Hope the crew stood in front of the aircraft and had a photo taken for the scrapbook. And hope they had a few cold beers after. It's not everyday your wreck a jumbo after all:ok:

Yes, but didn't see it posted anywhere. Sorry, if it already was. Seemed like this thread about the accident was a good place to put it. Will continue to do similar in the future.

It doesn't matter which operator or which country; no matter how much recurrent sim training and CRM has been given and will be given; there will always be the select group of captains, experienced and non experienced, who get spooked and can't keep their paws off the thrust levers after V1. These folks either have a personality disorder, or are dumb or just plain stupid. :eek:

It's called being human. It takes all kinds.
We'd all like to think that we'd perform perfectly in a real emergency, but it's not always the case.
