Aircraft Near Miss And Unusual Event Compilation Video..A really good one!!
I have never seen this compilation of videos before. I know you all have seen dozens of these but this one stands out in my opinion. Additionally, fantastic footage of a A340 RTO and the aftermath that follows,..it was a training flight and had cameras all over. Another 747 RTO et al. I have searched squawks and could not find this particular video so I hope it's not a repost...enjoy...I sure did. (www.liveleak.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Knowing a lot of "pilots" these days, no need to scratch!!!
The T38 was probably on a barn burner route. It looked like a Comanche flashed by and the student didn't even notice. The instructor realized that only by luck they had cheated death and gave the "Let's go home" remark.
The crosswind landing apparently exceeded the autopilot authority for the conditions - something that wasn't picked up by the designers until AFTER this incident! Software, software !!!!
Whoa... Tires going out like that has always been my worst nightmare as a ramp rat. I love the other fire fighters off camera going, "Nah man, you've got this one. We'll just stand back here, you go check it out, ok?"
Yeah. If you suspect hot brakes, stay well away, and avoid the side of the wheels in line with the axles. Stay fore or aft.
Yanno, its funny that at no airline I've ever worked for, has anyone ever said anything about this. And lord knows I'm running out of new ones to test drive these days.
Now I agree with you that it would be a bad idea to be inboard or outboard in line with the axles, no question there. However, I also thought about the truck tires you see on the highway also. I mean, tons of compressed nitrogen pushing out on the tread. What if when the thing goes chernobyl at the gate, a piece of tread gets whipped out like a giant rubber beaver tail? I always kinda split the difference and tried to keep as close to 45 degrees off any hot tires I could when putting the chokes in. But thats just me I suppose.

Agreed! As both a firefighter AND truck driver...always approach on a 45 with hose. and we truckers call those GATORS (tire remains)...if you run'em over, they thend to get caught and 'bite' your rear or get suck in the wheel wells..
Back in the early 1970's a "ramp rat" was killed by an exploding tire on a new Transair B737 at Winnipeg airport. The guy applied UNREGULATED air hose to re-inflate a low tire on the newly arrived A/C with the brakes still glowing.
His remains were small pieces. Left behind a wife and small child. Tragic.

The KAL B777....well, 'nuff said...
Filmmaker got it wrong with the "B737" and the wingtip strike (in a wicked crosswind that was probably above the limitations)...the quality is poor, but the landing light locations give it away...it's an Airbus 320. And, with a x-wind from the right, HOW he let it bank the wrong direction and clip the left wingtip is a real head-scratcher.
