Jeeeezus!!!
Sky News:
"Jetstar passengers tell of their fear when their Airbus caught fire!"
Together with the usual passenger cell phone footage..........
All the usual comments "Same type as the Air France Airbus"; "No indication it was the same problem"; "Passengers have praised the pilots for extinguishing the fire."
Not denigrating the crew - well done, very professional, another good day in the office - but I wonder what else they would do but extinguish the fire? Cook their breakfast or brew up a morning coffee perhaps?
Can't say I've ever traveled in an A330 but I doubt I'd get too excited about a cockpit window heating element getting fried, especially when I know the guys in the front seat have very well developed personal survival instincts!
Another day of the life of an Australian airline! Hope Jetstar don't charge the passengers extra for the stop over!
