Re: Boeing 737 HELIOS Crash Scene in Greece
I always wonder about the ordinary jagoffs living near a crash site. Imagine seeing or hearing that a plane's gone down on your property or whatever, and despite knowing how unlikely it is that anyone's alive, you rush down to help. Then you, ordinary, untrained you, are suddenly surrounded by broken, twisted bodies; burnt bodies; bodies that look asleep except for a caved in head; clothed or naked, and the ground's littered with the contents of their baggage everywhere. The ones with anything resembling a face left would have the same strained expression that you see in pictures like this. Read about an old...Dutch? I think? Couple who ran a school upon whose grounds a plane full of children crashed. They were still just broken up about it years later. Like, we choose to be here and engage our morbid curiosity or whatever, and most of us have probably been looking at this shit since bbs days or the days of underground gore-o-rama magazines. It's kinda devastating to imagine a normal well-adjusted person rushing into a situation like this just in case someone can be saved, then they're exposed to some of the worst, most confusing and unpredictable ways a human body can be rendered into a Junji Ito monster. Feels bad, man. |

Re: Boeing 737 HELIOS Crash Scene in Greece
Since there were problems with air pressure in the cabin, I hope these people were mostly unconscious when they hit.

Re: Boeing 737 HELIOS Crash Scene in Greece
Bah, the narrative was awesome! Based on the narrative, that crash was 100% preventable by competent pilots. Maintenance goofs occur and not all instrumentation systems are perfect - that is human nature. There are a number of basic actions those pilots should have done to ensure a safe landing, mainly recognizing the life safety threat of pressure loss keeping the plane at a safe altitude. Ignoring the pressure alarms and deployments was inexcusable. To anybody with 737 control knowledge, isn't there a cabin pressure reading that the pilots can display to confirm the pressure when the alarms start firing? I would think that would be a mandatory display feature in all planes. |
