VNA 1 with PM Vu Van Ninh diverted from Dulles

Anyone recalls the Vietnam Airlines B777 incident when the Prime Minister missed his reception in Washington on Feb 7th, 2012?

Well, the crew was unable to comply with ATC after a "cleared for Visual Approach" was issued, they ended up getting thrown out of the cue and vectored somewhere esle

I guess its getting to be an Asian Syndrome:

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has banned foreign pilots from making visual approaches to KSFO airport runways 28 left and right.
The move follows the crash of the ASIANA B773 that killed three people on 6 July, a low approach by an Eva Air B773 on 23 July that prompted a go-around command by the airport tower, and several missed approaches by pilots of foreign airlines since 1 June.

If you cant fly, just get a desk job and stop tryng to kill pelople
