Default Plane crash in Russia

"MM" wrote in message ...

It was announced on this morning's Sky News that a lot more
passengersmight have escaped down the front slides if people had not
stopped tocollect luggage from the overhead lockers.

Could one not make the case that every passenger seen on the tarmac*with
luggage* should be prosecuted for collective manslaughter?


Check out "Airplaneski" (1995) sometime:

Things have improved somewhat, but Aeroflot still has a LONG way to go...

A long way to go to do what?

Emulate the superb safety record of Boeing aircraft?

Any flying metal tube can be struck by lightning.

Suggests it's a rare event, but also doesn't discriminate between
manufacturers. I guess there is one more to add to the list.

Of course, because they can only be vastly superior to everything else.

Didn't anyone notice the first explosion was in the
rear section of the fuselage? The pilot didn't dump
the fuel before landing so was overweight, and on
the long range version they added extra fuel tanks
guess where?

In the cargo holds.

Landing a fully fueled jet with cargo holds full
of fuel is a pretty idiotic thing to do.

Aircraft being struck by lightning is a very common occurance

Yes, I was on a flight where we were told by the captain that the
aircraft had been hit by lightning.

He told us *after* we had landed...

perchance was an European airline ?

Dunno about US airline pilot recruiting, but here (EU) many civilian
airline pilots came from EU airforces, carrying with them the military
pilot's proverbial braggadocio...

(sometimes I think that the gun camera was invented in a desperate
attempt to sorting out the actual figure of enemy losses..)

Best regards from Italy,
