The Ghost of (Eastern) flight 401

[glasspilot1]

The narrator of that video for the Travel Ch kept saying "The Captain and Flight Engineer." He never mentioned the First Officer. I think he forgot or didn't know this was a 3 person airplane.

Loft (the Captain) and Repo (the Engineer) were the only 2 that kept appearing on other Eastern planes.

Didn't the autopsy of Capt. Loft reveal a brain tumor?

I believe you are correct. However, it was determined it was not a factor in the crash.

Remember, there was a survivor in the cockpit, the company technical officer, Angelo Donadeo.

It was a F/A that had the first encounter with the Reppo's ghost. She saw his head in a mirco wave oven in the lower galley. He warned her of a false engine fire warning.

I think you are mistaken. He asked her if there were any meals left.

Ah yes, I remember and it was first class meals

Wow . . . that had to be the most incompetent attempt to portray airline flying ever. It was painful to watch.

Let's see, instead of an L-1011, they show variously a DC10, an MD80, and who knows what else, and the Attitude Indicators are tumbled throughout the flight. You'd think even a non-pilot would realize that they are sideways.

One of the surviving F/A's worked for AirTran, flew with her a few times. Although I was curious about it, she never mentioned it, so I never brought it up. Nice lady, very quiet.
