Not looking good though http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8076848.stm Just heard bout this, sadly looks as though it would be an tragic accident, saying they reported electrical failure after turbulance and then that was it
bolton_blondie Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Is it more, or are more and more planes falling out the sky recently? I always remember working at Manny airport last year when a hole was in made inside the cabin floor accidentally and a part of the engine fell off, I had to tell the pax that the delay was a technical failure with the entertainment system. Couldn't tell them the truth 'cos no fcuker would want to fly! (well i wouldnt want to!) They got their in one piece so they where reet! Never trust First Choice/Thomsons!!
Smiley Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Abducted by Aliens. Fenny ITK Not far off! Reckon the pilot lost the plot and tried to take the plane into space! No sh?tting you.
Spider Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 It'll probably show up in a day or two. It's French so is likely to have simply gone on strike.

Porrohman Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Well they where running out of material for Air Crash Investigations!
Zico Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Gets worse 2 Brits on board watching news now, says 6 that's all a bit f?cked up it's disspeared off radar so no one knows where it is if it came apart mid air and is in bits, they may not be able to trace it via radar when they go looking for it and the atlantic is a bit big to look everywhere for bits of a plane with any luck they'll have landed in an episode of lost

Maggie Tate Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Call me old fashioned, but how can you lose a plane? 'Tis a great big thing tha noze. It's like being in your front room and saying you'd lost your couch
Breightmet Boy Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I reckon the missus has lost it on purpose, she hates putting doors up
The Norpig Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Fooking hate flying at the best of times. Now to know that they can loose you is great news. Most of the families will never be able to lay their loved ones to rest.

tylswhite Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Heard on the radio that the area where it is likely to have come down is a lovely area but and this is a big but infested with sharks! You know how the saying goes take a chance and fly Airfrance, poor buggers Edited June 2, 2009 by tylswhite
Winchester White Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 The fooking thing was flying at 35,000 feet doing over 500mph. How the hell does it just disappear with no mayday call or anything? Even if both engines failed it would take quite a while to glide down into the sea. Thankfully, this is a very rare event, if a plane is going to crash 99% of the time it is within a couple of minutes of take-off...

On t'radio this morning, they said the search area was the the size of the USA. Cat & hell spring to mind.

Sorry thats wrong ,its 5% on ground/taxing, 12% during takoff, 13 % climbing to altitude, 6% en route, 16% Descent and approach and the big one 45% landing. Source : boeing, www.planecrashinfo.com

An explosion would probably make it vanish
Zico Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Thankfully, this is a very rare event, if a plane is going to crash 99% of the time it is within a couple of minutes of take-off... that's not comforting I am at my worst on a flight for those couple of minutes after take off you can get very high up inside two minutes the general rule is, when a plane "moves" in mid air, be it a turn, turbulence, whatever, then so do my bowels

jayjayoghani Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Looks like they've found it or the crash site rather http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8079122.stm
Totty Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Apparently the cause of it was all a misunderstanding. One passenger shouted, "Hi Jacques" to his mate. The crew immediately put their hands up and the plane went out of control!
