- specious story and piss-poor journalism... give this one an 'F' for the following:

major omissions, missing facts:

- what carrier?
- what type of aircraft?
- what flight number
- when did this happen?
- company pilots?
- number of people on aircraft?

- when i read stories like this on supposed 'news organization' web sites, i am extremely gratified that i never pursued my intentioned career as a journalist...

Carrier - Phuket Air (Mentioned twice)

Aircraft - Boeing 747 (title "Britons in JUMBO* terror")

Yes the story is a bit "thin", but info is there if you look for it.

Given the name of the airlines and some of the descriptions of what was going on in the plane, I really wonder if that story was not posted in the news on April 1. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Hi all,

PHUKET Air? Yeah, April Fool from Sky, Britain's answer to Foxtel.

This story is absolutely true. # I don't know what the article posted for the name of the airline, but it is a long branch of "Fudpucker World Airlines" #based originally in Hayden, Idaho. # #Or was it Hayden Lake, Idaho?

This #also used to be part of Fudpucker Trucking Co.

Yawn.

From the details in the story,it wasn't a flight at all. The crew taxied out and taxied back -- never got airborne.

I'd bet big that a few hysterical passengers over-reacted and mis-represented the facts. Maybe retitle it: "Unfortunate Taxiing Upsets a Few Nut Cases"

Phuket is a place in Thailand, very popular as a holiday destination.

I'm rollin..

Who would possibly buy a ticket?

Hi DJM and readers,

"This also used to be part of Fudpucker Trucking Co."

I still remember a joke I heard in grade school about Peter Fudpucker, think about it.

Re ZMA:
"Phuket is a place in Thailand, very popular as a holiday destination."

Anyone who heard about the tsunami is well aware of that.

He said: "It's crazy to say gallons of fuel were leaking out.

"Are passengers really qualified to know what's going on? There was no danger to passengers. People sometimes panic."

Anybody who says that is probably not concerned with the safety of the passengers and the date on it says April 4th
