News Sharing

I haven't posted anything on my blog for awhile due to my laziness. I can't resist not posting this news article on my blog after reading the whole thing. I feel scary to try new air carrier and frustrated for the airline company's reckless attitude toward the passengers. I will only post the first paragraph of this news article here, you can always find details by reading current event section in HK news.


港客乘泰東 驚恐12小時引擎冒煙急降 轉機引擎故障折返
2007年8月15日


【明報專訊】近500名港人前日從泰國布吉乘搭廉價的泰國東方航空公司(Orient Thai Airlines,解稱「泰東」)班機回港,一波三折,經歷了驚慄的12小時。事緣飛機從布吉起飛後,引擎突然冒煙,客機緊急降落曼谷機場,乘客被安排轉乘另一泰東航機時,引擎再次出現故障,飛機要從曼谷機場停機坪折返,乘客大感恐慌,有4名港客更出現休克徵狀,而大批港客也一度拒絕再乘搭泰東安排的第三架客機。擾攘一輪後,第三架客機終於在昨早清晨安全抵港,但有乘客投訴事故「好恐怖」,令他們有「搭飛機」恐懼症。 Quoted from mingpaonews.com

Wahahhaha...

It would be very scary for the passengers. Oh well, I do not like the idea of burning to death very much. Consider I just got off a plane not long ago, I have a mixed feeling about this.

:D

華航大爆炸
中華航空一架波音七三七客機,昨晨由台北飛抵日本沖繩那霸機場,在短短三分鐘內突發生四次爆炸,一股蘑菇形火團,直捲天際.機身燒至完全焦黑,斷為三截。機上一百六十五名乘客及機組人員(包括八港客在內),在生死關頭歷九十秒安全疏散,其中四人不適送院,包括一名香港七歲女童被嚇至暈倒。
