erection day Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 But I read that the plane is only few years old. And regularly maintained. Anyway the only China airline I took was Eastern China Air to Hainan- not very impressed with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonely Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 As long as there are no fatalities, that is the important thing.But I thought that the US$100 Ang Bao was a bit insincere on the part of China Airlines.

Massagee Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 A loose bolt that pierced through the fuel tank is likely to be the cause of the explosion, so said the probe team. Thank God it decided to get loose before hitting the air. Quote google areanpull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 actually it has landed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massagee Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 actually it has landed as in the next takeoff? Pardon my not knowing the whole incident except the possible reason for the explosion. Either way, it's better it happened on land than in air, which was my point.

oralb Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 was reading a commentary from Taiwan which it blasted the TW gahmen using China Airlines as a barter trade to gain US support. Hence CA will buy only from and any aircraft sold by Boeing. the commentary ended by saying in jest that while the current gahmen is so desperate to push to change all namesake that have the word "China" in TW to "Taiwan" they never bother to change CA as the world would have think that CA belongs to China...

lonely Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 That is so true. I did not realised that they never changed the name of China Airlines. Instead they spent millions changing the name of roads, parks, etc...
