Lady Die 63 Posted August 16, 2005 A surprising number of Major plane crashes considering how safe air travel is supposed to be. I notice they didn't list the 9/11 crashes Glad I'm not planning to fly anywhere in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy 21 Posted August 16, 2005 A surprising number of Major plane crashes considering how safe air travel is supposed to be. I notice they didn't list the 9/11 crashes They are probably under the belief that all these crashes, as opposed to 9/11 (or 11/9 for those of us who do these things correctly) which was deliberate. But we know better, don't we Mr Bin Liner... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy 21 Posted August 17, 2005 Shock News. The bit about staying in your seats in order to help investigators identify bodies may not be that far removed from the truth. I recall reading, many years ago (which explains why I can't remember where) that life jackets are absolutely no use if a plane crashes in water, except to help searchers locate the site of the crash. They basically fly around looking for a circle of bright yellow jackets floating in the water - O marks the spot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted August 24, 2005 I understand that BA customers are hoping the catering company staff remain on strike and all flights get grounded again the good old interweb. I was trying to think of any BA crashes, and found the following: http://www.planecrashinfo.com/rates.htm You won't be catching me on Air China or Cubana any time soon. Or Air France for that matter, although that would have been true regardless of their safety record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted August 30, 2005 I see that France and Belgium have published lists of airlines that are banned from flying into their countries on safety grounds. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4194084.stm The French list comprises: Air Koryo, North Korea Air Saint-Thomas, US Virgin Islands International Air Service, Liberia Air Mozambique (LAM), including its subsidiary Transairways Phuket Airlines, Thailand Given the Concorde and Toronto crashes in recent years, it would seem the French should add Air France to theirs.

satboy 2 Posted September 5, 2005 Did they manage to shoot any looters while they were about it? Or does that only happen in countries engaged in civil war? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
