Vietnam Airlines Foreign Pilot Assaulted
 

Ho Chi Mihn City, Vietnam
September 24, 2009

Thursday evening, while riding his motorbike to his home in Ho Chi Mihn City, an American Pilot working for Vietnam Airlines, and his female companion, were run down by a car driven by a drunk driver and occupied by several other Vietnamese males.

Immediately following the accident, the American Pilot and his female friend were viciously attacked by the occupants of the vehicle. The attack caused serious injury to the American pilot and his female companion.

The injured pilot will have surgery immediately to repair broken bones and severe lacerations. The attack happen in front of Vietnam airlines head quarters while the airline security staffs watched and did not help.

The attackers were 3 male Vietnamese. 2 are Vietnam Airlines employees, including 1 Vietnamese pilot. When the attacker realized that they were attacking and beating a foreign pilot, they stopped and then offered assistance to him and his companion who they had already injured. sadly, by that time serious injury had already been done. A while later, the local police arrived.

As regular passenger on Vietnam Airlines, how can we feel safe flying on an airplane flown by such violent and irresponsible Vietnamese pilots? How can the forgien pilot feel working along side someone who would attack them at any moment?

As a woman, how can we feel safe on a Vietnam airlines flight knowing the pilots could be the same ones who visciously attacked the innocent female companion?

For ex-pats overseas although not normal, it can happen...where's your source for your post...sounds like maybe you have an agenda...

Don't know about the shiela's source mate, but no furphey here. Bloody oath, seen the damage.

What these mongrels did to the poor chap and his mate in unexcusable. Mob of shonky bloody monkeys they are.

Where Did You Hear The Story !
 

Hi Guys,

Who told you the story? Did you see the accident? Don't know what happened but for sure there will be many many versions.

Lets not over react and ask the pilot what happened.:=

Violent assault was made. The pilot is in need of medical treatment!
What kind of version do you need? Are you implying that maybe the expat provoke the attack? One on a motobike with a girl and few guys in an automobile.
Remind me of the F Street episode in ANC. Pilot was assaulted by the staff there. But, some pilots still choose to frequent the bar.

If physical assault was made... that's all i need to know

Wonder what Rishworth will do?

Wish we knew who it was who assaulted him..........:mad:

Let's not forget the good Samaritan Vietnamese pilot that recognized one of the expats laying in the streets recently after being in a moto wreck.

He brought the pilot back to the the company office and calls were made to friends to assist. :ok:

Absolutely............

The vast majority of locals are good - like any country.
It just seems like the bad apples have a more sour taste - in other words - same same but different :ok:

No shiat... (wassent u Kiwi?) Sure hope not!!!

And now throw em Fuggers in jail! :ok:

Sounds like a hoax. To bad the source was not named. Newspaper, TV, radio etc etc..............

This is NOT a hoax DUH........ :=

Well why don't you ask DREAMLAND for the facts,as it was him who took the hit.

attacked
 

story is just too convenient... In front of the VAC headquarters..Done by a VAC pilot..Victim is an Expat.. Too convenient, there is some mystery to this story - I don't buy it, this is really a Rumour Network..

real f#^$ up for the 1st off. on training for P1 on ATR :ok:
how drunk u must be to get into a rumble INSIDE 919 :}
hahahahaha
that'll teach him a lesson :{

or maybe like all the BS that goes on inside this airline
when the mistake or f%$# up is done by a local
most likely nothing will happen to him/or them
the guy in roster involved was today @ crew tracking like nothing went on :D
smoking his joint & watching the football game on the tv

and damn.....hitting a lady ...........poor bastards:mad:

"Bringing Vietnames Culture to the World"
 

This just tells you a bit about the real vietnamese people. Not only they attack a woman, but the attack in group (very manly!). They are such cowards that they do it this way, no way they'll do it one-on one. That's them. It's normal, double faced. What can you expect from people who leave large nails just to show they are not farm-workers?, or bring a complete family of 4 or 5 all in a motor-bike where everybody wears a helmet BUT the 2 year-old kid because it prevents the brain to grow?...COME ON!!...they are still MONKEYS!. Nothing will happen here, the expat most likely will get kicked out....but the local pilot....mild punishment..but he'll keep on flying...since they have "life-time" contract with VAC. I'm open for more discussion, thks!

as a pilot you might have a higher qualification, but in reality as a contract pilot you are in the same level as a indonesian maid in singapore, pakistani worker in the emirates, north african in france......................
