Fun Facts: Airplanes & Airports Part 1

Qatar Airways allows you to travel with and keep a falcon in the cabin, provided that there aren’t already six falcons on board.

A woman named Vesna Vulovic from Yugoslavia  holds the Guinness World Record for the highest fall survived without a parachute. On January 26, 1972, she was working as a flight attendant when she fell 32,000 feet over the Czech Republic. Unbelievably, the plane that she was working onboard blew up and she fell inside a section of the tail unit. After being in the hospital for sixteen months and emerging from a twenty-seven-day coma, she had multiple broken bones but miraculously survived.

Ellen Church was the first female flight attendant who began flying in 1930. She implemented a plan that required all flight attendants to be registered nurses, which was a great idea; except when World War II began, all of the nurses enlisted in the war, so most airlines were forced to drop the requirement in order to find any workers.

The smallest commercial flight in the world is from the Westray Airport to the Papa Westray Airport between two small Orkney Islands north of Scotland. It’s only a distance of 1.7 miles and if the wind is ideal, it can take as little as forty-seven seconds from start to finish.

A stowaway Greek cat once flew in the undercarriage of an Airbus A321 from Athens to Zurich. It had shock and hypothermia but unbelievably it survived. 

 

Rapid Train Service

A passenger train is creeping along, painfully slow. Finally, it creaks to a complete halt. A passenger sees a conductor walking by outside.

“What’s going on?” she yells out the window.

“Cow on the track!” replies the conductor.

Ten minutes later, the train resumes its slow pace. Within five minutes, however, it stops again. The woman sees the same conductor walking by again. She leans out the window and yells, “What happened? Did we catch up with the cow again?”

Astronomy Picture of the Day

The Hydra Cluster of Galaxies
Image Credit & Copyright: Rafael Sampaio

Explanation: Within our own Milky Way galaxy, two bright, spiky stars stand like sentinels in the foreground of this cosmic snapshot. Far beyond them are the galaxies of the Hydra Cluster. In fact, while the spiky foreground stars are hundreds of light-years distant, the Hydra Cluster galaxies are well over 100 million light-years away. Three large galaxies near the cluster center, two yellow ellipticals (NGC 3311, NGC 3309) and one prominent blue spiral (NGC 3312), are the dominant galaxies, each about 150,000 light-years in diameter. An intriguing overlapping galaxy pair cataloged as NGC 3314 lies above and left of NGC 3312. Also known as Abell 1060, the Hydra galaxy cluster is one of three large galaxy clusters within 200 million light-years of the Milky Way. In the nearby universe, galaxies are gravitationally bound into clusters which themselves are loosely bound into superclusters. Superclusters in turn are seen to align over even larger scales.

Bible Verse

When one person turns to God, it causes a lot of joy in heaven. There is more joy about that one person, than about 99 people who already obey God.’

From: VINCE THE SIGN GUY

Why are dogs happy?

 

An efficiency expert…

An efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution. “You don’t want to try these techniques at home.”

“Why not?” asked somebody from the audience.

“I watched my wife’s routine at breakfast for years,” the expert explained. “She made lots of trips between the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying a single item at a time. One day I told her, ‘Hon, why don’t you try carrying several things at once?'”

“Did it save time?” the person in the audience asked.

“Actually, yes,” replied the expert. “It used to take her 20 minutes to make breakfast. Now I do it in seven.”
