From the Free Library (February 14, 2000): The landing gear of an Air Afrique Airbus A300 collapsed as the aircraft was preparing for takeoff from Dakar International Airport late on 11 February. The incident occurred after the pilot noticed that the warning light for the main left-hand landing undercarriage was on and turned the aircraft to taxi back to the parking area, only to have the aircraft fall to the left when the landing gear collapsed. A small fire was started through the impact of the engine with the ground, but this was quickly extinguished. The aircraft, which was en route to Paris, France, had 175 passengers onboard and 11 crew members. About seven people were taken to hospital due to minor injuries, with four released and three kept in for observation according to Reuters.
airbus and boeing both have good airplanes but think that airbus is a bit cheep i e. the A320(much newer) has more landing gear fails than the 767 (much older)
science for idiots Compare a Boeing 737 with an Airbus A320, or a Boeing 767 with an Airbus A330, but A320 vs 767? different type of planes and time. It doesn't make sense
That A-300 maybe was, originally, from Eastern Airlines ( R I P ). Looks like the Two-Tone Parallel Blue Lines were painted Green. Pretty Good Times We Had with the A-300, at EASTERN... Excellent Ground Braking Plane, A Real Workhorse !
If you make comments that have nothing to do with Aviation such as this last one there is no reason they should be approved because they start off arguments that don't belong in this "Just Planes" channel. if you make aviation comments they will always be approved unless you use profanity or attack people... Also overly critical posts of airlines might not be approved because we rely on these airlines to allow us to film them and we don't need reasons for them to cut us out... just common sense.
This must be old.. Air Afrique does`nt exist anymore. I`ve landed several times on that airport, Dakar - Yoff and used to see some old Air Afrique DC-8s back then. The engines would spit fire whilst starting up.
This is an old story: Air Afrique - Airbus A300B4-203 Dakar, Senegal 11th February, 2000 The aircraft was on Dakar airport (Senegal) and ready for a passenger flight. During taxi for takeoff, the aircraft's left landing gear collapsed,.. BTW: Air Afrique doesn't exist anymore. But it used to be a very good air liner. I flew about a hundred time with them, all over Africa, but also to NewYork several time and all over Europe. ...
It's a warning chime that tells the pilots something or other. My guess is it's part of the radio-landing system, telling them pilots they've just passed a certain point or altitude. It also happens right before the last-chance-to-go-around point (where it says "minimum"), so it might be a pre-warning, to make sure they are paying attention. An expert would have to tell you more, but it's clearly one of the many audible warnings that this particular plane uses.
dude, you dont know how famus just planes are, i love them, i dont care how they wright the tittle, what i care is the videos content, dont mess with just planes.
The aircraft was on Dakar airport (Senegal) and ready for a passenger flight. During taxi for takeoff, the aircraft's left landing gear collapsed, allowing the engine to strike the taxiway. A fuel line was ruptured, leading to an engine fire, which spread to the wing, causing substantial damage. The aircraft was written off. None of the 186 people onboard were injured.
What amazes me most is that someone opened the emergency door which was right next to the fire! (Or perhaps the fire started after the door was opened?)
That was February 11, 2000 when the left main gear collapsed during takeoff. There was a fire, and the plane was written off. This was the 282nd A300 to be built. On the website planespotters, which is followed by dot net/Production_List/Airbus/A300/282,TU-TAT-Air-Afrique.php
I searched the plane registration on Google (TU-TAT). The plane was taxiing for a departure to Paris. Then suddenly the left main gear unsafe alarm sounded. The taxied back to the gate, but while taxiing the left main gear collapsed causing the engine to strike the ground and a fire broke out. Everybody was evacuated safely. This accident occurred on Feb 12 2000. (Source: Aviation Safety Network). (Thumbs up so others can read this also?)

Well, that shows most gear collapses are not so servere as making an error in the air! But hell, they were lucky to not burst up in flames completely! Good work of the fire crew I guess, great work! You can see were the starboard wing, clipped the ground!

