747 Breaks in half during takeoff
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,358041,00.html
 ONLY 4 injured. "Airport officials said the plane was carrying cargo weighing 76 tons, over half of which was diplomatic mail. Other cargo included a car and batteries." Diplomatic mail. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Connie's supposed to be a cheap SOB. Lack of maintenance? Maybe he's trying to save up to beat Schumacher?

If I'm not mistaken, Kalitta Air is who Normy used to fly for prior to his current FedEx gig - should be interesting to hear his thoughts on this one. . .

Main runway at Brussels is almost 12,000 feet long, so they had lots of room to get to takeoff speed then abort "if everything was working ok" that is...

Just give it to Nostatus's old man and he will have it flying again by tommorow. A little duct tape and bailing wire ought to do the trick. works all the time for the R Gruppe.

Connie Kalitta is rather infamous in our biz. The cheapest, most crass S.O.B. we have to deal with from our service engineering department. Flies the most crapped out old P.O.S's in the air.
