How is that possible?

That surface cant support the weight of a baby nau oga take am easy, some us fly too na.

No one is saying you're not flying everyday, changing of diaper on that table doesn't mean the baby wil be placed on it. It can't hold the weight of a baby agreed, some mum can remove the diaper and place it on the table for some minutes before taking it off.

Somebody Has Probably Changed a Diaper On Your Tray Table.
Why bother going to the bathroom to remove your child's sodden diaper when you could loose it on a small table that most people eat their food on?

They Don’t Technically Need the Pilots.

Airplane technology is so advanced that planes could literally fly themselves. Even though a computer-generated landing would result in a much softer and precise return to earth, airlines continue to allow the pilots the control just to make them feel important and for other reasonsI’m sure. Not sure which is scarier being in the hands of a human who could potentially fall asleep, or being in the hands of a computer that does everything perfectly.

Awesome..I think one of the resons for these is because humans can't commit the safety of their lives to machines yet...

Pilots are often tired.

Reports say that pilots often sleep in the cockpit due to their high risk working hours.

oga go and read his post very well. you don't necessarily have to place a baby on the table before u change the diaper.. the basic thing there is placing the used diaper on the table while trying to change it.

sile12 major point is the transfer of germs from this single action..and d next thing you're telling us ur flying history haba tongue

At what altitude will your blood boil?



If one keyed into this school of thought one'd avoid ice cream machines. Those things are filty AF, and very difficult to clean properly. So many people eat poison daily without even knowing it. And that's why it pays to have a strong immune system. Avoid misuse of anti-biotics, peeps.

Ahaaaa
No wonder sometimes you start shìtting liquid shìt after taking ice creams
babes take note
thanks bro

Well from what I learnt on discovery channel, auto pilots may not always be a safe bet for landing
a little malfunction in say the reading of the height, can cause cause a major crash so they advise pilots to take the controls when landing
also a pilot confirmed that despite the efficiency of the auto pilot, on many flights, things go wrong that requires them to take control

An aircraft can actually perform a barrel roll, and a belly up quickly at sustained pull of 1G as long as the aeroplane frame can support the sudden loads, jet fuel, engine oil and battery stays intact.
In fact, some crazy pilots in some big planes have done some crazy stuffs.
A Boeing test pilot did a barrel roll in a Boeing 707, in fact captain Tex did a barrel roll twice!
A 737 can do such thing too.

the point op is making is d transfer of germs..which is that you are most likely eating on the same table where a used diaper was placed. you can change a baby's diaper right from d comfort of ur seat without putting d baby on the table.

infact please point it out and highlight to me where he specifically mentioned placing a baby on the table..maybe I prolly missed that part. undecided

since you are not new to flying and you know that the tray table cannot hold the weight of a baby why u still arguing? I mean..sense should tell u that d statement loosing it on a table should simply mean d diaper on d table..not baby on d table..hian!

If a plane is being hijacked when the pilot lands they will leave the wing flaps up that slow the plane down, this is to signal the airport that there is something happening in the plane.
bt in movie u dnt see such..INTERESTING
Re: Some Facts You Dont Know About Flying. by Nobody: 1:33am On Sep 15, 2015
The seatbelt sign is worth obeying.

Due to the rise of clear air turbulence, the only sure-fire way of preventing turbulence-related injuries is to keep your seatbelt fastened whenever the sign is illuminated. Simple but effective.

Re: Some Facts You Dont Know About Flying. by Nobody: 1:43am On Sep 15, 2015
Lap children are the most vulnerable to turbulence-related injuries: violent motion could make the kid fly out of your arms. In fact, an infant girl on the latest United flight was dislodged from her parent’s lap by the violent shaking of the aircraft and landed on another passenger several rows away (the baby was surprisingly unharmed). The National Transportation Safety Board has long called for requirements that infants be strapped into an airline-approved car seat.

Just because you're flying with a big airline doesn't mean the pilots are experienced.
