Why dont they keep parachutes on airliners as a just in case?
Saturday, 29-Dec-12 19:12:54 UTC from web-
@renovatedkitchen Because crashing into the ocean is more likely than needing to jump out of a plane, it would cost thousands and have hardly any storage space for them, and despite what Mitt Romney thinks opening the doors of a plane is not considered a good idea?

@thelastgherkin But what the plane gives off a beacon when it is going down. If at least some people could survive, that would let the coast guard know where to find them. Or even individual beacons. They aren't that expensive these days. Couldnt they fit them under the seat or someplace? Opening the doors at altitude isnt a good idea, but by the time someone does open the door and the plane is going downwards, I'm sure it would be low enough. Might be expensive, but it would save some lives

@renovatedkitchen The under the seat is already where the lifejackets are. And it's not going to save lives over an ocean crash any more than strand random hotshots who like diving out of windows in the middle of the sea.

@thelastgherkin we should get teleporters already

@renovatedkitchen Hey man, Optimus Prime's entire brain can be AND WAS stored on a floppy disk.

@thelastgherkin They did that to Cliff in Doom Patrol too, copied him to a CD and installed him in a new body.

@colfax Did he commit suicide first because he had lost at a video game?
Saturday, 29-Dec-12 19:32:46 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin No, but according to his son he didn't want to be president anyway.

@thelastgherkin More importantly, trained professionals die when they get tangled up in their chute chords and drown. Random civilians stand basically zero chance.

@ceruleanspark Then again, assuming the plane is going down because of a storm, the wind would probably destroy the parachuter

@thelastgherkin He wanted to open the /windows/. The doors just don't open because of the pressure differential (By design).
Saturday, 29-Dec-12 19:19:40 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Romney wanted to /open the windows on his plane/ ?
Saturday, 29-Dec-12 19:21:16 UTC from web-
@renovatedkitchen Yes. He said this on television even.
Saturday, 29-Dec-12 19:21:32 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark now THAT is what I call an American president
Saturday, 29-Dec-12 19:22:28 UTC from web -
@ceruleanspark Did someone remind him they cant go through the McDonalds drive through in the plane?

@renovatedkitchen Would you trust a company that can't even get a meal right or keep track of your luggage to properly pack your parachute for you?
Saturday, 29-Dec-12 19:18:56 UTC from web-
@colfax That is true, but even so, at least theres a 50/50 chance of things working out right, rather than certain death
Saturday, 29-Dec-12 19:19:55 UTC from web-
@renovatedkitchen You'd be better off grabbing up seat cushions and stuffing them, and yourself, into one of that bathrooms.
Saturday, 29-Dec-12 19:20:40 UTC from web-
@colfax Well, some airlines are at least a bit more competent than most
