    Mechanical issues are quite common in the aviation industry. Its just a part of the business that why only the players with deep pockets can make a go at it and survive.

    Was that a premonition, this plane with the crashed plane registration numbers? Hmm. All I can say is this, these machines are built by human hands, and they will at some point give problems, just like a car, a boat, a motor cycle or even a weed cutter, after all God has created us and as we get old we have pains and problems in our bodies. However, I am just happy that the plane was grounded before another disaster and hope that they will make a complete check on all their other planes.

      The report did NOT say flight registration. It said flight number. Please familiarize yourself with these before you make a comment. It’s like this rumors begin to spread.
