Two weeks ago, the same plane was used to fly the Argentine national team with Lionel Messi on board to San Juan, Argentina for a World Cup qualifying match.

The BAE-146 is an old design, but it's never been a dangerous type. Lots of them flew for regional carriers in the U.S. during the 80's and 90's, and are still flown all over Europe, with no issues.

maintenance pig, my company bought a company that had a few of them, couldn't get rid of them fast enough, a mechanic described it as a series of oil leaks connected by four engines

Any vehicle designed in the UK is gonna leak oil. It is a maintenance pig.

It's We Are Marshall mixed with Alive. Inspiring but ghoulish.
