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.

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.

WATCH IT! National Geographic Channel - Air Crash Investigation 
Permanent link Post a Comment

I can't stress enough how great this documentary is. But I have been stressing and stressing, I thought it's time I do this;

People from Malaysia who has ASTRO, anyone who has access to National Geographic Channel and some parts that may have heard of this series titled as MAYDAY...

PLEASE I BEG THEE WATCH THIS SERIES.

I know it sounds bleak, crashes after crashes, but instead of fear of flying, I gained the greatest knowledge on how many ways one can die from a plane crash (it's not funny really), and more importantly how great pilots are as well as stewards and stewardess. It was because of this show I realised whatever reported in our Malaysian papers about the fairness of that deal for Malaysian Airlines air stewardess are a load of crap. One man dared to write that older stewards are more acceptable because men aged better whilst women with children please go home to look after their family or younger women are better for business.

Let me ask you this; you take a flight to get from point A to point B OR you take a flight to see young beautiful women?

And let me ask you this; in case of real disaster like those portrayed in this excellent series, do you forsee a young inexperienced pretty stewardess able to calm your senses or an older, much wiser, probably been through some of these bad patches who can give you comfort?

Oh please...retire once had 2 children? Not economically sound for an older air stewardess?

This series taught me a great many things, bleak but great and they are...

1. I'd rather pay for a reputable airline than a cheaper one
2. I'd rather a pilot who is skilled and experienced flying the plane than otherwise, and if that means the airline has to pay this pilot his due fees, PAY HIM - seen that plane gliding episode? Seen that British Airways almost crash in 1990? That is why good pilots must be retained and it is not easy to be a pilot mind you.
3. I'd rather be served by an older and experienced steward or stewardess than young ones who goes "Chicken or CHICKKENN?"

and last but not least

4. Being in an airplane is very very dangerous stuff you know. Unlike cars, once a plane goes down the Ocean, it is down, no way out. But this can be minimised by having a damn great captain and a damn great co-pilot, responsible and attentive steward and stewardess who do more than smiling and serving AND planes properly and actually well maintained.

After the episode Racing The Storm, I finally realised why I must never ever EVER complain about flight delays. The pilots should be left to do what they must to protect the interest of the passengers.

Oh Malaysia Airlines, please watch this series. PLEASEEEEE...

Check out this website for more info. My favourite episode of all is the one without a single death, that is the British Airways 1990 almost would be crash. The co-pilot, Alistaire something was so cool in the way he handled the crisis, the stewards and stewardess (all quite old mind you, and this is when experience counts) very professional even when they were filled with fear and doubts AND the captain, Tim Lancaster good for him he survived and managed to even laugh about it!

Ok so the story may not be fully told in the series BUT it has all the facts, the emotions and the answers to all the whys.

The full story about BA 1990 here.

WATCH IT!!
