    Thank God that the Captain & crew of this Boeing were professional and see the sensor alert on time.. otherwise if this huge plane was in the hands of a incompetent person like Captain ScumBăsescu we will be witnessing now at a major catastrophe, I mean by his vast stupidity it is able easily to fall down the plane without any problems on board… 🙁
