SELECTED POSTS
This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is
actually the index page of this website has
grown into a huge database of my almost
daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to
my heart, including gossips of the most
sordid kind. For your convenience, I have
posted a list of posts which I thought is
pretty informative in my own way that you
might find interesting. The list itself may
be long but those selected few are the ones
I thought drives home the point I wanted to
make. Do check them out in
MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].
SERIES' SUMMARIES
Sometime in 2004 I began
reviewing selected
series in an episode by
episode way, where I
called these reviews
EPISODIC THOUGHTS.
These thoughts are
mostly summaries of each
and every episode with
my opinion of that
episode included in it
as well. I may not
provide the most in
depth summaries but I am
very proud of the fact
that I could keep the
writing on such a long
winded basis each and
every night for the
entirety of the series.
I don't do this for each
and every series though
because it kills a lot
of brain cells, mine as
well as fellow netizens
who often joined in the
discussion by posting
informative stuff. These
thoughts are still open
for feedback and
discussion. Do check
them all out in
REVIEWS where it is
indicated with an
[E]
next to my name.
OFFBEAT STUFF
There is this one
section in here that
features offbeat stuff
that are not
entertainment based. The
section is known as

Air Crash Investigations
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
AN APOLOGY
First of all I must apologise for my misunderstanding in my post about the Pope's death where I wrote that Malaysia will not be sending any representative to the funeral whilst Indonesia is sending 3. I read in the papers today we will be sending TWO representative, unfortunately not one of them our PM or DPM. I do think that a famous and influential as well as respected figure such as the Pope merits at least, at the very least the attendance of our PM. Maybe he will be going, I hope. Because frankly our country is not facing any crisis at this moment, so the DPM can handle the domestic issues whilst the world is kinda freeze framed, everything kinda stopped because of the Pope's not so sudden death.
AIR CRASH INVESTIGATIONS - CH 52 ASTRO
Anyway anyone watches this excellent documentary, Air Crash Investigations on Ch 52 ASTRO? Week after week viewers will be reminded why they must never travel by air. Kidding! But it is scary how some air crash can happen and the consequence of it, like how one father killed an air traffic controller after losing his wife and child in the air crash that before the report was out, the air traffic controller was blamed. That was a Russian plane. How the worst crash (before 911 became the worst but that was DELIBERATE crash) TWA colliding with KLM. That was so tragic and though the reports blamed it on the KLM Dutch Captain, the documentary tried to explain the many reasons. That crash happened because of in part pure bad luck, but also because of faulty communication problem still existing today and stupid air controllers who had said Yes to a question that required a loud NO as the first word. Then of course a rule; a big rule; if there is fog, visibility rate is zero, you at the tower can't even see the runway more so the planes, no guys with neon lights down at the runway and no radar, never ever let any plane fly in that condition. NEVER. Because of all those mistakes 500 plus people died.
But what I love about this series are the actors. They were so convincing, though most are just guessess but the actors portrayed the human emotions so well I almost cried when I saw the DHL plane which collided with the Russian plane went down, the young co pilot trying hard to stabilise the plane but knew they were going down, one tear rolling down his eyes.
After watching this series I also realise there are many Sam Tongs out there as Captains. Cool, calm, collected. But many crashes also happened because of the Captain's tidak apa attitude, but I am sure very very rare. Most of the time I blame it on the air traffic controllers.
Anyway this series catched my eye when one Sunday or Saturday I was going to watch Kung Fu Hustle VCD (legal of course) when I saw the preamble to this series, one particular episode about British Airways' almost crash back I think in the 80s I think. Can't remember. I remember I was about to turn the channel when I saw one old Captain hanging out the cockpit whilst an air steward trying desperately to hang on to his legs so that he won't fly off and a young pilot trying very hard to stabilise the plane whilst we get to see a big window, gone in the cockpit. It was such a well narrated, well explained and well acted episode, I became hooked. And I admired the whoe crew for their professionalism (that almost crash was none of the crew's fault nor the plane's fault nor the traffic controller's fault, but rather the overworked Engineer's fault) but the one person I was really so in awe with was the cool headed First Officer who landed the plane perfectly, no casualty (not even the captain who not just didn't die but he even went back to work months later and can still laugh about that horrible accident) and it was in history a perfect safe. I am sure that young pilot, now an old pilot would have a lifetime employment with British Airways. Imagine he did everything right, and he did it all by himself as the Captain was kinda busy outside the plane! But many documentaries thereafter dealt with Captains who did almost everything wrong. Also got terrorists hijacking a french plane (one of the best acting ever but everytime the terrorists shouted something in Arabic or said the words Allah, it was kinda silenced out-deny all the censorship board wants, most terrorists are Muslim simply using Allah's good name in the name of violence). So many stories and all so very sad.
Do catch it, on Tuesdays 10 pm or Sundays 7pm. I guarantee you will learn so much and be very afraid! Of course only if you have ASTRO.
