I do wish someone would clarify the 'near miss' report tho, if cutting the wingtip off in flight and starting a fire qualifies as a near miss then that'd do it
Mind you given the near miss between two unrelated planes in India , the originating country of this flight, perhaps the media is mis-attributing an entirely different incident.
Oh my God who is this pink faced bearded bespeckled buffoon on Al Jazeera right now, he looks like the lights are triggering his fight-or-flight response but sadly he opted for the former and didn't leave the studio, so merely opined that something ... probably ... went ... wrong.... is it so unreasonable to expect that someone called upon to give "expert" testimony following a life threatening emergency would have the internet?
