the tail rotor compensates the rotor couple preventing the chopper from spinning<span id='postcolor'>

Yeah I know, but the problem is that the tail rotor snapped off, probably from the force of the impact shaking the helicopter, I dunno whyt hough.

the thing is, if they had stayed on maybe the pilot could of autorotated and might of gotten out of it alive.

Actually wearing glasses only makes your eyes worse. Why do you think people keep needing thicker and thicker lenses? people don't get thinner and thinner lenses, do they?

Oh, and as for my friend, his vision was pretty terrible. He needed glasses to see, or things would be blurry. If he didn't have his glasses, he would have to squint pretty hard at things to see them ok. He was 22 at the time that he corrected his vision. Last I heard he has far better than 20/20 in both eyes.<span id='postcolor'>

thanks for the comedy<span id='postcolor'>

Hehe.

That logic about the thicker and thicker lenses is pretty funny.

IceFire, you should go to talk to an eyedoctor about your great theories. But maybe you should chek out this site before you go and make a fool out of yourself http://www.allaboutvision.com

I'll just laugh at it one more time.

Hehehoho.

Americans don't have a monopoly on ignorance.

edit: to think otherwise would just be, well, ignorant.

Already seen the "Achmed" one (which has gotten several different names, like "Afghan sniper training" and stuff), and the Glock one. I like the Glock vid, it's cool.

But that heli crash.. shit. Can almost feel the horror of the people inside... scary.

[Milkman 1]

I thought that helicopter video was scary. You can see the gunner try to escape just as it flips into the water.

You don't believe me??

It's so simple and you people insist that you are right.

You are wrong!

I already told you that it is better to improve your vision instead of getting glasses or surgery.

But noooo. That site you linked was a site for lazer surgery. Why don't you people go talk to an eye doctor, he'll tell you.

You people don't know anything but you all talk like you are all experts!

Go back to http://www.allaboutvision.com (it's not a site for lazer surgery) and click the

'Eye Problems & Diseases' on the left side of the page. Read the information carefully and then think is it really possible to cure all the eye problems just by training the muscles of your eyes.

Training the muscles of your eyes only helps a little and I highly doubt that your friend had a really poor eyesight. So if he had only a slightly bad eyesight caused by weakened muscles in his eyes then it's possible that he could improve his eyesight with training. If I take off my glasses I can see as far as 20cm without a blur and that's not because of weakened muscles of my eyes but because of myopia and astigmatism.

No IceFire I don't believe you.

I don't because I have damaged my eye and have spent quite a bit of time talking to doctors about it.

If you damage your eye, you cannot fix it on your own.

It can get a lot worse, but it cannot get a lot better.

mild damage can be fixed with time, the reason people don't need thinner and thinner pescriptions is because there will come a point where the doctor will say

"Done, you don't need em anymore" and thats it.

The reason people need thicker and thicker pescriptions is because everyones eysight will get worse with age and any damage to the Lens or the Retina will get worse a lot earlier in life.

I had a detached Retina.

Before the surgery I could not see with my left eye full stop

blurred so much if I closed my right eye I could only make out significant changes in colour.

After the surgery I can now read with my right eye closed this text from at least 2m away without the need for any higher fonts (this is on text size medium)

Mr.Milli, what you are talking about is that your eyes are "damaged".

That's not what I mean.

I am talking about simply poor vision. Just due to age, or strain or just plain having bad vision.

I'm not talking about if it is damaged or you have things disconnected in your eye.

[IceFire 0]

Oh, and Mr. Mad Dentist person, all those eye conditions are not what I am talking about. Those are all diseases and stuff.

I'm just talking about normal poor eyesight, far sightedness, nearsightedness, bad eyesight from stress on the eyes and whatnot, or just eyes that are a bit weak.

Believe it or not, most people who have eye trouble don't have any of those diseases listed, they just have bad eyes that arn't that sharp.

Could you please take a look at these pages: Myopia or nearsightedness, Hyperopia or farsightedness and astigmatism, the most common eyeproblem.

Those are the "normal" poor eyesight types you are talking about. Take a look what causes them.

[IceFire 0]

Yes, I just read them, and nowhere does it say that it can't be helped by strenghthening the muscles in the eye.

It reads pretty straight forward. The eyes are shaped a little elongated. So the vision is less focused in some aspect.

So?

[R. Gerschwarzenge 0]

Ok... I'll just go to strengthen my eyemuscles now.

Called a Glock 18, plus the rest of them can easily be modded for fullauto. <span id='postcolor'>

A: If this were true, all of us eye doctors would be selling simple exercise programs instead of glasses or contacts.
