They are ugly, ridiculous looking vehicles, clumsy and take up far too much room; probably also dangerous.

Last week, I was on a flight that depressurised (fun and games). We were told was there was a problem with the air conditioner, next thing you know we’ve got oxygen masks. So, 3 questions:

1) What does the air conditioner breaking have to do with cabin pressure?

2) What are the risks involved with decompression? (Slow depressurisation, not explosive.)

3) What are the actual statistics about planes’ depressurising? (How often does it happen?)

Ta :-)

I live in Germany, but I have insurance through an American company. This is what happened two days ago. While driving to work in the morning, a car came into my lane. The person was turning onto the Autobahn, but was turning to early. I swerved to the right to avoid a collision and hit a concrete wall. I believe that my car is now totaled. The other car did not stop and there was no one else on the road. All I had to give the police, was the make of the other car. I didn't get a plate or who was in the vehicle. It was dark and his headlights were bright. The police are investigating it, but no answers yet. My insurance is still waiting for the accident report. If they can't find the person who was driving the car, will my insurance still cover me for my loss? And what about my injuries?

I was told this once and I've been watching for it and it seems to be true. It doesn't seem to matter to men if it's a man or a woman. Anyone have any insight into this phenomenon?

My '01 BMW 325i doesn't have a feature to play my iPod. Can I take it to a retailer (Best Buy, Circuity City) to add a feature so that my iPod can be played in the BMW?

Or, does the '01 BMW 325i already has a iPod feature that I'm unaware of or didn't see???

A car salesman insisted that they had to run a credit check "by law" to sell me a new car, even though I was not applying for financing. I left, and want to confirm whether it's true or not before I visit the next dealership. This is in Washington state.

After I touchdown, I use full rudder either left or right [depending on the wind direction] and centre it when the nose starts to become aligned with the centreline on the runway. However, in most cases, the nose happens to kick back in the other direction after I centre the rudder; this causes my aircraft's nose wheel to touch down misaligned and the plane loses its line with the runway. I have to correct the aircraft again; however, I know that this is not the proper [nor the recommended] way to align the plane with the runway after touchdown~

I can figure how many gallons and the cost, between the averages: old - 28.5 mpg, new car 26 mpg. But as a sort of cross reference, if I round up to 3 mpg as the difference, then
how would I set up the problem if I drive 10,000 mi./yr. and if gas were priced at $3/gal. ?

I have 2002 trailblazer.
For the past year sporadically my car would die out when i would be at a stop, but would restart, no problem.
Recently it has been much more frequent, Not daily but when it does happen it is several times in that day. Now even when i put on the heat or radio it will die, but starts right back up.
