Re: Plane Spotters Corner
I have held my hand luggage on my lap during take off as I want to access as soon as I'm allowed.
I thought it might be a fan blade failure, they have kevlar lining in the of the cowl so any debit would be pulled into the engine causing the fire.
They where bloody luck as it would have had a fair bit of fuel on board

Most airlines insist on hand baggage stowed above or below seats
Yep fan blade failure is high on my suspect list.

What does get me though is the idiots who thought it was a good idea to rescue their hand luggage Do they not realise that a few extra seconds could have cost not only their own lives but many others

This
Absolutely outrageous that idiots did this.
Prosecutions should follow.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
What annoys me is there a shed load of smoke on your side, then some muppet opens the emergency exit

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
I haven't seen any yet, but no doubt some Darwin Award nominee probably used their phone in portrait mode rather then get out of dodge.

I'm wondering whether there were any journalists or other people that might have displeased the current Russian regime on board.

Rare for a plane to break up in air.
