hi, im acepilot32 and i was thinkin for a long time "what if the airbus380 was to crash?" well this what i thought would happen, the airbus380`s cost was set at about 3bill right?well if it crashed the aircraft would kill up to 600to 790 passengers and the ones that survived would have to be in the hospital and the medical bills will have to treat for burns trauma rehibilatation.so airbus would have to pay for all of the hospital bills and they would have to put up with all of law-suits so all of that could costs up to a lot of money and could posibaly put airbus out of buisness

so thats what i think would happen if it crash but i wanna hear the other peoples opinions.

thank you for your time, sincearly, acepilot32

p.s. if i have broken any rules i am very sorry and block this if i did break any rules.

Why would Airbus have to pay for the medical bills?! Actually it all depends on the cause of the crash; if it's a pilot error than Airbus has got nothing to do with it, but if it has to do with the technical flaw than it's the other way around. Any way you put it a lot of lives would be lost in case of a crash! Sad

not sure if its true but wathcing mythbusters one day they tested that little thing you do when your during a mayday etc. The mythbusters actually said what they tell you to do is actually a quick way to die which sounds wierd to me. They said its more expensive paying for their medical bills. Again this sounds wierd to me but I dont know.

If the Airbus 380 does crash, it will be a national tragedy. I don't think that over 500 people in one aircraft is a good idea. People are obsessed with bigger, faster and more efficient at the cost of common sense.

the FAA would let a plane roll off the assembly line if they knew it would crash or if it wasnt safe i should say.

but accidents happen either way its a risk we all take when we step foot on one.

As it goes I think the A-380 is a giant flying turd--THE ONLY WAY it will make money is by full bookings on every flight, and at a premium charge.

I have watched these things land and to me they are spooky--like a huge kite in a windstorm.
I flew powered parachutes for a short time-VERY SLOW, and the wind had its way with you--I think the large surface area, combimed with the sheer weight will at least result in a lot of tire failures/fires, and bent landing gear. I have seen these things crabbing in and then landing--fully loaded, I bet they would have some serious problems. There is also an issue of engine strike,there is a lot of mass in a fully loaded A-380--if they catch a crosswind-the sheer bulk will roll enough torsion in to scrape an engine on T/O or Landing

why people make a big deal with old posts Confused
We have reached our cruising altitude,I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land ... it's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern.
