Stunt plane hits water hard

[Matijahs]

Press 6: SLASH xD

[Leofox94]

hm, just 3 of 6 billion people died. makes no sense.

[maggot12190]

this was my uncle he dident jump out to keep the plane from going near the crowd i was 6 when this happened

[tarrizzzzzzzzz]

@maggot12190 how could you possibly know that was the reason he didn't jump out?

[daniel15869453]

good landing ^^

[basimpsn]

He try a knife edge landing.

[sneakytouchyourplace]

I saw one once where the pilot jumped out into the water and survived. said being in a plane when it hits water is almost as violent as hitting dirt, minus the fire.

[xstuartmillsx]

did the one side of the wing come off ?

[JohnPaulKechler]

I was there.... it was awful... his wife was the anouncer for the stunt show..

[xpj67]

JohnPaulKechler this isn't the one with the guys wife announcing, that one smashed into the ground. it's on youtube too though

[SenorSpode]

Correct. That would be the Partenavia P-68C in Plainview, TX on Sept. 11, 1983. Pilot exceeded Vne by 27 knots and pulled suddenly on yoke, breaking wings.

[brandondallas]

NOt funny

[pinchecabron666]

lol what a dumbass

[KikoSPAIN]

imbecil

"With his wife and three children among the thousands watching in horror, and with KDKA-TV's cameras rolling, a stunt pilot performing at the Three Rivers Regatta on Aug. 4, 1996.

The body of the pilot, Clancy Speal, 43, of New Alexandria, Westmoreland County, was recovered two days later. He had flown more than 1,200 hours at air shows.

Cracks at the base of one of the planes wings were thought to have contributed to the crash."

@CRWTower

Cracks in the wings? And no one did anything about it before the flight?

[GaboBoy6]

how is water that hard

[TejasRCpilot]

surface tension, kinda like when jump off the diving board and land flat on your back

[Armuotas]

not the surface tension but fluid viscosity + inertia. when you hit water it cant move around you fast enough so you have to push it. here comes inertia into play. 1m2 of water=1ton, and thats alot of mass to move in a fraction of the second. so it depends from your mass/strength which one hits harder the other one ;))

[budgeX2]

??? thats confusing and i thought i was smart :-(

[jordan8705]

Also the water is not compressible. When you reach higher speeds, steel becomes more maleable than water.

[Reegoskeepinitcool]

and jelly becomes harder than steel.

[JesperA86]

@jordan8705 Totally false, i cant believe this myth is still going

[philosofiza]

@JesperA86 jordan has simplified a little but but is essenially correct, a combination of surface adhesion physics (the difficulty of breaking a materials surface tension) and the coefficient of restitution. All very geeky and not my field of kinetics. A paper dart which i could crush against my hand at low speed can pass through steel plate when traveling fast enough (fired from rail gun usually in vacuum)

[flycubfly]

liquid does not compress.

[kinsley2108]

much.

[skiscope]

It does slightly

[ericclapton36]

Everything can compress, just takes much more force than something like air.

But you are correct in that when involved in most examples, air is "considered" incompressible.

[bri8774]

I think you're talking about Clancy Speal.

[rnbeechhut]

I think it was a catastrophic structural failure a the wing root during an airshow rountine. The pilot perished and unfortunately his family was present....

Prayers for them and Godspeed!

[kirkmach32]

Anybody got some q-tips

[HERETICAL]

fatality

[ramdak]

I think I see that has a wing missing, maybe it broke in air...

[Maverickf22flyer]

Wonder what were he's last thoughts running he's mind, as he was watching the water comming in numbered seconds...! Nothing compares to the time when you have to get back on earth again, if you have to make it as the last time...! RIP if he didn't make it...!

[eferberto]

se cagó en su madre!

[saify1996]

god

omg
