The Outsider Posted June 1, 2009 Author Posted June 1, 2009 RIP. It's hard not to think about it when somebody you know is travelling shortly. My sister is flying today. But this is one flight in 1000s of them. So' date=' the odds are very remote. But still it is scary.[/quote'] Yeah, I would guess the odds of dying from a car crash are higher but somehow incidents like this register so much more in the brain.
kumble_rocks Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 I fly every week , sometimes incidents like these makes me wonder , is it worth it !
cowboysfan Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 isn't Bermuda Triangle there too bermuda trinagle is off miami bermuda triangle.i think the plane went down off the coast of brazil
mhr123 Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico mark out a triangular region on the western part of the Atlantic. Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, this region has become notorious for the seemingly inexplicable disappearances of aircraft and surface-vessels. There are theories galore “explaining” the disappearances but none that has been able to establish what happens conclusively. Some argue human error, others deliberate sabotage or powerful hurricanes. No merit in the innumerable scientific explanations offered. A sizeable section even pleads for alien abduction or other such paranormal activity beyond the scope of science http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Bermuda-Triangle-to-blame-for-crash/articleshow/4605926.cms
mhr123 Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Is Air france the right choice for travellers... i doesnt give us a correct picture. Quite a bad history PARIS: An Air France passenger jet with 228 people on board was missing on Monday after dropping off radar over the Atlantic on Monday after taking off from Brazil. Below are some previous incidents involving the French flag carrier: July 25, 2000 : All 109 passengers and crew and four people on the ground are killed when an Air France Concorde jetliner crashes after catching fire on take-off near Paris. May 25, 2001 : An Air France Airbus 340 makes a crash landing at Cayenne airport in French Guiana, landing 30 metres too soon. No casualties. July 6, 2005 : An Air France jet runs into a stray cow as it lands in the southern Nigerian oil city of Port Harcourt. No-one is injured in the incident. Aug 2, 2005 : An Air France A340 passenger jet with up to 309 passengers and crew on board skids off the end of the runway and bursts into flames after landing in a thunder storm at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. No-one is killed, while 14 people suffer minor injuries. Dec 17, 2005 : An Air France Boeing 777 makes an emergency landing at Irkutsk in Siberia when one of its two engines breaks down on a flight from Seoul to Paris. No casualties.
Rajiv Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Bermuda-Triangle-to-blame-for-crash/articleshow/4605926.cms holy, thats the 1st thing which came to my mind
mhr123 Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 I work for a marine Co , Sometimes our Ship captain tells stories abt Bermuda triangle, mostly things go fine when they pass through it. But sometimes he also have observed Compass problems are one of the cited phrases , it behaves irratically which seems to be the major cause of Ships/ Planes getting lost. Not sure if there is some sort of Magnetic field. Sometime the hurricans causes major damage to the communication system (Radars etc.) which also leads to mishaps.
cowboysfan Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Bermuda-Triangle-to-blame-for-crash/articleshow/4605926.cms timesofindia people need a geography lesson.the plane went down off the brazilian coast ,more than a 1000 mile away from bermud triangle see the arrow with the circle.
