 “Simulation”

CAMBRIDGE BAY, Nunavut – A man aboard a small passenger plane fought to push open the aircraft’s door at 23,000 feet over northern Canada and leaped to his death, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing with the door ajar, police said Thursday.
The Adlair Aviation plane with two pilots and two passengers was flying from Yellowknife to Cambridge Bay, a community in western Nunavut, when the man jumped Wednesday night, said Staff Sgt. Harold Trupish of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The Beechcraft King Air 200 twin-turboprop was about 110 miles (180 kilometers) from the Cambridge Bay airport when the man jumped, he said. Police were searching for the body of the 20-year-old, whose name was not released. Trupish said the pilots reported the passenger became unruly and they struggled to keep him from pushing the door open and leaping out.
“The plane came in with the door open,” he said. “Somehow they were able to control the aircraft to land. The three other people are all OK.”
It was probably the food.
#17: I didn’t complete pilot training, but what you describe is possibly the most dangerous thing you can do in a twin.
Of course the plane was pressurized, but the operation of the door on a King Air is not familure to me.
The story would have been more interesting if the guy’s history had been disclosed. It is too bad he couldn’t receive the help he obviously needed, maybe he is the product of healthcare rationing?
We can no longer see the numbers for each comments.
Yes, the lack of numbers is crappy, as is this bizzare from the right crap with the punctuation all in the wrong places.
It has now been reported in the media that this missing and presumed dead individual was detained earlier in the same day by the RCMP for medical reasons related to his behavior
So why was he on this flight not in hand cuffs and why is he going to Cambridge Bay where there is much less medical facilities than in Yellowknife where the flight originated
Is this another case of the Queen’s Cowboys/Girls not properly trained to do the job correctly
Finally I am getting more upset every week with the reports about how our National Police force is performing
It is the last ting they should be doing is allowing a mentally disturbed passenger on a flight in a small aircraft
P.S.
This blog format is not only ackward, but was it designed and written for Oriental Characters by some oriental code writers
Just wondering that is all
