Ever Been Aboard A Plane That Seems To Crash??? Share Your Experience. by Slizbeat(m): 4:37pm On Jul 07, 2012 |
In the month of july 2009, i was aboard an Egyptair flight from Nigeria to the UAE. I was a first timer then but fear gripted the whole passenger when it was announced that the plane was loosing height after barely 3hrs+ on air(those of you who knows the time of flight to the UAE is 6hrs plus 3hrs for GMT=9hrs in all) due to some indications that air was entering the plane due to maybe a place unclosed. Behold it was true, the emergency exit was kicked open by a guy who the crew members and Air marshal suspected to be have swallowed some raps of drugs and maybe a rap had opened in his stomach making him to react. Mehn it wasnt easy for me as i started thinking East and west like 1. Ma grandpapa, neither ma own papa die for crash. 2. I never marry talkless of to born as God say make we come world come multiply. 3. Na ma 1st time, why i go just die like that? 4. After all the school wey i don go as at then, so na like that i go just die? e.t.c Thank God the crew members used pilows to cover the exit and we managed to land safely at Egypt where we stayed a day before furthering our journey, though the guy was arrested on landing and taken to the Nigerian Embassey for further processes. A lady couldnt even walk after landing so she was brought down with a wheelchair. But i no go lie, egyptians treat us well o0, mehn see dinner na, 9ja no dey carry last na. The kind tin wey me chop eh, Share ur experience nlanders as una travel pass. |

Mehn it wasnt easy for me as i started thinking East and west like The story is questionable: You can't kick open an emergency door, there is a mechanism that places it in the lock position, and it needs to be properly operated to open it. The plane would not loose altitude if a cabin door is opened, what would have happened is, the plane would loss its cabin pressure and that would trigger the release of emergency oxygen masks And because the oxygen mask can only sustain for 20 minutes, the pilots would have to descend to lower altitude where the air is thicker with richer oxygen Yet, this incident (as frightening as it might seem) is definitely not enough to bring down a plane, and if all of the things that i mentioned wasn't observed, then, the story is exaggerated |

;Dmaybe the guy tht kicked the exit was sleepwalking and he thought the plane had landed .or maybe he just got tired of flying and wanted to go back home .hahahaha |

I agree with @Vicjustice its impossible to kick open the door of a plane because the air pressure seals it shut, it could only be opened when the plane lands. Also, even if there was rapid decompression it wouldn't make the plane plummet ( lose altitude) , though it could make the ride uncomfortable |

i remember a story too , i was on a flight to India but i dot know our pilot missed his way and landed us in Bangladesh. he said he missed a turning , poor chap |

@onatisi loool, he missed his way. How did that happen?? A trained pilot missing his way? What happened to the radar, air traffic control, auto pilot, glide slope? |
