Friday the 13th did take its toll on one airline yesterday, in Singapore at Changi Airport. An Arrow Air DC-8-62F Cargo plane was coming into land, but overran the runway in the wet conditions at the airport.
N1804 was coming from Yokota, Japan.

Not surprised…everybody knows an arrow lands nose first !

RE: Friday the 13th, did strike yesterday!
I used to think it was crap too.
But then I changed my mind this Friday.
I woke up late, about 8.15 AM. I rushed into the shower and decided to shave in the shower to save time. Well for the first time in over 2 years, I cut myself shaving. Blood everywhere. So I cleaned up, jumped into the car and headed for a traffic jam. Sitting in stationary traffic, I was jolted forward – some joker had pressed his accelerator in stationary traffic. I got out, and discovered a colleague of mine had done it and she was a jibering wreck.
I then got to work and at 9:03 AM got an earful from a client about how bad our service was (which it wasn’t – a bank had messed up and everyone was trying to cover their backsides).
Anyway, nothing to do with aviation, sorry. Can I redeem this thread by saying that maybe my luck on Friday was pschosomatic – ie. maybe I subconsciously thought things would go wrong, so they did. This can happen to pilots and ATCOs I suppose!
Certainly made me think!
