Debris found
Horrible story. Authorities believe it happened so fast that they didn't even have time for an SOS.
I had no idea these planes send out automated messages.
I doubt it very seriously that the pilots were sleeping. They had there hands full Im sure. the Airbus tail is made of composite material which has been known to break off as in the American Airlines A300 in New York shortly after 911.must be where we got telematix.
I guess one question that will come up will be whether the pilots were sleeping with the auto pilot engaged. I'm surprised this happened. thought these planes could fly over any storms.
747-400. It has four engines, its easy to fly, and its a boeing.Its a tragic event, and Im not trying to take away from that but I was wondering with the recent airline incidents, which plane in the AMTs minds are the safest to fly in? (without regard to the actual maint to it since it would very from company)
What is that tail section made of that makes it float?
Balsa wood
