WOW a coffee pot was falling to the floor. How did they survive?
and a 600fpm descent. wow.
can any of you say: WAFDOF?
To me, it sounds like a controller gave the same altitude to two different planes and before some amateur reporter jumps up and down talking about east/west altitudes. IT DOES HAPPEN that controllers can and do give you (read clear you) for a Wrong Altitude/Flight Level (for) Direction of Flight.
AND YES, its wrong to give the same altitude to two different planes on a head on course.
Now, something happened here. CNN just reported that NTSB and FAA investigators are now enroute (w 20 days after the event) to HNL center to investigate.
And hey, the airline COMP'd inflight entertainment for the whole plane!
DEAR REPORTERS: If you had an FAA/NTSB report to go with this , it would be kind of interesting.
But you are obviously just playing on flying fears in the wake of MH370.
