Boeing 777 Asiana aircraft has just crashed at SFO

[AngelsLongBall]

Oh boy

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Although, I'm sure it happens a lot.  Just not such an epic failure.

Coroner: Plane crash victim may have been run over

 

[Kenny]

Wow.  Way to go Asiana.

 

Boeing does a collective silent fist pump.

[katie]

Run over by a paramedic? Yikes.

[Kenny]

That's just ridiculous, but at the same time, there must have been a ton of debris.

If you're going to get fired, go out big!

 

[ELEVEN]

Sum Dum Fuk is probably out of a job now..

[gotbeer]

LOL.  Yeah, a few people will be out of jobs after that.  

 

BTW.  Of the one victim that was run over, they are now saying that the body was covered in foam from trying to put out the fire, so the vehicle that ran her over probably couldn't see the body.  So while tragic, at least there was a reasonable reason why.

[gotbeer]

Oh, and according to ktvu.com, third person died.  And they appologized for a "Hoax"

So which is worse, that the news put this out?  Or that it was actually confirmed by the NTSB.  

 

An intern is going to get fired.  If not worse.

I am on an aviation forum that includes a number of current and retired commercial pilots and flight instructors. One of them posted details of a friend's experience as a training instructor for Korean Air and Asiana pilots. It will make you never want to set foot on any aircraft operated by a Korean airline.

I would have thought that missing a runway would have damaged their reputation.

 

Then we have this.

Shouldn't they sue whatever intern at the NTSB that confirmed those names?

Good thing the broken plane on the ground with the name Asianna written all over it had no adverse affect on their reputation.

Asiana Airlines announced Monday that it was going to sue a San Francisco TV station that it said damaged the airline's reputation by using bogus and racially offensive names for four pilots on a plane that crashed earlier this month in San Francisco.

 

I think the damage to their reputation comes from their incompetent pilots missing the runway.

"She said the report seriously damaged Asiana's reputation. Asiana decided not to sue the NTSB because it said it was the TV station report, not the U.S. federal agency that damaged the airline's reputation. Lee did not elaborate."
