First time on a plane was when I was going to the UK expected so much but felt nothing, but of cos Landing is another story. All I was saying to myself was "na me be this"  lol was really feeling like I had been traveling all my life. Please do not ask me what happened the first time I entered an elevator I think I fainted, |

parislomo: lol Do not use it against me in the future, I was at the bus station on my first day, with luggage and stuffs and i was supposed to go like to the underground to get a cab, but to go down I needed to use the escalator, God knows that I looked for an alternative but I could not find anyone around, so I started to study the oyinbo people beleive me I studied them for more than 15mins after then I gathered the courage but my sister the moment i put one leg I fell flat on my face with my bags coming after me. Am so glad that I can laugh over this story now cos back the Ko funny rara'. |

After studying oyinbo people for over 15mins you still fell yakata! lwkmdddd. . . Good thing is you can recall it and have a good laugh. Are you a pro yet?? Cos I still get to recite my psalms anytime I have to go on it o! I can't explain what that thing does to my legs **and head** lol. . . Don't worry I won't use it against you remember I'd an embarassing experience too. Thanks for sharing |

@Olisa4all & The Amaka, Sorry 4 steppin aside 4 a long while. Quote from: Olisa4all on February 26, 2010, 11:51 AM
U re right The Amaka. It's the Ethopian Airlines crash. The pilot could not convince the hijackers that he had no enough fuel to fly to Australia (of all places)!! Midair, the plane suffered fuel starvation [dont mind me I use their language register now; I'm almost a pilot now, lol]. The pilot managed to ditch the plane on the ocean. Unfortunately some pple still died. Most of the pple that died failed to heed to AIR CREW WARNING "NEVER INFLATE YOUR LIFE JACKET INSIDE THE PLANE!!" Well, I have watched severel of the them. I cant really remember their names/titles, but I love these episodes of ACI 1. Mistaken Identity: Where the US Naval War Ship errorneously (mistakingly; hence the name mistaking Identity) shot down Iran Airlines, thinking it was an F15 war plane. That was at the heat of the gulf war. US refused to apologise, saying they took proper measure before firing. 2. KLM collision with another plane on the runway, which left several people dead. THe KLM pilot was impatient, and did not wait for final clearance before he took off, unfortunately there was another Jumbo plane taxiing on the runway. THe KLM was in a hurry apparently because his destination airport was about to close that night. He was rushing to beat the airport closing time but did he? 3. In this episode, Iraqi terrorists shot at a DHL cargo plane with an Rocket Propelled Granade (RPG), and injured the right (or was it left) wing. This affected the plane's hydraulic systems that control the aircraft. Yet, the pilot managed to land safely. 4. THe Fedex plane struggle where a depressed staff member of Fedex wanted to hijack the plane and commit suicide, using the plane. It was a terrible struggle b/c the man injured the 2 pilots & struck one of them unconscious. But they still managed to land the plane. 5. Kid in the cockpit: where a pilot brought his two teenage children into the cockpit and handed over the controls to them; unknowing to the pilot, the autopilot was disengaged by the boy and the plane crashed into the ocean, killing all on board 6. The volcanish ash episode; where the plane flew across a mountain that just witnessed a volcanic erruption. The volcanic ash block the engine power and the 4 engines went off. But luck smiled at them, that the engines started roaring back to life as the plane was to crash into the ocean. 7. The Hudson near-crash of January 2009, although this is not yet in ACI documentary. Maybe, I should invite the 2 of you to re-enact it. lol I have many, many others in my head. My good friends, I know you will have enjoyed this. But, let me not bore other pple. @Olisa4all I understnd u come 4rm a Pilot's family. Could u pls, assist me with the question I posed early? What is the takeoff angle of most airplanes? I do NOT mean the Climbing angle(s); I mean takeoff. I know it varies from plane to plane. Can i have the range? Honestly, I would have loved to be a pilot. I love airplanes. I sincerely do. In fact, Air Crash investigation documentaries have made me to be aware of what to do in case there is a mayday - GOD FORBID! |
| Re: Your First Day On A Plane by THEAMAKA(f): 1:35am On Mar 12, 2010 |
I've watched every episode that you just mentioned. and sadly, that is why most people died, they were panicking and didn't listen to this rules. poor people. that pilot on the ethiopian jet is a hero!!! |
| Re: Your First Day On A Plane by Olisa4all: 2:06am On Mar 12, 2010 |
^^watched every episode mentioned as well. .as4d angle . .i dnt kno d answer2dat but i'll ask tho. .&i'm not 4rm a family of pilots o,l0l. .amaka,u sed al d episodes r on youtube,right? |

| Re: Your First Day On A Plane by THEAMAKA(f): 5:07am On Mar 12, 2010 |
Olisa4all:lol guess what?!?!?!?!  within the last 10 minutes i just finished watching the abdulmuttallab "underwear bomber" special on "Discovery Channel" really sad to watch, and very interesting at the same time. just premiered today and i just so happen to catch it TV. the guy who played the bomber was a cutie! lol unlike mutallab. i don't know how soon they will post it on youtube, but im sure someone will within the next week, SO KEEP A LOOKOUT FOR IT! |

| Re: Your First Day On A Plane by THEAMAKA(f): 2:17pm On Mar 12, 2010 |
Olisa4all:I'm doing good. its a very interesting episode, kept me on the edge of my seat. its not an "Air Crash Investigation" but some special that i just happened to catch on. funny enough, i was searching the channels and "The Flight That Fought Back" was on. i thought to myself "OMG!!! let me watch this" so i did. and during the commercials the advertisement for "Underwear Bomber" said "coming up next!!" and i was like "Already?"lol so yeah, the findings of that case are very funny. |
| Re: Your First Day On A Plane by Olisa4all: 3:03pm On Mar 12, 2010 |
THE AMAKA:Underwear bomber,l0l . .now i'm laggin behind. .i'm sure dey'l show it again soon. .keep d updates comin tho. . |
