  • korean never fly them omg llok at youtube landing with them scary they cant fly at all

  • lol this guy sounds like the city wok asian man from south park when he's flying the boys to canada

  • @jsc1192 Actually Asiana Air is doing quite well. It's the Airlines' holding company that's in trouble. Asiana recently had one of best years.

  • @kyungjinn they have to dump the fuel because the plane would be to heavy to land.

  • @kyungjinn Glad you asked.  Airlines calculate precisely the amount of fuel needed to get to a destination. The amount, however, adds tons and tons of sheer weight onto the aircraft. If the plane were to land with all of its fuel, the suspension could break or even far worse. Dumping fuel removes that factor in the landing process and also allows for more lift from the wings supporting the behemoth. I see it as genius. As for the fuel, Ever seen a waterfall? Looks like a cloud, huh?

  • Why would you dump fuel if a bird struck the turbine?.. Why doesn't it just land and keep the fuel it has onboard?.. Isn't there the problem of running out of fuel before landing?

    Also... isn't jet fuel supposed to be liquid?

    Hahah... as you can see I know nothing about planes >.>

    Only source of Korean pilot is the korean airforce, which can not supply

    enough pilot for the airline industry. There aren't much of pilot schools

    outside of the military.

    so Korean airline companies hire many foreign pilots.
