    I'm unconvinced about the falling into volcano solution. Most of the human body is water, so the Liedenfrost effect would be significant. Rather than charring up like a piece of dried wood, one would likely bounce around the surface of the magma for quite a while, the steam from your boiling blood and organs acting as a buffer against the magma, until your soft tissues eventually evaporate.

    @marlacarr9892 6 років тому +4

    Actually there are several cases of explosive decompressions that have been caused on airplanes. As a flight attendant, I know that usually they are caused by metal fatigue. We are trained to handle the situation, as are pilots. In an extremely rare case a few people have been sucked out, and it is usually a flight attendant as they are moving about the cabin unsecured, but you are right, seat belts will protect you. A pilot will make an extremely rapid descent which will equalize air pressure. Oxygen masks will deploy which should be used as demonstrated as oxygen is too low at high altitudes to be adequate for proper breathing. The air pressure will equalize fairly rapidly, though the situation will be chaotic and extremely frightening. Of course, an emergency is immediately declared to air traffic control on a specific channel and the nearest landing place is cleared and prepared for an emergency landing. It is EXTREMELY rare these days, as maintenance crews and the FAA require stringent testing of the airframes to ensure their integrity. Just stay seated as possible with your seatbelt on, mainly to protect you from unexpected turbulance which can cause injury. 99.9% of the time air travel is safe, just do what your flight crews instruct you to do.

    Re: Internet shutting down - for a day, probably not a problem. Longer than that, it becomes an issue. Now, I'm just thinking for myself- I'm a chef for a senior living facility. Doesn't sound like a lot of internet, any use must be wasting time, perhaps. But everything I need to do is online, utilizing web-based desktops and apps. I would effectively not be able to use any office program or print anything. All ordering is done online, recipes online, payroll & timeclock, food safety checklists, phone system, all done via internet.
    So, one day without it, we can get by. Much more beyond that, we are not set up for ANY of it. And other businesses are the same... think of buying anything? How much cash do you have on hand? How can most companies process a credit/debit card?

    8:28 My uncle refused to bathe for over a year. The only thing he washed was his hands because he's "ocd". He continued to work at his job teaching children guitar. So this disgusting pile of trash I'm related to was in constant close contact with people and often in a very small room. He charged ridiculous amounts for lessons too. I feel bad for those kids. He actually ended up going into hospital where we found out he had congestive heart failure. He still wouldn't bathe for months after that. He'd never change his clothes either. He also had long hair that he wouldn't brush so it became a giant matted mess. After finding out he had the condition he decided he'd rather die than get it fixed so he moved into my house with my family so we could "take care of him in his final days." So I had the "joy" being forced to see and smell him 24/7.
    He ended up having surgery to fix his heart(he thought he was dying one night and decided he didn't want to die after all). It's been almost 3 years since he stopped bathing and he's only had 3 baths in that time. I honestly don't know how he had that open chest surgery with a filthy body and didn't come out with sepsis or something.

      THEY just might but it will be THEIR CHOICE.
      The REAL PROBLEM imho will be whether or how much those of us who are more self-sufficient (or at least willing to try) will extend assistance to them.
      I realize that there is a lot of industry that depend on FAST mass communication but the world managed before it existed...DUH

    Very late, however a commercial 737 jet did have a skin section of the roof tear off at 24000 ft on an flight in Hawaii. Most everyone had some injuries, a stewardess was suck out of the plane and never recovered.
    Seeing pictures of the plane its amazing that the entire thing didn't come apart.

    Does this mean that Neanderthals and Humans were technically the same species?

    On military operations we didn't wash for 72 days. At first we had terrible human body odour, after about 3 weeks we smelt like horses. (similiar to the pong of a stable in early morning) After about 9 weeks the odour of our clothing became rather rancid, somewhat like old cooking oil and that is about as bad as it got. We were operating in very hot semi desert conditions, so even rinsing was out as were were deep in enemy territory, and water pretty scarce, we didn't even brush our teeth for the whole operation. I cut my index finger almost to the bone attempting to open a ration tin with my knife, and figured the wound would go septic as I was filthy, but the cut healed normally without even a scar!When we got back to base and washed our uniforms they fell apart and we had to be re-issued with new. Actually the worst part of the whole ordeal was not having enough water to drink, washing wasn't even considered by most of us, being that dirty wasn't such a big deal.

    6:00 This has not always been true. A DC-10 had a cargo door blow open once because it was not properly locked. The door LOOKED locked, and even indicated it was properly locked, but this was a design flaw, they door could be locked without actually locking.
    The door blew open and the pressure caused part of the passenger compartment to collapse into the cargo deck. One person was sucked out of the air plane (his body was recovered in a farmer's field)
    Fortunately the plane was able to land safely. The FAA listed this as a non-fatal accident. Bonus points if you can figure out how this would be possible.

      Those all have back- up internal servers. We'd be safe.
      Most are off internet anyway for safety reason. (See what happened with the recent big companies hacks, like oil. Gvt agencies can't allow this to happen.
      There had been issues with hospitals too, but it can be argued that many now are just private companies).

    The world is a strange place... " what if Neanderthals survived" is something I think about. "What if the dinosaurs lived on as they were until modern day", I remember life without the internet as it is today, so to be honest and perhaps somewhat naive, I think we can survive, albeit with a drastic adaptive curve for atleast 10 to 20 years. "What if" scenarios are freaking AWESOME things to contemplate!!

    A section of roof panel tore off on an airliner near Hawaii several years ago...passengers were ok but a hostess was sucked out..
    The plane landed without incident...kind of a glowing recommendation of the way planes are designed (it was a long term maintenance issue with airline which operated the plane).

    The not bathing for a year bit, I'm not convinced it would be as devastating as described. My disabled and schizophrenic father does infact never completely bathe but he's managed to live and function. When I was young he bathed only for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but for the last 10 years he's done little other than wash his hands. Plus the yearly washing of his scalp with a dandruff shampoo
