Hi Folks

[quote=Rats404,Oct. 21 2009,01:12]I know it's a plank, but when I came across this clip I had to share.

for the non-pilots, CFIT is Controlled Flight Into Terrain - a killer of lots of pilots.

Watch it soon, because I can't believe this will stay up long - the FAA will be very interested in this one I reckon.

A very lucky bunch of guys flown by a very stupid pilot

It sounds like they don't really see just how lucky they are :|

I believe it's an expression of relief, it's apparently not uncommon in people who've survived near death experiences. Something to do with being in shock I think.

Laughter is the most effective meathod to release stress/shock... Was the best meathod in the fire service when i was in, but was only between ourselves and thats where it was left at...

Well at least the NTSB would have had some evidence as to how....

We all know the why already.

By the way if the FEDs happen upon that piece of video that gents license is gone for a burton...

Lets see how many violations you all can spot in that video -- I managed eight.
