Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted July 2, 2015 Both engines failed according to Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council. The crew 'tried to restart one... to no avail'. It's looking like a repeat of Kegworth; no.2 engine failed and no. 1 was shut down in error. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9JarHTIAAAgAy3.jpg:large Official report confirms this The report says that in a cockpit recording, the pilot is heard saying: "Wow, pulled back the wrong side throttle." 'Wow' is hardly the term I would have used. 'Oh Jesus fucking Christ' would have been a bit more appropriate, eh. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotten Ali 600 Posted November 6, 2015 I wish the media would stop thinking this plane crash was due to a bomb. The evidence will mostly show out in time. (Unless it's a construct to suit evil political re-actions) As an engineer, from the photos I have seen, the remains show no signs of blast and burst effects. Only splits at rivet joint locations. Not ripping and bursting mid panel that a bomb would cause. The plane had a tail strike repair in 2001. The plane split in two major bits at this very area. I'm quite sure that a sub standard repair is the start point of the investigation. The flight path shows it gained height after the first fall. That, to me, would say that they suffered a decompression that was was semi recoverable but then the stress of recovery of altitude was too much for the damaged section which finally separated. It's said the co-pilot was voicing concerns about the state of the plane. The debris field is more useful. Explosions spread a wide pear shaped damage zone. This, however so far, shows two distinct areas of main section and tail. Again, any found bodies or suitcases between the two areas would definitely be more likely show blast injuries if it were a bomb. No one has said anything about such evidence. Thus... The government is full of toffs who have no real world experience. They (our own government) are the major danger here. Upsetting people and spoilling their holidays. Not to add, crashing the local tourism industry. As an aside, they cover the arses of big business, VW group, by saying that owners need not pay higher road fund duty on higher exhaust emissions. If this duty were back dated, many millions of car users would righty be hit in their pocket for owning filthy diesel engined cars. The resulting revenue could then be ring fenced to invest in clean energy production. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
One shot Paddy 1,206 Posted November 6, 2015 Tail strike coming back to haunt was what I was thinking too, about 12/15 years ago the same thing happened to a 747 (think it was China Airlines) about 20 years after a botched tail strike repair and poor maintance.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted November 6, 2015 Oh, and if a bomb is placed in the rear of the rear cargo area (say area 5 of 5) then the plane splits in two, between the rear mid-section, roughly 2/3rd between the rear of the main wing mountings and the 1st of the rear bulk heads. The tail consists only of the galley, rear doors and area aft of the last row of seats, (spilt exactly before the rear loos). Black comedy allert. You know who the next bit is for? It would be tragic to be sat on the loo as you feel a number of large cracks, then find you really have joined the mile high club... Anyway. As far as I can see no seats are in the tail section wreckage. Only the loos sink unit on the port side. In reality this tail area has no baggage area below the floor so that the plane can "rotate" or land without dragging its own tail. Done deal... I've seen even more photos today that again show no panel bomb burst damage. However, in the roof section, I can detect has a wicked 45degree bend aft and finally upward with a torn edge consitant with my deduction with the plane folding into two. A full main cabin section with wings still producing lift. And a full tail section including the stringer ring that would be attachment where the forward face of 1st rear bulkhead would mount. During break up, in a nose up climb and an over-the-top detachment throwing the tail section to the ground at greater speed. The mostly intact front section would continue to climb, then stall, back flip, and go into a long loop to the ground with an added rotation co-efficient roll to put it upside down when it hit the ground almost vertically under the final stall position. Fully 5km beyond the tail. Because of the added moment placed into the tail section during separation, the rear tail planes and a large area of the vertical tail would be ripped off. These light/large surface area parts would spiral down and show again more where the break-up happened than any 'glide' profile of the largest winged section. Thus find these bits and the rest of the destruction can be better understood. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
