American AIrlines flight 962 from SP to Dallas had to land at Manaus and wait more than three hours. An experience akin to waterboarding. :D ;D :D ;D - bo

What ever it is, rest assured that the authorities will find out and put a halt to it. Unless they have been subject to Mind Control as well. In that case, all bets are off. In that case take the bus or the boat, depending on where you need to go. Thanks for the reassuring and positive comment. We trust in our Minister of Defense. Fearless Pires.Mind Control? He has a Doctoral degree in this and Lucas needs not fear. Our brave Pires will protect us all from those odious foreigners . As for your trip next week to Dallas,have no fear. Pires and those two High Level executives of ANAC who got the medals would have solved the problem,by the time you leave. If you cant make it,you better "Relaxar e Gozar" and wait for the brand new airport to be built in S.Paulo to be completed. - O Velhino

Bo, maybe Lucas R is on to something. Why did the black boxes go to the USA? Doubters will cite the fact that since Pratt and Whitney is U.S. (and Swiss) based, the US has the right to be in on the investigation, but maybe there IS a conspiracy. A plane from the US had to turn back yesterday rather than procede to Brazil, and two American planes enroute from South Brazil to the USA had to land in Manaus, according to news reports, since the lights went out on Cindacta 4 and the backup generators didn´t come on line. Another report said it was the comm radios. Another said it was the radar. American AIrlines flight 962 from SP to Dallas had to land at Manaus and wait more than three hours. An experience akin to waterboarding. I´ve gotta go there next week. Not looking forward to it. Power doesn´t just go out on its own. Generators in the Amazon don´t just refuse to start. Semi-conductors don´t just cease to semi-conduct. Sounds like Mind Control, as Lucas suggests, or other high-tech nefarious sabotage techniques. What ever it is, rest assured that the authorities will find out and put a halt to it. Unless they have been subject to Mind Control as well. In that case, all bets are off. In that case take the bus or the boat, depending on where you need to go. - Ric

The flight systems (and controllers as well) went crazy, the american pilots returned to the USA, but the system, the controllers and now the management of a major air company, are still crazy...[/quote] Evil wizards they are....think the same one as in Toto, Dorothy, and Oz!!! - bo

There are too many professional "mind makers" intervening in the destiny of this crucial sector in the Brasilien economy. It all started when a simply transponder button was found to be off, perhaps intentionaly turned off by the american pilots, that caused the first big tragedy. From that moment on, the Brasilian skyies have become a nightmare, from one moment to the other. Yeah Lucas, couldn't agree more. It's all a big conspiracy and Brazil is on top of the "shit list". I think the U.S. gov't. also has pioneered mind-control methods and has had the entire brazilian congress under it's spell robbing and stealing for it for several decades now! - bo

[quote]I wish he had said or added, "We will take immediate steps to correct the situation so that it is very unlikely to happen again." Realistically it can happen again, but a longer runway, grooving and a new airport certainly will greatly reduce the chances it does. It looks like those who can make it happen will do so. I wish the political statements would reflect that attitude; that is, "We can do it and we will!" [/quote] Ralph,couldnt help replying! This is precisely what I think .Sorry,it happened and that we will ensure that it doesnt happen again.The problem with him is he is still in the opposition and wants to govern with his cumpanheiros who will always be in the oppostion. What made me sad was that the mouring period of 3 days was not even over. This guy had to make present medals to the ANAC executives for their services to the Civil Aviation. A sick joke indeed. Just wait till Monday, when the Brazilian reporters pick up the story! - O Velhino

My, this is the longest blog I've see. Lots of interesting responses. Before it shuts down, I want to comment one more time about the TAM tragedy. I think it illustrates a lot. Prsident Lula was quoted as saying, "There will be a thorough investigation." Yes, I'm sure there will be. To me that says, "We will find who to blame." I wish he had said or added, "We will take immediate steps to correct the situation so that it is very unlikely to happen again." Realistically it can happen again, but a longer runway, grooving and a new airport certainly will greatly reduce the chances it does. It looks like those who can make it happen will do so. I wish the political statements would reflect that attitude; that is, "We can do it and we will!" Best to all, whether you agree or not! RM - Ralph M

[quote]Thank you, O Velhino, for the kind invitation. BTW, I am an Aeronautical Engineer myself. Retired now, of course. May not have enough years left to make it to Brazil. Believe me, those Embraer Engineers and their alma mater need no one making excuses for them! They are great! I think everyone who writes all these responses is saying the same thing, just in different ways. All see the potential for Brazil and want so much for it to be realized. A nation like Brazil has all the leadership it needs to solve all of its problems. They just need to stand up and be recognized and supported by those around them who understand the real problems. They do not need to be greatly controversial. Just lead in doing what needs to be done. Lets hope they start soon! RM [/quote] Thanks for the kind words about our Meritocrats.Very nice of you both. Cant write long comments this week end,because we have to give attention to a 77 year old American ,whom we have known for over the past 30 years. I will check with him about what he thinks about the whole thing.Great week end. Oh, Ralph,you being an Aeronautical Engineer, keep track of what is happening wrt TAM A320. - O Velhino

