Guido asked:

I always thought water was certain death as water becomes very hard upon impact, but the recent crash in New York where the plane survived in one piece made me wonder if water landings are safer. I was also told pilots don’t train for water landings because there isn’t much chance to survive. Kinda a pointless question I know, but I’m just curious.

A view from above the Clarence, NY site where Continental Connection Flight 3407 from Newark, N.J. went down Thursday night, shows wreckage of the plane and the house it struck still burning and smoldering. 50 people were killed in that crash. (Feb. 13)

Thomas asked:

I’d like to build a helicopter, which is either remote controlled, or one that I can acutally sit in. I’d like to discover all the technical wonders in a helicopter design. So I’d like to build one from scratch.

vistazan asked:

I mean a small plane. Something like a single engine cesna.
What are my chances of just hopping in one, taking off and landing without killing myself with little or no training?
Ive played plenty of flying video games, would that help?
The Wright brothers had no training.
Landing seems pretty hard, and i would probably mess up there. But the rest of it seems like a piece of cake.
