"Hello this is your captain speaking, we are currently at flying at an altitude of 23,000 feet. The weather conditions are fine and we hope you enjoy your ride with us."
The next moment, both engines flame-out and the flight crew went into panic mode, with one shouting prayers all over the PA system instead of making calculations to glide the aircraft to its nearest airport in Palermo. Eventually, the aircraft ditched into the sea in three pieces. The flight crew ended up jailed and the airline company was re-branded before it re-scheduled its flights again.
Did last minute prayers really worked? Or was it part of God's plans? Funny as it seems, when such prayers failed you when you know you are going to perish. Some experienced miracles in last minute prayers in times like this, others experienced tragedies.
I am currently working on this case study presentation, and it was really unfortunate that the flight crew could not see the actual error working behind the scenes - the Fuel Quantity Indicator. To conclude, seeing isn't believing at all. This accident was really a tricky one.
I have not been blogging due to the upcoming deadline pressures and work at school. They are never ending, but fortunately the month of February is arriving. Everything would end by then.
Till then, chao - sai!
