From the country that brought you toy recall and tainted food and drugs, it's Exploding Plane!
Passengers used emergency slides to evacuate the China Airlines jet just moments before the plane burst into a fireball Monday on the tarmac. All 165 people aboard escaped unhurt, including the pilot. The aircraft skidded on the tarmac on its way from the runway to the gate after landing, starting a fire that prompted the emergency evacuation, according to China Airlines spokesman Sun Hung-wen. Initial reports from ground personnel showed that a fuel leak from the right engine could have led to a series of explosions.
As a result, authorities ordered China Airlines and its subsidiary Mandarin Airlines to ground their 13 other Boeing 737-800s pending a thorough inspection. Previously, a China Airlines 747 crashed in 2002, killing 225, and some 450 people died in China Airlines accidents during the 1990s.
Clearly, China can not be trusted any longer and steps should be made to take the 2008 Olympics away from them. Panda Express, however, is still delicious and safe.
