Live: Finnair flight 666 to HEL on Friday 13th at 13h

  • If you're also wondering about the error message: The flight is over already, it has successfully landed in Helsinki ;)

  • As someone living in Finland, seeing "Live: Finnair flight.." as the top post in HN gave me quite the scare. But luckily, we can consider this to be valid still: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/news/Worlds-safest-airline... !

  • In case anyone else is wondering what's going on, it's just about the "unlucky" numbers. I thought maybe the plane had caught fire or had some other sort of crisis.

  • Some cultures avoid "unlucky" numbers, especially if want to provide feeling of safety. For instance, Chinese will avoid the number 4 (especially level 4 in buildings or room numbers) since it sounds similar to the word for "death".

  • Heh.

    If this flight disappeared can you imagine the field day cable news and conspiracy theorists would have?

  • What's 13h?