France is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe in my book and French food is the 2nd best in the world, also in my book (after Belgian cuisine)... and most French people are very charming but just like in every country in the world, there are some pain in the asses...
You would be surprised what some people post here... Racist remarks for example or personal attacks on other people won't be allowed here... thats all... other than that everyone is entitled to their own opinion...
As a retired MD-11 pilot. the first thing that came to mind: Did the passengers and crew disembark safely? Looks like they did, thankfully. Why did this happen? Collapsed gear? Engine fire contained. Last thought: What a mess! An end to the life of a great airplane. Nuts! Planes can be replaced but not people. At least they walked away. Now, call the insurance company.
Statistically it is more a question of "which airline" and not "which type airplane" if you want to travel safely. There are several airlines I would not travel with. In addition to the ones you mentioned I'd ad all Aeroflot planes on domestic lines and Ryan Air.
During taxi for takeoff, the aircraft's left landing gear collapsed, allowing the engine to strike the taxiway. A fuel line was ruptured, leading to an engine fire which spread to the wing, causing substantial damage. The aircraft was written off.
Hombre el video ésta bastante interesante para quienens nos interesamos en asuntos de aviación comercial, en fín. Espero que en adelante tambien haya algo de información de lo aquí publicado en español. Gracias
i agree, since they speak the same language with the ATC, it would have been more interesting if they comunicated in a foreign language that both are not that familiar with
For those of you sitting on the left side of the aircraft, you can enjoy the view of beautiful St. Florent. For those of you sitting on the right side...please look left.
Taxiing to the runway for a departure to Paris, the left main gear unsafe alarm sounded. The crew elected to return to the parking area. While taxiing back, the left main gear retracted, causing the no. 1 engine to strike the ground. A fire broke out in the vicinity of this engine and the aircraft was quickly evacuated.

I was mostly commenting on previously attached comments dealing with the action of the "French" speaking crew. But thanks for responding and posting. My common experience with UA-cam postings requiring "uploader approval," is that comments even slightly critical, are never approved. You will read only lavish praise there. Or, of course, the uploader has long ago lost interest and doesn't even look at the comments. Either way, I've NEVER BEFORE had a comment "approved." SO.....many thanks!
I think it would take a lot for a pilot to break a landing gear 3 minutes after he's started the engines and taxied out a few hundred feet… but who knows...

Interesting. Notice the forward cabin door slide was deployed...same side that was on fire!. Also notice the 1officers decided to take the quick way out through his side window using the arrester line!
LOL I thought it was an accident which just had ouccured, because I were in Dakar in October 2011 in association with Cimber Sterling, flying for Senegal Airlines with an ATR-42-50 Reg. OY-CIJ :)

