well. i think even if they got out then the plane exploded 20 minutes later . it would still make news considered they grounded the rest of the fleet.

Correct. Even if the plane blew up with no one on its still news :)

But you can see people still sliding out of the plane literally seconds before the "big" explosion... if you click that video that someone posted.

Luckily, I am going on a 747 ...

Lol calm down, I was joking. It's like I was insulting you personally :rolleyes:

Face it though... nothing against you, but if it was an airbus, you'd all be ******** off airbus by now, lol.

LMAO You got it girl!

Edit: 737s are still safe, it's just when the airlines don't give it good maintenance. Like that other crash with AdamAir etc.

read the news article fully it's the chinese aircraft. over 700 have died in accidentents from that airline in the last 17 years and there have been even more incidents.
