Somebody wasn't paying attention to their storm radar, or their weather report. You don't get hail at 35000ft.

If the actual hail coming at the pilot didn't make him drop his ass than the flight characteristics changing with the dents in the wings would have probably done it.....and I bet you those passangers aren't thinking it was such an "EASY" flight with Easy Jet. :lol:

That's why small planes like the Cherokee I fly don't have them -- the air from the prop clears the screen.
Besides, if it was bad enough to use them, you'd be IFR anyways.

Other stuff:
- Most people associate a plane "stalling" with the engine dying. (no)
- People think big planes nowadays can pretty much land themselves. (no)
- Many people think that most planes drop like a rock if the engine dies. (no)
