    It worth what anyone is willing to pay.

    Personally I like it and would have been proud to have seen and to have taken an image like that.

    Absolutely not! I’d rather listen to Meatloaf or Dire Straits!

    Paranormal Activity

    Genuinely scary and very well done. Even normal mundane scenes have a great tension as you watch and wait….
    Made for $15000 and has grossed over $190m so far 😮

    Paranormal Activity 2

    A prequel to the first film and just as scary. As much of what happens is implied rather than graphic it makes it all the more frightening.

    REC

    A sort of Spanish Cloverfield /28 days later zombie rage thing but seen through the eyes of a TV documentary crew. Some very scary and disturbing scenes especially at the end.

    Oh yea 2011 & the X-Factor ?????????? Time for a group ” Fingers down throat” moment !!

    There is a lot of decent music around that doesn’t involve anything like the X-factor (or Meatloaf or Dire Straits for that matter ) :p

    As far as I can find out, the gear is electrically unlocked allowing it to free-fall.

    Well, I would hope so. :rolleyes:

    I’m sure those procedures (if they have one for a wheels up landing) will have included all the necessary cb pulling.
    The bigger question I would ask is why the gravity drop didn’t work.

    Maybe, maybe not; it may have made the aircraft tend to float.

    The crew have carried out a great feat here. I don’t know what systems they would have had to over-ride by not getting a weight-on-wheels signal. All sorts of systems need such a signal during a normal touchdown.

    The “trick or treat” name may be a US import but in Scotland we had “guising” a long time before that. Same thing, different name.

    That may be so, in fact I think I mentioned it myself a few posts back that modern cars can stop quicker. My point was however that the thinking distance will be the same if not possibly longer than it was in the 1960s. Driving a 1960’s car traveling at 70mph is very different from driving a one of today’s quiet smooth cars.
    The other far more important point, and again these have been mentioned before, is that the motorways are many, many times busier than they were in the 1960s. On the M6 during the week you’d be lucky to travel at 50mph far less 80mph.
