Hi all,
Just a little snippet of news from Florida.http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/broward/sfl-flbplane0922nbsep22,0,616530.story
The pics of the pilot still strapped into his seat are unbelievable…how the hell did he survive this.
Cheers
Kevin

A Southern Airways DC9 did exactly that in 1977

The pictures of the pilot sitting there looks like something out of the TV show Lost! Are planes built like cars and designed to specifically crumple in the even of a crash as it seems the cockpit crumpled away from the pilot and left him in his seat mainly untouched?
