Gawain 0 #9 July 24, 2008 There has to be more to that story. There's no way one button can cause an immediate start up and throttle up is there? If that's so, then remind me to avoid CRJs. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

BIGUN 1,312 #11 July 24, 2008 QuoteThere's no way one button can cause an immediate start up and throttle up is there? Ya know... I was thinking the same thing. Why was a mechanic "cleaning" the plane. Accidently hit... She'll probably lose "her job?" Sorry, but if she could accidently hit that many buttons in sequence while cleaning the plane...Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

I suspect this article was written by the same type of reporter who typically writes articles about skydiving accidents. Accidentally pushing one button causes the plane to begin take off? My bullshitometer is going off. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #13 July 24, 2008 QuoteAccidentally pushing one button causes the plane to begin take off? My bullshitometer is going off. More info: "A young mechanic pressed a starter switch to slowly spin the compressor blades for cleaning. Instead, her action sent the engine to immediate takeoff power, hurling the fragile aircraft at 90 degree angles." Only one of the three planes was totaled. http://www.wafb.com/Global/story.asp?S=8711634&nav=menu57_1 http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?ContentBlockID=149171c0-3fe9-4a4d-b0cc-6831101500fa http://www.gadling.com/2008/07/23/three-commuter-jets-collide-in-louisiana-no-injuries-reported/print/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
