Not when you flying with A340-200/300's CFM engines...they're like four hairdryers on the wing....

I really hope they can find the FDR and CVR soon....
it might not provide the cause of the accident...but definately give hints to the investigators of where to look for clues.....

some say the A340 can take off due to the curvature of the earth surface...

i always love the sound from the Trent 800 engines....

it is being speculated that the airspeed sensors on the aircraft iced over, and the pilots ended up hitting the speed of sound in bad weather causing the aircraft to tear to pieces.

Interesting. What is even more sad is the fact that the woman who missed the plane got hit by a car. death follows... scary stuff.
