British Airways fire: Jet's suppression system didn't work, source says
(CNN)The British Airways jetliner that caught fire on the Las Vegas airport's tarmac had suppression equipment, but it just didn't work to suppress the flames, a source close to the investigation said Wednesday. Twenty-seven people associated with British Airways Flight 2276 were treated at the Nevada city's Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, spokeswoman Sylvia Song said. All had been released by Wednesday afternoon. (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I doubt that. These engines are some of the most reliable in the industry. Most likely a one off occurrence.
I would agree 100%. If one looks at the statistics, one failure among how many thousands (if not millions) of flights is just a bizarre occurrence that is unlikely to re-occur. It just seems I have seen inspections ordered for more minor incidents.
They are reliable and I feel they will find the cause. Whether it is enough for grounding or inspection will remain to be seen. If it is something serious enough, airlines may look at it themselves to avoid a repeat of same.
Trust CNN.
Sure we do. LOL
