Speaker 1 (00:00):
Galien Emly Jade's double and nothing. We're going to play
in about twenty minutes time here at one tonight hot
Tomatow where you're in control of how much you win. No,
I'll walk away the eight hundred please the goals only
unlimited cash competition. How far your play is totally up
to you or how much you lose.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is blowing us away this morning. This story about
India Flight AI won seven to one. It's a Boeing
seven eight to seven eight Dreamliner, so it's a big plane.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Now.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
First of all, something that hasn't been well documented yet
is the fact that this plane was in Australia only
a couple of weeks ago, around June eighth, so it
flew from India and flew here, so it could have
happened here. I don't think there are any Australians on board.
So that's the news that people probably wanted to hear.

(00:49):
Most of us Indian one hundred and sixty nine Indians,
fifty three Brits, seven Portuguese and one Canadian two hundred
and forty two on board, and that included two hundred
and twenty nine passengers and twelve crew. At the moment,
two hundred and ninety four people have died, and that's
including the people that were on the ground where the

(01:09):
plane smashed. And that's only thus far one of there's
so many stories in this, but the biggest story is
there is one survivor. And that survivor I've seen footage
of him literally walking. He walked out of the plane crash.
He left and walked over other bodies that were on

(01:31):
the plane. Now, he spoke to his other brother on
the phone, and I believe that he was traveling with
a brother and he's worried about we need to find
aj his brother, which is really quite sad. I've seen
footage of him lying in the hospital looking shocked, of course.
But the big question now is amongst so many of

(01:56):
what happened on the plane and all of those things,
because we know when these things happen, the investigations it's
so massive and thorough. But everyone is asking how that
guy survived. Now, he was in eleven seat eleven A,
which I would imagine just from that news. Now, when
people are booking flights, they're automatically going to want to
sit in that aisle. Through superstition, people are going to

(02:18):
go seven. It's near an exit, a mid craft exit. Okay,
so it's not far so I'm saying it's probably near
a wing. Maybe I haven't seen that. Yeah, well I'm
not sure what normally would be. I guess it's just
eleven seats back from the front.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
It's interesting conversation, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
It's near an exit, I said.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, I you know, you aspire to sit at the
front of the plane right up in business or first,
but at the same time planes crash forward, I always
think it at the back.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah. I think there's some thing that came out that
said that's not also a good spot.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Why.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think it might be to do is even fuel
And I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I don't
think it's.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Isn't that what you want to talk about? Where do
you sit on the plane? And why? Well, just so
the middle sounds safer, but.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Usually the fuel is in the wings and the wings
in the middle.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
So if it's going to explode, okay, so yeah, where
do you go other than trying to flap your arms?

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Now it was on a window seat. Yes, he had
full view of the crash.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
So it is near the wing. As we got the
looking vision of it now, so we just like do
you call First of all, how are you feeling about
hearing this news? And this just discuss what that guy
must be feeling. He's an Indian man that's based in England,
so he's British based and they were visiting India, so

(03:45):
where would where First of all, do you sit on
the plane? Do you have a preferred seat or do
you just get whatever they give you? And also let's
just discuss something. I don't think we'll ever probably discuss
something like this again, because like this crashing with all
of those people passing and having one person not get

(04:06):
carried out on a stretcher, he walked out. This is
like a there's a there's actually a movie about it.
I think Jeff Bridges is in it really where he
survives a plane crash and it's all about survival, guilt
and all this other stuff. But then it goes a
little bit hay why. But this is I'm blown away
by it just listening every time I listen.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
To do you sit on a plane, do you have
any superstitions?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, I try and get gnosis superstition. I'll try and
get the extra leg room which is sometimes near the
wing in the middle where the exit.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Is eleven A On India, seven eight seven is an
emergency exit where the toilets are.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Well near the toilets. I wonder if the toilets save
you some strength or something within the toilets.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I mean, as we're talking, not a group of people
that were saved. We're talking one one person. Anyway, we're
just like, I think, as the whole world is it
right now? I just like flabbergasted. What's happened? Share your
thoughts and where do you sit on a plane? Give
us a call now.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Double five seven one one two, and we do still
have some tickets to tonight's Titan Seagulls.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Excellent game.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Give us a call and tell us what you think.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
I think my husband tries to keep me safe by
always sitting me with the kids, and then he sits
in a different spot.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
I don't think that's what he's doing is It's not safety,
that's survival of a different kind.
