I love that I get all my breaking news stories from ML. No, really. I spend so much time here I would never know otherwise.

What's sad is I immediately checked FB when this was posted this to see what I could find out. Lol

Speaking of news that isn't getting any air time. The plane crash the other day. Did anyone see the video? It was insane.

According to CNN it was obstruction of justice or making false statements. They aren't in direct connection with the actual bombings.

Yes! That was so crazy!! I told my H it looked like a paper airplane flailing around. He is 'over there' right now and works in/on the airfields, and gave me a more technical description of what is speculated to have happened. So sad.

Are you talking about the one in Afghanistan?!

If so, I saw that on the Today Show! I first assumed it would be a small, military jet. Nope a 747 (cargo) plane and sadly, some Americans were killed.

But yes, I have high anxiety with flying. WHY DID I CONTINUE WATCHING?!

Yeah H works at centcomm, they were discussing what they thought happened as well, (something about shift in cargo?) yes the paper airplane description is pretty spot on.

Yes, something like too much weight shifted to the back, so they weren't able to gain enough speed, and possibly a cross wind all contributed.

Well to be fair chances of you flying with 5 armored vehicles are pretty slim, so the chance of such a cargo shift is unlikely.

but yeah it's really sad.

lsea0323  I am not technical expert by any meansbut somewhat familiar with airplanes. When they said it crashed shortly after takeoff my immediately thought was weight turbulence but then I wondered about the amount of air traffic there. When they said it was a cargo plane carrying cars and the sort I thought it may have been a weight and balance issue. I can't bring myself to watch the video, the pictures were awful enough.

Yeah this makes sense, stalling out will get those big planes. That is what happened to the Air France flight that crashed leaving Brasil.

The video is just so crazy, it doesn't even look real. I actually thought it was fake when someone first shared it on my FB feed.

 I think that crash is what took my fear of flying from worrying the first 10 minutes of my flight to total anxiety.

I still travel (internationally) but man, the news of that flight still haunts me. Especially since it happened 3 hours into their flight, no?

[snickers]

It's all so crazy.

The issue was with that particular Airbus though. One of the sensor instruments froze over, giving false readings causing the plane to stall.
