☉ EVA air accidents/incidents/news
(1) March 25, 2012 ― Taiwan's CTV evening news (about 7:06pm 3/25/2012) reported that an EVA air from Taiwan to Shanghai returned for suspected abnormal cabin-pressure 30 minutes after taking off, this scared 357 passengers. Some passengers told CTV that they don't believe EVA's explanation ― it's because pilot pushed a wrong button. Apple Daily News(3/26/2012)reported EVA air BR-702 found some abnormal cabin-pressure signals, so dropped all Oxygen masks ( this made 364 passengers scary ), then safely returned Taiwan.
(2) Jan. 30, 2012 ― An EVA air (BR712, TaoYuan, Taiwan to Shanghai, China) was hit by a jetway (passenger bridge) in Taiwan's Taoyuan int'l airport.
(3) July 24, 2011 ―
An EVA air (BR807, MD-90, Taiwan, TaoYuan to Macau) engine smoked but don't let passengers
escape immediately, ( according to CTV evening news about 7:08pm ) CTI evening
news reported 15 passengers wounded, every passenger got NT200 (about USD6).
Apple Daily (7.25) reported every one got NT2200.
ps: It's an EVA's UNI air, but as far as I remember for
many years EVA air flies Macau, Hong Kong and int'l countries, UNI air
(low end of EVA air) was
for local trip.
(4) Dec. 30, 2010 ― An EVA air ( A330-200 BR-61, Bangkok to Vienna ) made a forced landing in Ukraine for abnormal cabin pressure. ( the Liberty Times 4/21/2012: Air Bus 330's design problem )
(5) On 9:50pm Sept. 2, 2010, an EVA air (BR701 Boeing 747-400) with 284 passengers had 3 tires blow-out ( flat-tires ) while landing Taiwan.
(6) On May 9, 2010, an EVA air A330-200 hit a jet-way in Taiwan's international airport, caused equipment's damage, no one wounded.
(7) an EVA airplane (BR 255) from Taipei, Taiwan to Indonesia on June 2008 encountered clear-air turbulence , suddenly went up 300 feet, then down 500-600 feet, passengers screamed and cried, Juice and wine made a mess of all passengers' dress, the cabin is in chaos.
The caption (pic. below) of <Apple Daily> (most popular news in Taiwan) at June 6, 2008 stated "Passengers encountered turbulence and got hurt, criticizing EVA air's carelessness "
(8) At April 15, 2008, an EVA air got an accident.
The caption below in <the China Times>(reported 4.17. 2008) is: "EVA air got flat-tire", " landing gear up too early, the probability of human's fault is big"
(9) Feb. 23, 2008: An EVA air (Boeing 747-400) from Taiwan to Bangkok smoked at left side of seat 64A/65A after landing. The reason is EVA did not exactly follow Boeing's warning notice about its cable installation may lead to problems at that time, and did not clean floor-rug well. (refer to the Liberty Times)
