers seems an awful lot of human beings to be collected together and smashed all in the same basket.
    I wonder what's next, we gonna have some government funded rotten toothed limeys and puegot driving frog bastards tellin us they have built a plane that carries 10,000 passengers?

    This airbus thing is as exciting as a BRAND NEW PRODUCT!!!!!
    in a GROCERY STORE NEAR YOU!!!

    ON SALE!!!

    CHEAP!!!!
    A BARGAIN!!!

    What fucking ever. MacAirliners.

    To me the things are crowded, the air in them is so dry my nose feels like I am in a frosty desert [I don't like freezing in a desert, do you?]. They are crowded with too many potential tuberclulosis carriers and Viral Hepititus and other nasty stuff I don't want to catch from the vast majority of humans who, really, are fuckin pigs and would practice hygene unless you forced them to with guns.
    And the no smoking thing. Hmmm. Ya can't have a smoke there, it offend politically correct fresh air freaks. But it is perfectly okay to use the alcohol that is distributed in the cabin.
    Let me see if I have this correct:
    They stuff people into a tin can and give them a powerful depressant drug but do NOT let those people smoke cigarettes.

    Commuter jets, I dunno. But there is sure a huge difference between flying across this continent and taking a train. I prefer the train if I have the tiime. I always find the time when I travel. I guess if I travelled more, I would have to consider flying in those things more often than I do.

    because wall street over reacted to my comment about thrust reversers?
