okay in the movie Millenium (Cheryl Ladd and Kris Kristofferson) a worm hole was opened on the plane, a rip in time, and all 237 people were transported into the future to repopulate a sterile world.

how about that?

So you're wrong again?

The plane never went to 45,000 feet. That "news" was the result of faulty RADAR data that does that all the time in that part of the world...because the global air traffic infrastructure has not had any real substantive updates to it since the 1960s. Like I said before, the plane will be outside of where they were initially looking for it because RADAR doesn't work well out there and the pilots would have to call in their locale (and they did not provide any communication after they were passed to Vietnamese airspace). When the tracking is that piss poor, you get all types of faulty data. 45K didn't happen.

Where's Tattoo when you need him?

That dude nose dived that plane into the ocean as fast and hard as he could. Period. And willing to bet 95% of it is at the bottom of the ocean and they will be lucky to find any of it.

if that plane is where they are looking now they ran out of fuel

at this point I think they Stewart Payne'd

Who's Stewart Payne? Was he a pilot like Earhart Amelia? Or Lindburgh Charles?

professional golfer, his private plane decompressed at like 30K feet, they all went unconscious, froze and the plane flew for a few hours on auto pilot and crashed in a corn field somewhere

The point is that the golfer's name is/was Payne Stewart.

dammit, you should have let him continue with Stewart Payne.

BTW, I'm pretty sure I'm the one who broke the story here about Stewart and the others in the plane freezing solid and shattering like glass on impact since I got that story from the guy who wrote his bio for the company I was working for in SF at that time. I'm glad to see it's still an integral part of "Who is Stewart Payne?"

I'm 47 years old - you think I give a fuck about mistakes like that anymore? And fuck people that name their kids with a last name first

I know. at our age we have to be more concerned with remembering to zip our fly when we come out of the men's room or if there's food on our shirts after lunch

there are positives to it - like wearing house shoes out to dinner at 5pm

lol.

I'm pretty sure when your crashing from 30 thousand feet you shatter like glass whether you are frozen stiff or not.
so I wonder how long you have before you croak----10 seconds? a minute--5 minutes--to try to get yourself down to a survivable altitude

I've been saying that from the beginning

I did that twice last week running errands. Only realized it a few hours later when a cold breeze hit the opening just right.

intentional doesn't count

Payne's learjet ascended to over 46k feet after pressurization was lost. The pilots were unresponsive 5 minutes after their last communication.
