Pilot’s DSLR Jammed Airliner Joystick and Caused it to Plummet, Investigation Finds
Dozens of military personnel were injured when an RAF transport plane on its way to Afghanistan nose-dived 4,400ft after the captain's camera became lodged alongside the aircraft's joystick. In 27 seconds of chaos, the plane lost 4,400ft in altitude, throwing passengers and crew without seatbelts towards the ceiling, injuring 33 of those on board.

The pilot is a klutz. How the heck can the "seat move forward" by itself...Why would any driver place an object anywhere near the side stick.....I think this pilot should be kept away from sharp objects and breakables. Reminds me of this "an accident waiting for a place to happen"....
Something that usually happens in those Airplane movies.
After more than a century of aviation, it is known by pretty much every living person that aircraft can abruptly go up, down, sideways, etc., and some of those persons continue to refuse to keep seatbelts fastened. Every time an aircraft hits wind sheer and someone is injured, it is always either a passenger without their seatbelt fastened or a passenger smashed by the flying body of the person without the seatbelt fastened. I don't like people being hurt, but you can't fix stupid.

No, keyboard is fine. There is no Morse Code for ? or !
It depends a little on the variant you use, but:
? is ..--..

? is ..--..

Thankyou James! As you have just proved, one is never too old to learn something!
Nor too late for me to comment on an old thread, I guess. ;-}
