Listening to the news last night, I guess there was a bunch of messages that came across in four minutes... auto pilot failure, fly by wire in degradation mode, failure of air speed, altitude, position, and attitude systems, failure of an secondary system, some type of primary and secondary computer failure, and then a cabin pressure fault...
Try flying a plane, at night in a storm, with no auto pilot, controls not working, and no indication of speed, altitude or attitude. Pilots had their hands full. -----Original Message----- From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 8:51 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: They lost an airplane??? > Erika wrote: > "The plane was expected in Paris at 11:10 a.m. (0910 GMT)," the spokeswoman > told the news agency.... > Just read a story where they say the a/c sent both electrical failure and loss-of-cabin-pressure warnings. Also the debris is spread over 3 miles. Sounds like it broke up in the air. Either they hit some seriously insane weather or something blew up. It seems to have broken up slowly enough to have triggered the ACARS warnings and sent them, but fast enough to still be in the air. That sounds like a small explosion to me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
