Unknown August 2002<TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgcolor="#ffffff"> <P>August 2002 <p>I’m watching aircraft movements at a busy airport. Nothing that exciting is happening. I don’t think I am flying at any point in the day, just watching the aircraft. <p>However when a DC-10 belonging to China North Eastern Airlines (I don’t know if any such airline has ever existed.) took off from the runway we were watching. (I don’t know who ‘we’ is, by the way). I became concerned that the aircraft was in trouble and that it may crash as it wasn’t pulling up enough. No one else seemed concerned. <p>Sure enough however the plane did fail to pull up and went into the side of a tall-ish building. Initially I felt a stream of 'I told you so' in me but this gave way to feeling pretty emotionless again. <p>I ambled around the spectators area for a while before heading off. I heard the news reports of the accident a little while later and many people were saying how the jet looked like it was having trouble on the runway. </BODY> </HTML>
