British Airways!What a great safety on board.

British airways is offering a splendid record of safety on board.Last week two passenger fell out from the plane and yesterday the 28th
December,0000 an intruder tried to grab controls in the cockpit during when the flight was en-route to Kenya. Surprisely! the auto-pilot
was desengaged and struggle between the pilots and the intruder caused great turbulance and summersault, which injured many
passengers on board.
PIA is the best and rest should be shut.

HEHEHEHE You are joking. I am astounded that there are ppl who still believe in silly things. British Airways record is better than any airline in the world.

It's not very surprising that the autopilot was turned off because it is only a small switch which can easily be disengaged so the pilot can take control of the plane rapidly. The auto pilot will follow a certain flight path however if another airplane was to get too close then the pilot would need to take drastic action from preventing a collision because the autopilot wont do it.

Indeed all planes are designed like this so how the PIA plane could've avoided this is beyond me. Also ALL airlines leave the cockpit unlocked during flights except on landing and take-off. So if a mad man wanted to commit suicide how would the PIA flight have prevented this? Of course in hindsight all airlines will be looking to prevent this from ocurring and will be looking into improving security.

Indeed a lot of airlines don't give their flight staff such rigorous traing techniques as BA in dealing with aggressive passengers so one should question whether if the same incident were to occur in a PIA flight or any other flight including BA would we have the same outcome.

There was no turbulence on the flight because this suggests that changes in the air outside caused the plane to move. However this was not the case.

Yasmin,
You are explaining as if you were on board BA.
