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.

Spanair Survives Emergency Landing

What: Another Spanair airplane, a SAS Group airline Flight JK-4113
Where: en route from Ibiza to Lisbon landed at Palma de Mallorca Airport
When: one hour after take-off
Who: 163 people on board
Why: unknown reason. The plane had taken off on its third try.

Good for you Spanair. Better safe than sorry. But maybe if it takes more than one try to get in flight, its time to take a hard look at the plane. D'ya think?
