Romney thinks airplane windows should open in case of fire

that makes about as much sense as a screen door on a submarine

I don't care whose politics you prefer, that comment is just stupid. Wait, sorry, it wasn't "elegantly stated."

oh boy... I don't expect the guy to be an expert on aircraft design - to know that that kind of thing simply wouldn't work... But I thought it was common knowledge that oxygen makes fires worse?!

And this man could be the leader of our country?

maybe he wanted the plane to burn so that he could say "OOOOPs there goes my tax records"....lol

Link takes me to the wrong article, here's another.

It appears the linking/sorting algorithm used by this software is the same method used by my kids in playing card games -- "just throw 'em in a big pile, scrunch 'em around, and deal 'em out. What don't you get about it, Dad?"

Ahhhh -- just goes to show you -- you can't take things too seriously.

If you have a fire do you really want to add more oxygen?

WOW!!!!

What?

A later clarification stated that he was joking. What else is he joking about? Well, there is always .....

I'm still voting for him.

Yanno, more than anything from the last admin, I miss the Bush-ism's.... While this might not quite be "Jungly" or "Nuklar", Its from the same page lmao.

Don't talk about what you know nothing about!

Can't really blame him for something he doesn't know. Ignorance is abundant, kinda like a lotta women and weenie men who think that a car's oil lasts a lifetime...

Romney mocked for airplane remark

“When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she’s safe and sound.”

I60% of your check going for taxes then another 19% VAT ( tax) on everything you buy. Fuel at $8.00 a gallon. Europe, our future. Greece and Spain. somebody has to pay for it and it will be those of us that collect a paycheck. Vote for the person you think can do the best job at navigating the upcoming storm.

He meant open so you can see what is going on outside, which exit to use.
I want my window (shades) open too. Most people don't understand it is a safety issue. Get the facts, basic 101 safety preparation.

WOW! If anyone has seen the video you'll all see that this was complete sarcasm.

I agree with Romney BTW

You think he was being sarcastic? This is a place for aviation not the 2012 election. Take it somewhere else.

Sarcasm does not translate in print.

Who are you calling stupid? Certainly not our 1st affirmative action prez who visited 57 states or the gaffe machine himself who can look at a guy in a wheel chair and tell him to stand up to take a bow.

You’ve already read a million opinions on this so I’ll keep mine brief and then skip to a video.
