Travel / Re: Reason Commercial Airplanes Dont Have Parachutes Onboard For Passengers(Pics) by papaejima1: 10:12am On Mar 19, 2019 |
Originalsly: Parachutes can carry any human weight bro, fat, slim, adult or baby. I am yet to see any human weighing more than 300kg. Better a broken limb than dead. Remember that the device is automatic and does not need human input to activate and deploy, so if anyone can wear it and get off the plane, the system takes over and guarantees some chance of survival as against the other option of fields strewn with charred bodies and luggage. Much as this is a concept, more thought can be put into it to refine it. 1 Like |

Explorers:There's nothing too difficult implementing a parachute system within commercial airlines. All these excuses you hear are just what they are, excuses! And it all boils down to economy. Now let me explain. Every aircraft seat is already a flotation device in case of a crash into the sea. In the event of an emergency, oxygen masks automatically drop for passengers to use too. Now, to get this system to work, a parachute is installed at the bottom of the seat complete with altimeter, a beacon and barometer which automatically connect to a GPS satellite. The plane has a cargo hold which can be modified to act as a slide ramp or escape chute. When the emergency arises, the time passengers take to wear oxygen masks can also be used to strap on the extra shoulder harnesses that indirectly acts as seat belts. The floor is opened from within the craft to connect the cargo hold, and the external chute is opened. Each passenger slides into the hold and out the chute. The altimeter, barometer and beacon are automatically activated by the pilot from the cockpit before the evacuation. The parachute deploys automatically at the right altitude based on GPS readings. The passengers need not even know a thing about controlling it. They simply land safely, that's all that matters, then search and rescue home in on their beacons to locate them. Even if they fall into the sea, the flotation devise still keeps them afloat until rescue comes. This is just one scenario. I could give you more based on dedicated escape pods that can carry 10 persons apiece. The important thing isn't the cost, it is to save lives. The dead count no costs. Also, the argument about height/altitude is nonsense. Aircrafts don't crash at 30,000 feet! They crash on the ground! Every aircraft must fall to a safe altitude for people to jump out before getting to the ground no matter how high it flies. It is simple to offer it as an option, just like you do for first class and business class etc. Or A/C and Non A/C buses in road transport. Those who want can take such aircrafts, those who don't want can fly normal if they so desire. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / Ogundamisi's Time Magazine Interview by papaejima1: 12:08pm On Nov 14, 2018 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.time.com/time/europe/webonly/africa/2000/10/ogundamisi1.html TIME EUROPE Friday, October 27, 2000 Will Ethnic Violence Tear Nigeria Apart? An exclusive interview with Kayode Ogundamisi, national secretary of the Odua People's Congress Since President Olusegun Obasanjo came to power in May 1999 as the country's first democratically elected leader in more than 15 years, thousands have been killed in clashes between Nigeria's main ethnic groups. The problem has been exacerbated by the re-introduction of Islamic Shari'a law in the predominately Muslim north and calls by many groups for greater autonomy within the federation. Violence flared this month in the commercial capital Lagos, where more than 100 people were killed in clashes between Yoruba nationalists from the south and Hausa from the north. President Obasanjo says he is working to end the violence. He blames recent problems on the Odua People's Congress, a fast growing "cultural and social group" representing Yoruba interests. Police recently arrested the group's mild mannered leader Frederic Fasheun, a physician, and 41 other members, charging them with murder, illegal possession of arms, and arson. TIME's Nairobi bureau chief Simon Robinson talked with OPC national secretary Kayode Ogundamisi, who escaped police custody at Lagos airport before flying to the Kenyan capital via Ivory Coast. "People haven't heard our side of the story," says Ogundamisi. "They're just spreading rumors that we are a terrorist group and that we are just rag-tags in the streets." Excerpts: TIME: How did the latest violence begin? Ogundamisi: The state of insecurity in Lagos has become alarming. Armed robbers have taken over the state. The police are corrupt and inefficient. You call the police and they never turn up. So OPC members have formed vigilante groups. The landlords now have to rely on the OPC to protect them. But because of the viciousness of these robbers we see some vigilantes lynch them when they catch them. Because in most cases when they hand them over to the police, the police will give them the names of the vigilantes and the armed robbers will unleash terror on those vigilante groups. We now have cases where if you pick a Hausa man and you mete out the same thing you mete out to a Yoruba man, because of the ethnic problem on the ground, the