Facilities are important for Air Safety
Contrary to what most of the non-technical idiots in FAA
management think, facilities are important for Air Safety Systems to check for a dangerous weather condition were faulty at the time of Sunday's devastating air crash at Phuket airport, Thai officials say. Some of the airport's wind shear alert systems were not working properly, said aviation official Vutichai Singhamany. Investigators have said wind shear - a sudden change in either wind speed or direction - was among the possible causes of the crash. Officials in Phuket are still working to identify the victims of the crash.At least 89 people were killed when the plane, operated by budget airline One-Two-Go, skidded off the runway.Many foreigners were on the flight. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7000919.stm
