@willbaguley9000

but they just crashed i rather Boeing !

[dutchbhproduction]

@ronaldbuffalo2 boeing had more crashes then airbus, but you rather fly with a boeing ? -_-

[ronaldbuffalo2]

@dutchbhproduction

you cant blame human error on the manufacture.... so you can go fly on your deformed airbus... and im flying my American BOEING!!!

; )

[dutchbhproduction]

@ronaldbuffalo2 I really dont care with which aircraft type i fly ;). you can just stop being arrogant, and start working with things from other parts of the world.

[RobinPMac]

why mention a crash over 10 years ago???

[saltydog45]

@RobinPMac Because it was uncanny that it happened almost to the day that NZ had its worst plane accident.

[darwincity]

@willbaguley9000 Depends of the company, really...

[sungmoon1987]

I've recently heard that it was the NZ pilots who pressured the German pilots to do risky maneuvers which was a major cause of the planes crash.

[Crypt1cmyst1c]

airbuses are uncommon in the US. i dont know about Boeings in europe, but id bet you dont use boeings as much. both have their safety problems, and part of it can be regional weather patterns, so you cant base which is better by crash statistics, it would be unfair.

[someszti]

i work on boeings..they r cool...u need good engineers as well to maintain the aircrafts...and of course not too old planes

[gcoll75]

Airbus at least tries innovative technologies unlike boeing who have always waited to see what other makers do and then put it in their aircraft and still manage to cock it up

[Mav1843]

You actually believe that crap! Boeing has had the 787 concept long before Airbus even knew what composites were. And, when the 747-200 came out, look who designed a new aircraft 20 years later! AIRBUS! With the crappy climb rate A340. Airbus lost during the 60's.

[Mav1843]

Yes I know that airbus wasn't around in the 60's you twonk. I really laughed when I read that word. Lol. Anyway, even though aircraft have glass cockpits, fly-by-wire, (even though Boeing introduced that system into their aircraft following Airbus) and winglets doesn't guarantee you flight safety. A300 over queens ring a bell? Air France Flight 447? Boeing has such a better safety record than Airbus. They have ruled the skies since the PT-17 Stearman. Have a nice day you twonk!

[Mav1843]

All of those accidents by airbus above all had a problem that was relatively the same. Airbus tends to overload their aircraft and engineer a slimmer safety margin.

[gcoll75]

boeing has an absolute crap safety record what about the thy airlines 737 crashed due to faulty altimeter or the british airways 777 crashed due to frozen fuel lines why design an aircraft to fly that high if it freezes the fuel lines at altitude it was only luck that prevented the frozen fuel from entering the lines until they were close to the airport

And all aircraft manufacturers engineer slim saftey margins its good for their bottom line

[scaremenga]

Not true. Look how many Boeing 737's are flying. And most of the crashes are on planes that are VERY old, or due to pilot error. So many more Boeing's are flying that Airbus ones that it's no surprise there is more pilot error.

[duk309]

Airbus did not introduce Fly-by-wire, glass cockpits, or winglets..

[lsaastig]

the airbus came witha come back. the airbus 380 sooothey did not lose anything

[Mav1843]

?????

[HaggisPowah]

@Mav1843 Airbus didn't even exist in the 60s ... read the facts before spouting. BTW "crappy climb rate" is immaterial because the aircraft is optimized for long distance cruising. The A340-600 address the "issue" of slow climb rate. The -300 had to use the only engines available at the time.

[Mav1843]

@HaggisPowah you really didn't even read what i said...try again..and I hate people who respond to comments that are more than a YEAR old...

[HaggisPowah]

@Mav1843 So you've got some arbitrary cutoff point for message age after which you don't respond?

Once again ... Airbus did not even exist in the 1960s. " Airbus lost during the 60's. " What?

Also why are you singling out the A300 accident over Queens? That's one accident. I don't get what you're trying to say - you're making some muddled reference to winglets not guaranteeing safety or something. Fucking ludicrous.

[Mandingalouca]

the man talking at 00:40 likes to say "ARGH" or "Ahh"

[XRenimeX]

like me lol

[TwoEyeCyclops]

I will not fly on an airbus.

