Discovery Channel 727 Crash
Video: Boeing 727 intentionally crashed in Mexican desert - USATODAY.com
Just wondering - ex-Champion bird??
I'm curious if it was one of the NWA birds I flew 10 years ago (sigh).
Anyone see an N number anywhere?

The network adds "an extensive environmental clean-up operation is being carried out by a reputable agency with the full co-operation of the Mexican authorities."

Phew... After all that talk about crashing an airplane and studying the effects and how to make crashes safer... I was, you know, worried they had forgotten to clean up the environment... [/QUOT
Lol, I know I will sleep better

Dang...if that's what happens to a brick like a 727...
Looked like the cockpit snapped off from the nose gear hitting the ground, I wonder if that was remotely survivable.
Nothing terribly relevant to say.
Post #3, gotta get to 5 so I can go back to lurking...jeez

Survivable if not in 1st Class!

Though the pilots could have survived this test crash, scientists found that flying in first class would have been fatal. Passengers in the middle of the cabin might have suffered concussions and broken ankles, while those in the rear could have walked away. Experts emphasize that the fatalistic view of many airline passengers -- the belief that if a plane crashes, you're unlikely to survive -- ignores data that show the great majority of people in such incidents actually live.
"The chances are that if you're in a crash, you will survive," says Tom Barth, an investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board who studied the crash's impact on occupants of the plane.
