Another issue that was presented was what would have happened to the aircraft if it really hit the tree and lost a part of the left wing.

Originally posted by Praehapt Bubtah View PostI have heard that there are some new single-engine aircraft that come with parachutes.
I believe that this is an excellent idea that should be required for all light aircraft.
The TU-154 is not really a light aircraft, only a little bit lighter after it hits trees.
Many microlight/ultralight aircraft include a full vehicle parachute. It's not practical on heavier aircraft to recover the entire aircraft with parachutes. Some bizjets and military aircraft have stall recovery chutes. Nevertheless I don't think a chute would have helped in this case...

Did he speak "to" parliament? No, although some members might have gone along because they had nothing better to do.
After reading the best-selling book Callous Disregard, Autism and Vaccines: the Truth Behind a Tragedy, Member of the European Parliament Marta Andreasen invited Andy Wakefield to present at the Parliament’s HQ in Brussels on the causation of autism.

In light of this, you might have at least admitted to the probability that Gabriel is correct.

I only have three questions:
1- What is the official body calling the hearing?
2- Who and in what name is interrogating the whitnesses? (if they are being interrogated at all)
3- Are the whitnesses under oath like in an NTSB public hearing, and could they face any consequence if they lie?
Bonus:
--- Judge what is said by the merits of what is said, not by the credentials of who said it. ---
--- Defend what you say with arguments, not by imposing your credentials ---

Originally posted by Northwester View PostOk, go to the European Parliament website and click on what is in the red box.
The hearing was held before the European Conservatives and Reformists Group (ECR). The ECR is essentially a right-wing fringe of the European Parliament composed largely of Poles, Czechs and Eastern Europeans with stated anti-Russian sentiments (specifically a post-communist-era bias).
Originally posted by ECR websiteOur positions in the European Parliament help us to punch above our weight and put into real practice our Prague declaration principles (sic).
So what did they expect would come of this? What has come of this? Did anyone in parliament take this seriously? Has anyone in parliament taken any action as a result of this?