Happen on February 2000, the left main gear collapse while the A300-B4 taxiing then the left CF6 snaps, breaking a fuel pipe which ignite on the wing. Everybody get out of the plane alive.
Thank you, parakeetproducer. Cause of the landingear collapse? Sorry it caused so much damage. Surprised that someone opened the port door in front of that engine. But would have been fun sliding down in front of it. Great view!
I think he was referring to people attacking the French pilots for 'laughing', and assuming they were laughing at the accident - which they weren't (according to the uploader).
Very sensible! Perhaps you noticed that I was attempting to compliment you for your thoughtful and timely response to uploader approval. On the other hand, your precise and somewhat legalistic approach seems to be at odds with some NON-aviation comments which talk about the laughing pilots speaking French. The vast majority of aviation videos on UA-cam manage quite nicely without uploader approval. Uploader approval is generally an indication of someone taking themselves a bit too seriously.
in the report it is said: damaged beyond repair! I don't see why this can't be repaired ??? BTW I flew very often in this plane. The last time was in november 1999, just a few month before this happened. Air Afrique was a grat air liner. I flew amost all my life with this air liner all over the world (to America, Europe and Africa.)
The Airbus A380 has had 1 official incident, caused by a design flaw in the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine. And by the way, Boeing uses the family of engines on the new 777 and 787. If you compare the A380 and 747, its notable that the former carries 100 more passengers than the 747, over a longer distance while burning 12% less fuel. With all that said; you really can't compare aircraft brands, planes are just infinitely more complex than most machines known to man.
I would have to watch the video again, its been 15 years, but I highly doubt they were laughing about the incident, which wasn't a crash.. the airplane never took off...
Can we say that Boeing and Airbus have both had some errors, but if your looking for a company to complain about, do it about McDonnell-Douglas. American Airlines Flight 191: McDonnell-Douglas DC-10. It crashed shortly after takeoff. And it was not the pilot's fault. It was the worst Aviation incident before 9/11.
I wish you had used either English subtitles or placed an about info on the pilots chat. I had to look up through all the trash chat about laughing to find a nice translation for this.
Cool video! Thought so, this A300 is a total...even if it looks repairable and it's easy to do it on that plane, as wings can be changed easy, compared to newer Airbus, it#s too expensive on such a old plane. :3( Sad to see a other one of those last passenger transporting versions go. On that plane it's not common to happen, so it's maintenance that screwed something up, I guess.
Not exactly. The only requirement is that Pilots and ATCs use a common language - that means you can find radio traffic in a variety of languages like e.g. French or German. In most countries the first choice of language will still be English though. The two really big exceptions to that are Russia and China where only the Pilots from other countries speak English on the radio. Most traffic tends to be in Russian or Chinese respectively.
i think the Air Afrique plane was taxi-ing ( i don't know the right form) to the runway when the landing gear broke and the plane landed on the engine... but again, just a guess
Just bloody google the aircraft number... TU-TAT.. the left main gear collapsed whilst returning to the terminal after a warning light regarding the same wheel alerted the pilots to a problem.. wheel collapsed, engine struff the ground and a fire broke out... no injuries. aircraft written off... and that took all of 5 seconds to find the info with Google.
Kenya Airways has a great safety record and is a outstanding airline to fly ! The service is what use to be standard with American airliners back in the 80s . Now if you want to talk 3rd world airlines they use older planes so of couse they have more problems

I say the same thing...

There are more A320s than 767s.
IDIOT
Joaquin Pinto to PAX what's important is the total number of failures and the rate of failure
That A-300 maybe was, originally, from Eastern Airlines ( R I P ).
Looks like the Two-Tone Parallel Blue Lines were painted Green.

At least you went round a couple of times to make sure all your passengers had a good view! :-P
I remember this incident, just some days after the loss of a 707-300C in Tanzania. But at least all the passengers had left this A300B4 alive.

The copilot is looking more at the other aircraft than his own
Everyone should has their respect over others duties... Not to make fun. Your life are important as well theirs too.
That certainly is a surprise as I don't expect that sort of parking on an airport :D
Do you actually know what they are laughing about or are you just assuming?
Very strange audible call outs on that MD-80!
Landing gear problems usually come under the heading'maintenance' or 'design'. Not so much pilots unless it was a hard landing.
I think it would take a lot for a pilot to break a landing gear 3 minutes after he's started the engines and taxied out a few hundred feet… but who knows...

Sorry it caused so much damage.

in the report it is said: damaged beyond repair! I don't see why this can't be repaired ???
BTW I flew very often in this plane. The last time was in november 1999, just a few month before this happened.
Air Afrique was a grat air liner. I flew amost all my life with this air liner all over the world (to America, Europe and Africa.)
Like they say, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing!
The Airbus A380 has had 1 official incident, caused by a design flaw in the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine. And by the way, Boeing uses the family of engines on the new 777 and 787. If you compare the A380 and 747, its notable that the former carries 100 more passengers than the 747, over a longer distance while burning 12% less fuel. With all that said; you really can't compare aircraft brands, planes are just infinitely more complex than most machines known to man.
@avcomth It is the ground proximity advisor
The voice of the FO sounds a lot like the voice of the captain of the Brussels Airlines A330 video :)
You can see clearly at 1:48 - 52 written on the airplane "Airbus A300".
This you guys see the bird at 0:56 second's this is what causing engine blow's when they get sucked in to the engine.

