Re: Fact Checking Nelson's "Doors Of Death" light aircraft near death experience

Funny how it works out with people who once argued the event didn't happen are now merrily weighing in with satisfaction on how clearly the exaggerated story we always knew Nelson was telling just based on the variety of published accounts is evident of Nelson's lack of integrity or honesty. Never ...

Re: Fact Checking Nelson's "Doors Of Death" light aircraft near death experience

If you have a copy of or access to From Heart to Heart: An Autobiography , it would helpful to know what the book says about the incident. He wrote this in the preface of his 1979 autobiography: “The final nudge came as I was a passenger in a small airplane plummeting earthward with one of its two ...

At a minimum, this lends a lot of credibility to President Nelson's story.

Bullseye? Not even. https://web.archive.org/web/20120107042110/http://chriscarrollsmith.blogspot.com/2008/12/sheum-in-book-of-mormon.html Another thing - there is no evidence of any Old World plant species having been grown anywhere in the pre-Columbian Americas that would indicate any transoceanic ...

A technical question - in a twin-engine propeller plane is the performance of both engines connected? If one explodes does the second automatically stop?
No, the other engine would not have stopped.

Re: Fact Checking Nelson's "Doors Of Death" light aircraft near death experience

You’ve determined it’s just a “fantasy” without looking at a single document from the National Archives. It is just a fantasy. No different than Nelson's fantasy of a gun being held to his head, the trigger pulled and the miraculous misfire, sparing his life, all in an incident in Africa that was w...

Re: Fact Checking Nelson's "Doors Of Death" light aircraft near death experience

The bottom line: If whatever happened on Nelson's aircraft occurred before 1978 and was categorized as an "incident," we know that the chance of finding that event in the online databases is exactly zero before we ever run a query. That's not because an incident didn't happen. It's because the data...

Re: Fact Checking Nelson's "Doors Of Death" light aircraft near death experience

Is there some kind of point you are trying to make? Yes, thanks for asking. Please see my response to DrW. I see your response, and am still at a loss to see your point. Is your point an attempt to claim that in Nelson's tale, there might be no record in aviation related documents had it been an in...
