  2. I think the desert ride is very dangerous and they should test the plane properly before flying it

  3. Maybe if the trip was to go to Japan , they would not have such mishap .So unfortunate for the people who were involved in the accident . I think they should not use the plane as it has too many problems . What if it cause people to be involved in an accident ?

  4. I think travelling in the desert is very dangerous. Maybe this article will discourage people from going to far away places on a plane for a holiday and only on important things such as going on a business trip.

  5. I think that they should check the aircraft before ascending. By doing this, not only that they can prevent engine problems from occurring when the plane has already taken off, they can also take those fear off the passengers.

    I think that if the trip started ealier it would not have affected the palne and the passengers on board. They can have a smooth flight that they can enjoy. A-380 seems to be "infected" with a "aircraft disease" (no offence because it is "plague" with problems).

  7. Marriane your article is not very clear but i can understand a little about the article through bits of information. I think they should check the engine for malfunction or problems. By doing so they will be a safe flight through out.
    Jacques, your article is quite good and i can actually understand what the article is about and riding in the desert is very dangerous as there are many high slopes

  8. I hope that people would be more careful in the future as the desert is a very dangerous place. I feel that the planes in the airport should be checked regularly. Especially the A-380 that has been plagued with problems more than once.

  9. Wow. Airbus (yes, it's an Airbus) really needs to beef up plane security if it wants to continue supplying to carriers.

  10. Marianne, your article is not that clear but bits and pieces of your article helps me to construct the story so without reading the article i understand the story. I believe that the aircraft will be hardly used now that more people know about the "cursed plane".
    Jacques, your article is systematic and is well-structured. most of the details are captured so the people who see this mindmap will know roughly about the article.

  11. Marianne, you should make the points more clear like when the different misfunctions happened,like which year and months as they did not happened in the same date.

  12. I think they should check the "bus" before actually letting it go on the trip. I pity those that got their belongings stolen. The Singaporeans that were on that trip were unlucky. Next time, the company should be more careful. Ahmad

  13. I think that travelling by plane to faraway places is very dangerous as you will not know what will happen during the flight. I think that the planes should be checked regularly as to prevent these accidents from occuring.

  14. I hope that the aircraft would not break down again.If it break down and had landed on the deser, it would be hard for people to searched for it. They should either dismissed the plane or repair it until it is undestroyable.

  15. Luckily for me I do not travel often. If I were in the plane and this would have happened to me, I would treat this as a lesson it as this can teach me to treasure every moment we have with our family members.

  17. I think that the plane sould be checked before ascending to prevent any engine problems. Some people may need to arrive there but due to engine problems, they need to be transferred to another plane and at a later time.

  18. It become scary whenever I heard about aircraft.I think they must check everything is alright before ascending.However,they are lucky even though they have some engine problems and so on they were returned to the place where they take off.

  19. Whao, if its a theft, the mastermind must be very smart, cunning and well informed and very cruel because he injured both middle-aged and old people. It should be an unexpected accident as they wanted to avoid trouble by not going to japan.

    P.P.S. Why is it so hard to post?

  20. Matthias,
    I feel that the A-380 should be removed so as to prevent any more problems.

  21. It is highly possible that a theft was done .The mastermind could have usen the accident as a cover-up for the theft.

    I think that SIA should conduct more regular checks on their fleet of planes.
    The singaporeans are all right now, but they might have a positive or negative impression of Australia and they might even have a phobia of driving cars.

  23. I hope that when the driver reverse, he/she will look out for slopes, preventing the tour bus to flip over. If there is a switch of places, i think that they should change it to Korea or Europe but not Australia as the UV rays there are very harmful to our skin.

  24. I think the thief is not entirely responsible for the case because if the Singaporeans had taken care their belongings, the thief wouldn't have the chance to steal.After reading, I think that riding a tour bus on a desert is very very dangerous.
    SIA should check the plane,A-380, more often as it had accidents before. If I were one of the passengers, I wouldn't take the same model of plane again.

  25. Wen Xuan,
    I think that the Singapore Airlines should not even use the A-380 planes.It would be a disaster if engine problems occur again.To prevent that from happening,the Singapore Airlines should just try to repair it or just not to use it again.

  26. Though the thief was in wrong for stealing things, but the singaporeans are partly to be blame. They should have be more careful of taking care of their own belongings by placing a lock or...

  27. I really pity the people who had died in the accident and hope that the people check who is behind before they reverse and ascend and i too hope that the people be more careful next time.

  28. Even if the Singapore Airline's authorities did check the engines before departure, unexpected accidents may occur. Thus, instead of just advising the authorities to do more of a thorough check before departure, I hope passengers will be mentally prepared before boarding an airplane or embarking on any trips regarding anything.

  29. Even if the Singapore Airlines authorities check the engine, accident is unexpected and might happen.

  30. Leona, did anyone die in the two incidents?

  31. I think that if SIA checks the engines before departing, the chance of an accident will be lower than not checking. Although the passengers are all right now, they might have a bad impression of Austarlia.

  32. I really pity the people who had died in the accident and I hope that the people be more careful next time.They should either dismissed the plane or repair it until it is not that fragile to avoid accidents.After the disaster, They might have a bad impression..

  33. I think that the SIA should do more Engine checks in order to make sure the safety of the passengers. Further more, I think that the SIA should ground the fleets of A-380s as it endangers its passengers life with an uncertain engine.

  34. When the first engine problem occured, the manufacturer of A380 should have taken the issue seriously and perform a thorough investigation before re-allowing the plane to fly again.
    On the other hand, the airplane crew have handled the problems well during the flight which have prevented more diaster to happen.
    This is a valuable lesson for the airplane crew.

  35. I felt that the other county's airlines should learn from this series of incidents and so they have to check thoughly of the plane before letting passengers up the plane.

  36. In my opinion,the plane should be checked and confirmed to be safe before taking off.people would have a bad impression on us and not board that aircraft again.i also think that SIA should have checked the plane after the first incident- engine malfunction. SIA should really be more aware of this problem.
