If this is indeed the true story behind this... Gotta admit, it’s hysterical.

Just a tad unrelated..back in the 80’s the crack Egyptian special forces tried to rescue hostages aboard a flight that was hijacked by the PLO. Everyone died in a scorched earth blaze of gunfire.
The joke was...What’s worse than being hijacked by the PLO? Being rescued by the Egyptians.

Perhaps sheetheads should stick to 7th century modes of transportation and leave the flying to the Crusaders....

Just had to comment on this:
"The brand spanking new Airbus 340-600, the largest passenger airplane ever built"
Largest? Hardly. I believe the 747-400 is larger and the A380 is definitely larger. There are also many number of other aircraft that are larger......

The fact that the crash was caused by complete idiots who didn’t bother to look over the manuals before they firewalled the throttles suggests people from a country at or near the equator. Something in those first 25 degrees seems to be a problem.

To: txflake
it will have that irrating 3rd jet wobbling and shakingAfter a trip to the body shop, it will be resold to North Korea under a salvage title. It will fly sideways like a car with a bent frame. The windshield will leak, and there will be an annoying whistle coming from around the window frames. Something deep inside will always rattle, but no one will be able to track down the problem.

no apologies needed. I hadn’t seen it. thanks for putting it up.

The extent of injuries to the crew is unknown, for there has been a news blackout in the major media in France and elsewhere. Coverage of the story was deemed insulting to Moslem Arabs.Etihad Airbus Crashes Into Wall During Testing
Nine on board, including seven Etihad employees. Four hospitalized. Three sustained serious injuries, including one person not on the plane.

Righto - the A380 is three times the footprint of this plane.
Probably the article meant to keep google from eventually connecting this fiasco with their rollout of the A380.
Was Airbus so blind to the ME bling they can’t be bothered to check the flight crew taking her out for a spin around the block?
