    Yeah, and the water was ice cold too. Very risky and could have ended in disaster, but kudos to him.


    Did you see the plane that had hydraulic issues and had no landing gear? Had to land on it's belly. When you consider the skill it takes to land a commercial jet under normal conditions, it's extraordinary to see them land a plane with no landing gear, severe crosswinds, single engine failure and in the case of the Hudson crash, a double engine failure.

    Nah, I didn't. That would be so scary to be in a plane during a problem with the plane, then having to land knowing that you could be lucky to be alive when you land.

    Did you see The World's Dangerous Runways? It was Channel 5 over a year ago, and it showed you some of the weirdest runways in the world - like one's that end in water, and one that had a road in the middle of it. It was surreal, but it was a great program.

    WTF.
  6. Gibraltar was the one with the road running across it. I'll look for a video, it was mental seeing the cars stop as this 757 went through.

    At St. Maarten, people stand by the fence when a plane takes off and get hit by the jet blast, some videos show people being blown across the beach
  7. Aaaahh why is it doubling my posts.
