Live: Finnair flight 666 to HEL on Friday 13th at 13h

If you're also wondering about the error message: The flight is over already, it has successfully landed in Helsinki ;)

As someone living in Finland, seeing &quot;Live: Finnair flight..&quot; as the top post in HN gave me quite the scare. But luckily, we can consider this to be valid still: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.telegraph.co.uk&#x2F;travel&#x2F;news&#x2F;Worlds-safest-airlines-revealed&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.telegraph.co.uk&#x2F;travel&#x2F;news&#x2F;Worlds-safest-airline...</a> !

In case anyone else is wondering what&#x27;s going on, it&#x27;s just about the &quot;unlucky&quot; numbers. I thought maybe the plane had caught fire or had some other sort of crisis.

Some cultures avoid &quot;unlucky&quot; numbers, especially if want to provide feeling of safety. For instance, Chinese will avoid the number 4 (especially level 4 in buildings or room numbers) since it sounds similar to the word for &quot;death&quot;.

Heh.<p>If this flight disappeared can you imagine the field day cable news and conspiracy theorists would have?

What&#x27;s 13h?
