"Ben Sandilands from Plane Talking
....one thing is indisputable. This was the most serious incident ever to happen without loss of life in airline operations in Australia."
Well,
I'll kick off with Air China's 747SP descending into the YSBK control zone on downwind for 16R at YSSY.
How that didn't cause a disaster of epic proportion is anyone's guess.
What about Malaysia Airlines 744 off 27 in YMML, even after prompting from the tower, still took off on the short rwy, cleaned up a heap of lights etc, but no didn't jettison and land asap, nope, they continued to KL.
I'm sure there is plenty of other 'incidents', my fellow ppruners might care to share with the ever accurate, never exaggerating press....
