    It looks like someone got it on camera... If it was this crash then it is a bloody miracle it didn't go up in a fireball. I thought it belly flopped and slid to a halt.. Hell no!! Christ those people that survived have a tale to tell!!

    Kind of gives you an idea for what job he'll be doing after he ceases being a pilot

    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 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.

    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 :-)

    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.

    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.

    Yep, bye.
