This is insane.
At least 5 redundancies failed: the Ram Air turbine, primary and secondary ejection sequences, the parachute, and his survival pack went missing. And yet Mr. Judkins survived maybe because he had spleen removed. Amazing.
- qume 9y agoActually the RAT worked (the emergency electrical generator). My team is working on building one of these auxiliary generators right now, fun project. Earlier this year I deployed a RAT by mistake (poor mechanical design) and I believe it died as we were flying too fast for it (poor electrical design)
- mavidser 9y agoThe RAT actually worked. It was what made the radio come back online.
- DonHopkins 9y agoThat's 6 failures, assuming that's why he had to have his spleen removed.
- 24gttghh 9y agoHis spleen was removed after an auto accident prior to the flame-out.
