yeah i remember that one. really sad. and it was a wonderful jet as well.  embarassed cool thing is they had actual footage of that incident as well.
i pretty much remember all of them. lol
but the KLM- Pan Am documentary is the best!!
it was basically just series of unfortunate events (some in which, were avoidable)  embarassed
Pan Am (which i think stands for Pan American) got a lot of crap. they even had their B747 blown up over Lockerbie Scotland, and other terror threats. sigh. . .
they eventually shut down, for reasons which i don't know


Yeah,jst a series of unfortunate events,dey rnt down n out tho,dey've got a very very good flyin skool,one of d best(if ur still considerin,as i am). .guess dats wat PanAm means too. .PanAmerican,l0l,

so you watched it, ehh? what did you think of it?
well i think there was an ACI episode or at least a documentary on the 9/11 crash.
i think its called "the plane that fought back" or something like that.
and i really enjoyed the one about the hudson crash as well, because you get to REALLY know what happened and get stories from passengers and what not.

Funny thing is I never thought about death! Even to this day I for some reason feel relaxed and it never crosses my mind cool. The longest I've been on a plane was about 3.5 hours so I guess I didnt expect much. I would like to go to Africa but I hear the flight to some parts is 16+ hours!  shocked

on the hudson crash EVERYONE survived, AMAZINGLY!!! no one died.  cheesy
the only story i can think that is relative to your description is the Ethiopian Hijack, and i know you aren't talking about that one.
so type in "the plane that fought back" and it should be there on youtube, along with every other ACI episode. the one about 9/11

i really don't know how i remember these names. i tend to remember things that are good, and things that i like.
yes he was given an award, along with the "hudson crash" pilot.
i really don't know how many episodes or seasons. but i think there are close to 35 episodes? (well at least that is how many i think i have watched so far)
undecided
Re: Your First Day On A Plane by 3ndy(f): 3:32am On Feb 27, 2010
mmmm actually i was nine and a half, abt 2 travel 2 europe,
i was held by my uncle and never let be coz he was scared i could fall off the plane, hw possible don't ask me,
my elder brothers and sisters 2 were all scared so fo the first time in their lives they obbeyed our uncle and sat quiet and still throughout the fly,
but my brother the second 2 the last, felt he was 2 bold 2 be scared of the flight so he played around all the time, so when the plane started losing quota wanting to land (u all know d sensation u feel i guess, seems like being in a rollercoaster) he felt so bad he puked, i laughed till i got ill that evening, and the trip wasn't really exciting though coz it was in april and in europe it was deeeeemmmmmm freezing

Re: Your First Day On A Plane by 3ndy(f): 3:17pm On Feb 27, 2010
@olisa4all
don't really know, guess we were 2 used in seeing our feet on the ground and didn't like a flying engine,
although after seeing con air and other american films where d flight always seem 2 crush i guess it was kind of acceptable we were scared
Re: Your First Day On A Plane by THEAMAKA(f): 3:48pm On Feb 27, 2010
no i don't watch "seconds from disaster"
hmmmmm i looked it up, and it seems to be a mixture of different "disasters" and not just aviation.
but i will check it out.
Re: Your First Day On A Plane by Olisa4all: 4:41pm On Feb 27, 2010

Mzdarkskin,where will u go after 3hrs in a 24hr flight?

@Amaka,l0l. .your hooked ACI. .as much as my heart goes to dose who lose deir lives in disasters,i wanna c NEW EPISODES,l0l
it sounds horrible to say, but i wish the same too! but not all ACI included death. but i guess they were "near death" experiences.
and i know there were probably some air crashes that happened back when that didn't get episodes. or maybe the countries never performed an air investigation so the answer on why they crashes still remains.
remember the air france that got lost/crashes around brazil sometime last year? and the yemen plane that did as well in the comoros islands around 6 months ago, as well?
hopefully they will be solved and turned into episodes.

Re: Your First Day On A Plane by Nobody: 6:12am On Feb 28, 2010

Tru. . But its a pretty long time 2fully investigate an air crash,sumtimes it takes years,so dnt expect2c dose anytime soon. .if dey do come up wiv sum,holla@me o,l0l. .
MzDarkSkin,jst buy a 1st class ticket, u might not kno wen d 24hrs elapses. .
Re: Your First Day On A Plane by THEAMAKA(f): 1:07pm On Feb 28, 2010
I will be sure to do that.
Re: Your First Day On A Plane by rockiedink(m): 10:54pm On Mar 01, 2010
@The Amaka, Olisa4all

and here I was thinking I was the only one hooked on ACI. . .

I still dream of becoming a commercial pilot. . . when I can raise the funds. I'd so lurv to fly the A340 (a proper plane with 4 engines!!!)

Tell me Olisa, I gather you're either already a pilot or training to be one; what do you fly?

Amaka what would you love to fly? pls dont tell me the 737. . .
Re: Your First Day On A Plane by rockiedink(m): 10:56pm On Mar 01, 2010
as for the AF crash of last June; the FDR & CVR have been found. . .

but you know the french the way they are. . . always willing to cover everything up and make it hush hush. . . like they did with the Concorde of 200. . .

YESS!!!! ACI IS THE BEST!!!   grin (the narrator has a really creepy voice though, kinda hard watching it at night. lol)
and im not really a fan of the 737, one of my least favorite boeings actually.
i love the 777 and 747, those are my favorites.
you said you want to pilot the a340? im not too much a fan of airbus but my profile picture looks pretty good  cool
i really want to be one too but its too expensive and i don't want to join the air force. i still love planes but i dont think i want to be a flight attendant/stewardess either because they don't really make that much money.
but then again youre being paid to travel, fly, have fun!!!  cheesy
im confused sha.
