Cirrus Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 Did it survive? Yup. It was small point n shoot in a Lowe Pro case and it landed in a soft spot. (Years ago, I dropped a SLR off of a cliff. I watched it drop 40' then bounce off a grassy ledge and disappear outta sight. We found it about 300' feet down from where I dropped it and only the $12 filter was broken. Lowe Pro - worth the money.) Quote
kube Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 We used to know someone was getting fired when we heard the sound of a C30 hitting the floor at a certain Engine shop back in the day. The only thing I ever was lost was a bit of self respect at the Sumas Inn in Port Alberni. Quote
Heliman2 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 We used to know someone was getting fired when we heard the sound of a C30 hitting the floor at a certain Engine shop back in the day. The only thing I ever was lost was a bit of self respect at the Sumas Inn in Port Alberni. Aft sliding passenger door of a 204 into a lake close to Paint Lake (Thompson, MB). Salvaged it from the bottom of the lake. Only a scratch on the window...... Quote
