Relagsingh 4th Gear March 8, 2014 Share March 8, 2014 If it is indeed true, RIP I believe All the planes shd be grounded wef They won't until all fact findings are done. Or at least anything they can determine from the flight data recorder if found. China send 20 ships and 2 helicopters, as seen in the news They'll need to due to the majority of China pax.

Myxilplix Turbocharged March 8, 2014 Share March 8, 2014 If that is the actual crash site, then *maybe* any crash survivors will have better chance of survival. At least it's partially sheltered from the open sea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Richard Quest will be sad if he remembers this photo. All hope not lost till resources and efforts are exhausted. Wish all including the SAR team all the best.

Tohto Hypersonic March 8, 2014 Share March 8, 2014 I realized that everytime i go east asia region, my plane would experience turbulent in south china sea. Everytime. No miss. Either i took SQ, Cathay, Korean Air, china airline, china eastern, asiana, eva and china southern. Every plane either its A320 or A380 I just told my wife the same experience earlier. After fly pass south china sea, the flight will be stable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackyv Turbocharged March 8, 2014 Share March 8, 2014 now I'm getting worried. going to Seoul fron SG next week....... sweat.....

Shull Turbocharged March 8, 2014 Share March 8, 2014 No worries lar, you have higher chance of dying from car accident anytime than a flight to Seoul.... but can't deny subconsciously will think about it and worries set in... Just don't think about it. I've been flying week in week out for almost half of 2013. Even on the day after the Asiana airlines crash. I board the plane with holding Straits times with the picture of the burning wreckage on the front page. Just shut myself out from it and let fate take it's course 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're much more likely to die getting to the airport than you are flying in the plane," said the editors at Discovery. 1 in 5,000 Odds that you will be killed in a car crash. 1 in 11 million Chance that you will be killed in an airplane crash 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I work at the airport and go to work everyday then each year I will go 300 times. After 10 year 3,000 times and after 20 years 6,000 times So before working 20 years at the airport chances are I will be killed? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
