Nao falo portugues. Although I guess a picture is worth a thousand words in this case.

 

[WalterSobchak]

No hablo espanol. Although I guess a picture is worth a thousand words in this case.

*facepalm*

Seeing that it's a Brazilian website, I would venture to estimate that it's not Español, but Portuguese.

Horrible translation, but it's close enough to give the basic gist.



EDIT: Damn you for seeing the error of your ways before I hit the submit button! Foiled me once again, Stifler's Mom!...I'll get you next time, Gadget!

 

[Stifler's Mom]

You beat me to it. I tried to go back and read some of it, and noticed it was Portugese, not Spanish. My limited public school Spanish class wasn't working too well for me. I changed it, but you quoted the orginal post Wally.

The Portuguese are not the issue here! hahaha

 

[Dubya]

So is it still "royer" in Portuguenglish, or is this the exclusive spanglish language of Mexicana, Aeromexico, and TACA?

 

[Salukipilot4590]

Well hey....it looks like it's one hell of a durable airplane....especially when foreigners have their way with it...

 

[WalterSobchak]

I DO believe that is the correct nomenclature...

Plane skids on runway and left two injured in Vitoria da Conquista

Juscelino Souza | Vitoria da Conquista Branch *
A plane Passaredo (prefix PTB-2231), with capacity for 50 people skidded twice on the runway while trying to land at the airport Otacílio Pedro de Figueiredo, Vitória da Conquista (to 509 km from Salvador) at around 14:40 this Wednesday Thursday, 25. Two people had minor injuries and were rescued by a team of Mobile Service Emergency (Samu).
According to initial information, the landing gear of the ERJ, Embraer did not open forcing the landing on his belly. With the impact on the ground, one of the turbines came on fire but was extinguished by the Fire Department. Because of the accident, the runway is interdicted.

Initially, A TARDE On Line had reported that the aircraft was carrying 35 passengers, mostly elderly. But a statement from Passaredo, there were 27 people aboard - three crew and 24 passengers. The statement also said that the company was investigating the causes of the event found during the landing today and has sent technicians to the site for investigation.
According to retired Railda Garcia, 66, the shock was great, as people shouted that the plane was on fire. The woman was coming from Sao Paulo to Vitoria da Conquista in the company of his daughter, Viviane Garcia.

Looks like it landed short of the RWY then lost the gear...

Wasn't Continental Express the first airline to ding one up? as I recall, it was a brand new 145 on a training run back in '97 or so...

ASA sucks

Yep we did, one of the early models...Back when training was done on the aircraft, now that hull sits in our Houston training center as a cabin trainer.

Nevertheless, I don't think there's been a fatality on a Emb 145 (at least not in the US). For over 1000 airframes out there doing 5+ legs a day since the 90's, that's a pretty good safety record.

Edit: Actually WIKI confirms
"The ERJ 145 family of aircraft has no reported crashes or fatalities due to mechanical malfunction in over 15 million hours (as of June 2009) of flight time for the fleet.[8] There have been a small number of incidents and accidents involving the ERJ 145."

That's cause the thing runs on Windows 95.

We're the foreigners who have their way with the ERJ. That's a domestic product to them.

What about the 486 processor that runs the show on the 777?

 

[jergar999]

No one wants 50 seat RJs anymore. At least these guys are trying to help.
