anybody else love air crash investigation.there was one when an airliner was cruising along at night when all of a sudden this mad psychadelic light show appeared out the window. then all the engines stopped. they didn't know if they were being abducted by a flying saucer or what the story was. they managed to get the engines going but then they couldn't see out the window at all for some reason.turns out they had flown in to a volcanic cloud. millions of tiny particles were ricocheting off the plane creating flashes of light and the particles choked the engines and sandblasted the front window and all the paint off the plane. the light show phenomenon is known as st. elmo's fire.i was lookin at a programme today about a b-17 flying fortress that sustained a direct hit from a flak cannon to the cockpit. took the front of the plane off and killed the bombadier and co-pilot instantaneously. the cockpit was gone but the captain was able to fly the yoke by pulling at the severed aileron cables. amazing stuff.
Are all Indian Planes Jumbos ?
