Army gunner, if you do ever read this again, if you train long enough, your body won’t just throw your arms up and go into fight or flight mode. I’ve been doing martial arts for 15 years and in high stress situations I still remain calm and my traing takes over. I also agree with kaon that striking the nose into the brain is a very difficult thing to do.

Although if I was on a plane when a zombie outbreak occurred I hunk a good weapon would be th fold down trays, they are in every seat and would work well enough to dispatch a zed or 2 and if it breaks you can grab another one, there’s going to be plenty.

This is a simple one. Make to it an emergency exit. Sit down and put on your lap belt. Then pop the door open. The vacume created will simply suck out the infected and the unprepared. Problem solved. There is a chance that the plane might get severly damaged but at least the chance of infection gone. Catastrophic failure from the rapid depressurization is unlikely do to the planes construction. Plus it will force the pilot to land ASAP. Meaning that the big airport you were headed to is now going to be a near by smaller airport. Your E&E plan is going to be fucked in this senario though. No Guns and No Gear in an AO that you have not prepared for. If you are smart you will have at least checked your firearm in your luggage (yes that is legal and you can even have ammo as well) so maby there is a chance that you get your luggage after landing……..MABY.

This is why i started carrying a cane with me whenever i go on a plane. It’s not hard to fake bad knees or something.

Alternatively, if the plane gets entirely zombie infested, either the zeds will somehow open up a door and jump out, hopefully splattering their skulls everywhere, or they will die upon crashing into the ground. Also, a crashing plane tends to have armed folks rushing to the scene. Police and the like.

I realize there’s no one still reading this thread but I thought I’d post anyway. If there is an air marshall on the plane and they feel there is a threat, they will draw and deliver a swift double tap to the head as trained. Too bad so sad if you happen to be between them and their target, greater good and all that, they will shoot through you. A zombie outbreak on an airliner won’t spread far.

If the pilots are dead the plane is dead

I’m amazed no-one’s mentioned the steward-carts. You know, the wagons with the incredibly overpriced canned sodas and peanuts? They are usually at least three feet long, making them hard for the zombie to reach across, and the wheels mean you can get some real impact behind the hit, even if it’s to non-vitals.

Also, passengers riding economy might have noticed that the available free space between the sides of the cart and the seats is sufficiently limited to render polishing of said sides unnecessary. Assuming you’re flying on a plane with even limited service, and an economy class, you ought to have at least two mobile, tight-fit roadblocks available. Position them at a choke-point, block the wheels so they won’t go backwards, then toss the beaten critters to the correct side of the block. And make sure to keep fending off the critters that might be trying to force their way past.

The downside here is that it requires the outbreak to take place at one of the extremes of the plane, so that there’s no zombies between you and the cart.

Kapuhi, you’re right. Died in the shower. Or at least was going thru human motions until a tasty bit came along. (memory vestige?) Time lapse after the bite was the key point I was trying to make.

As far as a 10000 foot fall, just make sure the undead doesn’t land in a bean field and the chances are 98% plus that massive trauma will render the brain in-op, and, on the 2% chance it’s not brain jello, the trauma will break 98% of the bones, rendering the shuffler in-op (as long as you don’t french kiss the broken jawbone….blech)

I don’t that the weight o a few dead bodies is going to throw the balance of a plane off enough to where it will cause a crash. Besides if throwing the luggage into the cargo bay the way that the baggage handlers do does do I doubt five or so bodies will.
On another note ZombieSlayer does have a valid point about throwing zombies out of the airplane. A human might die from blunt force trauma but the zombie’s brain could very well survive the impact and to the uninformed may look like an injured passenger and try to render assistance, become infected and end up spreading the infection.

they won’t get me they won’t get me I would rather fight and die
they won’t get me they won’t get me well my friend will they get you?
when they get you when they get you tell me what are you gonna do?”
