The vaults provide safe keeping for the gold reserves of the country and overseas central banks.

The prince toured the Bank of England to recognise and celebrate the central Bank's mission to promote the good of the people of the UK by maintaining monetary and financial stability.

The aim of the visit was, ostensibly, to 'recognise and celebrate the Bank's mission to promote the good of the people of the UK by maintaining monetary and financial stability'.

During his tour of the building Charles was given a private viewing of more than £100 billion worth of gold.

The underground vault at the bank contains around 400,000 gold bars, each weighing around 13kg and worth £366,501 at today's price.

Prince Charles is shown Bank of England's vaults where 400,000 gold bars worth £100BILLION are stored.

On a royal visit to the Bank of England today, Governor Mark Carney told the heir to throne as he sat down with a group of deputies in his historic office for a private briefing.


The prince's tour came at the personal invitation of Mr Carney, who visited him at Clarence House in February.

Prince Charles is shown around the gold vaults at the Bank of England.

The chambers hold around 400,000 bars of gold worth more than £100 billion.

This is the prince's first visit back to the bank since 2002.

Each gold bar weighs around 13kg and is worth £366,501 at today's price.

No part hates because passengers would need to be orderly and patient. If they can't do that under regular conditions how wold we expect them to do same in an emergency?
Exactly, there will be panic, rush and the plane wont be stable. Spinning, nose diving and like that.

Jumping is impossible.

The researchers blamed jealousy on dissatisfied confidantes taking out their own relationship problems on other couples.

'Results suggest that discussing romantic challenges with one's partner likely has a positive impact both immediately and over time.

''Many people actively involve their friends when faced with romantic problems by sharing these problems with them,' the report warned.

'This strategy is understandable, as overcoming romantic challenges begins with the ability to openly discuss problems.

However, avoiding these discussions of romantic issues with a partner is linked with lower perceptions of romantic closeness and poorer romantic well-being.

'The report said girlfriends who may have a negative attitude to their best friend's partner might be feeling jealous if they have problems too, wanting to share their own misery.

'Individuals experiencing romantic challenges who breakup may influence not only their friends but also their friends' friends as the propensity to end the relationship spreads.

'Turning to a best friend for advice, rather than a boyfriend may be an early warning sign that a relationship is heading for the rocks.

'Do young women turn to friends when their relationship is troubled or does turning to friends lead to relationship problems?

Romance › Relationship Issues: Women Confiding In Friends Are More Likely To Breakup. by Explorers(op):
Girlfriends are not as helpful as women may think when it comes to romance.

Women who pour their heart out to a friend are a third more likely to break up according to new research.


Girlfriends are a woman's worst enemy when it comes to romance.

Confiding in your best friend during a rough patch in a relationship is more likely to hinder than help.

Rather than be a shoulder-to-cry-on, members of the same sex can add to the problems with their meddling.

The report, lead author is family therapist Dr Jakob Jensen, of East Carolina University, said: 'Maintaining romantic relationships over time is a critical part of successful romantic encounters.

'Unfortunately, our findings suggest that turning away from the partner to a friend may only exacerbate relationship problems and contribute to romantic instability.

'Sharing of romantic problems within a social network appears to have the potential to negatively impact.

'Our findings clarify how adult females share their romantic challenges with partners and friends over time and the impact of doing so.'

Women are more likely to share the ups-and-downs of new relationships, confiding in their friends and shortcomings, the study said.

But it can have its drawbacks as friends may only see a friends's boyfriend in the negative.

For the two-year long study 67 women, in their 20s, were asked about their romantic relationships, problems within them, and who they choose to discuss them with their partner or the best friend.

They found that sharing concerns with a friend increased the odds of a break-up by 33 per cent.

But talking it out with a lover doubled the chances of them staying together.

'Frequent relationship work with partners was linked with greater romantic stability, whereas frequent relationship work with friends predicted instability,' the report said.

@Bolded, i beg to disagree bro, i think the best way to have enough for every passanger is to incorporate the parachutes into the seats, i mean it looks more like a bag/backsack and its not even as big as a camp bag, so i believe they should be able to fit it into the seats, i have the idea already grin
Even if it fits, most plane crashes occurs so sudden, like power or electrical failure. Situation like these will make the plane to lose stability, so there wont be time to move about 200 passengers or more to emergency exit(If they've all been trained to jump).

