Aug 1, 2010 - the McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 is a excellent plane, very airworthy.

May 4, 2010 - What could have they done to prevent a Bus fire, and have the motorcoach crash into a swamp?

Apr 20, 2010 - Wow. That is so tragic. The simplest little thing as loosley packaged items can just start a whole disaster like that. terrible. RIP to those onboard.

Apr 14, 2010 - the co-pilot signed off on the cargo too, it wasn't just the rampie's fault. It's also illegal to load hazmat on a passenger flight. the mechanics shipping them also didn't secure the firing pins of the canisters and didn't realize some were still full.

BloodyBay Says:

Apr 11, 2010 - @kurtw71 What if the ground crew doesn't bother to tell them? What if the oxygen generators were slipped aboard at the last minute before the airplane sealed up and left the loading area?Clearly the ground crew was 100% at fault for this disaster, both through not properly loading and securing hazardous cargo and for not advising the pilot and co-pilot of said cargo. The cockpit crew was entirely guiltless here.

Apr 5, 2010 - @drrb20 yea. they're only used if the aircraft is depressurizing such as britishairways flt9. 797 blew up coz of the oxygen that came in when the doors were opened during evacuation

eepruls Says:

Mar 24, 2010 - It's amazing how many accidents are the result of shoddy maintenance or careless mistakes by workers. I wish people in the industry really understood how important it is to do things correctly. It's not like working at Burger King where leaving off a pickle isn't that big of a deal!

JohnDoenumber3 Says:

Feb 24, 2010 - For a Co2 compressor contributing to the fire source they were doomed. The guys who just tossed them boxes on are the final straw, and everybody dies.

kurtw71 Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - Pilots should allways be aware what they are carrying.

BusterBunker Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - Rip to all people on board. Ground crew should of been less careless with the cargo. As a funny note, I guess you don't fly with an airline named ValuJet. You get what you pay for. No Not really. Human error on the ground is what caused it. Carelessness

jbird0168 Says:

Nov 16, 2009 - I believe they were repackaged as AirTran
