It's the Jakarta incident tonight 
Famous for
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress."
British Airways Flight 9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's always a good show and interesting to watch but i find i can't really 'enjoy' it when knowing at the end a few hundred people died
This one and the AF runway evac one that's on tomorrow should be much more 'enjoyable' though
Sara - These are new ones.

I don't why I find it so fascinating. I mean so many people dying due to a airtraffic controller sneezing on his VDU and not clearing off the phlegm in time. Such a waste
I'm a sick f****r

FFS, even I knew that he should have aborted and gone around. French men can't fly planes 
Last Air France plane I needed to travel on had a heavy landing and damaged the wheel assembly on the landing gear. Thankfully that was not my particular flight, but I was the one stuck at departure gate for 3hours whilst AF engineers scratched their heads on the landing gear whilst they were waiting for new parts to be flown in to replace the damaged bits, so that I could be on my merry way
Nearly had an overshoot last summer when the pilot touched down a bit late, was still motoring when he took the last exit of the runway

Some exits off runways are RET's ( Rapid Exit Turn offs ) and you're supposed to be "motoring" when you leave. Thats the whole idea.

Maybe you'd have preferred to leave on a plane with a damaged undercarriage? The amount of posts, not just on here, that I read, where people are moaning about tech aircraft beggers belief. Its precisely for this reason that ACI isn't on daily, with live reports from crash scenes!
Glad they found the tehcnical problem whilst it is on the ground rather than at 30,000 feet!
Whats that saying....."Would rather be a couple of hours late in this life than 40 years early in the next!"

Errr, wind your neck in boyo! I'm moaning about the previous pilots dodgy landing that caused the damage. Not the ground techs
Although, I know they carry spare wheels onbaord, I would have thought that ssing it was LHR; there would a nearby depot stocking the other damaged parts. Instead, they were flown in from Manchester. Probably a cost exercise; as the parts was probably flown in on another AF plane that was already scheduled to stop off at LHR: In otherwords a managment decision.

I do a fair bit of flying but have never experienced anything like that before, I was convinced we were about to go ploughing into something at high speed (well, you can't see forwards when you're sitting in the back).

I really like this program too, but need to wait until a Freeview channel shows it (normally five).

FFS you sad little man, have you make it your purpose in life to rip into anything i say?

and in answer to you question about how would i feel if comments were made on certain threads of mine? do you mean my cancer thread?

Your comment was extremely insensitive to those that may have lost sons, daughters, wives, husbands, other family etc in such accidents. Effectively you're saying: "The programme had no entertainment value for me because nobody died".
That's very sick

That's a very aggressive reply sara

will you get off your high horse?!
ACI isn't a snuff movie where people die to make good tv. the show is based on previous accidents played out by actors, so what is the harm in enjoying watching it?
i said maybe i didn't enjoy the programme because everyone was ok. i didn't mention death.
I don't watch trauma on BBC3 so i can see all the patients with happy faces.....
why havnt you pulled anyone else up for insensitive comments?.....

As far as I can tell you were the only one that implied the programme lost some of its entertainment value because no-one died. I didn't notice anyone else making that sort of comment, but if they did I would condemn that equally

Ali, he is not baiting me he is seriously deluded
watching people die is boring i like to see their remarkable escapes and watch them overcome everything bla bla bla.
so i made a comment no one else did and that makes it worse?
grow up and grow some *****!

if you feel i have been offensive towards you, then you understand my feelings towards you perfectly
if you don't like my offensive manner then keep away from me, simple
