Why....?

It sad you have to ask.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

Now that I look at it, yes it was pretty tasteless. Seemed funny at the time. Apologies for my swing and a miss.

Nuckle, you need to retract that statement.

WHOOP WHOOP! NET NANNY! WHOOP WHOOP!

I'm certain that we'd all agree that the loss of life is tragic, but the chances that this is anything other than an egregious screwup by pilots from a medieval society overmatched by 2Oth Century technology is small.

[GogglesPisano]

Ridiculous assertion. Do a little googling. Here, let me do it for you ...

The accident rates for Airbuses are only marginally worse than Boeings. A lot safer than any car, bus, train, Ped Xing, bathtub, golf course, ski slope, swimming pool, kids' playground, or any other recreational activity.


Now a flight on Yemenia OTOH, that's a whole other can of worms.

I thougt it was funny. Loosen up, fruitcake. We're talkin third world humans, not Westerners. No one cares about a little island off of Africa. In a few years, they'll be under water and forgotten.

 

[Lake Alice]

One theory.

Airbus designs aircraft for third world operations and pilots. The planes automation makes up for the lack of experience of the crew operating it. In the US we rarely have a problem but overseas the airplanes limitations become apparent.

God speed to those lost.

You're a scvmbag. My parents are from a third world country. Your courage behind your little keyboard is sad and pathetic. If you said that sh!t in front of me, I would knock your fvcking teeth down your throat and not even think twice about it. Coward!
