Comments on: 2012: a fantastic movie trailer!

A micro-burst can take an airliner and slam it on the ground. However it is a very concentrated phenomenon and you beat it by pulling up into the down rushing air. In effect using the energy of the micro-burst to power you away from the ground. Always point into the wind! Remember in a really strong wind you can fly backwards.

Pushing or pulling. When ever we cross mountains we get mountain wave, it is caused by the air mass flowing over the range. The auto pilot can work pretty hard to maintain altitude. Winds can be up to 200 miles per hour up there. There certainly would be some "pulling" effect from the earth dropping away but I suspect it wouldn't be that strong. A Cessna 310 (the aircraft in the trailer) IMO would power right out of it. They could have used it as a reason they went down tho! I don't think the scissoring buildings would have moved much air, and it would have been in the face anyway. Now all the debris falling? That would have been another story, fortunately it seemed to stop as they wisked through! LaVonne;

But I'm surprised you think it's believable. I really thought the air currents would be churned up by the earthquakes, and would suck that plane right into the hole. Well, that's what makes for edge-of-your seat movie-watching. I can hardly wait for the movie. Yes, a LOT of fun. But I’m surprised you think it’s believable.
