A2 Hafiz Suboor, Jun 18 It's not other people's job tolove you; it's yours. You will only ever live the lifeyou create for yourself. Some kind of failure alwaysoccurs before success. Instead of asking others tounderstand you, you should be spending time understanding yourself You don't have to wait for anapology to forgive. Don't say 'maybe' if you want tosay 'no'. Some people are simply the wrongmatch for you. Being busy does NOT mean beingproductive. Thinking and doing are two verydifferent things. Time is a great healer and agreat killer. You'll suffer a lot if you waste time Q3 Whatare some amazing facts about airplanes? A3 Atharva Dave,Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, IndiaUpdated 3y 1.When a plane lands at night, cabin crews will dim theinterior lights because in the unlikely event that the plane landing goes badlyand passengers need to evacuate, their eyes will already be adjusted to the darkness. 2.Only 5% of the world’s population had ever been on anairplane till 2013 which drastically increased to approx. 20 percent in 2020. 3.A Boeing 747 is made up of six million parts whichare made to be all controlled by a few pilots sitting up front with switchesand buttons under their fingertips. 4.It is the rule that pilots must be fed the samemulti-course meal given to those in the first and business class whilst theco-pilots are encouraged to eat different entrees to guard against cases offood poisoning. 5.Those white lines that planes leave in the sky are simply trails ofcondensation, hence their technical name of “contrails.” Plane engines release water vapor aspart of the combustion process. When that hot water vapor is pumped out of theexhaust and hits the cooler air of the upper atmosphere, it creates those puffywhite lines in the sky. It’s basically the same reaction as when you see yourbreath when it’s cold outside. 6.Environment inside an airplane actually alters the way food and drinktastes—sweet items tasted less sweet, while salty flavors were heightened.The dry recycled air inside the plane cabin doesn’t help either as low humiditycan further dull taste and smell making everything in a plane seem bland. 7.Plane doors can't actually open in mid-flight. My note- It may be correct under normalcondition. On emergency? 8.Australian airline Qantas has never had a fatal accident involving oneof its commercial aircrafts. 9.The fastest commercial planeflew at twice the speed of sound. It was the Concorde, that regularly flew overthe Atlantic, and was decommissioned after an accident involving Concorde, inFrance. 10.Long-haul flights have secret bedrooms and a bathroomfor flight attendants. 11.Living in an airplane flight path couldharm your heart. Means closer to the airport. Individuals exposed to noise above 60 decibels on a regularbasis—like the sound of an airplane overhead—had a 30 percent greater risk ofdying from a heart attack than those typically exposed to noise levels under 45decibels. 12.Research shows that the first 3 minutesafter take off and the final 8 minutes before landing are when 80% of planecrashes happen. 13.About 1 in 5 people have some form of fearof flying, or “aviophobia.” 14.If you sit at the back of anairplane, your odds of surviving a crash are 40% higher. 15.What that tiny hole in the airplane window does is to regulate cabinpressure.Most airplane windows are made up of three panels of acrylic. The exteriorwindow works as you would expect—keeping the elements out and maintaining cabinpressure. 16.Airplanes are designed to withstand lightning strikes.
