JK5022 left the gate 5mins late at 1305LT, subsequently returned to ramp
at 1342 and new ETD set at 1425LT. Delay due to 'technical defects' |
I agree with previous posts. The Media are a disgrace at the moment with what they are reporting. Mindless garbage is a phrase that comes to mind. One report actually mentioned the fact the a/c didn't have the chance even to 'dump fuel' over the Atlantic. That's just sensationalist as this a/c cannot dump fuel.
In answer to a previous question.... yes we discuss all previous accident reports and try to learn from them. My thoughts are with the families of those on board. This is so sad. |
46 dead according to CNN+ Spain.
|
45 confirmed dead by the Government
|
Facts.
Tragic in whatever circumstances.
However, why do ill informed people on here keep regurtitating so called "facts" that they have lifted from even less well informed media sources? Unless you have concrete and accurate information, why post anything? Rant over. F |
150 Dead????
BBC reports 150 people dead! Is that true?

''it just my imagination but do the MD-8x range seem to be involved in more accidents than other types of aircraft?'' yes it is your imagination I think, the Dc/Md 9/80 series has an respectable safety record,easily comparable with anything similar. You may be mistaking the fact that it is still a very widely used a/c. |
A Red Cross representative is reporting 45 dead, but this will probably not be the final number of casualties.

"flight international reporting iminent spanair industrial action due to imminent job losses.wonder if this was a contributing factor to the pilots and staff state of mind."
What are you trying to say? :confused: |

Spanish Govt saying 45 dead with 19 serious injuries - at this stage. The other extreme is only 25 survivours which would leave about 150 fatalities. Terrible news.

Hi all,
Sad day at LEMD. First departures now , RWY 36R is now open for departures. RWY36L closed ufn. The crash site is in between both runways. Emergency equipment and helicopters are still working the area, evacuating wounded and extinguising fire on the ground. JM |
It isn't new. Someone else can provide exact details but as the MD87 and 88 are in service I think it's safe to conclude that the 82 is "fairly" old.
|
This is the only 100% reliable information so far since its comes direct from a Press Release. I have the same release from SAS and from Spanair themselves. When the next official release arrives on my desk I'll post it.
|
for this being a Lufthansa code share flight, Lufthanse really takes a VERY long time to respond.
Checking the Lufthansa flight number on their website (LH 2554) reports that the flight has been canceld. |
