RE: Lockerbe

nah… Andy edited his post…

It originally said something along the lines of…

—————

Was Lockerbe (can’t remember the spelling) the worst air disaster to date?

Were there surviors, and were there any changes to cabin equipment (particularly seatbelts) made as a result of this?

—————–

Now, I’d say he just got confused, and, on realising his mistake, just erased his original question. But you’d have to ask him, I suppose…

RE: Lockerbe

what the hell are you on about? you been sniffing something? :S

Lockerbie was a bomb, seatbelt length wouldn’t have come in to it…

RE: Who is launch customer for the A380

I’m not sure either… wasn’t it Singapore who were first to confirm engine model?

I kinda assumed it was them… :S

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-10-02 AT 11:35 PM (GMT)]Lufthansa does them, although I think they require German language skills.

I’ll bet most airlines do… there are usually some good ads in Flight, I’d say keep looking…

RE: Snow!

yeah, but his Office Firewall won’t let him download pics to his office computer…

RE: Some nice pics for you all!

nothing wrong with the A330… 😉

Although, I ain’t been on one… only an A340.

RE: United Airlines In Trouble.

has the 767 got the range to fly non stop from the West Coast to Europe?

I’m surprised at them using the 76 on the SFO-CDG flights… Surely there must be an enroute stop somewhere?

RE: What could be the reason of the cockpit-window cracking?

it cracked?

dunno… there was a case about ten years ago of the cockpit window on a BA 1-11 coming off at 37000 feet. the pilot was sucked half out, but fortunately the purser managed to grab hold of him, and restrain him for the rest of the flight, until the first officer, who was thankfully an experienced man himself, managed an emergency landing at Southampton.

There’s a report on that at the AAIB website. it was due to faulty installation of the screen. but as to cracking, I couldn’t help you…
