Aircraft Crash

What is the difference between an Airbus and a chain saw????????

About 500 trees per minute.

O NO O NO O NO

They should have designed the computer after a SOBER pilot!!!

Very very bad, should not practice with paasengers on board

xellent landing by pilot,

just to tell you... i have heard about this story.. it is not the first time they had to practice automatic landing.. it was the french people who invented that the autopilot should have the last desicion.. so if the pilot was about to land, then if the autopilot thought it is going to be a good landing, then the pilot coulndnt change it!.. then this was an airshow with the 320, and the pilot wanted to show an approach for fun.. he was not going to land, but then the computer thought it was going to be a good landing, and then it chrashed into the trees.. maybe this story sounds STUPID! but its actually true!

I am sure the plane's Operating system was Windows XP, Bill Gates Edition.

NOT GOOD

planes will never fly with out a PILOT

A320s and other modern airbus' have a flight protection envelope. The pilot may be controlling the plane but the computer stops him from doing anything that would cause an accident. In other words the pilot can push as hard and as fast has he wants on the stick but the plane will only bank/pitch relatively slowly to the max safe angle. the video is of the pilot holding the stick back and the computer maintaining pitch just below stall angle. Problem is if you do this below a set altitude the plane thinks its landing and doesnt auto throttle up like the pilot was expecting it to. Thats why you hear the engines suddenly spool up just before the trees as the pilot realises too late. Pilot error not computers.

Truth is : Airshow - high alpha pass - pilots tried to climb out - computer wouldn't let them - result? Crash.
End of.

One should "not" rely on the full dependency of computers.

it wasnt flown by a computer! it was a test flight, but people died on that, it was on the news a few people died!

This is the first crash of a A320 airbus .
It did happen in 1988 in east of france ( Habsheim ), during an airshow.
The plane was meant to do 2 low altitude passing in front of the public, as a presentation of the new 'bird'
During this first one, the plane was too low and the engines did not recover full power on time, getting the plane to hit the trees.
3 people were killed during this crash.
for more info, please type 'crash de habsheim' in google

i remember the crash all too well. it was doing a full automated landing. first time a computer has ever actaully fully landed a plane. oh and yes gert i do know what i am talking about.

Are you blind?!! since when did aircraft take off in mid flight!? U seem to understand a great deal in aircraft huh!

...take the Scarebus to the forest!

first airbus flight, i don't think we should forget the crew and press that were on board.I HAVEN'T.

Was Airbus - a multinational European consortium - around when autopilot tests were made? Don't think so. Air France (nicknamed Air Chance in the 1960s) was obviously gutsier in those distant innovation days. With others, it pioneered the superb Concorde, and now is a partner in a great range of Airbus designs for the future. Don't get jealous; don't knock it, you might like it.

they had lots of crashes and minor aircraft destruction before....

sorry guys. but this was a video from the first testflight of the 1st Airbus 320 with a Joystick crashing.
Nope Computer controlled plane

for 45 quid...but nvm, i could just make a RW disc powered 1 to like, handy to store like 500 movies on, lol i allready got like 6k movies!
but comps dont have brains and eyes, know tell me this:
if something goes worng, like airo dynamic features get tempered, or someone switches on a phone and causes turbulence, a pilot would know how to deal with inb in actual time, a compuiter will not, and they computer might think it all on track and try to land in the ocean!

DUMbAsSES!
why the F**k they do that for?????
if they gun give aircraft auto pilot (daft idea) then test it out on a mini plane, test it way high in tha sky!
i say auto pilot is a bad idea!! cause computers are just rams, just a nifty wired up phone engine like thing, give me 23 wires and like 500cm3 of metal (preferbally gold or sometihng :)) and 1, just 1 disc, (the discs that a ram and memry and drives are all built in, its a special CD, got a special code that only a logo eye acces powerred machine could do, so people dont make little computers and sell them on streets for 45 quid...

This was a demonstration flight of a new model Airbus. It had passengers on board who were afraid of flying. They were supposed to make a low level pass over this field to demonstrate the plane. The field itself is not long enough to land the plane. The computer thought it was supposed to land and so it did, despite what the pilot tried to do. Luckily only a few persons died.

are there was people in the plane:-----

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT????

The plane said: Dude I got a Dell, I'm screwed!

The trees, wacht the trees .....

what a C**k ......
