Re: Write your own Daily Mail aviation incident drama
The question is - was the evacuation justified?
Who decided and ordered it?
I think we should be told . . .

Re: Write your own Daily Mail aviation incident drama
If anyone can make sense of this paragraph from our second favourite paper, could you please let me know
A threat of a pilots' strike at BA still hangs over hundreds of thousands of Britons who have booked flights with the airline this summer. The protest involving around 4,000 workers at Heathrow, including security staff and engineers, will still go ahead if they reject an improved pay offer.
A walkout scheduled for the start of the month was suspended.
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Re: Write your own Daily Mail aviation incident drama
I may be wrong here, in which somebody please correct me, but apart from slowing down in a controlled manner, I am not sure that the driver can 'battle at the controls' to keep a train on the track after such an event.Police hunt for brainless yobs who risked hundreds of lives by dumping huge blocks of concrete on a railway before a high-speed train crashed into them.
The three young men were caught on CCTV planting the waste materials on the railway line on Ridley Lane in Croston, Lancashire.
A train sped by a few minutes later and smashed into the blocks.
The terrified driver had to battle at the controls as the carriages swayed violently but managed to keep it on the the tracks.

“Emergency landing” , sure it wasn’t unscheduled or did the flight crew really declare Mayday?Mrs Ex-Ascot wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 5:27 amApparently the cabin crew landed the aircraft on this occasion; https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... s-eye.html

Gosh, people have gone mad. Many, anyway.

Well, that's a comfort anyway.Despite the passengers' reactions, the pilot remained calm, the Herald was told.

Almost 7000 Hurricane fighter jets were constructed there, handing the RAF a significant boost in its military campaign defending the British skies from the German Luftwaffe in 1940.

Re: Write your own Daily Mail aviation incident drama
Now here's a thought
Add a passenger module and sell tickets. Instead of flying to the Caribbean, spend 9 hours in the tube then go Butlins for a week.flight simulators that are so realistic experienced pilots can become qualified to fly an aircraft on them without taking to the skies for real.

BBC news video clips accompanying news of cancelled flights from China show a rather small Airbus landing at the 'row.

Yes - good advice - I had never thought of that before, but, no, there generally is no-one sitting on the window side.
