Plane crash
« on: March 11, 2019, 02:49:29 PM »

Another one  :'(. - headed to Nairobi.  Seems many of the passengers were headed towards an Environmental Conference - talk about putting all eggs into one basket.

Another reason to stay in the UK.

Might be an idea to ground them all  :-\. I do wonder about MotoGP and F1 employees all travelling together, a huge talent would go down at once  :-\ :'(

One of hubby's old employer's had a rule, the top execs were not allowed to fly/travel together in case of any disaster!

I think the Aviation Authorities have grounded all these planes now.
I should think so too.
It's a soft wear problem apparently.
The plane thinks  it's going to stall, when the pilot is trying to climb, that's the problem....

I think that about a lot of Conferences Stellajane.  The Internet was thought of in 1988 ......... by now we shouldn't have to go anywhere, do housework - those little robot things should do it all - and Conference calls/Skype should be the go-to communication methods.  Why Nairobi, it's not a stable part of the World anyway  :-\

Except by the USA which has refused so far.
