plane my parents were on caught on fire - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Andrew Bohan · 02-16-2005, 03:11 PM

my mom just called me to say they're not home from hawaii yet cuz the plane they were on caught on fire somewhere between honolulu and seattle and had to turn around and go back. it had to dump the fuel and all that shit too.

she said there wasn't any smoke in the cabin or anything, but the fumes were so bad they made you wanna pass out. she thought she was gonna die.

scary stuff.

FRpilot · 02-16-2005, 03:24 PM

wow. scary stuff

blu808 · 02-16-2005, 03:36 PM

wow, that could have been bad.

*HaLo* · 02-16-2005, 03:45 PM

At least they made it back. Be grateful they are alive and well. You can always wait a few more days for them to get back!

Andrew Bohan · 02-16-2005, 03:59 PM

not like i'm gonna see em anytime soon anyway. they live outside seattle, i'm in the bay area. i didn't even know they were going back today.

Var · 02-16-2005, 04:00 PM

Glad to hear they are okay Drewl.

Nismo · 02-16-2005, 06:42 PM

glad they're ok

wootwoot · 02-16-2005, 07:13 PM

Not going to see them anytime soon?! Dont you go visit your parents after a somewhat near death expierence? I wonder how long it will be until we hear about this on the news?

Inland180 · 02-16-2005, 07:48 PM

Damn Glad they ok

Andrew Bohan · 02-16-2005, 08:33 PM

my next trip up there is planned for late next month. usually just go once a year tho.

FRpilot · 02-16-2005, 09:50 PM

you are a good son

Andrew Bohan · 02-16-2005, 11:39 PM

unlike you

"kenny, why don't pick these things up? someone can step on them."
"okay i will"
"but they're already broken."

hahah

Drunk Bastard · 02-16-2005, 11:42 PM

$h1T!!!!!11 thats some scary stuff having the plane catch on fire. glad to hear everyone is ok!!!

jOeHaCk98 · 02-16-2005, 11:46 PM

Wait. This wasnt a South West Plane was it? On my recent flight back from SNA to SJC Something flew off the plane and hit the window accross from me. It had to be something from the plane as we were at cruising altitude. Maybe it was the same plane.

Andrew Bohan · 02-17-2005, 01:40 AM

it was a northwest flight. dang i forgot the flight number already.
i talked to my dad this time. he said they were about a half hour out of honolulu when weird stuff started happening. lights would turn off by themselves, and people turn them back on. the in-flight movie stopped and the screen rolled up. fligh attendants started passing out meals, then started collecting them right away, before everyone got one. then when they were about an hour out, the fasten seat belt sign came on and the plane turned around. then it started smelling like burning wires and electricity and shit. people's eyes were burning and everthing. my mom said she could hardly breathe. i'm surprised the oxygen masks didn't come down. then they turned off whatever it was that was burning.

after they landed in honolulu again, they got put up in a hotel, then got on another northwest plane tonight and went home safely. i talked to them a little whlie after they landed.

edit: 2500th post! w00t!!

MakotoS13 · 02-17-2005, 08:15 AM

EFF flying. i'll fly on highways and race tracks thank you very much.

SirWarrior · 02-17-2005, 08:47 AM

I beleive the air masks come down when you loose cabin pressure, but I hope there is a manual override for that.
I am glad everyone is OK, but a law suit for the stress is not too far away, I am pretty sure of that.

nismo2491 · 02-17-2005, 10:06 AM

there is a manual overide, but yes its for when cabin pressure is lost. other than getting put up in the hotel did they get anything else? I mean shit if that was me I'd be raising all hell and get bumped up to first class and my money refunded so I flew home for free. and not just to be a dick. I'm not a big fan of flying as it is so I'd probably shit my pants if that happened. although its not the fall that kills you, thats actually the fun part, the shitty part is the sudden stop.

Looks like this is more common than you think....

Next time, before you board the plane, take a look at what kind of plane you'll be flying in...if it's a Boeing MD-11, 737 or 757, it's time to look for another carrier & flight!!

And all this was found by doing a quick internet search......YIKES!!!

Andrew Bohan · 02-20-2005, 01:58 AM

737's are like the only planes i ever end up on

i hope they were made after 1992

sideviewcivic · 02-20-2005, 02:32 AM

i miss flying on L-1011s my fave commercial plane of all-time. I used to ride them all the time back when TWA was running the dual red stripes. Good to hear your folks are alrite man. I know how something like that strips away all that you hold dear and leaves you defenseless. Look at it like this. You appreciate things in a different manner now.

AllenRPS13 · 02-20-2005, 04:00 AM

so glad that they are ok, andrew

RacerBoi · 02-20-2005, 04:36 PM

I'm pretty sure this type of thing has to be reported to the FAA, and is public knowledge, but if i hadn't read it on zilvia, im sure none of us would of known about this.

FastBack 240 · 02-21-2005, 12:08 AM

When I was on a Northwest flght going to FL from Detroit and one of the engines fell off the plane. I was sitting in the middle seat my grandfather in the window seat. I was looking out the window and go grandpa look, the engines gone. He grabs the flight attendant. "Excuse me miss, the engine fell off". Oh my dear it did. Dont know where it fell either.

Andrew Bohan · 02-21-2005, 12:39 AM

so then what happened?

RacerBoi · 02-21-2005, 11:46 AM

Thats a bs story. If were on a plane where the engine fell off, I nor the flight attendant would be as calm.

nismo2491 · 02-21-2005, 02:50 PM

engines don't just fall off with no prior warning
