Trev - to say the crash is not very significant show a distinct lack of aviation knowledge or interest. For your information there were 5 NZers on board. Apart from that this could have a very big impact on Airbus A/C considering the nature of the accident and lack of any prior warning of any problems coupled with the FBW controls on the Airbus. For the aviation industry and those interested in aviation the cause of this crash is of great importance and as such this crash is very significant indeed. |

I agree with Metla a bad weekend in NZ could kill say 8 or 10 people esp a van crash but it dosent get much attention. Dumb airplane gets a control problem and crashes killing 5 is major news for days its quite wrong. |

Sorry couldn't disagree with you more. :) |

| 724232 | 2008-12-02 10:18:00 | Um, what if the plane (exactly the same plane) got back to NZ and a few weeks later went on a trip to say Aussie for example with 150+ people on board and crashed. It doesn't matter how many people on the plane, whether 5, or 150, it's still a huge deal. Normally, car crashes are due to driver fault (drunks, distractions etc), whereas planes usually are a lot more serious. I dunno about you, but everytime I get on a plane I expect it to be safe. Whereas when I go driving I expect myself to drive defensively and keep myself safe. Probably doesn't make much sense ^, but the chances of having an accident driving on the road are a lot higher than a plane crashing. If car crashes only happened once a week, then they'd probably make it to the news too. |

If car crashes only happened once a week, then they'd probably make it to the news too. In other words. If it's on the news you probably don't have to worry about it. Top causes of death, and see which ones make the news. (1) Diseases of the heart 28.5% (2) Malignant neoplasms 22.8% (3) Cerebrovascular disease 6.7% (4) Chronic lower respiratory disease 5.1% (5) Unintentional injuries 4.4% (6) Diabetes mellitus 3.0% (7) Influenza and pneumonia 2.7% (8) Alzheimer's Disease 2.4% (9) Nephritis and Nephrosis 1.7% (10) Septicemia 1.4% (11) Intentional self-harm 1.3% (12) Chronic Liver/Cirrhosis 1.1% (13) Essential Hypertension 0.8% (14) Assault 0.7% |

| 724236 | 2008-12-02 22:39:00 | Well given the number of people that are transported throughout the world in these planes and given the fact that more and more distrust seems to surfacing among those closely involved with them, then it becomes imperative they find exactly what happened. It’s not necessarily only those on board that are at risk if one decides to do a hell dive over a city. :stare: |
