Passenger Holes

The ship's robot crew and artificial intelligence insist there's never been a malfunctioning pod, and as such there's no backup plan. Which is pretty hard to believe, considering the opulence of the ship. There is one singular medical pod with high-tech diagnosis and healing capabilities for more than 5,000 passengers?!?

Passenger Holes

While Pratt and Lawrence's star power is enough to get viewers through the film without feeling actively angry, the plot holes are huge and unavoidable (and that's saying something for a sci-fi flick).

Can you now imagine trying to breathe at the altitude aircraft cruise at? It would be impossible without an oxygen mask which is why aircraft cabins are pressurized. Passenger aircraft flying above 10,000 feet need to be pressurized so that passengers and crew can breathe normally. They can do this by pumping air into the cabin from the jet engines. Once the cabin attains the ideal pressure, it is then maintained via an outflow valve. If the plane's cabin exceeds the air pressure for which it is designed, the outflow valve will open and bleed air out. Once the correct pressure is achieved, the outflow valve will switch off.

While having an aircraft cabin pressurized to keep humans happy, it is not so good for the plane as it needs to have a way to release the pressure. This is where the tiny holes or what they call "bleed holes" in windows come in. If you take a close look at the window, you will see that it is not just one pane but three pieces of plexiglass. The innermost pane that you can touch is there to protect the middle and outer panes, which are specially designed to contain the difference in air pressure between the cabin and the outside air. The tiny bleed hole in the window helps to balance the pressure difference between the cabin and the outside air.

One passenger, Abdullahi Abdisalam Borle, died, according to Somali officials who did not give any details. A man's body was found in the town of Balad, 30 kilometers (about 18 miles) north of Mogadishu, according to police who said he might have been blown from the plane.

Had the blast occurred at a higher altitude, it could have led to explosive decompression on the plane, which might have caused more severe structural damage, and would have forced a more rapid descent because of limited supplies of oxygen to the passengers.

The Boeing 737 had arrived at Charlotte Douglas International Airportirport after flying from Philadelphia on Monday. Authorities grounded the plane, took it out of service and moved passengers onto other flights.

Conventional numerical techniques, used to study the acoustics of a car passenger cabin, treat the cabin as an isolated cavity excited by the cavity boundaries. Realistically, other cavity volumes such as the trunk communicate with the cabin through the holes in the parcel shelf of the car. An extended acoustic model of a car is formed by the cavity volumes of the passenger compartment and the trunk as well as air leakages through the holes provided for electrical devices and ventilation on the parcel shelf. In this study, the dynamic influence of air leakages between the passenger and trunk compartments on the first and second coupled system modes was investigated experimentally using acoustic frequency response function. The response to the acoustic excitation was measured for four different configurations of trim and holes of the parcel shelf. The natural frequencies of the first and second coupled system modes increased with increasing holes size with and without the trim of the parcel shelf. The experimental results were in good agreement with the reported results of coupling effects of double cavities connected by a neck. In the low frequency region since the wavelength is longer compared to the holes dimension, these holes act as point sources.

Analysis to clarify the influence of diesel nozzle hole specifications on HC emission is performed by using a single cylinder engine. The total nozzle hole area and the number of holes are the investigation parameters. The experimental results show that HC emission under low-load condition becomes higher with not only the increase of the total nozzle hole area but also the decrease of it. The reason for the increase of HC emission with small hole area is that the longer spray tip penetration of the pilot injection accelerates the spray diffusion in the cylinder, and the over-lean fuel-air mixture areas become easily formed.

Overall traffic on Steamship Authority ferries is either flat or down slightly for the year, but in fact peak-season summer traffic on ferries to the Vineyard - both passenger and automobile traffic - has been healthy.

Also, the patchwork of parking lots in Falmouth and Bourne that are used to service boat line ferries to the Vineyard were never completely filled this summer, raising some question about the recent statements by the boat line general manager about the need to shift passenger traffic to New Bedford.

Traffic statistics released by the boat line last week through the third week of August show that passenger traffic between Woods Hole and the Vineyard is down slightly for the first eight months of the year, compared with last year. A total of 1,497,831 passengers were carried on the Woods Hole run between Jan. 1 and August 21, a decrease of 5,586 from the previous year.

But passenger numbers for July and August alone show a slightly different story. In the month of July, the boat line carried 344,279 passengers on the Woods Hole run, an increase of 5,130, or 1.5 per cent over the previous year. In the first three weeks of August passenger totals were also up slightly on the Woods Hole run. Between August 1 and August 21, the boat line carried 246,157 passengers between Woods Hole and the Vineyard, an increase of 5,878, or 2.4 per cent.

A seasonal pilot freight program between New Bedford and the Vineyard was extended by two months this year, and SSA passenger service between New Bedford and the Vineyard was added when the boat line bought the ferry Schamonchi.

The Schamonchi passenger ferry also started out slowly during its first season under SSA management, in part because of a breakdown that put the boat out of service for the first week of June. The cause of the breakdown was a blown starboard engine.

Mr. Lamson said in July the Schamonchi carried 302 more passengers than last year (an increase of .9 per cent), and in August she carried 448 more passengers than last year (an increase of 1.9 per cent). A late (9 p.m.) trip on Fridays from new Bedford to the Vineyard has seen little use, and Mr. Lamson said the expenses are high in connection with the Friday night run because of overtime pay for crew and terminal staff.
