A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

British Flight Grounded after Microwave Scare




What: flight to Gatwick, operated by Thomsonfly
Where: Pula airport in western Croatia.
When: Tuesday afternoon
Who: 190 passengers
Why:Black smoke filled the cabin when an onboard microwave oven caught fire. The jet was grounded for repairs. Technicians found an 'installation error' in the on board microwave. Some passengers returned to London via train; the passengers who weren't terrified out of their wits waited in the terminal for eight hours to fly back to London on a different plane.
