I didn't demand anything...I just reminded you what we were talking about....
Your continued responses were exactly as expected...i guess I was just hoping you'd realize that what you were posting had nothing to do with this and stop....I was wrong...I won't make that mistake again, I promise...
No - you didn't like my answer and you kept hounding me to change it. I'm just not as compliant as those to whom you're accustomed.
Yeah, if there can be a good side to the story at least they didn't suffer.
That's a big plus in aviation: high speed crashes are almost instant death, although it appears these four may have been dead befor impact due to oxygen starvation.
The Kobe Bryant crash was a high speed impact event...if counting anything over 100kts to be high speed. The S76 cruises up to 155kts, but was probably slightly slower in the 120-140 range.

Yes, it was a Cessna, but a Cessna Citation - a small jet engine-powered craft with a cruising altitude of up to 43,000 feet. You need a pressurized cabin to fly that high.

Yep, as I posted earlier the occupants likely asphyxiated prior to the jet running out of fuel and crashing - like what happened to Payne Stewart.
Just going to sleep. Back in the day when I was flying out of Miami, whenever the drunks got too rowdy, we'd bump the cabin altitude up to 7,000-8,000 feet and they'd all go to sleep.
This is a drone, but similar to helicopter flight: it's 9mb so slower wifis may take a bit to load.
A little smaller, a little faster:

No, it was a Cessna Citation business jet.
These are pressurized and almost always fly routes at 25,000 to 45,000 feet in altitude. They are pressurized because at those altitudes you die in minutes and pass out within seconds if the cabin depressurizes.

You are an evil little thing, a horrible person.
And not nearly as psychotic, drunk, and drugged-out as her JPP married (to someone else of course) boyfriend.
About the only good thing about this tragedy is that they probably didn't suffer, you think? Just fell asleep. Otherwise the pilot could have taken the plane down to an altitude where there was oxygen.
Just fell asleep. If the pilot had a medical issue, there one of the other passengers could have been seen in the cockpit since there's only a little curtain on bizjets.
I'm certain all were unconscious before the plane rolled and dove. One report said they were descending at 28,000 fpm, which is too fast for them to regain consciousness before impact. Even if they began to stir, the impact would have meant instant death.

Plus if they were aware of pilot problems, they would have had cell phones to at least alert someone.
...not that it would have done them much good.
I always have to shake my head when newscasters lament "no distress call was sent". Well no shit! The pilots were a little fucking busy! Part of Flying 101 is Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. A pilot in the middle of an emergency who hasn't set the plane up for flying and pointed in the right direction before calling on the radio is an idiot.

Althea told me...
Well...given the fact that they committed their entire real estate portfolio to a trust benefitting the NRA already, having nobody else to leave it to now won't sting so much.
He sure is...
