We reached the 100 mark... we left off the old thread here:
Old thread, final page
Here's a thought, provoked by Airboeings post which mentioned the enormous proportions fuel leaks can assume: this wasn't a catastrophic situation, the crew had time to analyse the problem and gather data. If you had been on that flight deck, do you think it would have occured to you to call the cabin and ascertain whether there was a *visible* leak, and whether your actions had ameliorated it?
This, and the Concorde thread, have been some of the best I've seen lately - some very thoughtful contributions. I'll be very interested to hear the final verdict on this one, it definitely falls into the 'can't happen... but it did' category.
