Always wanted to fly in one of these. There should be supersonic commercial planes, absurd no one develops a viable solution.
 
Talk about a thread going a different direction....

I actually have drowning wayyyyy up the top of my list of possible ways. Won't happen, but compared to the rest, drowning seems pretty appealing. You inhale a bunch of water, pass out and dead. HOORAY!

Yea, getting old and rotting away from cancer sounds super. I'm with Fiver.
 
So mauling by Great White, trash compactor and tortured til death in town square Braveheart style all OK? Great!

Great White I can at least do battle for a short time, Tortured? Who would want to torture the monkey? Trash compactor, you got me there. A wood chipper would be even worse!

In a plane those last couple minutes going down your helpless with mind torture!
 
Drowning is supposed to be awesome. Pretty much anything that kills you through hypoxia without serious trauma to the rest of your body is supposed to be a pretty pleasant experience.

I was at an airport at one point that had one of these just sitting there...kinda like a monument. I was talking about how I always wanted to fly on one of those things. They looked super cool...

I wonder why nothing has been developed something like this for commercial use....is everyone afraid?
 
The problem with the Concorde is that the airports were not being developed with the aircraft in mind. It needs longer runaways to land and the most critical part is the noise. No one wants to leave next to an airforce base. The noise is deafening when it lands or takes off due to breaking the sound barrier.
