Things like this happens in unexpected situation. If the people are fated to die they will die. If its not for this flight they will die somewhere else.
I have travelled with Air korea few months and had great flight thank u
Goodness!!!!!!Such hate!!!! Hate is after all just the stepping stone to “activities” that I am sure YOU totally are comfortable thinking and doing….
The scar this must’ve left on that poor girl… Just sickening.
Damn I hate it when anything happens to Asians !! exception to india……they can go to hell !!!
@1722tasmania
SHUT THE FUCK UP! You think Singapore is bad! Then fuck you!
@DLPBurke
i am agree with you . if i was a pilot i will pulled up .
why do pilots have to keep dying everytime even they are unharmed by debris?
the music on the moment of impact reminded me of the situation at Birgenair 301
@lotharzipo They had far longer than 5 seconds to evaluate the situation. They should have been nowhere near that end result if they had took the correct decision the minute the situation was dangrous as opposed to 10 seconds before it was deadly.
@DLPBurke yea that would be good but in like 5 secs that wouldnt come in ur mind
i cryed when the mum was telling her daughter to go
I don’t think so. IT is common sense, and regulation. They disobeyed it.
thats soo easy to say that when you are not in that situation.
i know eh!!
these communist dudes needa stop going around telling us the world needs to be like them and that america sucks!!
their eyes are to small to see and make execellent judgements. And, yeah, the typical whiteman recuer and hero.
pilot error. Should have pulled up when they could not see runway.
…uhhh…
I lived about a mile away when this happened! I was only five years old, we were a military family when we lived there. It was really scary!
Was that part of the rules in 1997 or recent. A lot of rules have changed now and they’re safer. Anyway the first officer was fresh and alert probably and wanted the missed approach. The captain was probably tired and just trusted the instruments. The captain just wanted to land and then go to bed.
You’re right, they should’ve asked or confirmed again that the glideslope isn’t working. But also you have to understand that 1) they’re tired, they just want to land and go to sleep. 2) they had visual sight of the airport, so they assumed that the glideslope was just probably working or at least bringing them to the right direction. I’m not defending the pilots, but I’m sure they didn’t MEAN to kill themselves and those people. It was a mistake, a costly one at that. May they Rest In Peace
Blame India ? You can´t be serious. Why not blame them for Pan Am 103 and the loss of two spaceshuttles ? Man, wake up ! India has really nothing to do with this tragedy. Can´t believe this….
exactly what l thought, their reaction was illogical. They know they are gonna relay onto something that isn’t supposed to be functionning, ASKING wouldn’t have been a crazy thing to do…
Maybe they were too dependant of the system and they thought the maintenance was over… nah, they just DECIDED WILLINGLY to ignore what ATC said, hence the result.
I am American living in Singapore for work. As far as I know Singapore is worse than communist country. It’s a bitch country.