I would have to watch the video again, its been 15 years, but I highly doubt they were laughing about the incident, which wasn't a crash.. the airplane never took off...
That was the one where the right engine just fell off after takeoff at O'Hare right?
Uhh you do not really want to see this when you are sitting in a plane.
hahaha no, not at all... but just trying to make sense with so many comments on a same page...
this video gives a new meaning to the term "rubbernecking"... LOL
You sure fixed their wagons.
Can we say that Boeing and Airbus have both had some errors, but if your looking for a company to complain about, do it about McDonnell-Douglas.
American Airlines Flight 191: McDonnell-Douglas DC-10. It crashed shortly after takeoff. And it was not the pilot's fault. It was the worst Aviation incident before 9/11.
2:08 "what's up bro?"
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing!
Couple of people clearly expected Just Planes to have been in a massive crash, lived & uploaded it to YT. -sigh-
The title is misleading.
It didn't crash.
It should have been "crash-landed".
+DukeGolgoTogo31 The word crash doesn't appear in the title... only says collapsed which it did...
+DukeGolgoTogo31 He was referring to the A300, not the plane the video was shot in.

+JustPlanes Is it me or are you circling that thing tons of times in
a Cessna 152 ???

I wish you had used either English subtitles or placed an about info on the pilots chat. I had to look up through all the trash chat about laughing to find a nice translation for this.
... the Sheriff of UA-cam has spoken !
The A340, maybe the test was in Tchad as no water suply is there !
Flying in Africa - always a thrill :-)
Cool video!
Thought so, this A300 is a total...even if it looks repairable and it's easy to do it on that plane, as wings can be changed easy, compared to newer Airbus, it#s too expensive on such a old plane. :3(
Sad to see a other one of those last passenger transporting versions go.
On that plane it's not common to happen, so it's maintenance that screwed something up, I guess.
Not exactly. The only requirement is that Pilots and ATCs use a common language - that means you can find radio traffic in a variety of languages like e.g. French or German. In most countries the first choice of language will still be English though. The two really big exceptions to that are Russia and China where only the Pilots from other countries speak English on the radio. Most traffic tends to be in Russian or Chinese respectively.
very smooth landing...butwhy did the auto pilot warning sound just before they touched down?
If you give it some time I'm sure it will :)
i think the Air Afrique plane was taxi-ing ( i don't know the right form) to the runway when the landing gear broke and the plane landed on the engine... but again, just a guess
I don't think they were "walking" away from that one... more of a run, I'd imagine.
Just bloody google the aircraft number... TU-TAT.. the left main gear collapsed whilst returning to the terminal after a warning light regarding the same wheel alerted the pilots to a problem.. wheel collapsed, engine struff the ground and a fire broke out... no injuries. aircraft written off... and that took all of 5 seconds to find the info with Google.
On take off the left landing collapsed and the left engine hit the runway cut the fuel line and engine fire the plane was written off.
A wrecked airplane at an African airport? Now I've seen everything! ;-)
Woow, that's AIR Afrique , now gone bankrupted since 2001. But guys that kind of accident happens everywhere in the world not only Africa.
It could have been repaired. New wing with all interior parts, new engine, ready to go.
They are not laughing at the accident... Don't assume things!!
Something people would hate to see right before take off!!
Kenya Airways has a great safety record and is a outstanding airline to fly ! The service is what use to be standard with American airliners back in the 80s . Now if you want to talk 3rd world airlines they use older planes so of couse they have more problems
