How many deaths would be needed to repeal this insistance on speaking French....?

It would seem that by all accounts it was luck that they did not collide. But only time and the investigation will prove that either way.

Lets asume that the Air France A340 was carrying 250 passengers and the BA 320 around 100 passengers. This means that if this runway collison didnt have 'luck' on its side there would have been 350 plus people killed or badly injured.

Tenerife MKII, but for altogther different causes. French ego.

So if the death of 1 person 10 years ago was not enought to stop the French persisting with this murderous rule of French language, would 350+ deaths have been enough???

Lets hope that this thread is never revisted in years to come with someone saying 'we told you so'

CDG is downright bloody dangerous
