Israel Dubai flight: Pilots taken to hospital, says airpo...

The mother of a passenger on the diverted plane says her daughter described people screaming as the plane dropped 17,000ft (5,200m) in less than two minutes.

Ouch, horrible. Thank God there were no casualties 🙏

This may appear as unsensitive, but I couldn't stop thinking about it: the first report of this was the thread at Airliners.net, where it simply said "Worrying flight data on Flydubai flight 1073 (squawk 7500 and 7700 rapid dive)". I can't imagine switching between 7500 and 7700 in an Airbus or an Embraer, where you type digit by digit, without a standby.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
