    • @downallyourstreets
      @downallyourstreets Рік тому

      I don’t think it’s possible to take regular boats open to the public across the pond; not since the 1970’s. Hopefully he was immediately retired be it packaged or canned. Not switching off the affected engine was a major senior moment that would’ve been devastating to life had it happened at any time after takeoff and could no longer be aborted. If you have an engine fire 🔥 you shut it down ASAP on any kind of engine. Pilot got lucky is all. I feel for the people trapped inside waiting in terror while the windows start to melt and the cabin crew has to wait for the “old man” to finally get around to calling an evac. Before they can throw the doors open and get out of that rust bucket full to brim with fuel and the engine sparking away like a stoner with a finicky lighter!

      I had the same thought. Though at that point the plane would be doing 200+ mph and the force of the wind plus fire extinguisher being pushed by the wind into the engine would probably have extinguished the fire. Sitting still on the ground an engine fire has a much better chance of blazing out of control. I've seen accounts of pilots using the remaining engine(s) to speed up a plane to put out an engine fire.

      You have the right to delude yourself in any manner you wish, as long as that does not harm other people. Alienating children from factual learning and without the express permission of their parents is a direct denial of the right of those children to learn about modern life and technology without the confusing introduction of centuries-old clap-trap. If ever you find yourself trapped in the burning wreckage of some means of transport, tell the emergency services personnel present at the scene not to risk their lives saving you, and that you positively desire to wait to be saved by an old man sitting on a cloud. What would you risk? You don't really believe such an old man exists, do you? Religion is the only form of denial of reality that is sometimes not considered to be a sign of psychosis. Psychotics are mentally ill...
      That being said: This video is a masterpiece, even by the standards TheFlightChannel has already set. By comparison everything else, including this comment, is minor!

In the past, the thumbnail or the title wouldn't give away too much information and I would sit in suspense, questioning what could happen and being in the moment with the planes, but these days, the thumbnail and title gives everything away before I even watch the video... I hope you can consider leaving some suspense! Thanks again for your videos! Keep up the good works.

      All humans err, all humans can forget; that is what check-lists are for! Even small errors are significant when it means an aircraft can fall out of the sky! Because that usually means a lot of humans will die!
      Still, air travel is the safest way to travel, partly due to the fact pilots do not want to die any more than the passengers do! But flying requires precision and use of ALL elements that make it safe, including a lot of experienced sober pilots, checklists and adhering to ALL the required rules that make it safe.

    this could also have happened during take-off at e.g. 3000ft height and with a plane full of fuel for a ten hours flight it might have ended in a desaster. So problem is that 20 year old engines require a better in-depth examination

    • @alexp3752
      @alexp3752 4 роки тому

      If the engine failure occurred at cruise, and the disc fracture were contained, following the fuel cut off, more than likely the A/C could have continued onto its destination within the range of ETOPS limitations. If this had happened immediately after rotation, the result may have been somewhat different.
