Well, I was up on the highest building in BKK just recently eating on the top floor mind you and yes I too saw a crack big enough for you to stick your finger inside towards the bottom of the wall and the floor.

Trust me folks if that biggie building ever falls, many will die in that area, since it is heavily populated.

I don't even want to think of the casualties that might be involved. It will most certainly be a repeat of the World Trade Center Towers .

This another of Daveyo's gems from another topic you must admit he is not wrong.
I bet you didn't know that if the tallest building in Bangkok fell over there would be many casualties till he told us did you?

Don't get disheartened Dave, keep 'em coming we really need people like you to keep us up to date on world affairs and the dangers all around us.

As to the design, yes, there are certain sections of the aircraft that is put there for security purposes of which the reasons for security I will not disclose.



I assume your refering to the doors Dave? Understood that your unable to confirm or deny that point. :o


As of the parts, yes there are parts on this aircraft that is very sensitive indeed, and damage to such can bring down that plane like a brick falling from the sky. I also will not disclose what parts is involved for security reasons.


I assume you mean the fuse box in this case but again understand for resons of security cannot discuss further. :D

My job pertains to your safety and to the safety of your families and friends alike. No more or less. Period.

Ah so thats why you have been drug tested for the last 3 years as part of your work permit application in another thread and you assumed all school teachers had to do the same.. Understood no need to say anything more - your secrets safe with me (us!!)

DaveYo will reply to all these posts that refer to him as less than a superhero, just as soon as he gets back from another top secret mission where he is saving the world.

Sleep easy.

But.....I was gonna book a flight in the near future.

AND now, (until Dave finally clears all this up) I gotta make sure that the plane will not be a 747.

Usually you only have to consider the cost, flight schedule and whether it's going where you want to go from where you want to go from.

I am a 747 & 777 mechanic and all of us are sworn to secrecy to the FAA and to the safety of the public

Make sure the airline you chose do not have any 777's on their fleet either as our Dave is let loose on these as well.

It's very worrying as Dave is sworn to secrecy he will be unable to tell us which airline he mends the planes for when they get broke, you see I am picking up the technical jargon now.

Relax guys. You can fly and be happy in the sky.

A. As to what parts, no comments (Its a secret)

B. As to Design modifications again no comment. (Its a secret)

C. As to the tallest building in Bangkok, a crack is a crack, so what does a person think concerning the building????? Say yummy, oh goody this building is going to fall and we will be in the World News Tonight?????

D. No, no no. When one supposingly now gets a work permit, they do the cleaners test on you for a positive or negative finding. If they find you positive, I would think they will Vacuum you up, and if negative, just dust you off. :D :D Hope this clears that up.

E. Ah, my 777's are indeed safe, and so is my 747's. Feel free to sleep like a baby and snooze it up till you get to your next destination. All clear and all is well so make sure you're buckled up provided you not see the bubble gum attached to it holding it!!!!!!!!

F. Now I must attend to my other secret projects that beckons my attention. Talk to you later!!!! :o

Fixing this and fixing that, oops forgot to put the bolt in the wrong place, oops, oh well forget it, since it stripped its threads, some Wrigleys chewing gum will do, so now what to do next on this confounded FMC.

Warning, after you get done reading this, some of you might get Paranoid. So please see the designated sign showing the directions to the head shrink for some peace of mind!!!!!!!! --------------------> and follow it judiciously.

Secret??

Crap, Balderdash, Bullsh1t.

On several occasions I have been asked to purchase detailed blueprints and manuals on various planes, 747, 777, Airbus etc. from a respected body in the UK. (OK, I'm keeping who and where quiet!!!)
I walked in, filled in an order form, paid by credit card and walked out with the info, which was required by my wife's uncle, the senior manager in charge of aircraft maintenance at Don Muang.
I was never asked for any identification, other than my credit card and no documents were ever refused on security or other reasons.
It's all in the public domain.

To P1P.

First off, why do you have to be the one purchasing detailed blueprints and manuals on various planes if such respected body is in the UK and if they are really legit they can get it over there in Great Britain????????????? Why are you getting such assignments via your wifes Uncle who is supposingly in charge of aircraft maintenance here at Don Muang, and you go to Don Muang in doing such activity???? Here you say you have done such activity on several other occasions.

Secondly yes the FAA knows full well that the security in Don Muang is extremely very poor. Try doing such again in American territory my friend and you wouldn't even get past the first doorway to such privy of information unless you have a valid ID and valid clearances for such information along with a valid employment for such activity.

So who are the people that you are helping in their efforts (along with your wifes Uncle) (from Great Britain) to side track the legit route by employing you to do some (possibly) dirty work on their behalf. How do you know these people are not part of a terrorist cell?????

Obviously the information you have supplied here you become a suspect and a possible danger to the public's safety.

Like it or not you are (and can become) an accessory to possiblity a crime being committed (either by you or your wifes Uncle or those people in UK) by circumventing airline and aircraft security at known airports.

Any comments from other members???

