Ahh I was wrong. Didn't see reports on the other engine fires. I am going to go out on a limb and bet that poor maintenance practices on the engines are likely the cause since airline maintenance has been outsourced to low bidders by a lot of airlines to cut costs.

The fire was caused by the crash not the other way around. It was a gear problem leading to a belly or partial belly landing with some chatter suggesting the pilots actually forgot to deploy the landing gear and ignored a go round instruction from the tower.

No, don't worry. No one crashed.


One of my favourite plane films:

Pilotseye is a Munich based company to produces cockpit-view films from passenger flights.

One pretty well known (13 million views) 15-minute except is this Swiss Air flight of an A340 enroute to Shangai being forced to turn an engine off.

Makes it pretty good video to show to someone afraid of flying? What's the scariest thing? Engine failing. Well, turns out it's just another thing that can happen.

Also shows some pretty good CRM, the Pilot-flying, not-flying roles got a bit blurred, but still)

There are auto-translated subtitles to English. Not sure if they do the job, but the video is multi-lingual anyway: Deutsch, Schweitzerdeutsch°, English



°Like really: They say Drei - Three - "Dr-eye" as "Drüüüüü"swamp poop . The difference is bigger than between Serbian and Croatian. :P

Your posting style vexes me.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

In a good or bad way? And what is peculiar about it?

FWIW, when I am tired ordrunk my grammar suffers and entire writing style degenerates into some stream of conscious rambling. Thus all my (parernthis), and interjections and tangents. Not doing that too sound fancy but more a representation off how I think. While writing the post above I was about 2 glasses of white wine in.

Edit : I don't drink that much, but get talky when I do, which makes me post, so might look worse than it is. I'll be better this year, promised.

I think the most confusing part for me was that you double posted, with the second post being subtly different.

Not sure if serious. I would only suggest making some time to re-read your posts at a later time, sober or otherwise.

In this particular case, I spent WAY TOO MUCH time reading both posts, trying to figure out the game.
