at the very least sell the a380 and use the change to update the remaining 777 interior to current standards
those interior upgrades is long overdue
-
where is the jets -
yup this plane is now famous on fb
bad time to buy a plane when everyone is already grumbling
-
DCA and Police should be notified
Take the guy in and give him a good hard lesson so others will be educated.
-
when will it come to its new owner?
During LIMA?
-
any chance of announcement on 777 replacement this year or next?
the silence is deafening
-
the 777 feels like the cancer of Malaysia Airlines. From the 2 tragic crashes, to outdated interior. The 777 seems to be the dark shadow of the fleet. The time we see them go might signifies a new beginning.
-
MH's 777 interior looks tired and dated and its not going yo be changed not until around 2018?
-
the beast has already been spotted in a KL carltex station....
-
so the plane actually could have crashed in straits of Malacca?? How did nobody realise that? I feel something is beieng kept from us. How far did the plane turn back on the air force radar?
What justifies searching this area? so many questions
-
maybe that can prevent engines going missing

A woman was arrested by the police after she climbed over the railing at Changi Airport Terminal 1 onto the netting below the Kinetic Rain sculpture on Saturday morning. -- PHOTO: STOMP

A woman was arrested by the police after she climbed over the railing at Changi Airport Terminal 1 onto the netting below the Kinetic Rain sculpture on Saturday morning.
A police spokesman said they received a call about the incident at 8.28am, and on arrival at the airport, officers arrested a woman in her 30s under the Mental Health Act.
Investigations are ongoing, he said. A one-minute video circulating online shows the woman in a white dress perched precariously on the netting. Police officers later helped to pull her back onto safe ground.
A Changi Airport Group spokesman said the Kinetic Rain display was damaged by the intrusion, with some strings on the art sculpture entangled. "We have referred the matter to the police and our engineers are arranging for the sculpture to be repaired."

San Francisco bans helmet cams after they capture firefighters running over Asiana crash victimBy Arturo Garcia
Members of the San Francisco Fire Department have been banned from using helmet cameras during operations after video surfaced showing firefighters running over and killing a victim of the July 2013 Oceana Airlines plane crash.
The Associated Press reported on Monday that video from Battalion Chief Mark Johnson’s helmet camera shows a fire truck running over 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan, who was lying on the ground following the crash. Johnson had apparently not been told of Yuan’s whereabouts or condition while directing the truck.
The discovery of the footage led Chief Joanne Hayes-White to expand a 2009 order banning cameras on department grounds to include helmet cameras, citing concerns over firefighters’ safety.
“The timing may not look good,” a department spokesperson told KTVU-TV. “But the fact of the matter is, this is the first helmet camera issue that’s occurred since the 2009 policy was created that [Hayes-White] was aware of.”
But Hayes-White’s order was immediately questioned by both the Black Firefighters Association (BFA), of which Johnson is a member, and an attorney for Ye’s family, Anthony Tarricone.
“Why would anybody not want to know the truth?” Tarricone told the AP. “What’s wrong with knowing what happened? What’s wrong with keeping people honest? That’s what the helmet cam did, in effect, in this case.”
Meanwhile, BFA president Kevin Smith told the AP that the department seems to be more concerned with its potential liability than with improving firefighters’ efficiency, arguing that helmet cameras help improve communications between firefighters and their commanders.
“The department should develop a progressive policy to use this tool in a way that is beneficial and not simply restrict its use,” Smith told the AP. “We are public servants, we serve the public. Why be secretive?”

It happened at SFO it could have been BKI

Is it possible for the toilets to overflow? I assume it is designed to cope with more passengers than the plane can actually carry?

I think if the Media (The Star) did not approach him he would still be living in the transit area. MAHB has already said they let him in due to media pressure.

AFP confirms that one of the two girls who died in the crash was run over by an emergency vehicle. God bless! She died a violent death. RIP.
It is definitely normal, as some pilot may want to upgrade themselves to higher tier widebody or even downgrade to narrowbody. Imagine you are stuck with B737 or A320 for rest of you life.....You won't enjoy much of your job at all.
Probably the first ever death from a rescue vehicle? But I find it hard to understand how she could get run over maybe in the rush to get to the site the driver was just not even looking at what he is driving towards and wonder if the driver would get charged for manslaughter?
Also it seems evacuation was delayed as passengers were told to remain in their seats...
San Francisco crash: passengers had been told to stay on plane
Passengers aboard the Asiana Airlines plane that crashed in San Francisco on Saturday were initially told not to evacuate the aircraft after it skidded to a halt on the runway, a federal safety official said on Wednesday.
But a flight attendant saw fire outside the plane and the call to exit was made, 90 seconds after the crash, according to Deborah Hersman, who chairs the national transportation safety board (NTSB. The first emergency response vehicles arrived 30 seconds later.
