I must admit I'm surprised you hadn't done those already!
So you could hit 17% or lower, then? Vazza will be impressed.
quite probably .

I was just reading a story that makes me realise how fucking soft society has become. Some train ran into the City Loop today with one set of doors open, and the passengers were "shaken" and described it as terrifying, blablabla. You soft fucks. How the hell would have these people coped some fifty years ago when the idea of doors on trams was foreign and trains routinely ran with open doors?
for real?
they should be thankful that the doors hadnt been straight out stolen !
Jen, my Internet's fucking slow and the Muse upload is only half done.
But at least it's 66.6MB.

Ironically Ax, I was about to make a similar point about planes!
Yahoo!
I never waited for it to load properly :shakesfistatsky: but it's about people panicking during a go-around, a fucking normal procedure.
OMG WE DIDN'T HIT THE GROUND FIRST TIME AROUND WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE
ahh dude- train - 1.5 meteres from ground, plane - HOW HIGH IS THAT ????????????????????
planes......
YOUR INTERNET'S FUCKING SLOW?
bummer , i do appreciate your efforts hon
I can't be bothered taking the week it'll take to quote you Ax, but those speeds are pretty good compared to my internets on a good day.
Damn you New Zealand!
Bah, that link of yours is video, Ian? My computer seems to not want to play it. What's so fucking scary about a go-around, though? As much as I'm going to mock the train wimps - if they had fallen out, the train would have been doing about 60km/h and they would've been in the City Loop, so there isn't much room and you'd pretty much be dead. Whereas on a go-around, it's not as if the plane's doing fucking barrel-rolls with its doors open.
Got to admit, that was funnier before it was blindingly obvious that it's an alter doing a wind-up job. The thought that somebody would make those posts in full sincerity ...
Oh, the train thing is a bit scary considering potential consequences.
I think people are scared about basic plane stuff because they go into the sky. It's voodoo, I'm sure.
That would be great.
It could be Rob with a new account. Have we seen him lately?
Yeah, he's been in the "Larry finished his parts?" thread on WTAHNN, which is worth a read.
Yeah, potential consequences that will only happen if you're a moron and don't understand the concept of a handhold. Back before people became scared of everything, it was not unusual for trams to run with people hanging onto the outside. In Dunedin, their cable cars would run with people two or even three deep hanging onto the outside of the tram at peak. I have video of it! People just hung on and enjoyed the breeze. I can't believe this was actually news.
I suppose the one thing about planes - and the reason why I feel safer on trains - is that if a plane does crash, chances are pretty high that everybody on board is going to perish in a very unpleasant way. I figure that if I'm in a train crash, my chances are extremely good of surviving, but if I'm in a plane that goes down, I'm fucked.
