What Happens When You Try To Open the Door Of an Aircraft @ 30000 Feet !!!

What happens when you flip out on a Boeing 737 and try to open the door at 30,000 feet? 

After dousing himself in bathroom water on his Southwest flight from Chicago to Sacramento, 23-year-old Joshua Carl Lee Suggs tried to find that out. When asked to take his seat, Suggs pushed past flight attendants and attempted to open the exit hatch because he “wanted to look out the window.” A couple of good Samaritans wrestled the suicidal half-wit into submission. 

Suggs is now safe in a Nebraska jail cell after the pilot emergency landed in Omaha to boot the addled hooligan. Since Suggs never got his question answered, we continued his search for enlightenment. So we asked the experts. 

Pilot and Vietnam War veteran Pete Jordan knows exactly what happens when a pressurized cabin decompresses 30,000 feet in the air at 300 to 600 mph: “There’s no oxygen, and it gets damn cold in a hurry.” An open door would release the cabin’s ball of pressure, causing an immediate “suction explosion.” 

Jordan’s plane was shot during ‘Nam. Although terrifying, small bullet holes at low speeds and altitude gave this veteran a very different chaos than what Suggs might have caused. 

In 1988, Aloha Airlines Flight 243 lost a section of its fuselage roof at 24,000 feet due to metal fatigue. It was an 18-year-old Boeing 737. Explosive decompression removed and killed one un-harnessed flight attendant and injured 65 strapped-in passengers. There have been no other instances of similar roof removal since that tragedy. 

Chief flight instructor at the US Aviation Academy David Cruz says there’s a good reason that you never hear about the hatch opening. 

“Commercial planes have been designed to prevent in-flight exits ever since [D.B. Cooper] robbed that flight in [1971],” says Cruz. 

D.B. Cooper’s famous sting operation was in a Boeing 727, which “had a stairwell that automatically lowered in the back.” Cooper grabbed around $200,000 in cash and jumped (likely to his death) out of the rear of the plane. Modern commercial aircrafts do not allow passengers to voluntarily exit in flight no matter how badly they want to die. 

Miles Kotay of Boeing’s Aviation Safety Communications confirms it. “It’s completely impossible to open the door of any modern Boeing in flight,” he says. “The doors are locked, which doesn’t even matter, because physics prevents it anyway.” 

Boeing’s inwardly opening doors have around 1,000 lbs of suction holding them shut. 

Sorry, Suggs. Looks like you’ll just have to “look out of the window” by… looking out the window.

A Clever Hunter @ Work !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

Clever Bird Hunts Intelligently!
Birds, except for Parrots and a few other, are not considered to be very clever compared to the rest of the animal kingdom, which is where we get the term ‘bird brain’. But in this video (We believe this is a Heron hunting for Brill), we see another side to this animal. The bird patiently and cleverly fishes, much like humans do, using a bait for the unsuspecting fish. It’s truly a pleasure seeing such a clever hunter at work!

Jokes for the Day…

A man was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, “You are beautiful.” Then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that, so she stayed by his side. A few minutes later, his eyes fluttered open and he said, “You are cute!” The wife was disappointed because instead of “beautiful,” it was now “cute.” She said, “What happened to ‘beautiful’?”

Her husband replied, “The drugs are wearing off!”
…………..

To tag birds migrating, the U.S. Department of the Interior used metal bands that bear the address of the Washington Biological Survey, abbreviated:
Wash. Biol. Surv.
Until the agency received the following letter from a camper:
Dear Sirs,
While camping last week I shot one of your birds. I think it was a crow. I followed the cooking instructions on the leg tag and I want to tell you it was horrible.
………………………

A patron at a restaurant was continually bothering the waiter about the air conditioning: first he would ask for the air conditioning to be turned up because it was too hot, then he would ask it be turned down because it was to cold, this went on for about a half an hour. To the surprise of the rest of the customers, the waiter was very patient, walking aback and forth and very pleasant. So finally a customer asked; why don’t you just throw out the pest? “Oh, I don’t care,” said the waiter with a grin, we don’t even have an air conditioner.”

” இந்த பிரசாதம் சுந்துவுக்கு …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

தன்னிடம் அளவு கடந்த பக்தி கொண்டவர்களுக்கு மஹான் தேவையான போது ஆசிகளையும் பிரசாதங்களையும் வழங்குவது வழக்கம்.

