Strange that Viking Sky that has four engines and all of them stopped... - The weather should not normally cause problems in the machine on a ship such as "Viking Sky", says Arve Bredesen, chief engineer at Fosen Yard in Indre Fosen in Trøndelag. Anway, all passengers thanks the crew on board and the coast guard for the effort in the rescue work that apparently also managed to keep them calm. The ship has managed to start the engines and will reach harbor later this afternoon. https://www.nrk.no/mr/_-vaeret-alene-skal-ikke-sla-ut-maskinen-1.14488387 - We have learned through the media that the problems on "Sky Viking" start with a blackout. It can have several reasons, but because this happened during high seas, it may be due to dense fuel filters. When the boat rolls, dirt that is in the bottom of the fuel tanks may come loose and seal the filter. Thus, the machine does not receive fuel. |

Really? https://www.bbc.com/news/business-47691478They're having fun with this one on broadcast news. Apparently only the pilots and air traffic control knew the flight plan was Edinburgh: the cabin crew though it was Dusseldorf, and presumably checked boarding cards. "Passengers were surprised when they landed early". Really? - Dusseldorf is actually closer to London. Nobody noticed - on a bright sunny day - that they were heading west of North, instead of pretty much due East? And not crossing water... I'm blaming Brexit myself - the (German) crew didn't want to be invaded by British escapers. Especially since we spent yesterday remembering the 75th anniversary of 'The Great Escape'. Don't mention the war. |

Having flown to both airports I would say, that although Düsseldorf is closer it takes longer to get there, and has a much smoother approach, but nowhere as near as nice a set of views - one high-rise block is much the same as another, but Edinburgh has three magnificent bridges to view during the decent (unless one comes in from the South West, then it's the rolling fields of the central lowlands) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Really? https://www.bbc.com/news/business-47691478They're having fun with this one on broadcast news. Flight 75 to Dusseldorf or is it flight 75 to Edinburgh? Do they have two flights going different places with the same flight number? Just who told the gate agent to board the flight to Dusseldorf on the airplane going to Edinburgh? Or did they tell the pilot to get on the wrong aircraft? OBW, did they put the luggage and cargo on the wrong right plane too? Did they put the wrong fuel load on the plane? Might be really bad if they wasn't enough go juice! It's not so funny when you realize that and someone needs to explain how it happened so it can never happen again and/or possibly several someone's need to be terminated. |

Meanwhile Airbus is getting to sell 300 aircraft to China for $35 Billion. A trade war thing would be them not buying Airbus and buying their own. |

Meanwhile Airbus is getting to sell 300 aircraft to China for $35 Billion. trump and the US is losing this phony trade war, why? Cause there are other places to buy stuff from, unlike from 1945 to maybe 1955 or so when everyone else was rebuilding from World War II. Unlike a lot of the world, the US suffered no real damage on the North American Continent as a result of WWII. Sub raids did no real damage and any saboteurs were easily spotted and captured, We could act like them like in Patterns of Force in Star Trek, but they knew next to nothing about being in America the Melting Pot. The US and the UK bombed Germany back to the stone age and then helped start the rebuilding in Europe with the Marshall Plan which was offered to Eastern Europe and to Russia who refused the help.

This thread is heading rapidly away from discussing safety in transportation into the realms of the politics of international trading. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

That's what happens when infrastructure maintenance is neglected. The Republican mantra is we can't afford to raise the gas tax to pay for it. |

Breaking News Pilots "repeatedly" followed procedures recommended by Boeing before the crash, according to the first official report into the disaster. As another source put it, after they turned it off - they turned it back on which isn't Boeing's procedure! |

That's what happens when infrastructure maintenance is neglected. The Republican mantra is we can't afford to raise the gas tax to pay for it. And everytime the price of gasoline went up, My local friends would blame the rise on taxes and not on the rise and fall of the price of crude oil, yet be strangely silent when the price went down, all due to low information.