The real and honest American Dream should be everywhere, to everybody. The American Dream is what any citizen in any country in the world -Africa, Americas, Europe, anywhere- should dream about his or her own country. It could then be called Mexican Dream, Brasilien Dream or Kenyan Dream, etc. But USA insists in having just on dream on the the planet: their own, and reserved for just them own. This is the key issue of the USA policy towards the rest of the world, and that is what I'm saying should be updated. I had that American Dream one day and I made it to come true by visiting and stayind in the USA for a long period of time. Those years were at the end of that American Dream: Vietnam War, Watergate, John Lennon "detetion", and so on. Now that the Dream is about over, USA insists in keeping other countries from having their own Dream. One of the technics is spreading confusion among them. This caos in the Brasilian air traffic is a clear demonstration of this intervention. There are too many professional "mind makers" intervening in the destiny of this crucial sector in the Brasilien economy. It all started when a simply transponder button was found to be off, perhaps intentionaly turned off by the american pilots, that caused the first big tragedy. From that moment on, the Brasilian skyies have become a nightmare, from one moment to the other. In a natural sequence -or maybe if the two Embraer jet pilots were not americans- all this nightmare wouln'd ever happen. I remember reading in this site -months ago, after the first accident when the two american pilots were still under custody in Brazil-, someone saying more or less like this: If they don't let the pilots to fly back to the USA they will start seeing their flying systems going crazy... The flight systems (and controllers as well) went crazy, the american pilots returned to the USA, but the system, the controllers and now the management of a major air company, are still crazy... I understand the (political incorrect) gesture of one top President Lula's aid, extensively shown in the news and in the YouTube. It shows the level of saturation the "professional" criticism to this country and it's legal government has reached. - lucas R.

Well, Lucas R., I perceive that you may be unaware of what the American Dream really is. I won´t define it here, but there is another American Dream for foreigners, illustrated by photos of guys in Tijuana looking across the fence at the USA. Go ahead and dream, the Border Patrol can´t monitor their aspirations, but the USA is under no obligation to help them make their wishes come true either. May I repeat once more the observation that Americans don´t really care what the rest of the world thinks about any subject, except that the Liberal Elite does care. So appealing to World Opinion will get you less than nowhere with most Americans. I hate to say that and it´s terribly insensitive and unfair, but also truer than a Ford Motorsports aluminum driveshaft. - Ric

what the fuck are you talking about?? I said, "react in turn"!! Obviously you're yet ANOTHER idiot that can't understand words written on a page!! Did I say anything about "invade"?? LMAO! What an idiot! "React in turn" idiot! Let me make it even clearer for your illiterate ass.....a policy of reciprocity! Would only be fair...wouldn't it?? Let the american gov't. and american citizens start treating the brazilian gov't. and brazilians the way they are treated!!! - bo

Bo, you sound a bit too agressive.

Sat, 21 Jul 2007 12:02:14 +0100

--- Maybe one day when Americans wake up out of their slumber, if they ever really start to pay attention to Brazil and the way Brazil has acted and reacted towards americans, the american gov't., and american policy, maybe we'll start to react in turn, I can only hope. Because I'd betcha some attitudes would start changing around here real f**king fast. Come on idiot: You are saying the 7th Cavalary will invade Brasil and hang Lula and his government like Irak or Afghanistan?? No way man! This option is out of the scope. Just ignorant people like you can still have such kind of thing in their minds. USA should start to realise that the world has changed and they (including you) are still doing it in the old fashion way. Hopefully USA will be discharged as the "police of the world" as soon as they depart from Irak, and the USA "policy" you've mentioned, banned from the face of the earth. Humanity needs another example because USA have perverted the "American Dream" that one day has been the dream of all human been on earth. Unless USA becomes more friendly to all people and all nations of planet earth and stop the esploitation of the other countries and other people, no one on earth will ever wellcome any american in their homes anymore. Please wake up boy! While it is still time for it... Life then will be easier all around the world. - lucas R.

It's kind of hard for Joe Sharkey not to form an opinion on his EXPERIENCE here in Brazil....and it wasn't good! And unforutunately, being a gringo that's lived here for a decade, I can tell you first hand, and also by the hundreds, if not thousands, of other gringos that I've known or know that have either travelled here, or lived here, or currently live here, it's not unusual here in Brazil for gringo's to have fucked up experiences in Brazil....let's not go into that now as it's an entirely different issue in which I could write a book. Joe Sharkey witnessed first-hand, literally within minutes of landing the Legacy, that the american pilots were being blamed for the crash.....Not only had an investigation yet to begin but...the dead bodies had literally yet to stop twitching! Now come on Velhino, who in their right fucking mind does that? And this wasn't some blinded by patriotism, american hating, low-level asshole beaurocrat, no, it was the minister of defense for the entire fucking country! Mix that in with the numerous others, supposedly professional people, numerous politicians, that have been trying to railroad the american pilots for no other reason than simply 1. They were involved (doesn't matter if their actions or inactions contributed to the accident or not), and 2. They're foreigners(and even worse, Americans). I've witnessed this behavior here in Brazil firsthand, especially over the last 4-5 years. There are factions of brazilians that don't care to hear any of the facts, especially if those facts are going to be detrimental to the image of Brazil and/or Brazilians. They would much rather ignore them, refute them in the face of all evidence, testimony and logic, and allow a dangerous situation to continue to exist, and keep this crazy, irrational, so-called "brazilian pride" in check. Have you seen some of the responses this guy has gotten in his blog?? He's had death threats for god's sake! That's inexcusable! Maybe one day when Americans wake up out of their slumber, if they ever really start to pay attention to Brazil and the way Brazil has acted and reacted towards americans, the american gov't., and american policy, maybe we'll start to react in turn, I can only hope. Because I'd betcha some attitudes would start changing around here real fucking fast. - bo
