Controlled impact demonstration
Reason
image is of poor quality, crop is poor, and uncropped image exists as well. Considering the cameras NASA has, this is a terrible shot.

  • Conditional Support based on the success of lack thereof of the current nomination. As stated there, the cameras NASA had at the time are likely not equal to the ones they have now. Also, they don't go smashing up jumbo jets on a regular basis, so the difficulty of reproduction compensates, in my view, for these technical short comings.
Edit history indicates above unsigned statement made by Cowtowner.
Umm, is that conditional keep or conditional delist? Nezzadar [SPEAK] 05:43, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I intended that to be a conditional support of the delist. However it's now a delist. Cowtowner (talk) 02:06, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delist; Crop is very unfortunate. Uncropped image or less cropped image is much better as it reveals the context (i.e. demonstartion rather than real accident)

  • Comment The crop is definitely unfortunate, I would be in favor of delisting the crop if the uncropped was promoted. This is a controlled crash test done in 1984, so I don't buy the "nasa has better cameras" crap, for the cost of one of these jets and to setup a test like this this would of been the best high-speed camera setup around in 1984. Probably best not to be injecting your POV that you think nasa had better cameras at this time but decided not to waste them on a mega-exensive test like this, because that is all it is, your opinion, not backed up by any facts. — raeky (talk | edits) 08:01, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
