Yes, the first reason to return to the gate should have been an defect temperatur indicator. The last general check of the plane was in january this year.

Re:
A front air intake valve had in fact overheated, and it seems the plane was on its second takeoff attempt.

Hi Gerardo,
I understand your concerns but this makes me wonder why they were priority screened in first place if (part of) the JP crew does not feel good about it!? Can't really blame the photographers as they likely would have uploaded the shots anyway. And, I must admit I also contributed to the high number of hits of the photos in question without the intention of being disrespectful.
Sorry for the OT, again.Last edited by philip; 2008-08-21, 15:11.greetings,

Whole Thread is a New Low
This thread is far worse than the Daily Mail, the Daily News, The National Enquirer, or the worst of cable TV coverage. Total misinformation from post number one, wild speculation, hyporcitical hand-wringing over The Horror, The Horror, and look at the visitor count today ? Our normally sleepy forum has 15 visitors on an average day, but today hundreds of ghoul rubberneckers oogling the virtual wreckage like a paparazzi festival around Paris Hilton's latest car wreck of a life. It was a dark and stormy night, what did you expect ?

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said it will send investigators to assist in the inquiry.
If I was a relative I would expect the Spanish CAA to deal with this in the first instance followed by some of their European counterparts, this would be like Japan saying they were sending a team in to help with the inquiry...

My gut tells me they can't be involved unless they are invited though.

Regarding the pictures being uploaded after the crash, I don't really see a problem with people uploading the pictures after the crash. It is a strange feeling to have a picture of an aircraft that has crashed, especially when it was taken only a few days before the crash. I don't think it's all that appalling that the photographer would want to share the photo. I do, however, agree that it is sort of in bad taste to have it has a hot photo.

First, my condolence to the families and friends. Second, I wonder if someone in here has the M.E.L. for that aircraft and if that valve can be defered as a D.M.I. in the maintenance logbook?
And also, this accident is similar to that American Airlines DC-10 in Chicago, loss of an engine, loss of hydraulic fluids (I assume this), aircraft airborne and veering to the side of the runway and crashing.
Again, we are just assuming things..
