Whats the difference does it make "how often"? When it happens its usually fatal and this looks like a miracle only 2 dead (RIP).
How often per year you have terrorist attack (1 this year?) and yet you have billions of dollars spent and US Constitution shredded with the possibility of some sweating pot-belly stranger grouping your three-years daughter between her crotch, checking if you hadn't packed some explosives there (just like every american parent would sacrifice their child for their terrorist threat [just being extremely sarcastic here obviously]).
Its actually weird that each airport does not have close-circuit cameras recording each runway. I dont see a problem just make it what 24hours closed recording and its enough in case there is situation like this one.
Side note: from the initial pictures how the roof looked like, my assumption was that there were two bombs in overhead compartments. I would never guess that a belly diving would cause such a sever damage to the roof of the airplane where it looks like it was extensively burned.

- jeffbarr 13y agoEvery photo that I have seems shows the open roof. I can't tell if the fire burned it through or if the roof was ripped open by the fire fighters and the rescue teams. If the former, I wonder if the plane's vertical profile was designed in such a way as to keep the fire above the passengers (if such a thing is even possible).
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoMy experience with fire in an enclosed space is that you never want to introduce air. I am confident that the airport fire crews did not rip the fuselage open at the top. The photos I have seen look like burned aluminum. http://a57.foxnews.com/global.fncstatic.com/static/managed/img/fn-latino/news/660/371/Asana%20Flight%20214.jpg?ve=1 http://a57.foxnews.com/global.fncstatic.com/static/managed/i...

- lsaferite 13y agoThe initial crash had some smaller fires that died out. They evacuated the people and then the plane started burning. The damage to the roof was from the secondary fires.
- melling 13y agoBecause if it only happens once every 10 years or so and it doesn't provide any real value beyond what the flight and data recorders provide then it hardly seems worth it. Technology changes quickly. It sounds like it was human error. I'd rather have something to help prevent it rather than seeing the footage of the crash. Let's get the crashes down to one every 20 years.
