TroyinEwa/Perv Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Yeah ..lucky little boy.. It seems now there were no survivors. Not directed at shygye. How hard can this be to figure out? Reports say only 5 bodies have been found. But how can someone mix up a 14 year old girl and a 5 year old boy? This job of reporting can't be that difficult. Very piss poor job of getting facts straight. Certainly can't be helping famlies who may have had hope after hearing about a 5 year old survior only to have that be false. This is from cnbc...... "Khaled el-Kaei, the head of Yemenia airline's public relations office, said the survivor was a 14-year-old girl. There were earlier reports that a 5-year-old boy survived."

MooNoi Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 From Sydney Morning Herald: Interesting Update.... Yemenia sounds like it would be lots of fun to fly... NOT!! Faults with plane The flight left Paris on Monday for Marseille and Sanaa, where passengers switched to the older Airbus to continue to Djibouti and Moroni. Bussereau said French inspectors had in 2007 found numerous faults on the A310 and that the airline was being closely monitored by EU authorities. "The A310 in question was inspected in 2007 by the DGAC (French transport authorities) and they noticed a certain number of faults," he told the I-tele television channel. "The company was not on the blacklist but was subject to stricter checks on our part, and was due to be interviewed shortly by the European Union's safety committee. "... the plane had not since then reappeared in our country. "The question we are asking ... is whether you can collect people in a normal way on French territory and then put them in a plane that does not ensure their security. We do not want this to happen again," he said. According to an EU legal document, other inspections in Germany and Italy had shown up "deficiencies" with the airline, and in July last year the EU commission insisted Yemenia provide an "action plan" to address safety concerns. Stephane Salord, the Comoros' honorary consul in Marseille, said: "This A310 is a plane that has posed problems for a long time, it is absolutely inadmissible that this airline Yemenia played with the lives of its passengers this way." 'Flying cattle trucks' Salord called Yemeni's aircraft "flying cattle trucks''. "It is an absolute disgrace that we tolerate this kind of thing and I think the company's responsibility is considerable,'' he said on France-3 television. "From Paris to Sanaa everything is fine, by the book. But from Sanaa to Moroni, they board you like you were getting into a minibus in the bush; no one has assigned seats, it's first come, first serve,'' said Mouijui Abdou, a Comoran who went to Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport following news of the crash. "Some people stand the whole way to Moroni,'' said Mohamed Ali, a Comoran who went to Yemenia's headquarters in Paris to try to get more information. "If you complain, Yemenia just says: 'If you want to get on, get on, if you don't, then find another flight.''' Thoue Djoumbe, a 28-year-old woman who lives in Fontainebleau and has taken the Yemenia flight to Comoros, said she and other passengers have been complaining about flight conditions on the airline for years. "It's a lottery when you travel to Comoros,'' said Djoumbe. "We've organised boycotts, we've told the Comoran community not to fly on Yemenia Airways because they make a lot of money off of us and meanwhile the conditions on the planes are disastrous.''
