I rebooted, deleted temp files, history, cookies and everything...still cannot view the news clip. All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?
flying back from Phoenix last year, I am sitting in the very front row.
The stewardesses are locked in their seats, chatting up a storm...and we start to roll down the runway.
Next thing you k now the door starts whistling really loud...the fucking thing is not shut completely....the look on the stewardesses face would be considered priceless if it were not the same look on mine.
She stood up and pulled the damn thing in tight and made sure it was bolted good...dear god I wanted to bitch slap those over paid cocktail waitresses.
This B777 made a big thing out of a Normal Take off! Tail Strike! Realy bad one! ater 40min Fule Dumping over the "Schwarzwald" it made a Emercany Landing on RWY14 with all the Firetruck`s etc.... The Flight MA9 to Kualalumpur got Canceld after 6h standing at the Gate E56 on the Dock Middfield.
I would drink everything in the mini bar! Then I wouldn't give a shit anymore. That or I would try to land that fucker myself!
haha ill have to remember that one. sounds like a good idea! get fucking plastered have the flight attendant throw on some tunes and shit id be good to go.
I used to fly the fokker 50, nothing could bring those babys down.
Now i mostly do private jets part-time to build hours to keep my license. trust me people, alot has to happen for a birdie to come down. The pics state (if anything) that even at misshaps you are bound to land safelly.

Infact, this pic IS real...... ground crew forgot to close a pannel, the whole pannel of the engine blew off in flight.
The engine cowling was on, it just wasn't latched properly. The design on the A32x was so that the cowling would appear latched and flush but when the plane took off it would fly off. It's now been changed.

I love photos like these and I still would fly any day over driving.
Photo comment states ground crew forgot to close a pannel in the cowling and it ripped off during flight.
"A mechanic stated he opened the fan cowl for the No. 1 engine prior to the flight, and he could not recall if the cowl doors were fully latched"
Anyhow...... no big deal, just don't use trust reverse on touch down
Any chance the top covering could have ripped off and then subsequent parts of the wing afterwords?
Don't think so. As i read the repport on the incident it ripped off sometime right after take-off, don't know if the flaps where already retrackted or not but if they where don't think it even touched the wing. At take-off the nose attitude is up and they are below 250 knots, around 210 i guess so i think it just fell straight down.
One part was found 7.5 miles from the runway i think it was. Not alot of damage, the aircraft probably flew again the next day after replacing the engine or parts of it.
Uhm....... first off all, an inflight check wouldn't have helped at all, just wasted very needed time and secondly, what good is ANY check if a part of your engine gets seperated during take-off?
You just have one goal: get it on the ground safelly as soon as possible, don't waste time on checks that don't help at all or don't improve the situation, those pilots had enough on their hands as it was.
If you mean an outside check before engine startup, well, those as usually done before boarding, a ground crew member might have altered something on the engine after that, it's pretty common that the pilots trust the ground crew and not perform a second outside check when a ground crew member opened a panel.
