Even a poor country in Africa would NOT allow a plane to fly if there were rust... Not on a commercial airliner like this. Maybe a smaller cargo plane... |

Even a poor country in Africa would NOT allow a plane to fly if there were rust... Planes are made of aluminum, they don't rust. They do fatigue though and parts need to be inspected and if needed replaced. probably lack of proper maintenance is the cause. |

"" In August 2010, the US announced it had given Nigeria the FAA's Category 1 status, its top safety rating that allows the nation's domestic carriers to fly directly to the States. But Nigeria, like many African countries, has a poor air safety record, though some efforts have been made to improve it following a number of airline disasters in 2005. "" |

I'm sure some of you GLPers know this but jet airplanes are an obsolete and unnecessary technology that is only kept around to facilitate a completely artificial ponzi economy. Think about it. The most efficient mode of transportation offered today was first used at the dawn of man. Barges/rafts/boats. 2nd - Rail...used by Egyptian miners....and later railroad technology. We have been kept in the dark while the black budget programs zip around the solar system using the secret space program that was started in the US in 1954....and the underground maglev evacuated tube shuttle at MACH 2-3. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 3650237 United States 06/03/2012 02:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Shouldn't all "African" Americans come together to assist their brethren? They sure as hell jump on the bandwagon to claim "African" American status in order to receive taxpayer funded entitlements. Yet I never see or hear one "African" American speaking out against the atrocities committed in African countries against their African brothers and sisters. Never! I don't get the hypocrisy. I guess now I'll be labeled a "racist" because you're not supposed to question the motives of "African" Americans. ^THIS^ But,sadly...so many deaths. |

But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.” |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13391804 Nothing at all like we saw on 9/11. Truth raises up it's head. the plane was not crashed on purpose moran Crashed on landing approach @130-150 knots. I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |
