It could have been a brand-new, flawless 717 with 500 flight hours piloted by a seasoned crew. That fire was caused by oxygen canisters illegally placed in the cargo hold by a cargo company that broke the law, not ValueJet. ValueJet couldn't have done anything, short of opening every single package placed onboard their aircraft. -- "You fanatical BASTARDS AND BITCHES do not own the INTERNET." -Bruce Kettler http://www.watchingyou.com
