The scuzziest 74 in the world is a "ten" if she's parked next to an airbus!

Somehow, an old Boeing 747-100/200 with streaks of oil and grime trailing out from the hinges/panels over battered and chipped paint looks more alluring then a spanking new one with a prestine paint job.

There was a post a few weeks ago about some artist chick who was taking an old 747 and converting it into a home. The cost if I recall was close to 2 million.

As long as the crew is OK nothing else really matters. Knowing the Captain and having flown with him I know he made the right decision and thought of his crew before anything else. Good job

Freddy,

From what I've been told, the crew is ok....

I have heard that the MIA FSDO will be out in force as far as ramp checks and observation rides. This is the third a/c in two years involved in an overrun incident that originated in MIA.

Oh yeah, MIA FSDO the epitomy of professional integrity.

Video Coverage

Here is a link to video surveillance footage of the aircraft going off the end of the runway, it's a minute and a half long footage and all the action is in the last 15 seconds, be patient!

Anyone know who the Captain and crew were?

 

[Thedude]

Yes, I do. But it would not be approiate to disclose that info at this time

Was this a high-speed reject? Flaps are at T.O. Note that reverser on #1 does not appear to be deployed. Possibly defered..#1&2 appear to have been producing thrust. Note flames eminating from tail pipe during impact with the ground.
