Re: post # 136 from rolandpull.
Hearing that story scares the crap outta me....and it isn't the first time such an episode happens when pilots stretch the limits.
Lion Air also went below limits 5 years ago in Bali (where I now live) on a brand new B737. They were lucky and splashed into the water short of the runway..... fortunately everyone survived.
As an often-passenger flying on budget airlines in South Asia I'm now more scared than when getting shot at in a Hastings doing supply drops to Gurkhas near Kuching... during Confrontation.
