Bedlam at Heathrow

[oracleslave]

Personally I am no longer flying any airplanes - train/car only for me.

That seems an extreme decision after one non-incident in which no-one got hurt?

I made this decision well before it - even though I rank BA highly but no way I am subjecting myself to this crap again - not even if I get paid for it

I think your paranoia is misplaced.

what went wrong? did a BA flight run over a squirrel?

I think your paranoia is misplaced.

I have fear of heights, being on an airplane is pretty high - I especially can't stand their turns when airplane banks suddenly left or right, at the very least they should have some warning, and even worse they bank to one side right after lift-off so if something goes wrong there is no height to do anything

Ok so you have an issue with heights and not specifically to do with the recent 'crash'. You do know this fear is irrational and can be overcome then?

[AtW]

No, recent crash is allright - they were pretty close to the ground and the pilots seem to be excellent. Something like this happened in Russia but pilots screwed up - lost speed, and basically dropped down, everyone died. BA pilots clearly pretty good - I always fly BA now, well, until now - next time I go to Russia I take train going from Paris via Germany to Moscow. 12 hour daytime stop in Berlin, can go out and see another country

No civil airliner can "bank Suddenly". Their wings are too damn big and the bank angle is limited.

You may experience a sudden yaw moment if an engine fails, but that isn't a bank.

Churchill - In "If you want a sudden bank ask HyperD" mode!
p.s. - As for SASGURU, he's a southern onanist!

Paranoia is never misplaced.

They really are out to get me.

Good. I wish them the best of luck.

He didn't say airliner, he said airplane.... the Fokker 50 can be vomit inducing in weather that a larger airliner would slice through.
