I don't watch SkyNews as its repeated ****. And yes as for speculation its not exactly accurate but its interesting to see what kind of theories are dreamt up (Such as on one group no mention was made to loss of power, it was all windshear) might as well read the report from the UK equivalent to the AAIU here.

Oh sh*t, this looks like scrap metal

It's good to hear everybody got out with minor injuries!

(I don't really want to read the news tomorrow... they'll tear BA apart

)

I knew the T7 wouldnt keep its perfect record forever but for BA to be the one to have a crash really saddens me. At least it there were no fatalities.

Just heard that the bbc called the T7 a "BA Airbus"

Media+Planes= Zombies!!!

Aviation expert on the news didn't even know it had 6 bogies

I even heard that it had a double bird strike :shock:

Actually, I don't think it's funny. People belive the crap the BBC or its equivalents feed them. And that leads (for example) into the fact that there still are some people who think that
a) everybody could fly a 747 (actually, everybody can- but most only one time :twisted: )
b) a return to base because of birdstrike/nonretractable landing gear is a catastrophe
c) all these security measures implemented after 9/11 make sense
d) cabin crew is just a bunch of overpaid waiters who dare not to upgrade us on our 120€ ticket

There is a chance that this bird wont be scrapped as of now. If it is it will be the 2nd one ever and first by accident. Im hoping that it'll return to the skies. Funniest report I heard was from Some local station. "A British Airways, Boeing A380-800 crashed in London Heathrow Airport! This is the first crash of its kind and as of now, London's airport has been shut-down!" "The plane should be back in service tomorrow"

Media. Red neck media.

That was probably due to the reporter hearing the flight number and misunderstanding it, it was BA38 lol
And they sure must have some magic repairmen at LHR if they think it's a "fixer upper" and to return it into service today hahaha

Speed Bird Down :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:
I think i'll wait for National Geographic's Aircrash investigation.

The first 777 to crash? :shock:

pck · **Reply #28 on:** January 18, 2008, 09:45:22 am

not really a crash, a crash-landing, meaning landing real hardly on runway and then nose wheel and main gears break and the undercarriage touches the ground and the plane is destroyed. anyway, thee 777 is still a great bird

I take it back about the reporter on BEEB being drunk, this reporter is/was drunk
