Wow..
They are all pretty lucky to escape without any injuries.. yet alone escaping alive.
Wow as if the survived that.
It's japanese, no suprise there.
Well they noticed that the left engine had smoke coming out of it before it exploded, if no one noticed it then I doubt there'd be many survivors.
They all got out before it exploded
What did the ones who climbed out of windows do, just fall? That must've hurt.
i rather die then be in pain -.-Quote:

They evacuated just at the right time.. They did apparently have to wait 10 minutes before the decision to evacuate was made.
I notice no one is bringing up the fact it was a Boeing and everyone on this Forum is like "if it ain't Boeing I'm not going" or w/e.
No I'm surprised they didn't just cripple themselves or something and either lie there under/next to the plane or try and crawl away. Perhaps they did I don't know how big this explosion was.
If I was on that plane I wouldn't wait 10 mins to be evacuated I'd go and open the godam door myself lol
Yeah and? Doesn't make Boeing uncool. Anything could be wrong like poor maintenance so who knows. Yeah the pilots hanged down on their ropes from the flight deck windows to get out safely :)Quote:

It had to be a close escape or they wouldn't make the news.Quote:

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

Luckily, I am going on a 747 ...

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.
*China airlines.Quote:

Thats china air for you:)
But if they escaped with like an hour to spare it'd just be an escape, not a close escape. I'm glad no one died though.
Wow. all those people were very lucky. Why is it always Boeings having these problems then? :P
It was seconds to spare, not hours..
Because china air doesnt look after its air craft:)Quote:
