RE: Emergency Landing of flybe 146. Serious Injurys

Good explanation wysiwyg.

Whenenver I have had a long night flight on BA, they always warn about the risk of being woken if your seat belt cannot obviously be seen. This is over maybe 4-5 hours of “sleep” time so the seatbelt signhs are off.

RE: New airlines.

Not a new airline…but one which I don’t recall being mentioned before.

I flew on them one from JNB to NLA on a 727-100, about 2 years ago. Different aircraft to the one on the picture which was damaged beyond economic repair, according to airliners.net

I believe they lease aircraft from Comair, which is a BA franchise in South Africa flying 727’s and 732’s. Their NLA run is now threatened, because SAA compete with them using an ERJ-145. Way more economic than a 727! This was all last year, so they may have pulled out by now.

RE: I’m scared of Global Thermonuclear War 🙂

I’m sure some of our Aussie friends will bear me out on this…

A good few years ago (early-mid 90’s?) seismologists detected a powerful earth tremor originating somewhere in the interior of Ausralia. Nobody knows what it was. But the magnitude suggested either a huge earthquake (for which there was no real evidence, and bear in mind that Australia is, I think, located on a shield) or a nuclear explosion. Moreover, the epicentre was not to far away from a ranch bought by the Aum cult, the same one as repsonsible for the Tokyo subway Sarin attack.

RE: Westjet stocks go down

Not entirely related, but it is good to see British Airways back in the FTSE 100. It’s a psychological glass ceiling they’ve gone through, so I should expect the share price to stabilise a little now.

Isn’t it odd that one airline is getting good news in the same week that United filed for bankruptcy!

RE: I’m scared of Global Thermonuclear War 🙂

Well I guess that depends on whether the victim actually knows who attacked them. If not, how can they retaliate (apart from by nuking Afghanistan for no apparent reason)?
