My favorite bash.org quotes, #6
Hurricane “Emma” has passed over Germany this weekend. So far, the death toll is 9 people. The folks on this Airbus A320, approaching Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel EDDH this Saturday were pretty lucky to keep their lives. [Update: According to German Newspaper “Die Zeit”, there were 131 pax and 6 crew on board.]
If you ask me, the pilot should have gone MAP after the sharp bank just before crossing the fence.
Oh my… looks like you will be able to BYOB onto aircraft again, and not have to buy the same thing you were forced to discard at the security check at the duty-free store and then take it onto the plane. From the European Parliament website:
The House adopted a resolution with 464 votes in favour, 158 against and 70 abstentions on the restrictions imposed by the EU on liquids that passengers can take on board aeroplanes. MEPs call upon the Commission to review urgently and — if no further conclusive facts are brought forward — to repeal Regulation (EC) No 1546/2006 (introduction of liquids onto aircraft). The particular amendment on the possible repeal was adopted with 382 votes in favour, 298 against and 15 abstentions.
Looks like the European Parliament is still able to make useful decisions after all. Or maybe the MEPs finally noticed that this ban - unlike most other EU regulations - annoyed these frequent-flyer types just as much as the normal citizens. Ahhh… no, that couldn’t be the reason.
