goodness me................ that is so scary. I so hope they are all truly ok....

Goddess Love them. I hope they are all safe and sound and ok.

Me too Maya. Someone had sent me the link to the article and my heart just fell into my stomach. Man, I so glad he, Dave and all the other passengers are safe.

Deb

Thank goodness they're fine. I read this line, and the first thing that popped into my head was: OMG!!! Just like the Titanic!

Oh that is scarey! Thank God they're all okay! Not just Jon and Dave, but the other passengers too.

hmm engine failure happens all the time

nothing much to worry about, they dont have monkeys flying jets you know people

Captain Paul Holland, on his last flight to New York before retiring next week after 35 years as a pilot with Qantas


he he he least the pilot will remember his last flight!

My husband has had this happen on business flights. If you fly enough I guess this stuff will happen. Hopefully the guys were not too alarmed- I know when I am in first class I am fairly oblivious. Just so thankful they are ok and I am sure their wives and kids are too.

My friend Allie told me this... I rushed here to check it out...
I still can't believe it.....Thank god everyone is ok....

Just the thought of it make s me so upset...
We lost alot of talented people in the air....
and the thought of JON in a plane crash

I agree with Becky ...thanks God it wasn't a too bad failure for the whole passengers ...
and Yes Mongoose said it right too ... we just don't notice when Jon is not on board but those kind of failure are rather "usual" (not so much but ... I have several friends who are pilots .. we just don't know about it but problems occurs often)
anyway THANKS GOD it wasn not a fatal failure (the pilot flew during 35 years without any bad failure ... so it's still the safer way to travel .... :P but I hate that anyway )

Engine failures happen and if it's only a shut down there's no need to even abort the flight. A normal 777 can fly all the way across the atlantic with just one engine, planes are safe.
I love flying and enjoy it a lot, and I know that if something occurs chances are almost 100% that the flight crew will sort it out, as in this case. I wouldn't get jumped up about this, even though the thought of losing BJ bandmembers in a plane crash isn't the funniest of thoughts. But alas, everyone is fine and doing great, so all is good!
