Air Transat=deathtrap - Dilly_sAm - 04-25-2005
A few months ago a piece of the tail of one of these planes fell off during take-off from Varadero, Cuba, and now this. My advice: don't get on an Air Transat A310 and if you live near an airport....move.

ST. JOHN'S - An airplane developed a crack in a windshield while it was halfway across the Atlantic, forcing it to make an emergency landing in St. John's.
About 360 passengers were stranded in the city after the Air Transat Airbus landed Monday.
The flight was on its way to Paris from Montreal when a windshield developed a small crack.
The damaged plane underwent temporary repairs in Newfoundland and flew out later in the afternoon without any passengers.
The passengers were to fly out in the evening on two jets sent from Montreal.

I hate airplanes :x Ive only flown once (to England) and I didnt enjoy it at all, not my cup of tea. Id sooner avoid flying anywhere if I can, Im happy right here on Canadian soil, but I really would like to travel again.
