Plane Passenger Accidentally Ejects Himself

Plane Passenger Accidentally Ejects Himself

I know what you’re thinking , “big deal, I eject myself all the time”, but you’re thinking of something different . You see, this guy accidentally ejected himself from a plane mid-flight. WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!! The South African air force has confirmed the incident that took place last Wednesday, when the passenger took off for a flight with an experienced pilot from South Africa’s Silver Falcons air display team. Investigators are assuming that the passenger tried to steady himself while the pilot was putting the Pilatus PC-7 Mk II through its paces by grabbing the eject lever. A retired SAAF instructor pilot said the passenger was extremely lucky to have survived the ejection with barely a scratch. He discounted the possibility that the seat fired of its own accord, as too many safety features were built into the system. “All it takes is for the firing handle [the rubbery black- and yellow-striped loop] to be pulled up about 2,5cm and you’re on your way out.” Haha, that’s awesome. I wonder what was going through the poor bastard’s head. I imagine something like, “HOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!”. Also, I would have done the same thing. How many people can say they’ve ejected from a plane before? And, more importantly, does it warrant a free drink at the bar? It does? Sweeeeeet. Because then I pulled the lever and was all like PSSSSSHOOOOOOW!! Bourbon please. Man accidentally ejects himself from plane [mail&guardian] Thanks to Russell, who once ejected himself from a Big Wheels trying to jump a recycling bin. And to Equalizer, who once ejected himself from bed and ran like hell after sleeping with a Wookie.

Stop Motion Video Of Super Hornet Jet Build

This is a stop motion video of a F/A-18 Super Hornet jet being built. And let me just say, wow, that thing must have over 100 different pieces. Making it nearly twice as complicated as the hardest LEGO set I’ve built.