நான் சொல்லும் இந்த நிகழ்ச்சி திருச்சி சுந்தரேசனைப் பற்றியது. அவருக்கு மஹானிடம் இருந்த ஈடுபாடு கொஞ்ச நஞ்சமல்ல. எல்லாமே தமக்கு மஹான் தான் என்று மனதார நம்பிய பக்தர்களில் அவரும் ஒருவர். சுந்தரேசன் தனது ரயில்வே பணியில் இருந்து ஓய்வு பெற்ற பின்னர் சென்னை நங்கநல்லூரில் தன் மகன் வீட்டில் தங்கியிருந்தார். அப்போது அவருக்கு உடல்நிலை முற்றிலும் கெட்டுவிட படுத்த படுக்கையாக இருந்தார். இந்த நிலையில் காஞ்சி மஹானைப் பார்க்கப் போகவில்லையே என்கிற கவலை அவரை ஒரு பக்கம் வாட்டி எடுத்தது.

அந்த சமயம் மஹான் பிறந்த அனுஷ நட்சத்திரத்திற்கு மறுநாள் பெரியவா கிரஹ ராஜகோபாலும், பிரதோஷம் மாமாவின் நெருங்கிய சீடரான ஆடிட்டர் ரவியின் தந்தையும் அனுஷ பூஜை பிரசாதங்களை எடுத்துக் கொண்டு மஹானைப் பார்க்கப் போயிருந்தார்கள். மஹானிடம் பிரசாதத்தை சமர்ப்பித்த பிறகு, அங்கே வரும் பக்தர்களுக்கு வழி விட்டு ராஜகோபால் ஒரு பக்கமாகப் போய் அமர்ந்து தியானத்தில் ஆழ்ந்துவிட்டார்.

அந்த சமயத்தில் மஹான் அவரை அழைத்து, “இந்த பிரசாதத்தை கொண்டு போய் சுந்துவிடம் கொடு” என்று சொல்வது போன்ற நினைவு அவர் மனதில் ஓடியது.

திடீரென்று விழித்துப் பார்த்த அவர், தன் அருகில் யாரும் இல்லாததைக் கண்டு வியந்தார். தனக்கு மஹான் இட்ட உத்தரவு பிரமையா, மஹான் இட்ட கட்டளையா என்று தடுமாறிக் கொண்டு இருந்தபோது மஹான் அழைப்பதாக மடத்து ஊழியர் ராஜகோபாலை அழைத்தார்.

மஹானின் முன் பவ்யமாக அவர் நின்றபோது, மஹான் அவரிடம் பிரசாதத்தைக் கொடுத்து, “இதைக் கொண்டு போய் அவனண்டே உடனே கொடு” என்று மட்டும் சொன்னார். பொறிதட்டியது போல் ராஜகோபாலுக்கு உடனே அந்த சுந்து யார் என்று புரிந்து விட்டது. வேறு யார்? அவருடைய பெரியப்பாவும் மஹானின் தீவிர பக்தருமான சுந்தரேசன் தான்.

அவன் யார்? என்று சொல்லாமல், பிரசாதத்தைக் கொண்டு போய் கொடு என்றால் தியானத்தில் இருந்தபோது மஹான் சொன்னதும் உண்மையான கட்டளை தான்.
தன் மனதில் தோன்றியதற்கும் இப்போது மஹான் கட்டளை இடுவதற்கும் சம்பந்தம் இருப்பதாகத் தெரிந்தது.

ராஜகோபாலும் “யாரண்டை” என்கிற கேள்வியை எழுப்பிக் கொண்டு நிற்கவில்லை.

பிரசாதத்தை எடுத்துக் கொண்டு போய், நங்கநல்லூரில் இருந்த தன் பெரியப்பாவிடம் சமர்ப்பித்தார் ராஜகோபால்.

“நான் பார்க்கவரலேயேன்னு நீயே எனக்குப் பிரசாதத்தை அனுப்பினியா மஹானே?” என்று கண்களில் நீர் வழிய கேட்டபின் அந்த முடியாத நிலையிலும் பிரசாதத்தை பயபக்தியோடு உட்கொண்டார். உடல்நிலை மோசமாகத்தான் இருந்தது.

இருந்தாலும் மஹானின் பிரசாதத்தை உட்கொண்ட பின்னர், மேலும் சில தினங்கள் அவர் உயிரோடு இருந்து பிறகு இறைவனடி சேர்ந்தார். மஹான், தன் பக்தர்களை எப்படி எல்லாம் ஆட்கொண்டார் என்பதற்கு இது இன்னொரு உதாரணம்.

