Znowu Helios...

A Helios Airways flight from Cyprus to London's Luton Airport was diverted on
Friday because the pilot believed he had a problem with the aircraft's flaps,
an airport spokeswoman said.

"It was not an emergency landing, it's what's called a 'local standby'," she
said, noting that the plane had landed safely.

A Helios flight from Cyprus's Larnaca Airport to Athens crashed in mysterious
circumstances on Sunday just outside the Greek capital, killing all six crew
and 115 passengers.

A spokeswoman for the airline said flight ZU400 left Larnaca on Friday
morning and had been due to land at Luton, north of London, but instead
touched down at Stansted Airport, also near the capital.

She said all 177 passengers had disembarked without incident and were now
being helped to their onward destinations.

Investigators hope autopsy tests on the victims of Sunday's crash will shed
some light on why the pilot, co-pilot and many passengers on the Boeing 737
apparently fell unconscious before the crash.

One theory for Greece and Cyprus's worst air disaster was faulty air
conditioning or a fire releasing poisonous fumes.

Kazdy zawodowy pilot z ktorym rozmawialem wyrazil glebokie zdziwienie za
jakakolwiek awaria klimatyzacji (nawet katastrofalna) moglaby doprowadzic do
czegos takiego. Trujace gazy oczywiscie bylyby bardziej sensowne jakkolwiek
systemy klimatyzacyjne w samolotach oparte sa na tzw. "air cycle" gdzie nie ma
zadnych chemikali i plynow lodowkowych typu freon.

Niech na poczatku wyjasnia dlaczego kapitana nie bylo w kabinie (o ile wiem
jego ciala do tej pory nie znaleziono). Wszystko to strasznie smierdzi.

O ile wiem to wszystkie ciala juz odnaleziono. A toksyczne dymy juz byly
przyczynami katastrof. Jak chociazby MD-11 Swissairu, ktory rozbil sie pod
Halifaxem.

To chyba nie wiesz. Czytalem ostatnia depesze z Athen datowana Aug. 19 i do tej
pory 3 cial nie maja.
Ze Swisair byla drobna roznica - tam byl pozar w kabinie. Tu raczej temperatury
byly bardzo niskie ...
Teksologiczne testy na cialach ciagle sa prowadzone. Bedzie za pare dni wiadomo
czy jakiekolwiek trucizny wchodza w gre. CO/CO2 zostaly juz wyeliminowane.

Rzeczywiscie, masz racje co do tych trzech nie odnalezionych cial. Brakuje
m.in. kapitan...

An exhausted-sounding man sent last-minute Mayday calls from the Helios Airways
737 that crashed earlier this month, Greek officials investigating one of civil
aviation's most baffling incidents said on Monday.

The Helios Boeing 737 crashed on August 14 into mountains near Athens, crashing
from around 35,000 feet up (10 kilometres) to kill all 115 passengers and six
crew in Greece and Cyprus' worst air disaster.

The cause of the crash is a mystery
