TIMEOUT FOR HUMOR

Arabs WRECKED A340-600 at TULOUSE FRANCE 11-07

These are pictures of the wreck of a brand new A340-600, that had never

flown. (never saw (1) hour in the air)

Thank these French and their Arab friends for this bit of "comedy of

errors".

Nine employees of the Arab airline were in the aircraft, but "no employees"

from Airbus were present. 

The Arab's taxied out to the run-up area. 

Then they took all four engines to takeoff power with virtually an empty

aircraft. (They obvious didn't read the run-up manuals.)

No chocks were set, (not that it would have mattered at that power setting).

"Brakes will not hold it back at full power anyway".

As it turns out the takeoff warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit

because they had all FOUR engines at full power. 

The aircraft computers thought they were trying to takeoff but it had not

been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc, etc).

Then one of these brain surgeons decided to pull the "Ground Sense"

circuit breaker to quiet the alarms. 

This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air."A big, big mistake"!



As soon as they did that, the computers automaticlly "released" all the

brakes. ("this is a Safety feature so that pilots don't land with the brakes

on".)There was No time to stop and no one smart enough thought to reduce the

max power setting.....



So the rest is as you see it below.



No one is talking, so who knows if there were survivors.

David,



Try at least to contain you bigotry with a post that begins with "Arabs WRECKED A340-600"

http://aircrewbuzz.com/2007/11/new-a340-600-in-ground-accident-at.html



Just because it was painted with the name of the Abu Dhabi carrier Eithad Airways you make the implication that "Arabs" are incompetent because they "wrecked" a brand new A-340-600.  A quick search would have provided the correct, uncolored information but instead you posted clearly biased  misinformation.  Would it have been as comic had the aircraft been painted with British Airway colors?



"At the time of the accident, there were nine people on board the aircraft, including two Airbus staff, and seven employees of Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies (ADAT). Five of those nine people were injured, but as of today only the two Airbus employees and one ADAT employee remained hospitalized. None of their injuries are reported to be life-threatening.



Etihad Airways confirms that there were no Etihad staff involved in the accident."



Sorry, I don't find humor in misinformation thinly masking bigotry.  I guess that is why we should limit the subjects of this list to RV-10 related issues.

I agree with William and furthermore, these types of posts have absolutely nothing to do with the RV construction community.

Hell yes!  Funny how when the governments refer to Arab nations it's not a problem.  Kinda like referring to me as an American.  Oh wait, I can see how some people would now consider that an insult.



Yawn



Do not archive as like everything else it's my opinion and I have not been held to any standards in my ramblings.  Heh

William,

  

 I can't help but wonder, if it had been "Americans wrecked a plane" instead, would you still pull the racism card?

  

 Also, how does your accusation that a member is a bigot help the RV community?  Even were it true (which I doubt it is - but I wouldn't care anyway as this is a RV-10 list, not a let's fight bigotry list), wouldn't it be better to just ignore it and move on?

Obviously I'm not William nor speaking for him  ..

  

 But ...

  

 I'm reminded of the quote (I forgot who) "All that must  happen for evil to triumph is for good people to do  nothing."

  

 "Evil" is a bit over the top in this case and the perceived  "bigotry" may not have been intended, but the implication of the words crossed  my mind to.  If I were to take issue with the post it would be that there  was ANY humor in people getting hurt, some seriously, in an aviation accident of  any kind.  "There but for the grace of [add your favorite content] go  I".

  

 Lets get back to building and wish the unfortunate victims  a speedy recovery.

Thanks Gene!  That EXACT quote came to mind as I read the below reply however I did not intend to respond since this thread has taken away much RV-10 building time from list participants.
