What a great idea!!!

**parksie** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:02 PM

I just had a really great idea, people.

Why not just destroy the planet? A few well-placed nukes and we can take it apart in about 10 minutes

Be great for the morale of the universe, and we can get rid of all our problems in one go!

Why didn't I think of this before?

**kedaman** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:08 PM

Everytime me and my friend have an argument about things, we get to this solution

maybe it's the ideology to go

Take more than a few though...hurricanes don't obliterate the world yet they are some 150x the strength of an a bomb

**parksie** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:14 PM

Yes, but all that power is only used to mess the atmosphere around. I'm talking about putting nukes into every fault line you can find and seeing what happens

Don't mess with the atmosphere! It's a double-hard bastard!

Daaaahhh.....it's not! It's TINY compared to the planet

**chrisjk** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:19 PM

it's got friends in high places

Oh I crack myself up sometimes......

**parksie** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:21 PM

I'll crack you, matey

**kedaman** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:22 PM

ah

but the thicker atmosphere, the more efficient is the nuke

**chrisjk** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:23 PM

shall we take this outside?!

**kedaman** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:25 PM

of course, who buys!?

**parksie** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:25 PM

Of course

Firing nukes off inside is pretty pointless

**Olly** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:26 PM

I got a better idea: the flight sticks of the aircraft pilots should be protected by a fingerprint system so that only the two pilots are able to fly it. Sure it would have to be made very reliable.

**chrisjk** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:26 PM

aww crap, Building 5 is threatening to ground itself...

**kedaman** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:27 PM

naah, who cares about the planes? WTC? we should get rid of all problems at once!

interesting idea..but what happens if someone else does take over the plane...what does the plane then do?

You what? In the WTC?

**chrisjk** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:30 PM

yep. It's just partially collapsed, rest could follow. Everyone was evacuated though

**Olly** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:31 PM

Yes, thats a problem! there would have to be something like a pilots database with all their fingerprints. So an other registered pilot could go on. But well, i got no better idea how to protect any better at the moment.

I meant what if a terroist takes the controls...does the plane ignore their inputs? Does it continue flying in a straight line?

Hmmm...Building 5 is almost as tall as Canary Wharf...

Weld the door to the cabin shut and make the crew enter the cockpit from the outside of the aircraft.

**Olly** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:37 PM

Yes, only the 2 pilots will be able to operate the aircraft.
No pilot would do voluntarely something that terrible.
But if the terrorists dont know about the system and got other plans than crasin into a building, then this is not a good solution, i admit. Well, was just an idea.

**kedaman** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:37 PM

Let's face it, the planes are way too dangerous, we should travel on ground

If your death is written on a spicifc day by God then you can't protect yourslef even whatever you do.

**Olly** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:38 PM

the only alternative would be to send armed security, lets say 2-3
men with every aircraft. That would be expesive, but what else?

**kedaman** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:41 PM

the pilots should be trained martial art

I think they should carry a weapon of some sorts to protect themselves

Actually, I don't believe in death

**abdul** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:43 PM

Jeesus! they just showed it at cnn! there are loads of damaged buildings around the wtc. They showed pictures from the closed area. Looks Hohorrible!!!

DerFarm · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:46 PM

Welding the door is not such a bad idea. Actually, connecting the cockpit door lock to the altimeter such that the door won't open until the altimeter shows 0 would probably work. Presumably, the lock could be attached to a switch that would automatically call FAA/Police/FBI/whoever, if the door was attacked.

You are right, of course, that hijackers could break down the door and/or blow the plane up. But they can blow the plane up anyway.

Much the same system (in theory anyway) is in place in the maximum security prisons. If the prisoners take you hostage you are SOL. There will be no negotiation.

**Olly** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:46 PM

and parts of dead bodies lying around

**parksie** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:48 PM

SOL??

**Olly** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:49 PM

maybe they willl have to destroy and rebould many skyscrapers around the wtc!

**Olly** · Sep 12th, 2001, 04:51 PM

2 men who are suspected to be linked to the terrorist act have just been captured by the german police in Hamburg.

so if there was an armed marshal on board to stop the guys everyone in the plane would have just dropped dead?
