Re: 787 Dreamliner Catches Fire At Heathrow
I don't usually worry about incidents on an aircraft, but I must admit that there appear to be many on the 787. Lets not forget though that the DC-10 killed people on multiple occasions with its non-pressure sealed cargo door, and it went on to have a long career carrying passengers.

I might think twice, as well... Well at least until they work out the kinks!

Apparently some news stations were duped into displaying some rather crude if racist crew names.

My wife sent me that, I wasn't sure the casual racism would be received well on BE so didn't think too post it.
I did laugh though.

when you don't say things because others might be offended the thought police have got to you.

What I don't get is why this was news, the names of the pilots sat in the left and right seat were released by Asiana themselves the day of the crash.

Exactly.. That's why it's funny, it makes the TV station and their news dept. look really stupid. Sorry, but I don't really see what is racist about making up a silly name such as Sum Ting Wong .. it is mildly funny in a wacky way but the person who read the list on air without seeing what's up is an idiot.

I like what someone posted elsewhere -
"You all are missing the bigger issue.....Sure, I laughed my ass off too (despite the tragedy and loss of life), however the bigger issue is that this is just more evidence that we cannot trust ANYTHING that the mainstream media reports. . She says it TWICE..... "THE NTSB CONFIRMED the names of the pilots on board Aisiana Flight 214" PATHETIC!!! The Media has ZERO Credibility. They are paid shills...paid to report the narrative of the agenda...in this case they were fooled by an intern prank".
Shills indeed, even more highlighted by O'Brien

It just shows you, 'news-readers' really are that 'readers' -- totally devoid of common sense! Kudos to who got it through though!

Re: 787 Dreamliner Catches Fire At Heathrow
We've crossed the streams here, lads. The Asiana crash was a 777. Dear, oh dear *shakes head in despair* 
That news item though, looks like a joke by the visual effects department that went a bit farther than intended. Gallows humour and all that, anyone that got 'offended' by it should really grow up a bit.
