Smoking Air China pilots allegedly cause plane to drop 6,000 meters

in #airplane6 years ago

Air China flight CA106, en route from Hong Kong to the northeastern Chinese city of Dalian, descended from above 10,000 meters (32,800 feet) to below 4,000 meters (13,100 feet) in less than nine minutes Tuesday, according to phone GPS data shared with CNN by a passenger on board.

Ugh, this story is not good for my fear of flying at all! What were the pilots thinking, just do your job, nobody wants a carnival ride 30,000 feet in the air. Glad I wasn't on that flight!
