Edwin P K 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2006 i saw the JL123 episode yesterday as well.It looked so real and the graphic was so nice. The 4 survivors was really a miracle.There was only 4 survivors out of approximately 500 passengers. In my opinion,if the helicopter made a stop when they find the crash site and start to rescue,the death toll will not be that high.It had just so sad that they were not going for help and waited after one day then only start to rescue for survivors. The production has always been fantastic, and the performance was really good, coupled with the awesome rendering of how the events took place. It goes to show that maintenance of this airplanes are so important, and I can't believe they didn't take all previous aspects into consideration. Didn't Boeing recommend that it should only fly 1000 times (or 10,000 times?) after the repair? It flew more than 1200 times! And yeah, it was so sad. It's a miracle that they actually survived the crash, and even bigger miracle that they survived the 14 HOURS wait. I still can't believe they didn't immediately search for survivors.

Naim 6 Report post Posted May 18, 2006 ... Didn't Boeing recommend that it should only fly 1000 times (or 10,000 times?) after the repair? It flew more than 1200 times! The show blames Boeing for shoddy repair job on the damaged bulkhead, and the Boeing investigation guy cried when he found that out. They used only one row of rivets instead of two, hence making the repaired portion weak. .ny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woei Shen 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) I missed the programme again. Checking astro website for the time of repeat. I found this : AIR CRASH INVESTIGATION Channel: National Geographic(52) Date: Sunday, May 21, 2006 Time: 10:00:00 PM Synopsis: Flight 811 cargo door opened suddenly. This caused 5 rows of seats and 9 passengers to be flanked out. Mayday investigates the cause of the tragedy. I thought this week is JAL123?

Woei Shen 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) Hmm anyone watched Sunday's ACI? Flight 811's cargo door just opened.. sigh.. sometimes sitting in front isn't a good thing. Would you rather get sucked into the engine, or..... have a free fall into pacific ocean and drown. Hmm tough choice Edited May 23, 2006 by Woei Shen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Min Chun 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 They force you to learn Islamic History as well? Should I say force? All are in syllabus, hence need to memorise all. I realise that 1GB of memory card isnt enough for 2 years of Sejarah(only)! Flight 811 and the suicide attack, both have been shown before. Especailly the suicide one, really horrible!
