kid survives 2 hour plane ride to moscow....while hanging on to the airplane wing
 

RIA Novosti - Russia - Boy survives two-hour flight to Moscow hanging onto plane wing


holy **** :bowdown:

That's ****ing insane, that kid is on roids or something.

Do you really trust Russian news?

I know some russkies are skint, but that takes hitch hiking to the extreme. All bullshít I imagine. At those speeds the force would just knock you off surely?

^ Something to suggest mythbusters to try out?

from an engineering perspective.... thats complete bull****. beyond getting frostbite within about 5 minutes, there is no way he could withstand the force of the wind. you realize that that wind is LIFTING a giant plane made of steel into the air. stick your head out the window going 80 miles an hour and tell me that you could withstand 6 times that force.

I'm submitting this to Snopes.

not even worth it, the wind chill in such altitude would kill you.

Yeah seriously, i'm amazed anyone believed this.

^Odder things have happened before I suppose.

It's a story I'd like to believe.

I smell something beginning with a b.

ullsh|t

Yeah odder, but this is actually impossible.

RIA Novosti - Russia - Boy who flew to Moscow in plane's wheel well faces amputation

update, now they're saying he was hanging on the "wheel" part or something,

but they are saying both hands will have to be amputated

the origin of the elbow-jerk is revealed!

kvlt

it looks like a legit site

It doesn't mean they're being given legit info, notice how the story has already changed.

^They got their info from a local newspaper "Russian newspaper Tvoi Den reported Wednesday," while I know some people get bored and do this, who would take to the time to make such a story?

Do you honestly think you can hold onto a plane for two hours going at the very least two hundred knots at 35,000 feet in the air?

Initial response is no, but I know that whenever I put my backpack in the bed of my truck that it only moves from it's starting position if I make a sharp turn, obviously the speeds are terribly different, but I'm not a physics god so I can't say with 100% certainty that it can't happen.

A truck and an airplane are two very different vehicles. A backpack and a human are two very different objects. Being in a truck bed and the wheel well of a wing are two very different places.

explain?

Well, one has wings, hxc engines and flies super fast. The other is driven by rednecks, NRA members, and the Dave.

I see, isn't including rednecks, NRA members and The Dave as subsets sort of redundant?

One and the same right?

I know that they are, I even said that they were, well, I said that the speeds are terribly different. I'm going to have ask someone about this.

And damnit, I can't help that I was born and raised in KY :). I get motion sickness in those tiny modern cars though, so I got a truck.

he's russian dude,

have you seen their boot camp training?

russian people are beasts

They're just saying this to cover up 9/11.

You are a GOOD poster!

Is this your first screen name here?

he was hardcore ghostriding

I once signed up here pretending to be a young woman. Didn't post much though, just talked through PMs. You must remember...;)

Well that's weird but okay.

I don't remember, I'm fairly new here, I ditched my Lost Forum when the show went off the air and have been talking music the last three months or so mostly when I am online.

Anyway, even though I think you are great misinformed about Led Zeppelin, I don't hold that against you and hope you would hold how wrong you feel I am against me either.

lost went off the air?

seriously?

Just until February, but that's like a nine month layoff.

You can only talk about semi-invisible Jacob and the mystery coffin guy for so long.

i quit after the polar bear, which was episode 3 i think?

They explained the polar bear thing recently. It's a great show if you are a fan of the classics and modern sci-fi type literature

^what happened with the polar bear?

You got about 6 hours?

no, 5 minutes actually

GOGOGO

Well... the Dharma Initiative came to Island circa 196something and set up several research laboratories and other ambiguous and seemingly nefarious projects on the main island and it's two like side Islands. After Horace and Olivia Goodspeed came across a couple that had given birth in the woods, the befriend said couple and after the wife had died (from childbirth) offered the father and his son (the birthed child) employment and residence on the Island working for Dharma.

The father whose name escapes me is played by Uncle Rico and he is an awful dad who neglects his son (Played by Michael Emerson as an adult) who befriends the strange seemingly ageless inhabitants of the Island that are feuding with Dharama and later kills his father and leads a violent purge of the Island, during said purge polar bears and other wildlife escape from cages on one of the off shoot islands and swim to the main Island looking for a plentiful food supply.

That's the short version.
