	Singapore Airlines Flight 006 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Singapore protested that the report did not present a full account of the incident and was incomplete as responsibility for the accident appeared to have been placed mainly on the flight crew of SQ006 while other equally valid contributing factors have been played down.
		The Singapore team felt that these two factors were given less weight than was proper as another flight crew had almost made the same mistake of using Runway 05R to take off just eight days before the accident.
		Singapore Airlines (SIA) also issued a statement after the release of the ASC report.

		The Singapore Airlines Flight 006 disaster raises several of the same legal issues the firm faced in the pending Korean Airlines Flight 801 litigation, arising out of the 1997 crash of a KAL Boeing 747 in Guam.
		Singapore Airlines signed those agreements and entered a formal tariff adopting the IATA scheme with the U.S. Department of Transportation in August 1998.
		As a result, Singapore Airlines waived the damage limitation of the Warsaw Convention and is liable for full compensatory damages for passenger death or injury in an accident, unless it shows that it took "all necessary measures" to avert the harm.

		As can be seen by the recent crash of Singapore Airlines Flight 006, no matter how safe airline travel has become, there are occasional accidents which tragically alter the lives of innocent passengers and their families.
		Thus, unless the airline can prove it was not negligent, or that others caused the accident, its liability is not limited as it previously was under the Warsaw Convention.
		It is not unusual to see this done soon after the accident and before those affected have had sufficient time to know the full nature and extent of their injuries, or for the families of those who died to appropriately mourn for their loved ones.

		Singapore Airlines actively cultivates and promotes the image of the 'Singapore Girl' in its advertising, and aggressively recruits young women who fit the bill, though they do not have to be Singaporean.
		On 26 March 1991, Singapore Airlines Flight 117, piloted by Captain Stanley Lim on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, was hijacked in mid-flight by four Pakistanis, led by Zahid Hussain Soomro, who demanded that the plane be flown to Sydney.
		Singapore Airlines is considered a trend-setter in aviation passenger service, and made a name for itself early in its infancy when it was the first airline to offer complimentary headsets and free drinks.

	Getforme Singapore SINGAPORE AIRLINES' SQ006 CRASH AT CHIANG KAI SHEK AIRPORT 31 Oct 2000
		Taipei: Singapore officials are unhappy that they were excluded from discussions when Taiwanese investigators analysed the facts collected in preparing the report on the October 2000 crash of Singapore Airlines Flight SQ 006.
		Singapore Airlines has appointed one of the largest Taiwanese law firms to act for the three pilots of flight SQ006 and to defend them if crash-related charges are brought against them, said Mr YEO Cheow Tong, Minister for Communications and Information Technology on 19 Nov 2000.
		Singapore said its officials would "leave no stone unturned" to find out what caused the SQ006 accident, shortly after crash investigators in Taiwan announced conclusively that the pilot made a mistake and was on the wrong runway when he tried to take off.

		"Singapore will be judged by how open we are about how the accident happened, how much we learn from it, and what systems we put in place so as not to repeat," the government said in a statement.

		Now that it is clear that the tragic crash of SQ flight 006 at Taipei airport was caused by the captain’s attempting to takeoff on a runway that was closed, dark and under construction, the question is:
		The wrong runway (05R), where SQ 006 crashed, should have had only green centerline lights turned on, indicating to all pilots it was being used solely as a taxiway, not a runway.
		The flight papers, that provided all the necessary information to plan and conduct that flight, included the notification to airmen that runway 05R was closed for construction work and that only a portion of it could be used for taxi purposes.

		Seventy-nine of the flight's 179 passengers and crew died on impact, including most of those who, like the American who joked with Pan, were sitting in the middle section of the jet.
		Passengers seated in the mid-section of the plane were doomed by their position: the fuel stored in the wings exploded soon after impact, sending a ball of flame through that part of the cabin, front to back, that killed most of the section's passengers where they sat.
		There was initial speculation that Flight 006 might have been downed by wind shear, a phenomenon where wind direction shifts so violently that the aircraft loses lift and drops like a stone, as rapidly as 1,000 m a second.

		As Singapore Airlines Flight 006 made the sharp turn onto the runway at Taipei's Chiang Kai-shek International Airport in the middle of a punishing storm on Oct. 31, John Diaz settled comfortably into his first-class seat in the Boeing 747, ready for takeoff.
		But Flight 006 had turned onto the wrong runway, and suddenly Diaz and the 178 other people on board slammed to earth as the 747 erupted into a giant, terrifying fireball, breaking into three large jagged pieces.
		Flight 006 ended its last journey 8,000 ft. from where it began, a burning, cracked hulk and the charred tombstone of 81 souls.

		The flight crew lost situational awareness and commenced takeoff from the wrong runway.

		I have flown Singapore Airlines pretty frequently on a wide variety of its routes ever since the late 80s when SIA was still operating B757s and A300s on its short-haul services.
		Singapore Airlines has, over the years, matured into a premium carrier with unsurpassed levels of in-flight service complemented with its youthful fleet of sophisticated MEGATOP B747-400s, JUBILEE B777s and CELESTAR A340s.
		I do know of airline cabin-crew who literally disappear as soon as the meal service is over and I am pleased to know that SIA crew really go all out to serve with such fervour.

		The problem with the Singapore Airlines flight is that it was taking off from a country that had not signed the Warsaw Convention, Taiwan.

To underscore this statement, Singapore Airlines turned over its entire Web site to updates about the accident.
		But in a very unusual way, the personal misfortune that was being assimilated by the citizenry during my brief stay in Singapore gave me an appreciation for the culture that I might not have otherwise gained.

		Lacking CVRs and flight data recorders to work with in such investigations, these investigators become very good at "reading wreckage and remains." Capt. Gunther said he can tell, from a fairly quick look at the wreckage and body parts, the attitude of the airplane and the flight path at the time of impact.
		Asked if the investigator should advise surviving flight crew members to write down their recollections while waiting for the attorney, Johnson answered no, because the notes would be "discoverable"—i.e., legally required to be handed over to investigators or attorneys.
		Two more cases are pending: (1) Singapore Airlines Flight 006, which took off on a closed runway at Taipei, and (2) a Falcon 900 operated by Olympia Airways pilots in Greece, which went into severe pitch oscillations after the pilots made trim inputs without turning off the autopilot; government officials in the cabin were killed.
