Broken Planes & Families, and the number 159
Passenger jet breakes in two! How safe are those planes we ride everyday?
![]() http://news.yahoo.com/cheers-screams...185128270.html GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived. Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot. The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry. |

Yep. That was an explosive decompression caused by fatigue, but the fuselage didn't break in half. They just got a really bitchin skylight.

![]() This incident brought about changes as to how often aging aircraft are inspected for metal fatigue and corrosion. Although it was catastrophic and one flight attendant died, the airplane held together and was able to land. BTW… this is the same basic airframe involved with Caribbean Airlines Flight 523 proving that it had an incident on the ground right after landing (the photo shows the engine thrust reversers still deployed as they would be after landing). |

Look, you made a rather humorous goof. Just laugh it off like the rest of us are.

No, clearly Frankie is right. He found a small detail which aligns slightly with his agenda and now aircraft shred apart in mid-air for no reason at all other than because Frankie said so. The worlds-a-changin...

I fear that you may be right. At least he has the common sense not to post in here again.

I have flown through some crazy weather before. I wondered if the damn plane was going together or not...

No, you foolishly thought that a commercial aircraft could have such a failure while in flight (apparently). Did you really think that was possible?
