I think the fact he was posting tulipe on here at 8am from home about not being packed, and was fully upgraded to business before 11am means he didn't actually catch the flight at all. If you lie all the time, like MF, you tend to trip yourself up, which he's done here.Originally posted by eek View PostYou forget that MF's nickname is fatty arbuckle. As he has to have an inside seat we can assume that he can't see out of the window so its perfectly acceptable that he didn't see the crash.
The fact he forgot about it after complaining all Saturday night about it does rather imply that he consumed one or two too many during the flight.

I love the name of the pilot: Lee Kang-kook
Kind of gives you an idea for what job he'll be doing after he ceases being a pilot

Feck me I'm slow sometimes.
I've been wondering why there are dozens of people milling around with massive cameras and film crews. All Asian I just assumed that they were filming some internal film. Just walked past and got into the back of a South Korean news broadcast :-)

Must have come in on the opposite side or different runway. Couldn't see it at all.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostFriend of mine arrived at SF about thirty minutes ago; he saw it. Said it was "a little unnerving"

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.

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.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI don't see any escape chutes although it says passengers were using them in the article. Must be other side I guess
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.
