 GET READY TO CRASH

FEAR IN THE AIR: THE ITALLAN PASSENGERS ON THE AER LINGUS FLIGHT WERE HORRIFIED BY THE CABIN CREW'S MISTAKEN EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT

PASSENGERS  TERRIFIED BY BLUNDER ON INTERCOM

THE plane was cruising along at 35,000ft and the  passengers barely had a care in the world. Little more than an hour out of Dublin, even a spot of turbulence caused little more excitement than an automatic  fasten your seat belts message, At least, that was as far as the Irish were concerned.  Seconds later, though, the Italians on board the flight to Venice were hitting the panic button because they were told they were about to crash. It appears the cabin crew aboard Aer Lingus flight EI462 had activated the right English-speaking message, but had pressed the wrong Dutton for the Italian version.  First , the call down the cabin announced an emergency and asked if a doctor was on board. No sooner had that been taken in, but a second message in Italian warned that the plane was about to crash and urged passengers to adopt the emergency position. One Italian passenger, Lara Cimetta, thought she was about to die. she said yesterday: 'I heard the announcement first in English, which I did not understand, and then in Italian asking if there was a doctor on board because there had been an emergency,  "This was followed by one saying "We are about to start an emergency landing, please adopt the emergency landing position".  When I heard the first announcement I was worried, but when I heard the second one I panicked and thought I  was about to die. 'I could see another plane far away be on some collision course. 'My heart started beating so hard. I was amazed that all the other passengers were sitting reading or talking and were very relaxed.' She  called a stewardess who checked and found out a prerecorded announcement .  Mrs Cimetta. 45, said: 'I couldn't sleep properly for days afterwards, I don't know if I will ever fly again. Yesterday, a spokesman for Aer  Lingus  said the company had no information on the incident, 'Our crew submits a report after a flight. We have no report of any unusual occurrences like that,'

Lufthansa to operate A380 to US, Hong Kong next month

Wednesday February 14, 2007

Lufthansa yesterday revealed details of its plan to take the A380 on a series of route-proving tests next month that will include the jumbo jet's first landing in the US.

The carrier, which expects to take delivery of the first of 15 ordered aircraft in the summer of 2009, said A380 number 007 will arrive in Frankfurt on March 17, then carry approximately 500 "guests" to New York JFK two days later. Most passengers will be Airbus and LH staff. The airline said the aircraft also will visit Hong Kong, Washington Dulles and Munich, although it did not provide the schedule. The tests will conclude March 28.

Lufthansa, which already has worked with Airbus on evacuation, early long flight and cabin service tests, said its route-proving relationship is "exclusive."

Both Airbus and LH pilots will fly the aircraft, while employees from both companies onboard will test inflight systems, air conditioning, lighting, acoustics and other equipment. LH flight attendants will work the cabin.

In Frankfurt, the airline "will rigorously test the entire ground infrastructure for the A380," including comparing turnaround time with its other long-haul types. It began constructing an A380 hangar at FRA last fall.
