There was a good book called “Blast the bush” I forget the authors name, I THINK he was called Len Bates. He was a surveyor who found the site for the tests.
The scientists did some risky things with the servicemen back then and the various governments since have messed the poor vets about so that they would die off and cost them less in compo.

I think there has been a little miss understanding here.
The 777 has a crew oxygen supply bottle below the flight deck floor. It has enough O2 in it to supply the (Possible) four crew for a half an hour. The O2 is supplied to the crew via a mask.

This mask is designed to be put on with one hand. To do this the masks straps are inflated with O2 when the crew grab it. They then place it over their heads and the straps deflate and the mask tightens around the crew members head. This mask assembly is stored in a box referred to as a Canister It is in fact a box about 6 X 4 X 18 inches.
The Canisters that caused the Valujet accident were chemical oxygen generators.

Two totally different things called the same thing.
All Boeings and Airbus’s have gaseous oxygen supplied to the crew. Therefore this accident could have happened to most Boeing and Airbus aircraft.

Be careful!! Thay might mean something bad.
My old charge hand had a shaky start in the Navy and one entry on his service card was “D.R” Decline to report. A few years later another officer asked him what DR ment. Quick as a flash he replied “Definitely Reliable”!!!!

There are two perfectly good runways at Manchester and runways at Birmingham, Glasgow and Standsted. You do not need to build another runway at LHR, you need to stop people traveling past under the utilized airports.

Good thread running on PPRuNe about this incident… http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/488489-air-japan-ana-incident-nrt.html

I have not seen the Alitalia and Asiana aircraft, so that SEVEN aircraft that I know about.

Bmused55. What I mean by the aircraft has a habit of doing it is that seven different pilots have damaged six different aircraft in almost the same way. Similar long bodied aircraft, 757,777-300 and indeed 767-400 have not had as many, if any, incidents of fwd fuselage damage due to nose first landings.
It would be interesting as everybody says to see how a long bodied 787 would behave.

A 767 was rolled out of the old BA hangar at MAN today inthis livery.
