Yes, I understand it…..but I wonder why they climbed. There were still a long way before the runway ended. It´s still very confusing to imagine why the plane simple went out of the runway.

I undestand that with a reverser deployed, the plane could go out as the other reverser was not deployed…..but climbing?. It´s hard to imagine what happened on board the cabin.

The result of the pilots autopsy has showed that “they had broken their arms trying to control de crippled plane”, I suppose this is not a literal meaning of course, but phase out, something which the media had been pointing out: the suicide.

Well this has been denied by one of the survivors. They simply tried to convince that nothing to worry about. In any case, noboby can´t prevent you from abandoning a flight unless doors are closed and it´s moving. I have left a couple of times, and no problem.

The airport camara has shown no engine explosion, and other odd things were observed. The plane almost needed th whole runway to take off, so it seems that there was a loss of power.

The pilots have been protesting about the fact that at the end of the new runway was a colony of gannets or vultures…whatsoever.

Witness pointed that it tilted and then collpased. No odd noises onboard. So….things are really confusing now.

Wake turbulence?.

Well, some comments. Media is behaving in a real obscene way. Alarming, biased, and putting a lot of rubbish on Spanair and the pilot. Trying to tarnish the reputation of the MDs, telling the caused so many crashes. Well, it´s media, they don´t know how to do it.

Grief, emotional stories like the six years old walking around, and crying telling that “he didn´t like the film”, and wanted to wake up. Sounds like a bit of media invented story. But lot´s of personal stories. People who lost the flight for errors with electronic tickets, flight attendants who change the flight, and a channel with a camara on, recording the whole take off of same JK fight 5022 today.

Not anger against Spanair for the moment, but tought moments will come soon. This will get really nasty. Media has also reported that in the last 35 random inquieries made by aviation officials didn´t show anything wrong with maintenance procedures.

I am still surprised of how can an engine explode in such a way.

100 are official numbers. Unofficial are about 150. But as I told you, when I talked with my cousin who witnessed how it fell down, that it was going to be that tough.

My initial thoughts

How in a civilized country can a plane crash for an engine failure?
How a highly reputed airline could have suffered such a fatal crash?
Wasn´t SAS and Spanair maintanace a good one?

I can´t understand a word. Shocked this afternoon. :confused:

I am about to hear the official press conference. None of my friends were on the crew list. I want to be careful, but Spanair MD had been seriously questioned by SEPLA (Spanish Pilots Trade Unions).

I just heard over 50 are dead? 🙁

Don´t trust El Pais newspaper. No official figures announced yet.
