snakehips 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Rumours are he spilt his vodka over the console, thus fusing the electrics and shutting down the engines. You heard it here first. ITK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RlCO 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 For not crashing on to the houses he cleared by a few feet. By not getting his 200 passeners barbecued. Regular run of the mill shit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7273 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Have we found out why the pilot actually delegated not crashing the plane? Was he shaking in the corner at the time it landed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RlCO 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Have we found out why the pilot actually delegated not crashing the plane? Was he shaking in the corner at the time it landed? Standard procedure, pilot takes off, co-pilot lands. There isn't any skill difference between the two positions, and in this case when they only had 40 seconds, the man in current control takes the lead in a crisis I would have thought.

Guest alex Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 As another pilot said after the crash, all talk about medals / heroics should wait until after the enquiry, establishment of cause etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
