They really should not be allowing those airbuses at our airports. I always go out of my way to make sure I’m flying Boeing before I even purchase my ticket.

Ive flown on it in business class on a 15 hour flight and I must say it was the best flight I have ever taken in my life, so much so that by the end of it(and it was a looong flight) I wished tht it wasnt over and it would fly around some more.

Normally when I go to Asia it’s 747 or the 777.

Really a scary piece of video. I would not have wanted to be a crew member walking around in that cabin when the tail got clipped.

And THAT’S why they tell you to remain seated until the aircraft comes to a complete stop at the gate.

I can’t imagine how the people in the Comair jet escaped injury. Even if they were belted in, think of what that would do to your neck.

This happens all the time. The pilot was texting and the co-pilot was twittering ...

You wanted a 15 hr flight to be longer? You’re obviously too insane to give a meaningful opinion.

I wouldn’t have wanted to be a passenger on that plane. I wonder if the airline had to buy everyone new underwear.

I am certain that no Boeing aircraft has flown the entire management of the company into the ground and killed them all.

They all evacuated, and then they exited the plane.
