    How Shocking- China Air Jet Explodes

    165 safe after plane explodes in Japan - Yahoo! News

    Call it "Jack's lack of surprise".

    China Air is shockingly bad. I took a flight with them inside China. I have never been so worried for my safety on a plane as that short flight. Abysmal experience.

    I told my boss I'd quit before I flew them again. People were still walking to their seats when we were wheels up.

    I wonder when was the last time that plane had maintenance(ever?).

    Going by the pictures, it's amazing that everyone got off ok.

    I guess the emergency ramps were the only thing that wasn't worn out . . .

    It mentions it in the article actually, 1998.

    See:

    (China) Airlines started flying the 737-800 in 1998, about four years after Boeing won its first order for the plane.

    I'm sure you've seen the maintenance, fabrication and other other procedures in China (and Korea), LTL. I was completely not taken aback when they said it was a China Air flight.

    I'm actually surprised that all their planes haven't spontaneously combusted.

    UNREAL but wonder how well ours are taken care of as well? Only planes I ever trusted were the ones we worked on.

    Seems like China is getting a lot of bad press lately, toys, dog food and, now this.

    Imagine the stuff that doesn't make the headlines.
