Jackson Hole incident today...

[LAHSOinMIA]

CNN reporting AMR 2252 (757) off runway in Jackson Hole. Details forthcoming. Prayers for all of those aboard.

CNN is claiming it is more minor than first reported. I'm very happy that the media got it wrong...

Looked like the plane was undamaged and about 1000 or so feet past the end of runway 19 in a field. We had been sitting there all morning and the wx sucked. Moderate to heavy snow with continuous snow plowing of the runway. The 757 was the first airline to land.

The 757 was the first airline to land.

And the aperantly the last

Like the 5th overrun this year.

Shhhhhh the FAA doesn't want you to know

 

[be-400xpdriver]

And the second where the mu was reported as 40.

They COULD extend the runway...


But NOOOOOOOOOOO! It's inside a National Park. The "environmental impact" is too great.


How much negative environmental impact will there be when an airplane inevitably goes off that runway and explodes in a ball of smoke and flame?

 

[maru657]

Wow,,, Is there a runway American hasen't run over run?

 

[CA1900]

Wow,,, Is there a runway American hasen't run over run?

Care to try that again in English?

 

[Chubaka]

Oh great, now we get another FAA designed laminated flow chart for us all to use to calculate before each landing.

 

[instructordude]

How about landing in the zone on speed or if you are not JUST GO AROUND STUPID. These incidents don't need to happen.

and of course you have the entire story and facts. Go ahead and cancel the FAA, NTSB, company investigation.

It looks like the transating cowling cracks open at touchdown, closes and then fully opens (albeit too late). I wonder if there was an issue with getting the reversers to deploy.

I hate to feed the troll, but it looks like they landed in the touchdown zone. You can see the papi zip by at about :23 during the YouTube vid.

Can AA 757's use reverser in performance calculations?

Wow, that dude ends his video with kind of interesting narrative....
