I wasn't trying to jynx the brand new aircraft.

Like If a cargo carrying A380 had to do a belly landing it would be impossible for the pilots to get hurt since there so high up

Why not? This is the year we're living now so it's quite appropriate to use this year isn't it?

I know it's like calling the devil but like I said Tupolev hasn't been in any crash where people lost lives in this year and there's couple thousand -134 and -154 manufactured and flying quite often under colours of third world carriers.
When was last year when nobody didn't die in a Boeing?

Well, the mayor of Chicago (King of Chicago) want to turn
meigs (Northly Island) in to a Gambling mecca.

Right now There is a group fighting the King on this.

If they can return meigs to the airport
is a question that mayl be answered some time in
the future...

BTW,  I would be very happy to kick him in the nuts as you suggest
and in fact some are trying to as we speak... see link

LOLOL!!!

Ohhh....I think you lot did alright out of lend-lease.

According to Hansard, the record of note for the debates that take place in the UK the Houses of Parliament, the debate in the Commons on 28th February 2002 shows that the UK expected to complete its repayment of its monetary debt to the USA on 31st December 2006, over 61 years from the conclusion of World War II

Think about that Staga, when you compare stats.  If you have 100 Volvos racing around a track, and 10 BMW's, which model is more likely to have a higher chance of an accident? I made this a simple scenario so you'd understand the power of statistics.

There are 953 Tup's in active commercial service. There are 14,000 Boeing aircraft in service. So your statistics are a bit skewed, can you admit that or are you going to pretend not to see the facts and look foolish?

The answer to the original Question is...NOTHING!

Aircraft will always suffer malfunctions and fall out of the sky,it has happened to Boeing it has happended to Airbus.

What he should have said is Boeing make fantastic aicraft and we in Europe make aircraft that..err SUCK.

Starting?

He just can't admit when he's wrong about something. Comparing the stat of people dying on an aircraft that has 14 times more planes in the air than a competitor is just plain rediculous, but Staga will never admit it. Fragile egos rarely do.

I heard on BBC that it was DC-9.
Not really a Boeing.
