Teoh Z Yao 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2006 Why it has to be "luckily", Andrew? You can still take pictures of her in KUL and anywhere else she flies in the 777 route network when she's fixed up and back flying (which should be in no time at all) Ha... True... I also felt weird when I first read, as if MRI has crashed and not to be seen anymore in the future... Andrew, you can still take pictures of it! Cheers! ;-) And god what have you done???? Yeah... What have you done! Haha... Seriously, Edwin, are you worried if the investigators find out you guys were in the cockpit just days prior to the incident and might ask you guys out for questioning? Or are you excited? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"A plane can actually fly as well on one engine as with two, but you don't really want to fly to Kuala Lumpur on one engine." Wonder how will the 777 fly with one engine? And I believe the engines still working eventhou the explosion, am I correct here? The passengers would be rebooked on other flights, he said.

Teoh Z Yao 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2006 (edited) 9M-MRI was perfectly fine on the 29th Oct for test flight... now she got sick leave in ARN...pity her Finally we hear from someone from the MH T7 fleet! ;-) And so, guys, you see we aren't even sure if everything is gonna be alright after a test flight. What is the certainty for a test flight result? What has probably been the reason that no problem was detected during the test flight but something came up after it went into service again? Thanks!

Edwin Yii 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2006 sometime..i think its just Luck ... as im sure during the checks..the engineers did a superb job and the test flight went well... but when its bound to happen, it just happen without any warning...just like a computer or any other stuff .. nothing's perfect !

Guest Tina123 Report post Posted November 25, 2006 Does anyone know what actually happened when a 772 dropped enginge parts after taking off from Stockholm? Is it safe to fly MH from Stockholm? Do they still use exactly the same plane as the one that drooped the engine parts? /Tina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Teh 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2006 I am sure it is safe to fly on MH from Stockholm or anywhere. The 772 with parts fell off is back in service after it is repaired. And of course it is possible to have it in ARN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
