This from the initial post on this thread has got me scratching my head.
"The airline said 297 passengers and 12 crew were aboard the plane."
Followed a couple of lines later with......................
"The long haul A340 jet, which can carry up to 250 people, overshot the runway and crashed into trees and bushes in a gully that separates the airport perimeter from a busy highway."
So tell me, how many does a 343 carry and how many were onboard the aircraft.
Well Done Crew.
tipsy
me thinks somebody just used one of my 9 lives.
