I almost missed it. But I'm sure they will rerun it a hundred times them Science ch will pick it up. Ect Ect

Well I too would've thought If testing crash data for future engineering and design that a newer model would of been used. I use to work in Boeing's NASA and Defence sector and I will say this. They are some tight ass ?! @

I saw the show last night.
Their goal was NOT to see what happens with that model aircraft, it is in general, "What happens in a large aircraft in a sorta controlled test?"
Usually, they have some basic flight data and the resulting mess, but no real clue of many other factors.
The test yielded worthwhile data for use in the future, both "post accident" as well in newer designs.8)
PS, I found it humorous that the radio had a "150' range"....really??:roll:

I just watched most of it. Pretty cool. I only fly Southwest and usually go to the back of the plane. I will continue this practice.

Yeah, I'd like to think that there was some real data to be learned from using a 727. The engineers on the show were saying that the 727 was the grand father of modern jumbo jets and that the DNA still lives on, I'm not convinced of that. I used to work on nacelle structures for 737 and 747. We were just getting into 787 assemblies when I was permanently laid off, there was NOTHING in common between everything else and the 787's.
