These babelfish translations are rough, aren't they? I think I understand it: someone verified they saw bodies of a flight attendant & women on children at the scene?
women AND children. I so cannot type today. :(
Don't forget about that Air France flight in Canada, the one where miraculously no-one died. Did they ever figure out what happened there?
Looks like at least one survivor, this Mr. Zea.
Peru passenger jet makes emergency landing in jungle
LIMA, Peru, Aug 23 (Reuters) - A Peruvian passenger plane on Tuesday made an emergency landing without its landing gear on a road near a jungle airport in heavy storms, firefighters said.
The plane, operated by state airlines TANS, was flying to the jungle town of Pucalpa in central Peru when it came down several miles (km) before the runway, police in the area added.
"The plane made an emergency landing but without its landing gear ... We don't know if anyone was killed," said firefighter Ilda Pineda.
One passenger, William Zea, told RPP radio about 20 people were injured in the crash landing.
TANS declined to comment.
I think it was effects of high winds on landing.
Oh, that's Babelfish? I thought it was English as a 12th language. :) Now it makes sense!
Heh. I'm still getting to that part ;)
;) it's like a puzzle.
They don't hold planes for bad weather anymore?
The plane landed long and couldn't stop in time.
The pilot made a bad approach and figured he could pull it off.
Write a couple of paragraphs. Babelfish it to German, then to French, then to Spanish and back to English. What comes back can be really funny. I gave the Babelfish treatment to Hamlet's soliloquy once- it was hysterical.
Give me the Pony Express.
I think bad weather is all the time there ;^).
I wonder- are there suddenly a lot more air crashes than usual, or is the rate of crashes about the same, but the media is paying more attention to them for some reason.
The first thing that came to mind was- once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.
