Brian Mulroney's A300 French-Fried Air Bus(t) is an extremely BAD DEAL for Canadians. The Free World Press team Jamaica was subjected to a most unpleasant experience on board this poor excuse for an air-pain, this flying death trap.
This air crapft wouldn't be so bad if the TVs were removed from the ceiling (overhead bulkhead), half the seats were removed, and the seats were larger, with more comfortable padding and more reclinability. The aisle isn't built for the passengers, it's only there for the crap carts. It should be wide enough for two to pass easily, with bags.
Then there is simply structural integrity. The doorways and ceilings are all under size of normal building standards for safety.
I'm sure it doesn't pass fire code regulations for number of persons per square foot. If this were a theater, a bar, a hotel or a meeting hall, the fire marshall would have something to say about "fire safety regulations." People have to have clear avenues for escape, and buildings are on the ground.
Common sense would dictate that a craft in the air is inherently more dangerous than a building on the ground and should therefore be built with safety as the prime concern.
It's as if they don't expect you to survive, so the plane is made of cheap, highly flammable, plastic materials. These materials give off dense, toxic smoke making escape over the falling, scrambling crowd unlikely.
Too many people, flimsy seats like folding chairs that don't really recline, low ceilings with obstructions, narrow and short door openings, narrow little trails for aisles, inability to see the floor or move in the crowd, all this adds up to one very large safety question! How could it get worse?
On top of that, the flight crew expect untrained and inexperienced passengers to operate aircraft safety equipment and emergency exit doors that, it has been reported to the Free World News, come off inside the plane in the face and lap of the window (emergency door) passenger and weigh about 40 pounds each. There are a few of these in the plane.
Can you see it? Some little girl in the pandemonium, gasping in the dense smoke, trying to get the door open in the crush, and having it fall on her, pinning her until someone pulls it off into the plane, for others to fall over? It's been reported to us that this happened just recently in the southern US.
That's right. Those little plastic masks that drop down to give you something to do are attached to a chemical canister, not an oxygen bottle. The chemicals in the canister combine through heat to create chemical oxygen and range in temperature from 400-900°F. This is mounted in the melting plastic overhead, above your seat, with your carry-on baggage, blankets and other flammable materials.
On top of all this, they regularly spray the interior of this aircraft with D'Phenothrin and/or Diethylenetriamine UN2079 plastic resin hardeners. These are the solvents used to make plastics. What effect they have on the plastics making up the plane is unknown.
Without your informed consent, they spray these toxic, noxious substances on you without any warning or explanation in the A-300 airplane through the ventilation system. The air conditioning is turned off. The gas is forced into the enclosed, and cut off from outside air, chamber of the air-pain passenger cabin under the compressed pressure of the canisters.
Why would they lock you in an airtight chamber and spray you "Auschwitz style" with toxic gas that causes serious health problems? I had waves of nausea and dizziness with extreme irritability for four weeks after landing in Toronto; other people have died. You just might, may, possibly, perhaps, maybe, maybe not, but we can't take any chances, have ... Cooties! That's right! They're using these chemical toxins of the plastics industry for, you guessed it, bug spray! This is the same excuse as Auschwitz.
They're using this stuff because it dissipates quickly, is what they say. You and I know nothing dissipates, it accumulates. Where is this plastic solvent attaching itself? Is it coating the inside of the ventilation system? How can they clean that?
Is it seeping into the flammable plastic and artificial fabrics that make up the plane's interior? What about the insulation in the walls of the plane? Are these residues of flammable substances accumulating throughout this Air Bus(t)? Does this contribute to the flammability? Is this thing really a plastic wick soaked in chemicals, a fireball waiting to spontaneously combust?
The real kicker to how really bad this "unsafe at any altitude" French-built rip-off is that it is computer controlled. As reported to the Free World News, sometimes, if the computer decides it doesn't like the way the pilot is doing something, it takes over the aircraft and the pilot cannot regain control.
The Free World News understands that at the Paris Air Show debut of the A-300 Airbus, the computer took over. The results of this were tragic. The expert test pilot entered the wrong code into the computer auto-pilot (pile-it) by 2 digits or maneuvered the plane abruptly, anyway he ended up in a struggle for control of the plane with the computer. The French designers left him without manual override. The plane flew a few feet above the runway refusing to land, right off the end of the runway into the trees, and crashed itself in a sickening fireball; everybody died.
Just recently an A-300 over Atlanta was coming in for a routine landing. The computer took over, rocketed the engines power, took off and went around for another landing pass on its own, out of control. The tower, the pilot, other air traffic, the reality of the situation, and the lives of the passengers and people on the ground be damned, technology rules, bullshit and political opportunism baffles brains.
