Breaking News: EgyptAir Flight MS804 from Paris to Cairo 'disappears from radar'

[Luke93]

Flights by plane in my life: 18.

Swims in shark infested waters in my life: 0.

Excellent, you've only used 11 flights of your millions left in your quota. No use them wisely and enjoy your holidays

Sharks only attack if you are wet.

CNN reporting now that they havnt actually found the wreckage

Sharks only attack if you are wet.

You sure about that?

I assume you mean 10,000 metres? (Or yards?)

No, definitely feet - see article here

WRONG !

Above 10,000 feet there is not enough oxygen in the atmosphere to sustain human consciousness / life.
So when an aircraft suffers a decompression incident above this altitude, if you don't get an oxygen mask on within circa 10 seconds you will fall asleep with HYPOXIA.
So 10 seconds of OMG and WTF then it's lights out, no pain, no fear, nothing ....

For that reason, high altitude plane crash is a much better way to go than say, drowning, or being burnt alive or buried alive. You won't know too much about it .....

The article doesn't say what you're suggesting. You won't die at 10,000 feet. Not from lack of oxygen, anyway.

I have skydived from 15,000 feet and didn't need oxygen.
