These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-03-11,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Cellar Rats and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 6, Round 7 - Science - Aviation Accidents/Incidents
1. The worst aircraft accident happened in 1977 at Tenerife in
the Canary Is., when one jumbo jet taking off from the island's
main airport collided with another one taxiing along the runway,
resulting in 583 deaths. Name *either one of the two airlines*
involved.
2. In 1958 an aircraft crashed on takeoff from Munich Airport.
Several players and staff of *which well-known soccer team*
were killed?
3. In January 2008, a British Airways jet crashed just short of the
runway at Heathrow Airport after a non-stop flight from Beijing.
A number of passengers sustained injuries, but no one died.
The investigation revealed that ice crystals had formed in the
fuel during the flight, and on final approach they had blocked
its flow to the engines. What *model of aircraft* was involved?
4. In 2001 a flight from Toronto to Lisbon, Portugal, ran out of
fuel due to a leak. The pilots managed to successfully glide the
aircraft to a runway in the Azores archipelago in the Atlantic,
and again, no one died. Name the *airline* involved.
5. In 2009 Continental Connection flight 3407, operated by Colgan
Air, crashed while preparing to land, with the deaths of all on
board and one more victim on the ground. Investigation blamed
pilot error for the crash, but contributory factors were pilot
inexperience, fatigue, and low pay. The plane was supposed to
land at the airport for *what US city*?
6. In 1976 an Air France plane was hijacked by Palestinian
extremists en route from Tel Aviv, Israel, to Paris. While some
of the passengers and crew were released, many more continued
to be held hostage until Israeli commandos successfully rescued
almost all of them -- at the airport at *what city*?
7. In 1994 Aeroflot flight 593 crashed over Russia with the loss
of all on board. Flight investigation revealed that the accident
happened after a series of mishaps after one of the pilots had
let his son sit at the controls during flight. What was the
flight's *destination*?
8. Avianca flight 52 crashed on Long Island, New York, in 1990
with approximately half of the passengers and crew perishing
in the crash. The aircraft crashed as a result of running out
of fuel. *From what country* did Avianca 52 originate?
9. In 2005 Air France flight 358 overshot the runway when attempting
to land. Although everyone survived the accident, it was the
first major accident to an Airbus A340 in its 14-year history.
It happened at the airport for *what city*?
10. While attempting to land at Toronto International Airport,
the pilot of Air Canada flight 621 prematurely deployed the
spoilers, leading to the DC-8 aircraft crashing near the airport.
All passengers and crew perished. *Within 1 year, when* did this
accident take place?
* Game 6, Round 8 - Entertainment - Movie Villains
We give you a catchphrase spoken by a villain or anti-hero, and you
give us the name of *either* the character or the actor.
1. "Why so serious?"
2. "I never drink... wine."
3. "No wire hangers... ever!"
4. "I... drink... your... milkshake."
5. "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"
6. "A boy's best friend is his mother."
7. "I'm having an old friend for dinner."
8. "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right.
Greed works."
9. "Your mother's in here, Karras. Would you like to leave
a message? I'll see that she gets it."
10. "Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will,
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is
truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers."

KLM, Pan American. 4 for Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, and Pete.
Of course this is only the second-worst aviation disaster ever,
but the worst one was not an accident.

Manchester United. 4 for Calvin and Pete.

Boeing 777. 4 for Erland. 2 for Calvin.
Fuel contamination with a small amount of water is common enough
that the engines were provided with a heater that was supposed to
prevent this sort of blockage. But with this model the one thing
it did not heat was its own intake surface; and, in the specific
circumstances of this flight, that was where the blockage formed.

Heath Ledger as the Joker. ("The Dark Knight" (2008).) 4 for

Gert Frobe as Auric Goldfinger. ("Goldfinger" (1964).) 4 for

This was the first of two questions this season about this line.
The other one was on the audio round in Game 8, two weeks later,
where clips from James Bond movies were played. In Game 8 what we
had to name was the movie, but the answer "Goldfinger" was of course
correct for both versions of the question.

I went looking for a clip of this scene online, but couldn't find one. But
Mercedes McCambridge dubbed the demonic voice for the film; am I wrong in

answer. Had they asked about the name of the airport, I would of course
have answered Entebbe. But thinking that was only the name of the airport,
I felt compelled to answer with the main city served by the airport, even
if the answer felt akward.
Looking things up, I see that Entebbe is a city of its own, but it's appears
to be part of greater Kampala, and I find it difficult to believe that
the airport is there mainly for the benefit of Entebbe itself.

name of the airport there, and for some reason I decided that instead
of looking it up -- in fact it's Entebbe International -- that I'd
just change the wording to ask for the city, as I had done in one or
two other questions.
But I also didn't realize that it was a separate city *near Kampala*
and that Entebbe International is the main airport for Kampala.
So, 4 for Erland also.
