"I'd be terrified too, ending up in Mackay"
HAHAH! How true...! (I live in MK)

Listened to radio calls inbound here and watched (and videoed) the thing landing... Took a while to get down - had to orbit for a while to lose height, so can understand it would be getting fairly hot in that big tube...

Best part was the fire-fighters on the ground here THAT morning had just done their routine burn and extinguish exercises, so most likely pumped up; they were trailing the 190 on taxi like a fat kid after cake! (Nice job firey's, seriously not taking the p!ss!)

The passengers were terrified at the thought of having to catch the next QLink or Jetstar service out of Mackay....:eek:
