I was on a 757 when the video came out on CNN...definitely makes you think and appreciate things.

I was getting on an A330, and I'm going home on a 777.

The odds of you getting killed in a car crash going to or from the airport are greater than getting killed in a plane crash.
I mean you don't get nervous about driving every time you hear about a car wreck where someone gets killed, do you? I just got an alert about this on my Iphone

The CEO of the airline said that it was not a fault with the plane, and CNN world reported that both engines were operational at the time of the crash.

Then I must be a racist B as well since I have no reason to be inclined to agree with your statement. You do realize that when, back in 2001, a pair of towers were hit and many did the same thing.. stood there and filmed in awe.

I don't trust Asian airlines just for this accident, which WAS PREVENTABLE 100%. It was the fault of the pilots and the pilots alone that took the lives of two people and injured over 60 others.

Incompetent flying from another Asian/Indochinese airline. Do a google search on Korean Air, Silik air, and other airlines of the area. You'll want to stay the hell away from Singapore..

Looks like the pilots thought the "auto-throttles" were maintaining airspeed. Three pilots sitting there and no one was watching airspeed. Idiots.
