When I caught it on the news wire last night, first thing I did was fire up FS2004 - low and behold - thunderstorms all over the place.

So far passengers say that after almost stopping on a runway the engines roared and a plane ran forward, crashed into a "voyenstroy" fence, buring and killing 120+ people...

C'mon, fly Airbus computer-controlled planes, that turn on engines to take-off power for a go-around after a safe lading...

I worked with OS/360 20 years ago. Oh... Sorry, 19 years ago, back in 1987.

I am happy that i don't have to use perforated cards now. But I know how to handle them ;) Just in case ;)

Maybe the pilot hit the T/GA button. Or he decided he needed to Go around. Or he got confused on how the reverse works. I bet on the crew more than the plane.

Sucks to die from being almost stoped on the runway.

Airbus has said time and again that their software is perfect.

Therefore it must be!

WLDCRD thats actually a popular myth and not the reason the plane crashed.

You can look it up, the info's out there.

Actually crashed due to low, slow and the pilot was late putting power on.
