How come with you Americans anything boils down to terrorism?
What I am saying is in an EMERGENCY SITUATION such as loss of engine power or something that happened purely by accident (not terrorists) then a mobile phone can disrupt the emergency transmissions.
And I'm not saying that a mobile phone gives off smoke.... what are you on? The disturbances seen in radios could theoretically disturb the electronics in a smoke alarm causing a false alarm.
As for 9/11, what are you suggesting, that they set off fire alarms in the cargo hold... All that happens then is the HOLD is depressurised and whatever animals are in transit die. The cabin isn't depressurised, just the cargo hold.
If you can't arguing points that I haven't even made, theres no point in engaging further discussions. To quote your words.
Not necessarily. The plane would have to be in trouble to be receiving and sending emergancy communications. And as for the interference in fire alarms, all that will cause is a depressurisation of the cargo hold.
'Some places have safety-critical electronic systems: hospital heart monitors and aeroplane flight control systems are a couple of obvious examples. Less obviously, modern buildings are becoming increasingly 'wired', with the result that air conditioning, fire alarms and such like can be susceptible to interference. There have been several instances of mobile phones disturbing safety critical equipment, resulting in a real danger to life. Consequently the use of mobile phones near such equipment is usually banned.'
Incedently, is that why when i fry bacon the fire alarm goes off? But i bought a fire alarm, not a bacon alarm.
I have heard two possible theories on this. Both of which are only minor:
1) The distortion that you hear when a phone connects (on speakers etc) could, if the plane is in a serious situation and the pilot is communicating with a tower, mask an instruction and make it difficult to comprehend
2) Because on an aeroplane, a mobile/cell phone is far from a tower, so it broadcasts on full power. Theoritically, if it is sitting on the floor of the plane, the sensitive fire alarms in the cargo hold could be set off by a phone.
We all know about Jamie's 7-up machine robot. And in the special features on the Matrix 3 DVD, we can see Adam working a tower collapse for the dock fight in Xion. But what other things have you two worked on?
