I never saw an airbus crash before anyway the plane was too long for the short runway(maybe)but I’m sure that it would fly in airports where there are longer runways also why did they put a wall there?it would have flown if there wasn’t a wall there(I’m not really sure about the sentence I said just now)and acutually that was the HQ of Airbus!Anyway when I saw that I really don’t fell like riding airbus anymore but I liked the Airbus A380!I rode it twice before and it was my best day ever because my flight was from Hong Kong to France and back(I’m not Chinese!I’m an American living in Hong Kong and I just spent the holidays in France the back to school in Hong Kong!)

Thanks Aero. Any idea why the press releases just vanished? Glad to hear there were no deaths. Makes it more OK to laugh at.

I have been a commercial pilot for over 30 years. I was there when this crash happened. The aircraft was due to be delivered to the customer, Etihad Airways on the following day. The aircraft is an Airbus A340-600, a stretched version of the Airbus A340-300. The aircraft was crewed by Engineers and Maintenance technicians, and not pilots. The aircraft was taken out on an engine run for engine validation checks, which usually takes about 3 hours to perform. This involves running the engines at different thrust ratings, and at times taking them to maximum static thrust. Somehow the brakes on the aircraft failed causing the Airbus to leap forward and crashing into the blast deflector fence. Normal procedures for high thrust power runs require the main gear to be chained down to the tarmac, to prevent this type of accident.

Luckily, there were no deaths from this accident. Just some bruised ego and scars.

Iranians are Persians, not Arabs, so it isn’t racist! The Iranian leadership are, however, morons!

A buddy of mine ex B52 driver was chief instructor on L-1011’s at Iranian Airlines, said you could teach monkeys how to fly easier than the Iranians. These guys should never be allowed in the air

Look at what you guys are saying. It’s a simple air crash for god’s sake. Why do we have to bring in Muslims and Arabs in the conversation then start linking them to terrorists?

Terrorists exist all around the globe and from every country. These guys have no religion. It’s unfair to accuse a whole nation of being TERRORIST because of the actions of one or 2 or even 10 people.

And to the Ignorant person who said “THAT’S WHY GOD GAVE THEM CAMELS”. I THINK YOU ARE THE MOST UNEDUCATED PERSON ON EARTH. Go visit the Arab countries and then tell me if it’s full of Camels. Do you read history at all? Civilization has started from that region centuries before you are born. But I guess you don’t read and brain washed with all the media.

Take some time to open your eyes and watch this:

As an American, this vedeo was shocking. Watch it then talk.
