Re: Plane Explodes and Burst into Flames During Takeoff Manila Airport - 8 Killed
When we worked on Lears from South America, the crews would normally load everybody, and then would start stacking all the stuff they bought here to take home in the entry way area, where there were no seats. They would take a HUGE amount of stuff, from bicycles and TV sets to baby carriages and camping tents. Whatever they bought here while they were here. If these guys did the same thing, they probably loaded the patient and the crew to care for him, and then loaded the boxes in the door area, and then had the door closed from outside, after they climbed in the cockpit. No way out in these cases. I don't know that this is what happened, but I would bet on it. |
