Man that was some good piloting. Work the problem....

The cockpit transcripts would be an interesting read.

This one always puzzled me. http://aviation-safety.net/database/1980/800819-1.htm

The video looks computer generated to me. (Hey, I could be wrong… wouldn’t be the first time)

Matter of fact, I’ve been working to create custom aviation accident photos and videos like this for the last 6 months. I use them for training scenarios for airport fire fighters.

Definitely a Kurt Tank design!

Well, from what I understood from the classroom presentation back in 1986, some dweeb was cooking food in the back of the plane and started the fire. The flightdeck crew ignored/didn't want to take orders from the cabin crew or was impaired by the products of combustion.

Toxic smoke will quickly incapacitate or kill people in fire (not heat or flame). Burning plastics create some of the most toxic gases known to man. Add in all the products of combustion in an enclosed area with lots of people...

Well, if you get any time in the Mideast, you run into the notion that people like to brew up with their propane-burning stoves -- this is probably a pernicious holdover from the brits. So my understanding was it was someone in the cabin brewing tea.

Dinger, I think your right. It was tea and not food.

I just always wondering what they were doing for the 6 minutes between landing and shutting off the engines. Between this and the Egypt Air kamikazes I think I will avoid middle eastern airlines.

Exactly. "Sort it out on the ground" doesn't mean "Sort it out when we get the jetway pulled up".

The L-1011 was caused by someone brewing tea. We were briefed on it when I was flying 1011's.

It's a concept pretty foreign to an American.

The CVR on that one is like some kind of CRM nightmare.

Tea is important...

... but not that important.
