Hi guys, The link gives footage of a pretty spectacular crash by a Russian Navy Tu-134 after it suffered engine failure on rotation. I didn't pass it on when first coming across it as I was certain that many people were killed. However, I've since learnt that all 14 crew and passengers got out safely - incredible! What is shocking is the amount of time the rescue services took to get to the scene and how ineffective their equipment was! All the best, Alastair http://www.luchtvaartnieuws.nl/video/clips/tupolev134.asp *************************************** Dr. Alastair T.