Yes, bless you for asking! :D

You poor man, is everyday a struggle? Do you vary your daily routine so as not to become an easy target? :o

In your wardrobe are there any clothes of a camoflage nature? or vests / trousers with lots of extra pockets? for storage of secret stuff?

My mate is an aircraft mechanic in Saudi and he never bloody shuts up about the amount of coke he's left in the engine block, long shifts, right?

Whoa Boy... Shure wish I knew what you were smoking. Must be the best cure for a hangover in existence. Just don't let my wife have any.

Now. Be a good boy and sit down and quietly and calmly read my post.
Where does it say or even imply I compromised security at Don Muang, any other airport, or anywhere else for that matter? It did not happen.

If you wish, I will give full details of what, when, why and how. But that would be sure to compromise your beloved security. Suffice it to repeat, "all blueprints and manuals etc. are in the public domain" and available over the counter from respected agencies in the UK, the USA and elsewhere. They are not cheap, but they are easy to purchase.

As someone who is sworn to secrecy Dave Yo is certainly verbose to say the least on here but perhaps he has dispensation from above to enlighten us as to the dangers of say an engine falling off mid flight.
Thanks Dave

Maerim

An engine falling off the wing is a good question. Yes it has happenned in the past. Reason ___> defective bolts. The manufacture of those bolts got sued and is now out of business. But don't worry on the 747, you still have 3 left. As of the 777, I leave that up to you. They only have two on the plane!!!!! :o

Also before in the past, some years back to simplify the names for you, the tail screws and the flap screws are now known to wear out much faster than anticipated, that was scheduled on the maintenance list for replacements, thus some planes took a dive and I think you know the rest. :D

Hope that helps

OK Dave things are about as clear as mud now thanks.

You mean to tell me they don't carry a spare, well I never.

From what I can gather then the problem with two engined aircraft as opposed to four engined ones is that if one engine falls off due to defective nuts and bolts it will fly in a circle.

Is this correct?

Davey boy, you sure have a rocket up your ass, don't you. I suggest a quiet lie down, some soothing music and maybe an ovaltine to wash down a valium or two. You might then feel a bit better.
Now, as regards "why me?" Would you believe it was simply because of expediency. (Sorry, long word, means it was easier for them.)

Now Dave. Have you taken your valium, got your Ovaltine. Now, please re-read my posts and try to work out where Don Muang security could have been breached. I did not go there, so it was not by me.
Now, be a good boy and leave off the nasty chemicals.

So where do the cockroaches hide? Was wondering about this on my most recent long-haul flight- there surely must be bugs and possibly even larger vermin roaming around in the nooks and crannies of big aircraft.

Dont worry Crash, unless the vermin have been FAA cleared they do not have access to the blueprints and thus dont know which wire to chew through in order to cause a fatal crash.

Out of interest, I just did a quick search on Yahoo for the 747. Well there were 164,000 sites listed, and on flicking through some of the more technical orientated ones, it's possible to find out what type of hydraulic fittings are used throught to detailed engine specifications, but Shhhhhhh don't tell everybody :o

Generally only military aircraft would be covered by such secrecy and even some of their parts have been taken from the civil field because of cost. The fact that the B747-200 was damaged at a Military Airfield seems incredible?

Who has to gain and who has to lose ?

From being mostly monopolised the Thai Airline industry appears to now have opened its doors to deregulation.

When I was involved with some of the Hadj contracts many years ago our Company Boeing 707's suffered from bad driving from airport support vehicles.
This happened in Kano in Nigeria and I remember receiving a telex(no e-mails then) that one of our B707's had been damaged(on purpose) by a ground truck.
"Please send speed tape and pop-rivets we are going to make a repair!"


Nigeria has always been a bit 'crooked Third-World' and this is the first time I have heard of such a thing in a country like Thailand?

How did the culprits get on to a secure area on a military airfield. = Inside collusion?
To effect the damage described at least one of them must have spent time as an aircraft engineer. Surely it would not be too difficult to investigate the list of licences? Unless of course a Foreign National(s) was used which is likely.

I think an odour comes from this incident that resembles the smell inside those old B707's after they had finished the Hadj contract(The cleaners at the UK airfield refused to clean them they were so bad as the pilgrims had no idea what a toilet was and anywhere would do seemed to be their motto!)

Another Thai crime where the culprits are not found or get off ?

I can't understand this thread as all that was said/divulged about the aircraft was the fact that the engines and cockpit were damaged, surely an apprentice terrorist would know this much! I would adopt the same logic if I was to vandalise someone's car!

Or maybe it was the statement "The intruders sneaked into the jetliners through the maintenance foxholes on the aircraft's fuselage, an entrance known only to aviation experts, to carry out the act last Sunday"
I wouldn't have a fox myself as to the whereabouts of these holes!

Have I missed something?

Another thought, although no aviation expert myself, I would presume that if a 747 was to loose one of it's engines (God forbid), then apart from the obvious fuel leaks etc. the aircraft would become unbalanced, and totally uncontrollable.
Its great to be reassured by professionals, thanks.
