Vega Turbocharged March 8, 2014 Share March 8, 2014 My initial fear when I saw the news this morning was that N. Korea may have test fired their missiles and this plane when into its trajectory without knowing. this type of incident happened few days ago with China Southern Airline. luckily nothing happen. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ins1dious Turbocharged March 8, 2014 Share March 8, 2014 (edited) It is not, but you said "Landing on water is confirm worse than landing on land lah" mah... Frankly, I don't know which is better (or worse in your context).. Just thought that if the pilot still has some control over the plane, an emergency landing over water might be easier to negotiate. Just my thoughts. I am no expert. Perhaps a pilot is able to share some knowledge. There has been emergency landings done on water. The Miracle on the Hudson River comes to mind. But in that case, the pilot realized there was an issue and managed an almost perfect landing on water. There was some control. If it's sudden like the Air France crash in the Atlantic then no chance lor. Edit: if you guys can find the black box voice recording of the Air France crash, listen to it. It's gripping stuff. Unbelievable tension when you listen to it. Edited March 8, 2014 by ins1dious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atonchia Supersonic March 8, 2014 Share March 8, 2014 (edited) Sad to say most crashes in sea or ocean have zero survivors. Unless we are say ditching/force landing into sea/land in controlled manner, then survivor rate will be higher. The hudson river ditching of US Airways is the one of a kind with no injuries or fatalities. Our Silk Air MI185 has no survivor. The Ntl Geographic, Air Crash Investigation with the Aeroperu also crashed in the sea with no survivor Difficult to even find remains. When sudden disappearance from Radar with no emergency RT, seems like crashed than emergency ditching. Hope the best for rescue and retrieval works. Hope the cause is not sabotage.
