Accident at Cape

If this were a commercial crew flight, the launch escape system on Dragon V2 would have saved the crew. Perhaps. Or perhaps not. It largely depends on what triggers the launch escape system.

In the case of this accident, it's questionable if human triggering would have been fast enough to save the crew. |

Perhaps if you got off your ass and saw sunlight time to time you wouldn't post crazy **** and rant about it. The article itself is behind a paywall, but reading the comments it is quickly obvious that this particular manager whipped out a gun and started shooting, endangering pretty much everyone in the bank. THAT is why he was fired, you ignorant ****. Perhaps if you learned to read polysyllabic English you wouldn't take such moronic positions. You've made a claim. Presumably you can point to all sorts of news stories where bank managers were fired after a robbery JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE BANK MANAGERS and without egregiously insane behavior like spraying bullets around. How can anyone talk with a liar like you that makes **** up after lamely saying they didn't read the article? Apparently you cannot read English. Have someone read what I wrote to you and explain it in words of one syllable so that perhaps you'll get it. -- "You take the lies out of him, and he'll shrink to the size of your hat; you take the malice out of him, and he'll disappear." -- Mark Twain |
