Quantas

Bethnai -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 9:25:50 AM)
Yeah, it is.

TieNTeas -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 9:27:50 AM)
Wow. Scary, but also impressive to hear how planes are designed for this kind of emergency.

GabrielleSlave -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 9:28:56 AM)
Blimey!

AMaster -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 9:30:59 AM)
Yes, very. Next time I go to New York for a visit, I'm walking!!!!

GreedyTop -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 9:31:16 AM)
being the twisted bitch I am, I probably would have enjoyed the rapid descent... the oxygen masks would have tempered that though...lol I'll be interested to hear what the investigators find out about the cause of the hole.

outlier -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 9:35:12 AM)
You gotta admit. It's a hell of an excuse for why they lost the luggage. Outlier

hizgeorgiapeach -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 9:37:54 AM)
GT, you aren't the only one who really wants to hear the conclusions of the investigators into this particular incident. I'll have to keep my ear to the ground with some of my FAA and NTSB buddies (and see if DA won't do the same) to get the Real scoop after they finally release the "official" causes.

KMsAngel -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 9:39:18 AM)
Qantas actually has an excellent record for flight safety.

LadyRainfire -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 9:45:44 AM)
Rhi, will we hear from the FAA & NTSB though since this was a Quantas flight out of Melbourne Australia going to London? Or will the report be done by the Aussie authorities? Not that it matters, I'm still curious. I got the scoop a bit ago from my Australian news sources since I still keep up as best as possible since I went to school there.

Some other fun Quantas facts.. http://blogs.zdnet.com/projectfailures/?p=614 http://cbs2.com/local/Quantas.Bomb.Threat.2.774675.html This is from the 18th of this month. Wonder if the 2 are related.

While it won't be the FAA and NTSB that do the investigation - people in the profession talk to each other. That's a simple fact of life, whether they work in the US or somewhere else. Considering some of the guys I know that work for the FAA - I have NO doubt that they'll be able to find out anything left Out of Official reasons. (And a good blow job goes a long way towards prying such information out of some of them!)

snorts Yep, I hear ya..... (I used to work at NASA.) [:D]

pissthirstysub -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 10:03:41 AM)
The video looks a lot calmer then I would have expected it to. I suppose it is the flight attendents doing their job.

GreedyTop -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 10:05:45 AM)
that occured to me too, pts.. I really expected there to be at least a few shrieks.. of course, the vid starts AFTER the masks have fallen, so yeah, I imagine that the attendants had done their job well by that time

LadyRainfire -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 10:13:47 AM)
If you've ever flown Quantas, you'd know that it's one of the best airlines in the world. I'd have no problems getting on one of their planes tomorrow, even after seeing this video and hearing about this. They have top-notch flight crews and planes. (Yes, I've flown on them several times before.) [:D]

GreedyTop -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 10:28:53 AM)
if I could afford to go to Oz, I'd fly them, too LOL

LadyRainfire -> RE: This is scary (7/25/2008 10:33:50 AM)
snickers I haven't flown them recently but they always had the yummiest flight attendants. I swear it had to be a job requirement to be scrumptious to be hired with them. Ok, end hijack. [:D]
