At least this one didn't crash...
Plane makes emergency landing after takeoff in NYC NEW YORK – An American Airlines plane made an emergency landing in New York minutes after takeoff. The pilot had reported engine problems. Port Authority spokesman Pasquale DiFulco (Pas-KWAHL-ay Dee-FUHL'-koh) says some debris was found in a neighborhood. Officials could not immediately confirm reports that the debris included parts of the plane's engine. American Flight 309 left LaGuardia Airport at 8:15 a.m. Wednesday. The pilot reported engine problems and the plane was diverted to nearby Kennedy Airport. It landed safely and no injuries were reported. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090311/...rgency_landing |

Most likely, inspection standards are going down, due both to the economy as well as 8 years of the Bush administation poo-pooing the need for federal oversight of business, safety and health. The same happened in the food industry as well.

Do you work in the aviation field? If you do then you's know that that statement is about as far from the truth as you can get.

I dunno dude, I've had plenty of flights delayed and/or canceled because the found something wrong with the aircraft... I'd prefer they find it BEFORE takeoff rather than the alternative... better to be late than Late

I work closely with the FAA and their regulations are getting tighter and tighter everyday. Their job is to make flying safer... NOT more convenient.
