A few days ago there was a deadly plane crash in Columbia. Erwnin Tumiri, 1/6 survivors had sobbed and called the names of "his crew" to see if they were okay. 2/6 were "his crew" (the flight attendants) and the other 4 were passengers. Shortly after the accident Tumiri, a flight engineer, told the media that the only way he survived was because he curled up into a fetal position with a bag between his knees as the plane crashed into the mountainside, as others stood up and began to shout. The reason for this deadly crash was because the plane was supposed to be refueled before it flew to Medellin, but that never happened.
I think this is just awful, something that could've so easily not happened by just putting fuel into the plane. This is also a great lesson to us because we should be able to automatically know what to do in these kind of situations. Tumiri is extremely and smart that he used what he learned in training. I can't believe that 71 people died due to a horrible mistake. This can relate to the Iran Air Boeing 727 crash that crashed into a hillside in 2011, killing 77 people.

It's so sad that all of this could've been avoided and people didn't have to die. People should learn from this not to be lazy and irresponsible. - Skyler Tepedino
ReplyDeleteIt is horrible that all of these people died from something that was so preventable. The fact that Tumiri survived because of his knowledge of what to do tells you that if more people had known what to do, more people could have survived. I think that people should be more educated on how to react in situations like this so that when the unthinkable happens, they can increase their odds of survival.
ReplyDeleteThis is yet another tragedy I've read about. I hope this will increase safety when flying.
