The body gear steering on this one partially collapsed during hydraulic tests, causing the plane to tilt backward onto its tail

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.

Is that Airtran? Whats the flight #?

Nice pics :(

and they say only a rare few air accident happen. shit

:smokin

damn that would suck..

yeah that would suck, at least the guy's got a sense of humor about death lol

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold Pic

lots of pics, good think they all landed safely

never been afraid of flying but those pics make me think twice lol

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.

holy fucking crap

Excellent point

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 :winkwink:

thats not what you wanna see

interesting & nice pics... i dont really see this like its scary or w/e, its just like seeing a car in an accident or something.

I think thats pretty scary!

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.

I liked the original TZ gremlin better:

One of the reasons I hate flying..yikes

oh shit, that's pretty scary..

Yeah i think they forgot an inflight check

That pilot was amazing landing that thing.

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.
