I saw duplicate names on the manifest. Don't know if this is normal.
surnames
I don't have it front of me. Saw it last night. I remember a woman's name being printed twice. I don't know if that was a mistake or if she bought two seats.
the movie aint over
English oak doesn't grow in PR?!!!
Does Boeing have to have the black-box, or does the data also get transmitted in real time?

The bitch needs to enjoy life now, while she can.
When the Malaysian flight went down in the ocean, they were talking about real time black-box transmissions. But that was a much bigger plane I am sure.
Was there a P-wave?
Why isn't black-box data wireless?
Wireless Black Boxes
by Peter Tyson
With data from flight and cockpit recorders sometimes lost or irretrievable following a crash, should airlines begin transmitting such data in real time to ground stations?
After I watched a rough cut of "Crash of Flight 111" here at the NOVA offices, a colleague who watched it with me asked, "Why don't they just beam black-box data in real time to ground stations via satellite?" She was responding to another colleague's remark about how unfortunate it was that, as mentioned in the program, the flight data and cockpit voice recorders on Swissair Flight 111 had ceased recording roughly six minutes before the accident.
The New York-to-Geneva flight had mysteriously plunged into the ocean off Nova Scotia on the night of September 2, 1998, killing all 229 people aboard. The black boxes could have provided valuable clues as to the cause of the crash. But without their data on the final minutes of the flight, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada undertook what became a four-and-a-half-year, $39-million investigation to try to determine the cause by other means.
Neither I nor anyone else in the room that day had an answer to my colleague's question. So I decided to look into it. After talking to experts at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) as well as in the academic and private sectors, I got my answer: They're working on it, with intriguing possibilities not just for black-box data transmission but also for better troubleshooting during emergencies, improved airline efficiency and maintenance, even telemedicine. But it's easier said than done.
Why do it?
The advantages to having continuous, real-time transmission of flight and cockpit information are many. First, in the case of a crash, black-box data would be available to investigators immediately. They wouldn't have to wait for the recorders to be dug out of the ground or fished from the seafloor. This has important implications in our age of terrorism. Authorities need to know quickly whether a crash was terrorist-related; suspect trails grow faint with each passing hour, much less the days or weeks it can take to recover black boxes and analyze their recordings.
And when black-box recordings are lost, as was the case with the two planes that struck the World Trade Center, downloaded data may be the only data. (I should note here that if Swissair Flight 111 had had a real-time data link, it would have quit operating at the same moment as its flight and cockpit recorders. Like black boxes, data-link systems would rely on a plane's electrical power, which the Flight 111 pilots shut off during their attempt to isolate and fight the fire that eventually brought the plane down.)
A robust data link would also mean a lot more information than just black-box data could flow, and it could flow both ways. As it is now, aircraft, particularly when flying over oceans, are often incommunicado for long periods. "Next to a remote desert island, it's about the only place you can hide and be out of touch," one aviation expert told me. With a broadband communications link, people in the air and on the ground could be in constant, detailed contact.
This would have clear benefits, most significantly the ability to cope with emergencies. If air-traffic controllers clearing aircraft for takeoff could glean pilot intent from incoming data, for example, they could reduce runway incursions, a leading cause of aircraft mishaps. "If you're polling this data every second, and you see that a pilot who hasn't been cleared is powering up and taking his foot off the brake, you know he's going to move," says Jay Brown, a computer scientist at the FAA Tech Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey. "With airplanes, it takes two or three seconds to get them to move, so you could potentially stop a runway incursion."
During a technical emergency, pilots could get critical advice from engineers and other experts on the ground, who would have real-time knowledge of that plane's engine conditions, flight-control positions, and other essential data at their fingertips. During a hijacking, air controllers, government authorities, and other key personnel could make more effective decisions, even warn possible targets. Had controllers been able to detect instantly the flight-path changes and other burgeoning anomalies on the 9/11 planes, perhaps something could have been done, at the least, to lessen the loss of life on that tragic day. Flight attendants could even better tend to mid-flight medical crises. Sensors attached to a patient, for instance, could give ground-based doctors vital signs and other measurements upon which to base potentially life-saving decisions.
