Somebody wasn't paying attention to their storm radar, or their weather report. You don't get hail at 35000ft.

If the actual hail coming at the pilot didn't make him drop his ass than the flight characteristics changing with the dents in the wings would have probably done it.....and I bet you those passangers aren't thinking it was such an "EASY" flight with Easy Jet. :lol:

Wipers are only good on the ground or at low speed (taking off/landing). In flight you can't get rain to stick to the windscreen. Water runs off like it was RainXed.

That's why small planes like the Cherokee I fly don't have them -- the air from the prop clears the screen.

Besides, if it was bad enough to use them, you'd be IFR anyways.

It's funny, but in all honesty...I've heard a lot of people say some silly things, not because they're stupid, but usually they are misinformed. That's the only reason I offered the info.


Other stuff:
- Most people associate a plane "stalling" with the engine dying. (no)
- People think big planes nowadays can pretty much land themselves. (no)
- Many people think that most planes drop like a rock if the engine dies. (no)
