posted in S/F but thought you all would find this interesting.
Just talked to my friend who was at the Reno Air show.
He was in the front V.I.P boxes. The Plane crashed about 60-70 feet from him and his family
He told me his family and the friends he went with are all OK, because he pushed his family to the ground and lay on top of them, and His friends did the same. The woman that was next to him (unrelated) did not get down, she lost her arm and later died.
I should say that my buddy is a Combat trained Nurse. He was injured in his own leg (possibly a fracture?) but he stayed with that woman and gave CPR and brought her back twice, she later died in the Chopper ride to the hospital.
He then attended to a 9 or 10 year old boy who also lost an arm. the boy was coherent and talking, asked my buddy to find his arm for him, (reminded me of saving private Ryan some how) and the boy was more worried about having to go pee and didn't want to pee his pants because "he was a big boy now".
then My buddy helped with a large man who lost a leg and was unconscious. said he weighed over 300 lbs and was very hard to lift him into the helicopter to spite losing a leg, with 6 guys helping, he told me dead weight is really tough to move around, even with 6 people helping.
He found an arm but it wasn't the boys. he said he picked it up and studied it and then sort of came to the realization "hey, I'm holding somebodies arm," and dropped it sort of out of shock.
mostly he said all he saw were chunks of meat about the size of golf balls or baseballs. and total destruction where just minutes ago were people, coolers and chairs with neat rows of booths and banners, it was totally surreal and unbelievable.
he said his cell phone somehow got destroyed so he was out of communication with his family for several hours (he sent them out of the area in their car) and even if he did have a phone he couldn't remember his own phone number, but somehow remembered his mother in laws, so someone made a call for him and he was able to reunite with his family several hours later.
He told me he was VERY IMPRESSED with the emergency responders and the people who helped, many of the display helicopters were volunteered by their owners to fly victim to the hospital. He said the whole scene was cleared of victims in approximately 60 minutes.
He'll be going to the VA tomorrow to have his leg looked at, he didn't want to clog up the hospital with his minor fracture anyway, he can walk on it and it hurts like a bitch, but is relatively minor considering the other folks.
That's all I got. I didn't want to press him for info beyond what he willingly volunteered.
My wife and I usually go with them, we skipped this year.
Ça par contre je comprend tout à fait qu'un organisateur de meeting/salon invite qui il souhaite et selon ses propres critères, c'est sa responsabilité qui est en jeu. Ce qui m’embêterais en fait c'est que l'on nous ponde une réglementation imposant un âge limite.Tomcat a écrit :Ca fait plusieurs années que les pilotes "d'un certain âge" pilotant des trucs rapides (à commencer par JMS) sont interdits de vol au salon du Bourget.
C'est très dur à accepter pour eux, sans nul doute, mais médicalement c'est pas contestable, ils sont beaucoup plus sujets à un malaise à 75 ans qu'à 40 ans, et leurs capacités faiblissent.
Je veux bien le croireJ'ai vu le Mustang se planter à Reno vendredi. J'ai pas envie du tout de revivre ça
oui, bien sur ... c'est d'ailleurs frappant de voir le manque de séparation course/public à cette époque.Warlordimi a écrit : Vous avez déjà entendu parler des 82 morts au Mans en 1955???
11G dans les dents... je crois que le G-Loc fait peu de doutes maintenant... "mayday" ? j'ai un gros doute...Telemetry downloaded from Galloping Ghost revealed an 11g pullup, fuel flow
interrupted on the way up, and then the engine restarted when fuel flow
resumed at the top of the arc. The aircraft was making 105 inches of MP on
the way down.
Et en F1 aussi, cette roue de Mercedes qui etait aller faire un tour dans le public et qui avait tuer je ne sais plus combien de personnes.ceramix a écrit :oui, bien sur ... c'est d'ailleurs frappant de voir le manque de séparation course/public à cette époque.
Tout à fait. Face à une casse matériel, il n'y a rien à faire, l'age du pilote ne joue pas. Ayrton SENNA était jeune quand il s'est pris le mur et pourtant c'était un excellent pilote.sont à mon avis des pistes plus sérieuses que l'age du pilote.
Je voulais dire au moment de la ressource...GunMan a écrit :Pourquoi ça ? Ca paraîtrait logique qu'il casse quand les efforts sont les plus importants...
