LOL Yeah kinda cruel but still funny as hell could have gone with out throwing it agianst the wall

[ATISTANG]

thats funny shit, they need to do that with a dog

not in space its on a plane going in a sine wave. at the tip of the sine(or cos) wave there is 0 gravity at a certain agle(counteracts earths 9.81m/s^2) making them look/feel weightless.

While that sounds great, the only time you are weightless in a plane is when the plane is free falling. It doesn't counteract earth's gravity; it merely reduces all forces acting on the plane to just the force of gravity, so everything in the plane is free falling (and is "weightless" relative to the plane).

so were they in a free falling plane? or in space?

I don't know. It doesn't much matter, however, since shuttles in orbit follow the same principle.

while in orbiting the earth in space you are free falling. You are just moving so fast that you are falling around the surface of the earth making it seem as though you are floating
