   Contrary to what most of the non-technical idiots in FAA   
   management think, facilities are important for Air Safety   
      
   Systems to check for a dangerous weather condition were   
   faulty at the time of Sunday's devastating air crash at   
   Phuket airport, Thai officials say. Some of the airport's   
   wind shear alert systems were not working properly, said   
   aviation official Vutichai Singhamany. Investigators have   
   said wind shear - a sudden change in either wind speed or   
   direction - was among the possible causes of the crash.   
      
   Officials in Phuket are still working to identify the   
   victims of the crash.At least 89 people were killed when the   
   plane, operated by budget airline One-Two-Go, skidded off   
   the runway.Many foreigners were on the flight.
