Plane crash TV: Channel 4 to destroy passenger jet

I have to wonder how badly it would suck to bail from an airliner going 120+ knots. That's about the slowest most heavies can go without falling out of the sky.

Wow, I've heard of car crash television, but never plane crash television. Things must be getting desperate now that Big Bother's finished.

The report on the crash that prompted this TV program:<p><a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/12/heathrow_777_update/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/12/heathrow_777_update/</a><p>Crashing a functioning airliner on purpose seems kind of wasteful, I hope something that industry can use will come out of this.

Sounds like channel 4 are getting pretty desperate for viewers.

I dont agree that Boeing or Air but never did this.

There was a similar effort in the US in the summer of 2001.<p>We all know now what happens when a plane crashes.