Not that boeing is much better.....

[Skuksy]

I totally agree! I won't fly on any "scare-bus"planes again! The saying is.... IF IT AINT BOEING - I AINT GOING!!!!!!

[loko1701]

is anyaircraft safe these days, i love planes,boeings and airbuses,i gettin all excited going abroad but as soon as i get on the god dam thing i fuckin shit myself,all i keep repeating in my head is,were gona crash,but then again ive never flown on an airbus so.

[Chris58851]

@Skuksy Yaya... its isn't Boeing - I ain going, running, jumping , crapping and STFU!!!

[happymana]

@Skuksy LOL What a Fairy, Check the stats, more Boeings have crashed than Airbus.

[Skuksy]

@happymana what a fag you are - we aint talking 20 - 30 years ago u homo, we talking now! and airbus aint cuttin it! fucken retard!

[Smoznizjev]

@Skuksy Just wondering: at the age of 29, which you claim to be, aren't you supposed to have already moved beyond the 'internet tough guy' stage?

[OakCreekProductions]

This is why I felt unsafe on my first flight on an Airbus.

[RUBBERMOOG]

Airbus always seem to be the ones in the news for the wrong reasons the last ten years. Not good.

[lavakava]

french technology at its best...err...worst

[crazymonkeyVII]

that hudson crash was caused by birds, and the 320 that crashed into trees at the end of the runway was caused by the autopilot (those stupid designers want the pilot eliminated from the cockpit, so the autopilot checks the pilot, instead of having the pilot check the autopilot)!

So it doesn't necessarily (i don't know how you write it) have anything to do with the plane itself. but then.... why doe anybody for god sake fly airbus???

[bigfleabag]

because its quiet.

[g4snu]

what a load of bollocks ! you clearly have no conception of numbers of crashes I suggest you check out how many Boeing's have crashed compared to Airbus and get your facts right before you post

[Ultramarine998]

exactly , i flew 12 hours on an A320 and only 2 engines set on fire and 4 windows blew out , its safe as houses !

[dylanhelmer]

ur a fag. airbus sucks period. no bitching.u dont hear about boeing these days idiot. all u hear is airbus. its a shitty plane and shitty company

[robert0joe]

It was'nt Airbus' fault for birdstrikes to happen. Air France A320 was the airshow. It was thepeople who told the pilots to do the stunts.

[zenrising]

What the hell does her last comment have to do with anything.

[MRmatthieu49]

u know i think i heard this a couple days ago

[cjracer1000]

im just wondering, what is different between this airbus and all the others, i hope they weren't testing just a regular plane if so, im not flying on an airbus

[muffinmix123]

really??

I said the same thing..then my parents decided to go to canada 4 a holiday!and so we HAD 2 FLY ON AN AIRBUS!!! it in fact was good except 4 the turbulence!!there was a lot of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cjracer1000]

yea like i have nothing agains airbus but what were they testing on this airbus?

[westlifefan15]

All bodies have been found now.

R.I.P everyone who was on the flight

[saturnskys]

I use to operate on that aircraft in the Freedom Air days so sad:(

[loulrox94]

=[ so sad! im from nz and this sucks

[origin8]

There was a news report in Europe that suggested instruments may have been damaged (or covered) when the aircraft was repainted to Air NZ colours in readiness for handover...

[CaptainFaisal]

Nobody Knows!

[uploader1010]

there is no evidence that it was running on one engine, lets just wait until they know everything

[uploader1010]

LOL planes aren't always flying on autopilot, just because this airbus crashed doesnt mean airbus isnt safe anymore. the cause of th crash could be anything

[uploader1010]

no they aren't

[uploader1010]

bullshit, who the hell said that it isnt pilot error ?

[calypse550]

It was running on one engine, and when it failed, they had no choice but to avoid crashing somewhere where people could get hurt.

Took tier lives for others.

[s340q300]

Lets just wait for the official outcome rather than spreading rumours without the facts

[calypse550]

Lol I basically quoted that from NZ news.
