FlyerTon Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The Boeing 777 was en-route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when contact was lost. 239 people aboard. If confirmed lost, it will be the worst air disaster involving a Boeing 777. The first commercial flight of the 777 was on 7 June 1995 and is Boeing's first 'Fly By Wire' commercial aircraft. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-26492748 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowden til i die Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Has anyone ever seen a grown man naked? Seriously though they are fucked. Appears to have dropped 700 feet in the last minute before loss of contact. Chinese blaming the Vietnamese. I'm going for pilot error. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEEJANGO Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofarl Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 It's always Boeing planes that are breaking at the moment. This and the well documented problems with the Dreamliner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Every other internal flight I've been on in India seemed to be flown by wifie Indian pilots. Flying to Bangalore from Mumbai we had two aborted take off attempts, after a wee break on the runway apparently all was fine and away we went. It's not unsettling at all when the plane beings to come to a stop when you should be starting to lift in to the air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
