I love seeing original pics on here by contributors so well done. Have to disagree with the colour scheme sentiments though, my faves were the Britannia ones before and after this.

Think I’m in a very small minority concerning the new Tui scheme mind ya;)

A cargo plane ? Does this mean that people were herded in the back like cattle ?

If they were in a properly seated airliner they might have stood a chance of not being sucked out I would have thought. What it must have been like on board beggars belief !

Who’s going to run the airport(s) ? Military for the time being I presume but then what ?

Great pic and welcome, it reminds me of my holiday in Gran Canaria last year. It rained like that all week !

Just watched it this morning and yes it’s inconclusive, but that’s not the job of the filmakers, more the job of the NTSB. Maybe they should have waited until the final report was published before making the programme ?

I also felt they were having a go at composites early on but this was just being put forward as one of many possible factors to bconsider . The programme did have the potential to turn into a pro Boeing/ anti Airbus propaganda piece at one stage, when they mentioned four A300 pilots featured had applied to fly only Boeings after the accident, inferring there something about Airbus that was at fault.

I did feel sorry for the families of the victims though , having to sit at the hearings listening to Airbus and AA trying to absolve themselves of any blame and watching the simulator mock ups of the crash must have been awful. I felt the views of these people were hardly represented in the film

It sounds like it will be one of those incidents were no one single factor or party will take the blame, but a part of the blame will be apportioned to Airbus, AA and perhaps the tower at New York ?

It was interesting to hear the pilot question the distance between his plane and the just departed JAL 747 whilst on the runway waiting to take off. He obviously had wake turbulence on his mind.
