Check out the CNN.com interactive link to the Beech1900. They show a picture of a King Air.....geeez.

CNN Got it Wrong

Go to http://www.cnn.com Take a look at the link for the Beech 1900 right under the main story. It will say "Interactive Beech 1900 aircraft." Does that look like a 1900 to you?

 

[350DRIVER]

that is the "newer" more fuel efficient 1900 FE model

May be they forgot the autofeather switch before take off....or never had the throttles advanced far enough to engage it.

You girls sound as bad as the media. Alot of conjecture and misreporting. Give these people some respect. God bless.

Miles OBrien is an A$$.

Anyone know what makes him an expert? Does he have a PPL or something?

left engine & door would appear to be "suspect" very early on-

350 is 15000 MTOW, I am assuming the 1900 is 16000 MTOW.??

I am resisting the urge to speculate.

This is tragic. My thoughts are with the families.

Miles OBrien is an A$$.

AA- I second that one.. He is a complete A$$. His knowledge is a "joke" at best. You hear him state that the pax on the 1900 enter and exit from that rear door in the back- he needs to wake up.

Jerry Orr is giving a news briefing on FNC.

A terrrible loss. I will pray that they were prepared by their trust in Christ, and that their families are comforted.

Looking at those horrible pictures makes all the airline vs. airline, civilian vs. military, major vs. regional stuff seem pretty trivial doesn't it. I pray that those people in Charlotte did not die in vain and that their loss will remind us of our highest goal: the pursuit of an accident free aviation world. There is no greater tribute to those lost in aviation than the commitment this goal. God bless them and their loved ones.
