Those passengers are going to FREAK when they see the film of what they went through.

I suspect there might be ore than one person on board who will name their next kid after the pilot.

Anyone know the pilot's name?

---Planes are planes, irrational hatred of a plane because of the french is just stupid.---

and the french are french. hatred of them and their crappy products doesn't strike me as particularly irrational, considering their overtly anti-american attitudes.

Per MSNBC...."this may a Sim for future Airplane pilots"

Almost all incidents and accidents are used in the simulators to train pilots. One of the most difficult is United Flight 232 which crashed Sioux City, Iowa.

Everyone in our office just let out a loud cheer...it was so wild watching that right in front of our windows as we parallel 25-L runway.

WOW! Now that is as close as you can get.

They will jack it and get it off the runway. That runway is usually used this time of day for all the 747's going off to Asia and Europe.

I hope to be flying out of there in a few weeks or so on EVA airlines.

Sorry, I'm not really grumpy, I just don't like how some profess to know God saved this plane, when there's clearly many tragedies he does ~not~ prevent.

I'm glad they had United 232's Captain doing commentary.

He and crew did a helluva job as well that fateful day in Iowa.

Sorry Dave.

You know it is possible to turn off graphics on your browser... really speeds up load time for dialup.

For real? If so, I wonder if that's part of a strategy to move as much weight as possible back towards the functional rear landing gear.