Message For the Day…” God Gives Whatever You Pray for…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

A man who had four wives happened to go to Mumbai on some work. From there, he wrote to all of them that he was prepared to bring home whatever each of them wanted. The first wife asked for some nice tonics for her health, as well as rugs and woollen clothing to be of service whenever she fell ill. The second wife wanted some sarees of the latest style, jewellery of the Mumbai type and such other sundry decorative stuff. The third asked him to select for her some religious books like the Jnaneshwari, abhangs, etc. available in Mumbai book-shops, as well as pictures of Pandharinath, Bhavani and Sai Baba. The fourth wife had no list at all; she simply wrote, “If you return soon and safe, that is enough for me.” The others got big packets containing whatever they had asked for, but the last one got his love. God gives you whatever you pray for; so think well and discriminate clearly before you pray and ask.

” Woh Din “….A Video That Will Make you nostalgic…

If you’ve gone through the 90s as a kid, then this video will make you nostalgic. A trip down the memory lane when things used to be simpler and fun; from textbook cricket to Nagraj comics, from Duck Tales to Surabhi, from F.L.A.M.E.S to approaching a girl through a wingman, from familiar postmen to a single landline in a Mohalla, this film has covered it all.

“Woh Din” is a tribute to the glorious decade of 90′s by the creative ‘emotional fools’ at EmotionalFulls.

Thank you for such a wonderful film.

” God’s Own Child From God’s Own Country “….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Edmund Thomas Clint was a child prodigy from Kochi, Kerela. Sadly, he lived only for 7 years and passed away due to kidney failure.

But what he did in those 7 years is a work of sheer genius. At such a tender age, he had the creative bent of an artistic legend: he created some fine 25,000 artwork in just 2522 days!

Clint Road in Kochi is named after him. There are books and films on his unbelievable journey, yet this is an untold story. The video rightly attributes,

“Gods Own Child from God’s Own Country”

Message For the Day…” Every Human Being is an ‘ Amsavatar’…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Oblivious to the presence of the Divine within, people embark on the quest for God. They behave like a person who goes to borrow milk from their neighbour, forgetting the wish-fulfilling cow (Kamadhenu) in their backyard. Avatars are of two kinds: Amsavatar and Purnavatar. Every human being is an Amsavatar (partial incarnation of the Divine); in the Gita, Lord Krishna says, ‘a part of the Divine Soul has become the individual soul in the world of living beings (Mamaivaamso jeevaloke jeevabhutah-sanaatanah)’. Many partial incarnations get caught up in Maya (worldly illusion), develop egoism and possessiveness, and lead worldly lives. Purnaavatar (full incarnation of the Divine) may behave, according to the circumstances, as if they were subject to Maya, but they are free from Maya at all times. They subdue and transcend Maya, and manifest their full Divinity to the world throughout their lives.

NASA Announces An Earth like Planet ….

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

NASA and Kepler telescope researchers have just announced that they’ve discovered an Earth-sized planet, circling a dwarf star at a distance that would allow that planet to support liquid water. 

A live press conference is currently happening, which includes Douglas Hudgins of NASA’s Astrophysics Division, Elisa Quintana of the SETI Institute at NASA’s Ames Research Center, Tom Barclay of Bay Area Environmental Research Institute at Ames, and Victoria Meadows of the University of Washington and the NASA Astrobiology Institute at Ames.

You can watch live on Ustream and we’ve embedded the video below. Questions for the scientists can be submitted on Twitter using the hashtag #AskNASA.

The finding was also published today, April 16, in the journal Science.

The new planet, Kepler-186f, is part of a five-planet planet system that orbits a star named Kepler-186, which is cooler and about half the size and mass of our sun.

The newfound system is located about 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. Kepler-186f is the outermost planet and the only one circling its star at the right distance to have liquid water on it’s surface. Since liquid water is a key ingredient for life to exist, scientists call this sweet spot the “habitable zone.”

On planets that are too close to their star, liquid water boils away. Those that are too far don’t get enough energy from their star to support a climate and atmosphere similar to Earth.

The planets were discovered using the Kepler spacecraft, launched in 2009 to look for Earth-sized planets near stars like our sun. Kepler has found dozens of exoplanets in the habitable zone, but most of these are gas giants. Kepler-186f is the first confirmed Earth-sized planet potentially with an Earth-like atmosphere and water at its surface.

The artist’s concept depicts Kepler-186f, the first validated Earth-size planet orbiting a distant star in the habitable zone.

 

 

Size and composition

Kepler-186f is less than 10% larger than Earth. Scientists confirmed the size of Kepler-186f by measuring how much light it blocks as it passed in front of its host star.

Scientists don’t yet know the mass or composition of Kepler-186f, but think it could have a rocky surface based on planets of similar size – like Earth.

“There’s a very excellent chance that it does have a rocky surface like the Earth,” co-author Stephen Kane, of San Francisco State University, said in a statement.

Here’s how the planets of our inner solar system compare to those of Kepler-186:
