View Full Version : Pilots falling asleep during flight LessasLashes 06-28-2008, 09:44 AM This is crazy... not just one of the pilots.. but both!!! Maybe air traffic control needs to have some kind of zap button rigged to their chairs... http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080626/wl_sthasia_afp/indiaairlineincidentoffbeat_080626122700 Lorah 06-28-2008, 09:49 AM HOLY CRAP! Thank God they didn't crash into another aircraft or the ground or soemthing! WTF?!?! BOTH of them fell into a "deep" sleep?! Ya.....I want to be on that airline! Maritza 06-28-2008, 10:43 AM This happens all the time, but still...Very irresponsible! I understand pilots taking turns for napping, but both of them asleep and not starting the descending on time???....Irresponsible! It could have been a fatal accident. ''At those speeds 15 kilometres is covered in a very short time." They should have been waken up 5 minutes before in order to start the landing process on time. becky 06-30-2008, 01:23 AM OMG that is insane. Lorah 06-30-2008, 07:19 AM THis just keeps coming up around in conversation with my friends and such, and everyone keeps asking the same things...like why were they allowed to fall alseep in the first place, how is that even possible, where was traffic control BEFORE the landing process began, etc etc etc...... its starting to sound more fishy than when I first heard the story. |
