It's about bloody time! These passengers think they can just expect to breath when they get up in altitude. What do they think this is, a complimentary service!! Pay for your oxygen, you freeloading bastards!!

Thanks for the info, I can see that a long ellipse would be more practical and stable.

Great work! I'm impressed to see the Falcon 9 is powerful enough to get a satellite that far out in space. Normal geosync is out around 36,000KM. That's some rocket!!

Just wanted to add my own farewell to a hero, one of the 'Right Stuff' guys. RIP Lt. Col. Carpenter!

Good point! It's been mentioned elsewhere that Asiana has closed ranks around these guys, but if the NTSB does its job correctly, we should get the truth.

While I agree that some of the comments can be badly put and seem biased against a group or culture, you have to remember this is the internet, where not everyone is a 'professional' writer. Having said that, when it comes to the cockpit, this problem of high and low ranking officers not communicating because of an outmoded hierarchical structure in some Asian and Middle Eastern cultures has been responsible for many fatal accidents. And that is something people who are interested in airline safety SHOULD be talking about.

I get an even stronger feeling that pilot error is the key to this crash. If there was a history of malfunction with the auto-throttle on this plane (something which has very conveniently just surfaced), it should have made the flying pilot super aware of monitoring airspeed/throttle position.

The page has now loaded properly and I scrolled down and saw the answer to my question. So don't worry.

OK, dumb question. Wouldn't a cargo door open light have been on the whole time? The report said the light came on "right after takeoff."
