Anyone know if this is true? - just got forwarded it...
I wonder what's the Arabic for oooO****!
WRECKED A340-600 at TOULOUSE FRANCE
These are pictures of the wreck of a brand new A340-600, in November 2007,
that had never flown.
Brand spanking new right out of the hanger, without a single hour of air
time. Enter the Arab flight crew.
Nine employees of the Arab airline were in the aircraft, but not one
employee from French Airbus was present.
The Arabs taxied out to the run-up area. Then they took all four engines to
takeoff power with a virtually empty aircraft. This was their first mistake,
as they obviously didn't read the run-up manuals. They had no clue just how
light of an empty A340-600 really is. No chocks were set, not that it would
have mattered at that power setting. The brakes and chocks together would
not hold it back at full power anyway.
The takeoff warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit because they had
all 4 engines at full power. The aircraft computers thought they were trying
to takeoff but it had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc.) Then
one of these brain surgeons decided to pull the circuit breaker on the
Ground Proximity Sensor, to silence the alarm.
This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air.
That was a big mistake. As soon as they did that, the computers
automatically released all the brakes and set the aircraft rocketing
forward. The poor ******** had no idea that this is a SAFETY feature so that
pilots can't land with the brakes on. There was no one onboard smart enough
to throttle back the engines from their max power setting, so the rest is as
you see it below.
Arabs, don't you just love 'em..............
Of Note:
No one is talking and it didn't make the main stream media so who knows if
there were survivors. Not surprising
since the main stream media is so afraid of insulting anyone-
