Saying a bird strike , Mary Bobbins flying around airports again .. the engineering on these engines are far by compare to the early RB211 s .. so many problems in components , today materials and design work and is so more composite moulding involved makes them more reliable ... RR in the 70s were taken short cuts caused those probs . ..... Damn birds

Bugger. RR will be pleased it's not them this time then

Did they actually show an A380? No doubt it was a B1900 or a B777 or something
I didnt bother watching the news, lots of coverage on the web

To true .. reason we need another war , we need another arch evil in the world .. jeez i miss Osama and his friend Saddam .. the news is like one of these soap shows like Parliament TV .

I loved the comment made by someone (either to the Herald version of the story or the Yahoo one): "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going".

"I see they manged to get the words panicked and exploded into the article but never mentioned plummeted!" - Nice one Dean: too true. But I bet they tried their darnedest to get "plummeted" in there...

This is an interesting call Ian, I mean who is left really?
Apart from the two you mention the following are also now either gone or going: Mubarak, Assad, Gaddafi, Kim Jong-il, Castro

Who has the media got left to hi-light now as public enemy number one?

Khomeini obviously, but Iran seem to be doing all they can to stay in the good books. Chávez maybe so they can wrestle the Oil off Venezuela?
Noone will dare focus on an Israeli leader while they're backed by the yanks.

At least this one didn't take half the wing and systems with it when it went bang! The bigger they are the harder they ...........
