            Yep, bye.
            Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

              Any coverage from mainstream outlets is notoriously unreliable and ill-informed. Not much point using the slides if it was already on the deck. Depends how old the pic is, but the slides might have been removed.

              S Korea has a chequered safety record to say the least. OTH it might be a recurrence of the fuel issue BA had with 777 at Thiefrow.

                Some thoughts, based on the limited information available so far, from "armchair air crash investigator" Moma Vujisic. He doesn't think the icing problem BA had is likely to be involved, as that was a problem with Rolls Royce engines, which this plane didn't have.

                    Friend of mine arrived at SF about thirty minutes ago; he saw it. Said it was "a little unnerving"

                      Must have come in on the opposite side or different runway. Couldn't see it at all.
