Mentors Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 The Nation today Passengers evacuated from THAI flight at Suvarnabhumi Passengers were evacuated from a domestic flight of Thai Airways International Airport before it was about to take off from the Suvarnabhumi Airport. Passengers were asked to leave the TG 106 flight, which was about to take off to Chiang Mai at 10:25 am. Officials said the plane's engines had started but smoke was detected in the passenger compound so the flight was cancelled. Officials said certain parts of the plane caught fire because they became overheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 "caught fire because they overheated"...how else would it start... Most likely a lack of maintenance, fuel lines came loose, fuel fittings cracked, design flaw, poor quality replacement parts...I have seen it! A large company in the USA that makes jet engines (gas and steam turbines) had some flaws in the design of the turbine blades...good thing they have some politicians in their pocket to hush it up!!!
