Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) As you can see It doesen't take a real long time for a airliner to flame up. But as soon as the crash trucks arrive and foam it down it goes out quick. They were real slow to respond, not accepible to american crash truck responce times. These guys suck! still can't put it out all the way. Well there goes 200 million the plane is a total loss.

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Well 2 minutes is really good responce time!. Even not real serious fire, they arrived in time to save it. But at 5 min like the outher vid is way to long a responce time. This was called in buy the tower. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9V6kX9MN0A&feature=related Edited July 31, 2010 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Well testing has proven that once a fire is out side a aircraft, it will only be 90 seconds untill it will be inside it. The alumnuim skinn of most modern air craft is only 5052 alloy and is not that thick. Of coarse alumnuim has a low melting point 745 degrees or so and fire is 1200 degrees so it doesen't take that long to melt thru. Ya I like how the passengers are slideing down the chutes with their luggage and papers and crap. But once a energency is declared,and the alarm sounds at the station the crash trucks have 20 seconds to start and roll out of the station, 3 minutes to arrive anywhere in the airport buy FAA standards. Im sorry I know alot of you fly alot and don't mean to scare you, but if you fly every day for 20 years you will be in a aircraft accdent of some sort.

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) But the facts are. 1 plane goes down somewhere in the world, every day, or involved in a accident, rather if you hear about it or not thats the facts. One plane a day. They got their stuff together in the UK as well, on scene and doing the job! Edited August 2, 2010 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) A cool vid showing fire trucks from all over the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK-LjHeS8OA&feature=player_embedded The pumps in these trucks can peel the shingles right off the roof of a house if close to one, It takes 300 shaft horsepower to run the pump alone. Most of these trucks have 1,000 hp engines, so plenty of power to spare. Edited August 27, 2010 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) Its still the safest form of travel they say Did you remember to tighten the cover screws? Well it was there when we took off. Ouch! Blow outs are a little meaner here. Edited December 29, 2010 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) This engine exploded in flight, BOOM! about took the aircraft with it. They are held on the plane with what they call fuse pins. If the engine comes apart in flight and shakes violently they are designed to break away saveing the plane,instead shaking the wing off, and there is a hole bunch of fuel right above where that engine was. I thought they said it was the safest means of travel. Edited December 31, 2010 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
