I would also dispute the 2-3 secs (my dad was also in the airforce and *I* was an Airman in the Navy) as the loss of consciousness is due to a lack of oxygen at that altitude and even completely submersed in water the body has a 15-30 second supply. <br /><br />I don't think there was a 'Mayday' call sent out because they were experiencing electrical problems and it is likely that they were not able to make such a call.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999474853784275785noreply@blogger.com
