Accident Spanair


This summer I travel to Ibiza's airoport because I went to Formentera. I wasn´t afraid, but the turn had a few turbulences. One month after, on August 20, 2008 Spanair Flight JK 5022, from Barajas airport in Madrid to Gran Canaria airport, crashed just afer take off from runway of Barajas airoport at 14:45.
It is the world´s worst aviation accident in 2008 an Spanair´s worst in 25 years because 154 people died.
Sources initially reported as few as 2 to 45 deaths; however as the incident unfolded, the emergency rescue only 18 survivors.
Spanish newspapers have reported that the left engine was discovered in the wreckage with its reverse thurst, used to slow down the plane during landing, activated.
They said the pilot may had put the engine in reverse in an effort to abort the take off because he noticed the plane lacked the power to get off the ground.
Several of the suvivors said the plane appeared to lack the necessary power on the runway.


Days later my friend Elisa traveled from trip to Sicily in an airplane Spanair´s Company, I was scared a little but soon I thought that it´s not necesary to be scared to fly in airplane because by probability it´s less dangerous. I like to travel and to know new sites, so I will travel in airplane the next time.
