Here's a plane that's probably gonna crash soon:

[Image: mother-daughter-delta-pilot.jpg?resize=586%2C500&ssl=1]

I just picture this black box recording:

Captain: Becky, I told you to put the flaps down!
Co-pilot: Stop it, mom! You're always telling me what to do!
Captain: Your sister would have put them down by now!
Co-pilot: You're so bossy, that's why daddy left you!
Captain: Don't bring your father into this, I told you he was never there for me!

I hope the NTSB is reading this.

Aloha!

I have a super liberal buddy that is pilot for a major US airline and he says women pilots suck ass. Emotional train wrecks.

Beware.

That's a true statement. However there was a female pilot at a previous job that I loved flying with. She knew her shit, was attractive and a wife and mother. She was as unpolliticially correct as they come and ripped into other women at the airline.

Funny story: All the male pilots were stashing porn in the cracks and crevices of the cockpit and some dumb female pilot sued the airline. There were lawyers combing the cockpits. This woman said "fuck that I'm going to get you fuckers" and replaced all the straight porn with gay porn. I never had more respect for a woman.

Yeah, also to become a captain on a top tier airline, you need thousands of hours of experience flying with a perfect safety record, so the women who make it through (usually) deserve to be there.

How about TACA 110? This is similar to the Sully ditching in the Hudson. They were flying a 737 from Mexico to New Orleans, and over the Gulf of Mexico, they lost all their engines. They glided to the edge of Louisiana and spotted some canals, and that was the plan, ditch it in a canal. As they were descending, the copilot spotted a levee (flat with short grass) and the pilot agreed that would be a better landing spot. He was lined up over the canal, so he had to slip it over at the last minute to line up on the levee. He landed there safely, no injuries. The pilot said that was his smoothest landing ever.

I wonder how they got the plane out of there afterwards? They wouldn't have been able to take off, even after repairing the problem. They must have had to disassemble the plane at the site. It must have sucked to have a completely successful landing with no damage, and still have the plane destroyed just as if it had crashed.

There’s a video. They flew it out!
It started sinking into the mud. They got some test pilots to take off and land it at the nearby airport.

Take care of those titties for me.

Man! Those test pilots must have had balls of steel! I would have said I'd only do it for a third of the replacement cost of the plane. Obviously they must have felt it was doable, but still, it must have been a high risk takeoff.

They were headed from Denver to Chicago, but were flying over Iowa when their trouble started. They ended up crash landing in Sioux City Iowa. 185 people survived it (including all the pilots) while 112 died in the crash.

Here’s video of the crash:




I worked with a guy whose dad survived that flight. Made an almost full recovery but still couldn't remember anything from the final approach to waking up in the hospital.

Not sure if you meant to imply that they flew it out of the levee, but that wasn't the case.

NEW ORLEANS -- A TACA International Airlines jet that made an extraordinary power-off landing with 41 people aboard on the grounds of a NASA facility reached its scheduled destination of New Orleans International Airport Monday, 13 days late.

The Boeing 737, with a replacement for one of its two engines, vaulted into the air from a little-used World War II runway after a take-off roll of barely 1,200 feet.

It landed 17 minutes later at New Orleans International, 15 miles to the west where additional maintenance will be performed before the aircraft is returned to service.

TACA Flight 110, with 41 passengers and crew aboard, was nearing the end of a May 24 trip from San Salvador to New Orleans when it lost power in both engines 15 miles from the airport.

The pilot maneuvered the craft to make a near-perfect landing on a grassy strip between the Intracoastal Waterway and the old runway at the NASA-Martin Marietta Michoud Aerospace facility. No one was hurt, and the plane was left intact, making the flyaway possible.

It was the first time a commercial airliner had ever made a safe, 'dead stick' landing away from an airport, aviation experts said.

Technicians from Boeing and General Electric, maker of the plane's engines, replaced the right engine before the plane was cleared for the short hop to New Orleans International.

The plane carried only a pilot and copilot, supplied by Boeing, and a light fuel load of about 5,500 pounds for what was described as a normal flight.

Although the pilot had 5,200 feet of runway to use, he lifted the nose sharply after using less than a fourth of the strip, and banked to the right to ensure clearance of a high-rise bridge and high-tension power lines.

'We could have lost an engine in rotation and still cleared all that,' said National Transportation and Safety Board investigator Warren Wandel. 'We had a considerable safety margin.'

Martin Marietta employees who gathered outside to watch the take-off cheered and applauded as the aircraft rose sharply into low-hanging clouds.

'We're ready to get back to the business of tanks nstead of airplanes,' said John Hill, manager of the NASA facility where external fuel tanks for the space shuttle are made.

Wandel said the engine that was removed would be sent to the manufacturer's plant at Cincinnati, Ohio, a 'detailed teardown inspection,' Wandel said. He said the engine showed over-heating damage.

