The "AIRBUS" claimed nearly crashed in Hamburg recently,during EMMA, was in totally normal flight operation. At least the pilots don't have any guilt. The reason for it was, some might think it is not normal, that theexpense per lost passenger is restricted to some 14000 old german marks,IIRC:) Cheers,Hermann _______________________________________________linux-dvb mailing listlinux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
