chrisp65 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Well, I guess I can knock "when will Bob Crow have a heart attack?" off my list. will Trent take Bob Crow off his avatar now and what will replace it? Len McCluskey maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 What's gone on with that 'missing' plane? Might be something mundane like pilot or mechanical error. Such a grim business. Bit weird isn't it? (and terrifying, imo!!) Sounds like some sort of catastrophic failure, probably mechanical. There was no may day before it disappeared, which means it must have gone down instantly. Strange I was reading an article about possible scenarios one of which was pilot suicide. It's very rare and reports are often reluctant to give this as the official cause. I always thought the other pilot would take control if something like that happened. the Silk Air one where exactly that did happen the airline are still trying to sue Boeing if I recall saying it was a plane failure rather than admit what happened it is a very strange one as they now think the plane is on the other side of Malaysia as it was tracked by military radar ... and yet not a squeak from the cockpit ... closest one to that i can think of was the Korean Flight that the Russians shot down as they had entered the transponder info incorrectly and were hundreds of miles off course and in Russian air space (and also be shadowed by a US spy plane as it turned out ) but this plane seems to have physically turned around rather than going off course ...

Completely off the scale, but I was once on a flight and the pilot announced we were going to stop in Egypt for fuel. As we were flying over the med he came back on air and said, for the eagle eyed you'll see we're over the med, we're going to Cyprus for fuel now. Later, having fuelled up and being in the air he came back on the tannoy to say 'for those that know their airports, yes, that was Athens'. I hadn't realised it was quite so random up there.

EgyptAir 990 is another one. The captain went to the toilet and the first officer might have ditched it. The Egyptians say it was mechanical failure, the Americans say deliberate crash, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I hadn't realised it was quite so random up there. talking of random , I like it when you fly off the beaten track a little You have a ticket for a flight that is due to depart at 11:00 .. you get to the airport at 9:30 and its' closed not a soul around ,sometimes a janitor might appear cleaning the building but certainly not a plane to be seen or anyone that can speak the lingo After the initial panic of have i got the right day ,or even the right airport you call back home (you have no internet) and get someone to check the web and even ring the airline and inform you that yes the flight is still departing at 11:00 and that the airline hasn't gone bankrupt .. but still not a soul to be seen then around 14:00 all these people just appear out of nowhere , the airport fireman turn up , the check in staff and about 40 taxi drivers just appear out of nowhere .. 14:15 a plane lands and at 15:30 you are on your way and everyone and his dog knew about this revised departure time expect the 2 Brits it's what i love about travel sometime Edited March 11, 2014 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 14, 2014 Has anyone ever sat through a alternative commentary dvd extra?I always think they're a great idea and then get 5 minutes in and get bored. I think for a film or show where you're a huge huge fan, then they're decent, and even then only if its insightful.
