Come on guys, mac users are like a church or a secte now.

So stop saying stupid things like “oh my mac book air crash from 10 000 feet” . No laptops will survive from 10 000 feet.

So stay in the real life. The plane was landing when it crashed.

Now, if you go to laptops, i mean laptops who everybody uses in this world, thinkpads from Lenovo/IBM can survive from a lot of real crash tests, for example.

According to Turkish airlines statement, the initial payments that are available immediately would be 50,000 Euro for the families of those killed in the crash. Payments of 10,000 Euro were set for those who were hospitalised for more than three days and 5,000 Euro to all other surviving passengers.

jesus christ typical apple freaks…nine people died but at least the mac survived.

heres a thought lads the computer survived cos of the position it was in or where it was stored when the crash happened. its pure chance that it survived if the computer ran windows or linux or was made by ibm or hp it doesnt matter it would of survived too.

its ridiculous to say that it survived cos its a mac seriously get over the apple obsession and put it back in your pants

Too bad the whole plane wasn’t made by Apple. If it was, I’m sure it wouldn’t have even crashed. Still, the thought of a machine like the Air surviving after such an accident is amazing — it’s so thin to begin with!

Good wishes to those involved or had loved ones in the crash.

Interesting!

I was flying home the other day and QANTAS managed to bash in the corner of my MBP. The optical drive is stuffed (although it’s still working – I’m on it now). I’m pretty confident they’re gonna try to claim no liability because it’s a ‘fragile good’ but clearly, Macs ARE NOT fragile (listening QANTAS?)!

The damn thing was in ‘premium hand luggage’ which sounds like it would involve a degree of care, but I’m pretty sure it was dropped from a significant height. By the way, if anyone can get me technical data on what it takes to bash in the corner of a 2007 MBP (which you would think is a structural strong point) can they help me out? I’m trying to compile as much evidence as possible for my claim.

“Hmm… from certain angles, it still looks OK, kind of like Paris Hilton.”

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH I laughed so much for this
You made my day again Doc

P.S: I’m Turkish too……if anybody even cares about it……..which I don’t think anyone does.
P.P.S: Yes, the crash is tragic, I only laughed at what Doc said about the MacBook, please do not flame me with comments saying that ‘I’m rude’ or something like that….

Flying is easy; it’s landing that’s hard.

Personally, I’d have thought something named MacBook Air would have landed a liitle more gracefully.
