What IS Coffin Corner

[3WE]

Ok, I think we'd certainly all agree that something goes critical and then you break up and die.

But, in the realm of details- was it:

(I recognize that this has been hinted at in other threads, but it really deserves a stand-alone thread to catalog all the possiblities)

No recent air incidents followed by a sudden increase in traffic due to BA going mudding in a 777?

The threadmill (or computer disks) approaching a velocity of infinity and breaking up (or maybe the airplane actually took flight?

The realization that EU pilots are not as good as American pilots?

Melissa reading ITS' comments about female pilots?

Realizing that Obsessivecompulisive Passenger is here, not there?

The sheer laughter at the definitions of coffin corner?

The server managed by puppy mill IT Technicians?

The IT technicians got food poisoning and some dummies who play IT Technitionsim tried to save the day?

AviationFascination posting two wide open questions in the same hour?

A missle and a massive cover up?

Cheap composite hard disks?

AD.com actually merged with JetPhotos and became one huge turd?

Please cast your vote and add items I may have over looked.

PS- It is so cool to see everyone as a "Junior Member"

My friend, you need a good editor.

For shissle, my missle.

Halfie:

The secret to the best writing is to write it down, sit on it and review it several days later.

Sadly, that is not available to the split second world of aviation fora.

Also, aviation is complex, while the rules of writing constrict ones freedom to weave thoughts. Flying is full of numerous woven, non-linear interactions (Just ask Gabe). Writing is a very linear categorical exercise.

I greatly apprecaite your ongoing advice and recognize that writing is not my forte. I shall do my best to write more limited, organized newspaper style thought-bytes.

However, sadly, I will ocassionally be caught up in the moment and the many angles and sometimes obtuse one-liners that can be interjected.

By the way- good luck with your new Avatar- that seems to be going well.

We write about aviation here and while flying is laden with woven, non-linear interactions (just ask Gabe), writing is a very linear exercise.

I greatly apprecaite your ongoing advice and recognize that writing is not my forte. I shall do my best to write in a more organized manner, however, I will ocassionally be caught up in the moment and my verbal diarrhea will return.

By the way - good luck with your new avatar - that seems to be going well.

I don't necessarily agree with the above, but took the liberty of doing a one-minute edit (rather than waiting for days).

You know I love you, 3WE. Keep up the good work!

It's always good working with you.

Now, please, contribute to the concept of this thread, you dangerous attention whore!

Actually, I've ceded coffin corner humor to Billy. He is the master.

Coffin Corner's can be located at your local mortuary. Pick the ones you want.

Lets leave that discussion back at ADC. I came very close to locking the thread!

A thread that continues despite the warnings of moderators is commonly referred to as "Threading the Coffin".

ps. HB--a compliment like that from you means I can go home now and enjoy my 3 day weekend.

You have no power here, Don. No amount of whinin' or coffin will stop the momentum.
