Absolutely nothing surprising there!!!!

Any why would a jet with landing gear failure want to land at high speed. What a stupid heading.

Never let the truth or fact get n the way of a sensationalised headline. Did some mention that they feared for their lives???

That'd be funny if it were remotely correct.

You know, Hyundai's might be cheap, but has anyone else noticed how they just keep going and going? I've driven my fair share of old Hyundai's, and I swear you've gotta drop a 2 ton truck on top of them before they stop.

So if the Embraer's are like Hyundai's, you won't have one breaking down on you, :D.

Quick thread hijack sorry - Not all of them were/are.
A mate of mine had one that was so bad, he very nearly parked it out the front of the Hyundai HQ in Sydney to pour petrol over it and burn it in protest.

Ahh, that sucks.

Maybe it's just the old one's that keep going and going?

However, it'd be very unfair to compare the unbreakable Hyundai, to the unbreakable Hilux. Even Top Gear proved you can't break a Hilux. Maybe that's what you've gotta drop onto a Hyundai to get it to break?

Chris

which e-jet was it?

Just goes to show that you can have a fault on what is more or less a brand new aircraft. They don't need to be 17 years old to have problems.

That was pretty much my point in the other thread, about the uninformed comments on the 'unreliable' 747-300's.

But does that mean that Boeing is the Hyundai of the sky's as well? :confused:

Because they break down just as much.

Sorry to say Marty, but your case appears to have holes in it. :cool:
