Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Funny scene alan...but the physics are sooooo f'n wrong in that clip. 12 people moving back should have been plenty CG balance adjustment for him to make it to the stack of gold and begin chucking it forward, solving the entire balance problem. Then, oddly, once the bus inexplicably tipped after the adjustment, the stack moving back even slightly at 0:50 should have made the whole thing immediately slide off the cliff. OMG, then at 1:54, despite the gold sliding back even further, the bus tips back UP...omfg...movie people. Note that you don't want to watch sci fi, or movies relying on fictional tech, with me in the room if you hope to escape into the plot.

brett 2,315 Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 That was a great movie Alan, the remake not so much. The young Korean crew were known for their hijinks but the Slip-n-Slide was the final straw 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 No! I said put nitrogen in the nose gear tires, not helium. (Coff is going to hate the physics on that one.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks to all for the laughs and wanted to mention Very Honorable Mentions to Holdit's The first officer thought it would be a great prank to call "V1...rotate" as soon as the captain got in his seat. and also to Brett's : The young Korean crew were known for their hijinks but the Slip-n-Slide was the final straw Edited November 13, 2017 by Captain Coffee Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Thanks, Captain Coffee.... This one has some interesting possibilities, but then, all of them do... EDIT: I've got to get in here with mine - can't resist. Sorry. This one jumped out at the engineer in me. Copilot: Too bad you didn't hit it harder - it would have fallen forward and only damaged the wing. Link to post Share on other sites

His description of engineering "agility" is pretty good. I did like the jumping tower Al posted but in the end, had to cut the cards. Take it away, Brett. John Link to post Share on other sites
