Description: A plane belonging to Taiwan's China Airlines caught fire at Naha airport(OKA) on Japan's southern island of Okinawa on Monday, and there were conflicting reports about whether some people might still be on board. Some reports suggested all passengers and crew had made it off the airliner, but one report suggested four people might still be trapped on board, a Naha city fire official said. The Boeing 737 passenger plane had flown from Taipei to Naha, Okinawa's capital, with 155 passengers on board, public broadcaster said. An engine caught fire three minutes after the plane landed, broadcaster said. TV pictures showed black smoke billowing from the plane as airport fire crews smothered it in foam.

pointsur ::: Favorites leave it to a brit once again to open his mouth. boeing 737's have a VERY reliable record. they have improved each model as they change. i work for a major airport and some of my co-workers have been to the boeing facility in seattle. this has not happen on ANY american 737 that i know of. i knew some bloke would be on here with anti-american crap. stop it. 07-08-29 16:06:45 _____________________________________________________

saszer20 ::: Favorites this airline is among the worst, and most dangerous one in the world, and that's true-statistically there are 3 air crashes out of 8 in China, in USA 5 out of 20, in Russia 10 out of 17. Greets from P.O.L.A.N.D :) ( after 1989 ( fall of the communism ) there has not been any air disaster in my country :) 07-08-27 15:11:38 _____________________________________________________
oswald1973 ::: Favorites Adding to Mercedescl comment, Taiwan has another airline, EVA that has an excellent flight record. So it's not about nation but it's about the company. Taiwan should just close down China Airlines. 07-08-25 23:13:51 _____________________________________________________
mercedescl ::: Favorites "China airline" is actually a taiwanese airliner. Two different nations, two different places. But you are right on the part that China Airline is the deadliest of all airline companies, averaging a major accidents for every five to four years. 07-08-22 03:08:17 _____________________________________________________