Hausa community will see it as an attack on the entire race. This latest case was caused in that way. OPC cadres were on patrol [in a poor suburb of Lagos] and got a Hausa man with arms and ammunition. They took him to a Bale [a traditional leader] but the Hausa got angry and launched an attack. It was not just OPC then. It became Yoruba against Hausa. It went on for three days. I personally counted more than 150 bodies. It would have become more than what it was but we went around other zones and told the Yoruba not to get involved and calmed our own people down. But the government just announced that the OPC was the guilty party. And when they sent in the military, which is dominated by northerners, if you had tribal marks you were attacked and you started having extra-judicial killings. The government declared the OPC a violent organization so we went underground ... They arrested over 40 Yoruba but not one single Hausa. TIME: Where are the other OPC members? Ogundamisi: I took 150 with me to Benin where they are hiding out. The Nigerian government wants to get the leadership, the articulate ones, so they can paint who's left as hoodlums. TIME: What will you do when your Kenyan visa expires? Ogundamisi: I'm going to the Netherlands to hold a press conference on the same day Fasheun appears in court. We want to let the world know what the OPC is about. We want to save Nigeria from self-destruction. So if we do have to take any action, people will understand that, oh, these people have been pushed to the wall. TIME: Is the OPC finished as a force? Ogundamisi: The government thinks it has cut off the head of the OPC. But there's a new dimension to it: we have formed OPC International. We had a meeting at the University of Nairobi. Yoruba living in the Diaspora are advised to come together and take this on. Because if the world does not know what we actually stand for the government will paint us as killers. But the OPC is still very much on the ground. I'm keeping in touch with the cadres via e-mail. I'm telling them not to act now, just to keep a low profile. TIME: How many men have you trained to fight for the Yoruba cause? Ogundamisi: The OPC is nothing less than 4 million people. We have trained about 75,000 to resist state oppression. We could launch an attack but that should be the last option. We're getting towards that now, though. The government cannot continue to kill a race. In a situation whereby two people have a problem and you keep clamping on one race it becomes ethnic genocide. And we keep telling them, the cost of not having a sovereign conference, the cost of not sitting down to talk about this ethnic problem is more than the cost of doing it. Nigeria might just end up with what is happening in other African countries: chaos. You cannot suppress the will of the people. In order to sustain this democracy we have to solve this ethnic problem. Ethnic violence in Nigeria is a vicious cycle. It will keep coming up unless we stop it finally through a sovereign national conference. TIME: Is the introduction of Shari'a adding to the ethnic problem? Ogundamisi: That's why our people feel aggrieved. Almost all the northern states have introduced Shari'a against the constitution. The government did nothing. That's a form of self-determination. The people in the north say, 'We want to be an Islamic state,' and they have declared a law. And we in the south have not even got to that stage. We are only asking for dialogue. In order to please the north the government is clamping down on the southwest. The mistake we keep making in Africa is that if there's a small uprising the government says it's just some hoodlums. But we shouldn't underestimate the minority. Democracy is: the majority have their way but the minority would have their say. Investors are not coming in because it's still unstable. Forget what the government says, no one wants to invest when it's so unstable. TIME: Isn't Nigeria always just on the brink of chaos? Ogundamisi: Yes, but we shouldn't capitalize on the fact that it's always surviving the crisis. There might come a time when it will not survive. It kept surviving until Biafra [the 31-month civil war beginning in 1967], but when Biafra came it was disastrous. Now it has reached that peak. There are emotions all over. Even Yorubas who never supported the OPC are now supporting us. TIME: Do you think the country should split? Ogundamisi: No. We want restructuring. Evolve power from the people. The ethnic nationalities should have control over their resources. The Ijaws in the Niger Delta should have control over the oil and then pay tax to the federal government and then pay a percentage to the federal government, and not the federal government coming to take their oil and then giving them a stipend. Let the federal government become weak so that the President cannot just go to the central bank and take [money]. The people in the north don't do anything. There's arid land and all they do is become oil contractors and they don't produce oil. But if you restructure, people will be encouraged to go into agriculture. The north used to be one of the biggest producers of cotton in the world. Now the north does not do anything. Let us move this nation from that mediocre state. 1 Like |
