Air France Airbus A330 Missing

Not really a valid statement. The Hudson River crash was caused by ingestion of a flock of geese which stopped both engines. Nothing to do with the airplane's intrinsic airworthiness.

These aircraft are very well-designed and are known to be extremely reliable and fuel-efficient.

To my recollection, this is the first fatal crash (if it did indeed crash, which is likely) of an A330 in passenger service.

indeed, im an avid fan of airbus planes...i really admire the redundancy of the systems they incorporate to each and every design of their airplanes...airbus planes are indeed, as said by sir tarmac, extremely reliable...if ever airbus planes ever encounter some incidents, the very reason behind it could be either natural or environmental factors or if not, human error...

Bitaw no. Di man diay kinahanglan nga kamao mag swimming para maka scuba.

Running is not walking either. You do not need to know how to walk to be able to run.

Back to the topic, the Pinoy passenger onboard has been identified as Arden Jugueta, a seaman whose ship docked in Rio. He was on his way home to Manila via Paris. Story below:

LMAO. OT ni pero just funny. In a movie called "Endless Summer II" there was the tale of the African surfer who didn't know how to swim. Remembered it now because of all this talk about pilots who can't swim hahaha.

OT: Loved that movie. That's the surfing movie by Bruce Brown, di ba? Actually, it's true. Some scuba divers are not good swimmers in the sense that they can't swim in any discernible stroke outside of the dog paddle, but that's still considered swimming. The primary requirement in diving is to be comfortable in the water. People who don't know how to swim at all aren't comfortable in the water and there's no way you can get them to dive.

But saying pilots don't know how to swim is, as Spock would say, illogical.

Yep yep, that movie.

I'm now even contemplating maybe he meant dili kabalo molangoy ang pilot sa lubi which is also quite illogical (considering that coconut harvesters usually live beside the sea, except perhaps if taga-bukid LOL).

Kung dapit ni sa river pwede pa naay mabuhi pero if sa Atlantic ocean gyud ni like the news said murag milagro na gyud kaayo kung naay musurvive...

This reminds me of the TV series Lost.
