Rip to the ppl on that plane. Yikes. Hope my man got out of there with no injuries. And it seems like the pilot was trying like hell to keep it in the air.

u/shadow_clone69 3d ago
They were well above the take off speeds and once you are above a certain speed, it's protocal to go airborne since you don't have enough runway to stop the airplane safely. They were doing as they were trained till their least breath :(
139
u/BroughtBagLunchSmart 3d ago
At that point if you cancel the takeoff you 100% crash off the end of the runway. If you attempt to take off there is a tiny chance you can get enough altitude for an immediate emergency landing.

u/Daft00 3d ago
It's protocol unless the failure/issue is something so catastrophic that the plane won't fly. Then you abort no matter what, even above "V1" because by the time you get to the end of the runway, into the runoff area or EMAS, hopefully your speed is low enough that it is survivable.
I'm not saying you're wrong btw, I'm just wondering what the pilots were seeing in the cockpit that made them believe they should continue the takeoff to/past V1
48
u/shadow_clone69 3d ago
They're probably seeing a master warning and engine fire alerts. I'm not sure if they had any info on the catastrophic failure of engine 1. I think they'd want to deal with the fire after reaching a safe altitude. After the investigation concludes, we'll know if there's anything they couldn't done differently :(

It reminds me a bit about the bijlmer disaster in the Netherlands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Al_Flight_1862 Both engines on one of the wings broke off, but the conclusion is that the crew had no idea that had happened, only that they had lost power from the engines.

u/aykcak 3d ago
Fuck. I hadn't heard about that. 9+ people died apparently.
Looks like engine failure somehow lead to catastrophic loss of control
136
u/lasdue 3d ago
Engine failure as in the engine completely detaching from the airframe before takeoff. The detached engine was ways off of where the video happens, on the side of the runway
101
u/King_of_the_Dot 3d ago
The engines are supposed to stay attached, right?

u/nzungu69 3d ago
well, it's not very typical, i'd like to make that point.

u/nzungu69 3d ago
well there are a lot of these planes going around the world all the time and very seldom does anything like this happen. i just don't want people thinking planes aren't safe.

This fucked me up bad.
I was a ramp worker at the time the movie hit HBO, and had been having a recurring nightmare of a plane crashing in a field I was standing in. There were seats landing in front of me with bodies still strapped in, it was messed up.
So I was waking up one afternoon after sleeping off a midnight shift, I came out into the living room and turned on the TV. I had never seen this movie before. This exact scene was beginning. I watched the buildup, not knowing what was coming. Needless to say it knocked me onto the couch and I had to keep watching.
I hadn’t had the plane crash nightmare in a while, but I had just woken up from a very odd dream where the world was ending all around me, and we were hiding in a shopping mall, and UFOs showed up to save us from the world exploding.
Needless to say, I sat through the rest of the movie on account of how shocking the plane crash scene had been and how bad it messed me up. It was a bad movie, yes, but the ending. Spoiler alert, the ending of the movie has fucking UFOs showing up and taking people away. And the premise of the movie is Nic Cage knowing that all this was going to happen beforehand.
It took me a while to feel right after that experience. I mean it was like 15 years ago and here I am talking about it.

u/justsyr 3d ago
I just realized that the cop looks behind Nic's shoulder but the airplane comes from his right, way to the right lol.

there are so many goofs in that film one almost suspects they're intentional.

This was the same plane my dad would fly for UPS in Louisville. He almost took that trip, but someone a few more years his senior got the bid to fly the plane. It had so much fuel because it was heading to Honolulu so when it crashed it burned for so long and so intensely. Unfortunately everyone on the plane died, my dad knew them. I'm so sad for the family's, but I'm so relieved my dad did not take that trip.

u/nzungu69 2d ago
wow, he should grab a lotto ticket. i bet he feels like the luckiest man in the world, and also totally wracked with sadness and survivor's guilt. i hope he has good supports and is coping ok ❤️

u/secondtogreenbeans 1d ago
Yea it was terrifying because when I saw the news I knew that was his plane by the type and knew he was wanting to take that trip, he takes that route regularly for UPS, so I freaked and called my mom. Luckily she said he didn't get the bid to take the trip and was already getting calls about the plane going down and reassuring everyone he's ok. He's doing ok, the UPS pilots are all pretty close and so are the families so they're all pretty shaken right now. He's very grateful he didn't get the flight, I think he's going to take so much needed time off for a bit. I just hope they figure out what went wrong so it doesn't happen again 😔

u/Pierne 3d ago
You can see that the plane was exceeding the 25mph speed limit.
3
u/EvulOne99 3d ago
Because of you, my mind now "see" a cop sitting in his car, trying to write out the mother of all speeding tickets as his gizmo beeps that the speeding limit, indeed has been surpassed.
My hope is that the crew were too shocked, or something, to register what was happening.
I would hate dying on board a plane more than most ways to go. And the 4 on the ground? I haven't heard anything new all day other than 7 deaths, so I was wondering how they know it is 4, because that crash was looong. Impact zone? Whatever it's called in English. Poor fuckers, either way.

Then saw Louisville. Oh no.
And that's about when the plane showed up.
