bettercreature: No sir, there are NO parachutes under the passenger seats in any commercial airliner. You are referring to LIFE JACKETS, which are there to be used in the event that the aircraft makes a crash landing in water. That said, some variants of the Airbus series do have an escape hatch located under the the fuselage, that is accessible by the crew, which COULD be made available to passengers, in an emergency, IF they brought their own parachutes. Still, the logistics of cramming hundreds of people out one small exit, would be a nightmare, to put it mildly. 6 Likes |

bettercreature:very funny but ask yourself where you want to jump to? Into the Atlantic Ocean or a desert 100s of miles away from civilization? Bru just have faith, what will be will surely be, may we not be at the right one on the wrong schedule 11 Likes |

Abudu2000: I will only jump if I am DIRECTLY over beautiful Ajegunle-by-th'-Sea, my spiritual home, where I will be accorded a hero's welcome as my parachute flutters down to the ground. |

Tundexxy:This is what I think will happen in such scenario. A premium fee will have to be paid for those that will stay close to the roof of the plane. Just like we have in First class, Business and economy class. Something has to give... |

SIRTee15:Your education in africa is too shitty. Most of these designs came from MIT and caltech. Your best minds are in america. Stanford just picked up its own share of Nigeria best minds through the Knight-mckinssey scholarships this year and other american schools have done the same. These initiatives are supoorted by the US government. America absorbs the best minds all over the world to sustain an IQ superiority. You cannot catch up. If you want to ever dream of catching up, them those minds have to start coming home to contribute maximally just like they did in america. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Jakumo:It is just not feasible. The pressure equalization would kill them when they start banging their heads against the walls of the plane due to the massive speed of descent. They are civilians too. Not trained for such drastic maneuvers. 4 Likes |

It seems Boeing isn't following the industry trend. Have they forgotten about Airbus 308 so soon? Airlines will chicken out on this aircraft after a while. Size does not impress anyone these days 1 Like |

RTSC: After an emergency descent to below ten thousand feet has been completed, and the flaps used to maintain lift after slowing the aircraft down to an airspeed of less than 200 knots, it is possible for a parachute jumper to make a safe exit and descent to land. Look at youtube videos of Airbus test pilots conducting flight performance evaluations on newly designed aircraft. All of them are wearing parachutes, and they are trained to slow the plane down, engage the auto-pilot whilst incrementally extending flaps for stability, before depressurizing the cabin to open the hatch, and then finally bailing out into free-fall, in the event of an in-flight emergency that cannot be rectified, and that has doomed the aircraft to crash. I do happen to agree with you that an untrained civilian can NEVER survive a solo parachute jump, under normal circumstances, talk less of in an emergency situation. 2 Likes 1 Share |

1st it's a commercial airline with nothing less than 100 people aboard, some first time flier, using a parachute isn't something you learn in 10 minutes, you have to consider altitude, right timing, wind speed, you need gears, oxygen if the need be, some face mask and all 2nd - the time it takes for the plane to attain terminal velocity before crashing is very small less than 6 minutes due to mass and gravity pull, so before you open door, and they start jumping out omo even worse 3rd - pressure equation you can't just open doors in a plane, pressure suction can happen and everyone gets sucked out 4th - it's a commercial airline, they aren't built for jumping off, if you jump any how, the twin jets can suck the person. Even worse 5th - Nigerians would thiff parachute and start selling. Bottom line just leave the parachutes to the fighter jets because saying why commercial airlines don't have parachutes is like asking why submarines don't carry oxygen masks for everyone aboard.
