News just in that a 40,000ft water spout has just erected itself, roaming the mid-Atlantic, behaving erratically and unpredictably.

Not trying to concern you in the slightest.

~Ballix, them airline companies know eventually planes are going to fall out of the sky. Its just cheaper to pay of the victims families rather than re design the whole plane to make it safer

Wow, that's crap

The same type of plane crashed at Heathrow a few years ago (all survived).
Its pretty weird listening to the air traffic controller as it happened:

Possibly the most idiotic post I have ever read.

According to Al Jazeera, reports in that all passengers have been accounted for.

Delighted to hear that all passengers and crew are ok!

It's gonna make for a class episode of Air Crash Investigations though!

Do you hope crashes happen so a new series of ACI can be made?

Wifi on board. Was able to stream the hurling earlier when it was on. Living in the future really is great.

Haha you could live on a plane, going to and fro, as long as there was wifi :-P

Glad all on the SF plane are ok

Hopefully this figure doesn't rise any higher - wasn't expecting it given how we discovered people were walking away unscathed.

Utter nonsense.

Plane crashes are extremely rare and the overwhelming majority of them are down to a chain of unpredictable errors.

Planes are frequently redesigned and constantly maintained.

If planes were expected to eventually fall out of the sky plane crashes would be common.

...and no one would want to fly

...and the aeroplane manufacturers and airlines would go out of business.

Uhh, no. There have been several inherent faults with B****** that simply would cost too much to put right, and don't happen that often, but do happen - eg rudder jam hard right, and are just semi-ignored. SIL is an aircraft mechanic and is very antsy about flying. So am I(antsy), but the incidences are just so infrequent. Cabling routed through fuel tanks is the undeniable, before anyone shoots me down...

Asiana 214 from Seoul

Good pic

Tail section is gone, the undercarriage seems to have collapsed or came off and there's a crack through the middle. It's lucky it stopped when it did.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can clearly see plenty of dopes grabbed their baggage before they got out. Probably held everyone else up at the back

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I facepalmed when I saw that

They're supposed to leave everything and get out asap(barefoot?) and then people go off and try to save their bags possibly slowing down other people.

Yeah and one looks like she is carrying a heavy enough bag, one that definitely is slowing her down.
Lesson learned for the rest of us, if you ever see people doing that plough them over

Directive about the rudder issue ordering that it be fixed by 2002, and there hasn't been an incident since 1999.

Yeah, but it took a loong time to get sorted and I don't remember them grounding the fleet. You didn't mention the cabling bit..

marialouise

Preliminary results revealed: 2 hour recording...good quality. No anomalies or concerns discussed by crew during approach to SFO. The flight was cleared for the visual approach to RWY 28L, which is confirmed by the crew. Target speed for the approach was 137 knots.

7 seconds prior to impact, a call to increase speed was made on the CVR.

4 seconds before impact, the stick shaker went live.

Approx. 1.5-sec prior to impact, call to go around was made

CNN has released a video showing the moment of the impact http://t.co/1YRlClcCdF
