Brazil air crash still not solved - 18 July 2008

Nearly 200 people were killed in Brazil's deadliest airline disaster last year but investigators are still unable to determine what caused the crash.

Victims' relatives are demanding answers amid mounting pressure to revamp the country's air traffic control system. Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo reports from Sao Paolo.

al-jazeera? hmm, they seem more fair & balanced than fox news. or at least in this clip

It's amazing how countries point their fingers to anothers when they have their own problems. Air traffic is a big problem for any developing country, even United States have a big problem with out of date equipment and lack of experienced professionals. Accidents happen, they just do. It does not take much to a plane to crash. Brazil is a serious country, with a president that cares and a wonderfull people. Stop talking about this already.

There is now an air crash investigation episode on this crash

How Did This Video Be Done The 17 2008 In July Since He Said the Crash has The 18! Pretty Fishy...

@archer49d i agree with what u r saying. even though 777 is my favorite. i avoid airbus as much as possible

[TheGuruNeversleeps]

definetly! I've flown recently with airbus A380 double decker plane and many other new series airbuses but none of them compare in flight comfort or assembly and research for eye friendly details such as boeing. and I'v been flying for 20 years now... flown DC10's , which have been the worlds most "deadly" aircrafts, dc-9 and relative newer versions such as md 80's, and so on you name it ! I simply feel more secure and at ease in boeings.

Wait, how is it possible this video was uploaded July 17th when the title says "18 July"???

@Blastoiserulz They're FBW equipment and I don't trust it, for more than one reason. A320 series forward and 777 series forward are not worth their mettle as aircraft, they're efficient, that's about it, they're not great "aircraft" per se.

@jstrahan2 Thank you. See, Archer 49d?

[Blastoiserulz]

@archer49d If I do (hopefully) make an airline, Boeing will be on my list of carriers for my fleet(777,787)

[Blastoiserulz]

I never said that... Plus, the 777&787 are OK

[jstrahan2]

I see that you have still not answered my question. Looking through your posts and your quite rude and outlandish reactions to others (especially micbaca who has been quite polite and tolerant, considering) I would advise others that your posts should be ignored, which I will do from now on. (My background is USAF pilot training and nearly 30 years experience flying, 23 in the airlines.)
