Oh! the humanity new media is at it again
« on: May 18, 2014, 06:37:09 PM »
Couldn't help but chuckle  ;D reading the news about the near miss over the Pacific.  Glaring headline:
"Jet dropped 600 feet in 1 minute"  :-X
breaking out my handy dandy main frame computing device I have to sympathize with those poor passengers who experienced a descent rate of 10'/sec.  ;) If they fell out of their seat the rate would be 32'/sec squared.  Don't ya just love these aviation experts who bring us the news every day!   :P

. . . who experienced a decent rate of 10'/sec.
If their descent was 14'/sec., it would have been exceptional!  ;)
