We all heard of the recent Icelandic volcano explosion and how chaotic it is on in the sky. But how, in the hell that they got stuck? There were many alternatives, and one of them is by driving. It has already been proved by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May that flying in a plane from Milan to London in a boeing 737 isn't as fast as going in a Bugatti Veyron, and a plane ticket cost a lot more than tons of fuel. You may argue that the Veyron is the fastest car in the planet, but it is still a car. I bet that a G-Wiz will not be more than 5 hours behind the Veyron, that is that the G-Wiz made it to London.
The news all said that passengers were stuck all over Europe and for god's sake, they are nonsensical. Take F1 as an example. Most of the team got stuck in Shanghai. But those brittering idiots did not take a more convinient route: Fly to Russia, then drive a Scania all the way to England! Instead, they waited until the ban was lifted! Then, there is MotoGP, fancy postponing the Japan race because of the plane issues. Oh for crying out loud, they could have just flew from Turkey or UAE!
People who got stuck in the Changhi Airport should just fly to somewhere like Istanbul or Moscow then take a taxi back!

Wei Ran, i personally feel that you are treating reality as a joke which is terrible. Basically, what you are trying to tell us is that taking a plane is less efficient than in taking a car.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS NONSENSICAL, you compared one of the best cars in the world to a heavy passenger plane.
Think it like this: A Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor races against any car in the world.
The state-of-art plane will easily out-strip the car.The F-22 Raptor is a fifth generation fighter that is considered a fourth-generation stealth aircraft by the USAF. Its dual after-burning Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 turbofans incorporate pitch axis thrust vectoring, with a range of ±20 degrees. The maximum thrust is classified, though most sources place it at about 35,000 lbf (156 kN) per engine. Maximum speed, without external weapons, is estimated to be Mach 1.82 in super cruise mode; as demonstrated by General John P. Jumper, former US Air Force Chief of Staff, when his Raptor exceeded Mach 1.7 without afterburners on 13 January 2005. With afterburners, it is "greater than Mach 2.0" (1,317 mph, 2,120 km/h).
Compared to the raptor, any car will be absolutely and without doubt, ridiculous in front of it. With a Combined thrust of 2120 km/h the Veyron will look like a puffy old grandmother racing against a young and athletic man.
Also, please do not incorporate top gear into this as it is not relevant.
