Passenger falls out of private airplane flying above Biscayne Bay - NY Daily News

A search effort is underway after a passenger fell out of a private airplane some 2,000 feet above Biscayne Bay off the Florida coast.

The pilot of the TA 46 Piper Malibu plane called in a mayday to report a door ajar and a passenger that had fallen out of the six-person plane, a U.S. Coast Guard spokesman said. The plane was traveling around 200 miles per hour when the passenger fell out of the aircraft.

To me, this is the stuff of nightmares.

But, its a nice plane.

Fell out or jumped?

Fell out or jumped?

If they find this guy, will his head be bashed in?

I always wonder the same thing about hunting accidents. Some things are just a little too convenient.

You can bet the FAA will go over that plane with a fine-toothed comb. Probably bring in a forensics team.

I have a small child.
When we use a taxi, I always ask the driver to central lock the doors.

As for the man, 200mph forwards speed
Terminal velocity on a moment before impact so water may as well be a brick wall.

His chances are slim at best and, if his head was stoved in, who knows if it was the impact or a hammer?

Does anyone plan to blame this on Obamacare?

The argument against global warming, is as ridiculous as saying gravity played no role in this mans' demise.

Does anyone plan to blame this on Obamacare?

I will.
Obamacare has diverted government attention from improving locks on aircraft doors.

Lets do the math! Any Physics buffs out there?

Me too! His insurance company canceled his policy to jack more money from him with a new policy. And it's all Obama's fault!

Little planes aren't anymore dangerous than big ones. The Cirrus Aircraft has a parachute! It's the pilots/training/experience which fall short of professional pilots.

That's a substantial hunk of aircraft. You should try flying a Cessna 150 on a cross-country flight!

No thanks! I prefer to fly above the storms than around them.

Storms?

My VFR license wouldn't let me near them. Or over them LOL.

Looks like the plane was safe, but the passenger was not...."Gerardo Nales, 42 - of Key Biscayne - either fell or jumped from the TA 46 Piper Malibu after he opened a door" He purportedly stated, "Goddamn it that first step.........."

Man who reportedly fell from plane off Florida coast identified, search continues for body: officials* - NY Daily News

 

[hjmick]

Most likely he jumped, that'd be my guess.


A guy jumped out of a helicopter in California just last week.

 

[Mr. H.]

Wonder if either one of them yelled "Geronimooooooooooooo......"

 

[Billo_Really]

I will.
Obamacare has diverted government attention from improving locks on aircraft doors.

And maybe the guy was killed before he ever got on the plane by the Colombian's, then they stuffed his body full of coke and chucked him out of the plane to an awaiting speedboat for distribution in the country.

It's the new way their smuggling drugs into the country. If DEA is getting close to bringing you down, just chuck a body out the door and they have to convert their chase to a rescue mission.
