Why is it always Qantas?

" Seven passengers have been injured in a mid-air incident aboard a Qantas A380 flying between London and Singapore en route to Sydney.
QF32, which left London on time at 11:14pm GMT on Friday evening, struck severe turbulence in Indian airspace about three hours prior to landing in Singapore.
Seven passengers have been treated for "minor cuts and injuries" in Singapore, a Qantas spokeswoman said. Four went to hospital "for assessment" but have since been discharged. Three were treated at Changi airport’s medical centre.
The turbulence was the result of severe thunderstorms in the area, the Qantas spokeswoman said.
"The seatbelt sign went on immediately, but some passengers were still making their way back to their seats [when the aircraft encountered turbulence]. Striking bad weather is not unusual," she said.
The flight landed in Singapore at approximately 7.50am yesterday, Sydney time.
Engineers have since examined the aircraft, the Charles Kingsford Smith, and found it fit to return to the air.
The flight, which was originally expected in Sydney at 8.35pm yesterday, is expected to depart Singapore this afternoon and is scheduled to land in Sydney at approximately 9pm."

I guess this one is just because of turbulence.

Easy. Because they're often full of Australians that are too fucking stoopid to put their seatbelts on.

[slofox]

Prolly because god's getting pissed off with them calling themselves "the lucky country..."

[Swoop]

Because they're ... too fucking stoopid to put their seatbelts on.

Unfortunately these people are everywhere. Dumb people who remove their seatbelt immediately the sign goes off, then wonder why they are crawling across the ceiling if unexpected turbs occur.

Top Tip: Keep your seatbelt done up, but loosen it off a bit to be more comfortable.

Yeah I can understand if you get caught out walking down the isle after a piss etc...but ffs...do ya seatbelt up dummies! To me...it's like riding a motorcycle without a helmet. All good til it goes bad.

:yes:

Having been in a smaller aircraft and had to crawl along the ceiling to get out of the door... it cannot be described as "fun". "Entertaining" would be a better description.:eek5:
Thank f*ck the pilot supplied beer that night.

Except if the plane falls over you'll probably be a tiny bit more likely to die. (except in NZ, you die when you ride here, teh gubbermunt said)

I think if you happen to be in an aircraft that falls out of the sky you're gonna have your head rammed out your arse regardless.

Besides the airline involved, the only other thing that struck me as being in common between this incident and the previous where the engine fell off is... Singapore. Maybe they were testing their frickin' lasers both times. :blip:

That depends on the plane and the pilot. When an airbus falls out of the sky you are probably correct. A few days ago my neighbour had his light aircraft fall out of the sky and as a result he parked it in some trees. No injuries, other than some mild bruising.

I have the same problem in my car.
My passengers soon learn quick that I learnt how to race a hillclimb in a car well before I actually got a license for the road.

In my old vauxhall I used to put a sticker on the dash that said. "Put on seatbelt, safety rail removed"

Bet he went and got a lotto ticket! How was the pilot that landed the 737 (was it?) in the Hudson river!!!?? Awesome!

No point in buying a lotto ticket after such an escape - all your luck has been used up surviving...:yeah:

You've got it wrong silly. Whilst we think with the lil head, it's girls bits we're thinking of. Well not the homos.

Oh come on, be honest now, how many times have you thought how awesome it would be to be able to lick your own balls?

Well for that nanosecond, before you die a horrible death, you succeed :D

There is no way on earth I'd lick my balls. I know where they've been.

Mine goes through others minds, smells like roses and popuri

I don't know much about aviation.

But I know different planes are designed to fly at different altitudes (mostly for fuel economy reasons), and that some airlines choose to fly their planes at different altitudes to other airlines.

It seems reasonable that turbulence could be more likely to occur at certain levels in the atmosphere than others.


It could simply be that the reports we see in this part of the world affect those airlines that choose different operating parameters to other airlines.

[Crasherfromwayback]

I once sent a chickie I fancied a Valentines Day card that read "Be my Valentine, else I'll come over to your place, suck your eyeball out and skull fuck you"

Never heard from her.:wacko:

Perhaps Austrailians are more likely to winge than others ... ???

So ... a few aussies get hurt ... flying Qantas. Barstards should have flown Air New Zealand ... our planes dont crash ...

Oh Wait ...

Did you notice she didn't have an Adam's apple? :laugh:
