#1 Determination of a bull, nerves of steel. Although it sucks to pay twice to go to the same destination!

#2 The pilots didn't have the flaps down? Surprise surprise. At least they paid the price for their ineptness.

#4 Always sit towards the back of the aircraft when flying on 737's. It's the closest to an unimpeded exit, provided you survive the impact and possible breakup of the airframe. And row 26/27 outboard on a 777.

#5 At least they paid the price for their ineptness.

How, by losing a couple dozen passengers? The pilots weren't seriously hurt.

#9 Both pilots were killed in the crash...

Darned chatty for a corpse.

The chief pilot of the passenger plane engulfed by a deadly fireball in Indonesia this week has told investigators he blacked out as the aircraft crash landed.

And here he is blaming a downdraft, and suicidal.
