What a hail storm at 35000 feet can do to a 727
December 19th - 7 Responses


Hail!

I just found a few more reasons never to set foot in another airplane. In August of 2006, a cargo flight enroute to Minneapolis from Calgary slammed headfirst into a fast moving lightning and hail storm, at 35000 feet. The resulting damage looks intense, with the cockpit windows mostly cracked and the radome of the airliner blown apart. After partially losing electricity and radar, the pilots declared an emergency, returning to Calgary in what is reported as an uneventful landing. How the pilots landed this thing I’ll never know.

    Can I make a suggestion? I think youve obtained some thing good here. But what should you added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre declaring? Or possibly you can give us something to search at, something that would connect what youre stating to some thing tangible? Just a suggestion.
