737 crash in China (Page 6/8) 82-T/A [At Work] MAR 26, 09:04 AM quote Originally posted by blackrams: Apparently, so would MEM. I can't even fly a drone properly. blackrams MAR 26, 10:33 AM I've been following some reports on this crash, it seems some leading "experts" on this aircraft believe this is not a mechanical, maintenance or structural failure that could have caused the nose dive initially. Most are saying the nose dive had to be pilot induced. Why is my only question........... Rams maryjane MAR 26, 12:19 PM "pilot induced" intentionally or pilot caused by inadvertent action or lack of action? Huge difference. There was a LOT of speculation as well, over on one of those type 'professional' boards that the Atlas crash in Trinity Bay Tx in Feb 2019 may have had an onerous cause. blackrams MAR 26, 12:28 PM quote Originally posted by maryjane: "pilot induced" intentionally or pilot caused by inadvertent action or lack of action? Huge difference. I think we're all hoping the second black box will answer those questions, assuming it's found and the data contained within is still retrievable. Rams maryjane MAR 26, 12:34 PM and the Chicoms release the truth about what that data is... blackrams MAR 26, 01:26 PM quote Originally posted by maryjane: and the Chicoms release the truth about what that data is... What? Who would doubt that? Rams Hudini MAR 26, 04:37 PM Still no word on the suspected cause from my airline. I did get a safety question survey already. How do I feel about this crash? What can be done to prevent another? The pres of here said we must "assure safety", what do you feel needs to be changed? My answers were short. I didn't answer the first question because how I feel is the same as everyone who hears of a massive loss of life. On the second I said wait until the investigation completes before doing anything. On the third question I said China has one of the best safety records in the world in the last 10 years so wait until the investigation completes before changing anything. Maybe they were just throwing it out there to see if we have some pilots with a chip on their shoulder who needed to vent. As you guys might suspect, the gov here seems to massively overreact to anything bad. Just look at how they handle this virus, massive lock downs and disruptions over 5 or 10 infections. Now with thousands of infections from Omicron it's insane. I get tested every other day now. Also, with regards to aviation, the same overreaction happens every time there is even a small mistake. I'm hoping they will find the cause and then, and only then, make whatever changes need to be made, if any. Accidents are usually a chain of events. Disrupt one link in that chain and prevent the accident. 82-T/A [At Work] MAR 28, 07:58 AM quote Originally posted by maryjane: and the Chicoms release the truth about what that data is... Speculating here, but if by some rare chance it was a pilot who intentionally (knowingly) caused the crash, I'd wonder if they would allow that to get out, rather... use the opportunity to blame Boeing. maryjane MAR 28, 06:41 PM Only if the guilty pilot was Uyghur or American.... blackrams MAR 28, 11:25 PM I read today that the second "black box" has been found, no word on condition. Will be interesting to learn what data is contained in it. Of course, this assumes the Chinese let that info out. Rams
