@Gleavage09 This test showed the effect of bombs while the cabin was pressurized, and also it helps development of better cargo pods, that are used today and can absorb the explossion of such devices.
-
Wasn't this to test what would happen if a bomb went off in a pressurised cabin? Or in the cargo hold... Something like that anyway.

Testing my ass, that's called blowing shit up and it's fun!
-
What was the point of this test?
-
@southwest1998 This test had nothing to do with any investigation into TWA 800. This was to test how an aircraft responds to a bomb in the cargo hold.

@theknightlynews not to sure why they used a L-1011 but i do know that the plane they tested on was completely useless, but as you can see it is very similar to a 747 wich was the plane that had actualy crashed previously due to an explosion in one of the center fuel tanks.

@noonedude101 I think it's safe to say more people will die elsewhere than will die on planes.
-
@southwest1998 If that was true, why did they blow up the L-1011? They were doing a generic test, and they could have used any airliner for that test, that's my point.
-
@theknightlynews No because they were doing an investigation for a 747 crash

This is what happens when your table tray isn't in the upright and locked position during takeoff.
Why did they have to waste an L-1011 like that. Couldn't they find a DC-10 to test on?