'The investigation is still continuing. It will take several months. The fact the plane is in service doesn't mean it's over by any means. It was returned to service before it took off from here,' he said.

Early speculation on the cause of the total engine failure centered on possible fuel contamination or severe weather. The engines quit as the plane flew threw a severe thunderstorm that generated heavy rains and golf ball-sized hail.

The aircraft had 12,800 pounds of fuel on board when the engines quit. However, fuel contamination, since has been ruled out as a cause of the engine failures.

One additional note that's not included in the above article, the plane was towed to the old airstrip at the NASA facility (right nearby) and then it took off from there.

Pretty neat.

One of the most insane reports I've ever read is Fedex 705. They had a three man crew as well as a fellow pilot jumpseater on board. The jumpseater suspected he was about to be fired so he attempted to hijack the aircraft, crash it, so his family could collect on the life insurance.

The three pilots all got their heads bashed in by a hammer and never returned to flying commercially. My understanding is that Fedex went above and beyond to take care of them medically and financially. They were strapped in and fighting the hijacker and flying the plane at the same time and doing barrel rolls. The hijacker was eventually subdued and they landed the aircraft.

And the hijacker got two life sentences and is still rotting in prison. Serves him right.

Thank you RI, that’s a unique one!

I found this audio of the pilot communication with ATC (starts at 1:50):





Take care of those titties for me.

What's the story on TWA flight 800? There are massive conspiracies and "cover-ups" surrounding that incident.

Here is another interesting incident that fortunately didn't end in a crash. A cargo aircraft decompressed and the pilots suffered hypoxia. It sounded like they were drunk. Air Traffic Control identified the problem and got them to descend and all of a sudden the pilots snapped out of it.






The urban legend is that the first officer was a smoker and that is why he wasn't hit as hard by the hypoxia.

Slightly outside the scope of this thread but this happened just a few weeks ago on a Turkish Airlines flight. The plane hit severe turbulence on approach to JFK injuring dozens of people.

I believe the guy is praying "Father take control". Fortunately, the plane landed safely.

One of my worst experiences was a JFK to Doha, Qatar flight. While we were eating our dinner, we got hit with turbulence for over an hour. This was over the Atlantic, at night and no land in sight. No, I didn't sleep at all during that flight.

This is about planes that don't crash, so apologies all around.

Right now I'm watching tons of F-18s land. It's windy and freaking incredible.






I'm in this guy's apartment in one of these high rises. Its got a great view of the airport which shares runways with Pear Harbor / Hickam AFB. There must be a carrier coming in. They get as much weight off of them before they port, because of that whole Japanese thing. These planes are fully loaded.

I suppose they do the flyover to get visual of the runway. I don't know. I forgot how fast these things are.

Aloha!

Here’s an incident with a happy ending.

A charter flight, a 767 with over 300 souls on board (a couple weeks before 9/11), Toronto to Lisbon Portugal. They get a fuel leak over the Atlantic, and eventually lose all engines. With no engines, the power goes out (there’s an auxiliary power source that provides limited electricity for the cockpit). The passengers hear the engines go silent and then the lights flicker and go out with nothing but ocean below. Sheer terror.

The pilots figure they need to ditch it in the ocean. Good luck surviving that.

But...there’s some hope. The Azores might be close enough, and it has a big beautiful runway. But no one has ever been able to glide a wide body with no engines that far before.

The pilot did it though. With most control gone, they came in fast and landed hard. They of course had no reverse thrust. The tires blew out from the landing. Eventually the plan stopped. A miracle.

The pilot showed great skill and nerves of steel.

How about TACA 110? This is similar to the Sully ditching in the Hudson. They were flying a 737 from Mexico to New Orleans, and over the Gulf of Mexico, they lost all their engines. They glided to the edge of Louisiana and spotted some canals, and that was the plan, ditch it in a canal. As they were descending, the copilot spotted a levee (flat with short grass) and the pilot agreed that would be a better landing spot. He was lined up over the canal, so he had to slip it over at the last minute to line up on the levee. He landed there safely, no injuries. The pilot said that was his smoothest landing ever.

I wonder how they got the plane out of there afterwards? They wouldn't have been able to take off, even after repairing the problem. They must have had to disassemble the plane at the site. It must have sucked to have a completely successful landing with no damage, and still have the plane destroyed just as if it had crashed.

There’s a video. They flew it out!
It started sinking into the mud. They got some test pilots to take off and land it at the nearby airport.

Man! Those test pilots must have had balls of steel! I would have said I'd only do it for a third of the replacement cost of the plane. Obviously they must have felt it was doable, but still, it must have been a high risk takeoff.

Not high risk if you're a NASA test pilot.
