Will An Airplane Crash if its engines fail ??

Posted in Rantings at 10:12 pm by Leon

Recently after a very unpleasant aeroplane flight, i was wondering, would a jet plane crash if its engines fail ? Or rather would an aeroplane blow up in mid air ??

No doubt travelling by air is the safest means to fly. Actually my little bit of research found out that airplane engines are really really very safe, and having multiple engine failure at the same time is extremely air (note that most commercial planes fly with atleast 2 engines) In any case, if a multiple engine failure does occur, its mostly because of human error !

And when an engine failure does occur, a plane will not just drop out of the sky. That happens only in cartoons i guess ! Instead the laws of aerodynamics should apply and then the plane should glide down safely. If a plane does lose engine power, while cruising at normal speed and altitude, you’re probably going to land safely. So no fears about that

Actually the chance of multiple failures is so rare that they will most probably happen once every 10 years !

The most dangerous time to lose engine power is during take off and during landing. During take off, in most cases there is nowhere to land except in the adjoining city. And during landing, in most cases if engine power is lost the plane will land short of the runway

But again no fears, the chances of that happening are even more remote !

Nike/Adidas/Reebok/Puma/Fila ??!!??

Posted in Rantings at 8:53 am by Leon

I was searching for an answer to the following question. Its no big deal that all the big brands have half their factories in India, China, and other south asian countries. And then they also have a few factories in Canada, the US and some other European countries.

But I was wondering,does the country of manufacture play an important role in determining the quality of the product ?

I do know the company affirms that it has one quality, one standard worldwide, but would it be wrong to assume that the quality of the raw materials available in Canada/USA be much better than those in China/India ??

Need Good reliable health care insurance ? Does you company/state fail to provide you with comprehensive care ? Do you need more/better health care? Do you need to lower your health insurance premium rates ? In that case check out this place. It helps you select the best medical care possible for you and for your family, and it suits the pocket as well.

Personally i found the student’s page to be a bit of a relief. Especially since you will be far away from home most of the time. The traditional healthcare coverage is also very good. And the rates seem to be pretty reasonable.