Note, there will be nursing mothers on board, crying kids, fathers, mothers, couples hugging each other, old men&women, disabled, sick people and so on.

For 30mins or more, crews will be struggling to fix the jump gears on the passengers and crash impact is less than 2mins.

Lol Explorer believe I wanted to ask you this same question today.. shocked

Was even thinking since they crash land, why dont planes have landing foam that will deploy once the pilot feels its necessary. To enable soft landing that won't cause the plane to break etc.
They re working towards no 7 now.

7. Whole Plane Parachutes May Save Lives In Future.



There is hope, however. Over the past few years, many small planes have been equipped with whole-plane parachutes that slow the craft’s descent.

As of late 2013, the largest planes equipped with these safety devices carry five people, but plans are in the works for putting them on larger crafts.

As one manufacturer said, “There is no doubt that big commercial airlines of the future will be equipped with some kind of parachute recovery system.”

6. Jetliners Cruise Very High and Very Fast.


At 35,000 feet (three times higher than a typical jump) every passenger would need high altitude equipment (HALO)that includes an oxygen tank, mask and regulator, flight suit, ballistic helmet and altimeter just to manage the thin air.

Or they could just pass out from hypoxia and wake up later, hopefully when the parachute automatically deployed at under 15,000 - 20,000 feet.

Of course, none of this would matter since the plane is moving so fast (600 mph), and it is so large, that many passengers would almost certainly smash into it and suffer debilitating if not fatal injuries.

Travel › Re: Why Dont Commercial Airplanes Have Parachutes For Passengers? by Explorers(op):
5. Parachuting Only Makes Sense if Something Happens in Mid-Flight.


The only feasible time for people to jump from the plane is while it’s cruising.

However, most fatal airline accidents occur on airplanes during takeoff and landing.

Consider that between 2003 and 2012,only 9% of all fatal accidents on commercial flights, seven total, occurred while the plane was cruising; moreover, at least one of those accidents happened as a result of wind shear or thunderstorm.

This is a situation where parachuting is extremely dangerous even if you’re an expert.

So even if parachuting were feasible from a jetliner, the conditions in which parachutes could theoretically save lives are almost never apparent in fatal commercial accidents.

But even if they were, it still wouldn’t be a good idea.

4. Every Man for Himself.


Unless passengers wanted to fly suited up and tethered for a static jump, parachuting from a commercial airplane will be an AFF jump; however, unlike the conditions that students get training and trained instructors to assist, commercial passengers will just have to learn as they go.

In addition, they will have to keep calm and proceed in an orderly fashion, which will require most to patiently wait their turn to exit.

This is not likely to happen.

3. There isn't a convenient way to jump out of typical airliners.


You would need to redesign aircraft with a special jumping exit(the rear).

Just jumping out of normal side-facing airplane doors or emergency hatches you would probably hit the wing, the engine, or the tail.

You would need to install a ramp on the rear of the cabin.

Travel › Re: Why Dont Commercial Airplanes Have Parachutes For Passengers? by Explorers(op): 6:00pm On Dec 07, 2016
2. Passengers are not trained to use them.


Without a minimum of training, most people would not even be able to strap the parachute on correctly, never mind open it and land safely.

Even on the ground and with plenty of time this is not easy.

In the confined space of an airliner and in a high-stress situation it would be even more difficult.

Travel › Why Dont Commercial Airplanes Have Parachutes For Passengers? by Explorers(op):
It is most unlikely that a parachute will be of use if a passenger plane crashes.

Even a plane load of active military parachutists takes several minutes of reasonably steady flight to exit.

Parachuting takes nerve, skill, and strength. One has to force oneself into a 150 mph slipstream, hold a posture that stops one tangling with the parachute as it opens, steer clear of one's fellows and land safely.

Think what the casualty list would be if a typical group of passengers were to attempt their first descents in an emergency.

The average man, woman or child in a Boeing would stand a better chance of survival riding the plane down.




Reasons.



1. Parachutes are bulky, heavy and expensive.


They would not even fit under your seat, they would occupy a lot of space and add a lot of weight.

They would also need regular inspection and repacking.

To provide several hundred per airplane would add significantly to costs, making flying much more expensive.
