How to fuck up a new plane
 

This brand spanking new Airbus 340-600, sat just outside its hangar in Toulouse , France without a single hour of airtime.
Enter the Arab flight crew of Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies (ADAT) to conduct pre-delivery tests on the ground, such as
engine run-ups prior to delivery to Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi . The ADAT crew taxied the A340-600 to the run-up area.

Then they took all Four engines to takeoff power with a virtually empty aircraft. Not having Read the run-up
manuals, they had no clue just how light an empty A340-600 Really is.

The takeoff warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit because they had All 4 engines at full power.
The aircraft computers thought they were trying to take off, but it had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc..)
Then one of the ADAT crew decided to pull the circuit breaker on the Ground Proximity Sensor to silence the alarm.
This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air.

The computers automatically released all the Brakes and set the aircraft rocketing forward. The ADAT crew had no idea that this is a safety feature so that pilots can't land with the brakes on.

Not one member of the seven-man Arab crew was smart enough to throttle back the engines from their max power setting,
so the $200 million brand-new Aircraft crashed into a blast barrier, totaling it.

The extent of injuries to the crew is unknown due to the news blackout in the major media in France and elsewhere.

Coverage of the story was deemed insulting to Muslim Arabs.

Ignorance is bliss.

q f t

good story

Dumbass.....LMAO

just a slight mistake :)

Fabulous!

Now gas will go up .50/gallon

this is so DUMB i cant stop clicking on the post and laughing. How in the fuck can people who are smart enough to be in a cockpit of an airbus be that dumb? I mean really...

Welcome to 2007!

This happened in November 2007 and your posting it now?

And that report is total bullshit, the brakes alone can't hold back a plane like that at full thrust. Someone forgot to chock the wheels.

lol
dumb

Congrats to the winners

i just like poo

maybe it was a jihad against concrete barriers.

Damm .......

So...a plane with an arab flight crew crashed - and no box cutters involved.

Chalk one up to karma. :winkwink:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh gotta love karma

Hint.... Write about muslim/arab stuff, make fun of them, etc.. they fucking hate it, but they link shit up like mad they hate, they talk about it in the press. Press exposure creates traffic, traffic creates signups.

Want something viral, fast? > Bash Muslims

that plane got fucking beasted

poor aircraft

France loves to suck muslim cock. They will never report anything bad about muslims.

Yep - a crash course in viral 101.
