Omg such big news, a plane aborting a takeoff. Like honestly, this story is being blown out of proportion.
More detail at http://www.smh.com.au/business/aviation/please-switch-off-the-camera-qatar-airways-dramatic-autobrake-aborted-takeoff-at-jfk-20151211-gllm1d.html and http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2015/12/11/a350-aborted-takeoff/
I don't know which was more funny. The fact that a grown man had to call momma to say he was scared or that his boarding pass was dated 10 Dec 2000. So much for Qatar's security at JFK lol
The Yahoos at Yahoo! Travel called this a "disaster" in their headline. Hardly.
From a PR perspective, maybe an oopsie, but not a disaster.
PR disaster!
Ask the airline CEO, Akbar Al Bakar, his opinion about this happening. He will tell you in the line of his comment on the overrun with the Qatar 777 in Maiami, that it happens daily. No problem, nothing new. Worst case they should take a few landing lights and some demage on the fuselage over several meters, but also this is at Qatar Airways a daily business and nothing to worry according Akbar Al Bakar. Or this guy is a stupid or has a alcohol problem as a normal CEO should not even think it. Have a nice flight with Qatar.
