747 Splits in Two on T/O

[LR25]

When you guys post the speculations and dumb comments, do you ever hear that little voice thats telling you "this is a stupid thing to say"?

If you dont, atleast your being honest with yourself.

Did they RTO before or after the plane came apart?

Seems like structural failure to me........

Aircraft are designed to fly not go cross country over dirt bank's and ditches and stay in one piece. Thats what ATV's are for.

Glad all OK and we will just have to wait for the official report in a few months as to what happened.

Best to keep stupid, smart assed and illinformed remarks to yourself until the facts surrounding this accident come out. You weren't there......

Boy how I would hate being the captain on that flight having to call my CP...

"Captain: "Ehhh, Jim.. Ya, It's marc here in Belgium... Dont really know what to say here other then... Ya, I really got-r-done this time around.... This time I seriously f*cked up though... But hey, heard the Lakers won by 25 points last night, thats good news!"

Typical whoosie mentality....

An experienced Captain would call up the chief pilot:

Capt:... THAT POS 200 ALMOST GOT ME AND MY CREW KILLED. YOUR'E LUCKY I SAVED THIER ASSES. I AM TIRED OF THIS BS! AFTER THE WE GET OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, CALL A 5 STAR HOTEL AND PUT US UP AWAY FROM THE PRESS! AND WE ARE FLYING FIRST CLASS BACK TO THE STATES ON A EURO CARRIER LIKE BA, AF/KLM OR LH W/ HOT FAS. NOT UAL, NWA, DAL, ETC... WITH THIER HAGGY FAS!! I'M PHCUKING PISSED!!


worse case...blame it on the pain killers...

I think your getting a little extreme now. I don't agree with what was said but he shouldn't be punished? It is a free country last time I checked.

I have a few friends at Kalitta and I'm glad everyone is OK! You really can't rule out any possibilities of structural failure yet. Let the NTSB do there job and lets not speculate what happened. The crew did a great job keeping everyone safe so kudos to them.

He is at Amerijet. If you are talking about B.B..

No, I'm talking about Belch, he's on the -400 as of recently...

 

[AV80R]

... You must be thinking of someone else, we are talking about the famous Belchfire. The legend goes that he travels the world in a 747 seeking out good beer...

It’s not a legend it's the truth... his dispatch releases are code named "Extra Stout," "Draught," etc...

Oh, he also travels around the world so he can spread the gospel about all the fishing he did when he used to live in Bethel, Alaska...

Good to know the five on board are all ok. Not speculating, but it does seem strange that not one of the engines are in reverse in the photos. Each is in the stowed position. Seems to me that if you were going off the end of the runway with that kind of speed, you'd have those fans at max reverse until they hit the dirt. There must be much more to the story than an RTO gone bad and I'm sure it will all come out soon.
