"It's not gay if you're underway."

Yeah, but they're not. They are standing on the pier beside the vaunted "domestically built warship". So...

A true WTF? if you ask me (I apologize you have to watch the 15" commercial in advance):

He hit the "full rudder deflection button"? Located right next to the door open button? Bullsh!t.

here's a pic of the panel...interesting configuration, especially if it isn't mounted upside down.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the post.

But still... WTF? For different reasons. 1. Engineering. 2. Verify which knob first.

M2, you're just pissed that they cropped you out of the picture.

Wrong-o, old friend; who do you think that is in the upper lefthand corner? The weaponry should have been your first clue...

And the Texas license plate should have been your second! :rock:

So...if/when there really IS some kind of cataclysm that turns real life into some sort of Mad Max world, will those people feel stupid or vindicated???

I like how he "didn't see the ferris wheel until he hit it." WTF...either you're completely blind or you really like to stare inside the cockpit for gratuitous lengths of time. Glad nobody was hurt though.

Not sure how ANA does it but we have a Flight Attendant on the flight deck with us and we let them open the door. I've never used the unlock switch to open the door.

Placement-wise, each airline designs it a little different. Our door unlock switch is located to the right and behind the rudder trim. Still not sure how you could mistake the little knob which is locked unless you lift it then rotate the knob with the larger trim control with no lock. Stranger stuff has happened, I guess. Lucky they didn't seriously hurt someone or tear up the jet.
