Tradewinds 747 Wreck in MDE

[skengdon]

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.

the reversers didn't seem to be deployed til very close to the end of the runway.(#1 was the engine failed)
And the flames prolly could be from debri entering the engine....?

$$hit happens...Even to the best. I hope the crew walks away clean from this. It is unfortunate for anyone to experience an incident such as this. Best of luck to the crew involved.

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!

Couple thousand more and it looks like they would have been able to get it stopped. Good luck to the crew.

Video Needed

Hey did anyone download and save the video? I can no longer access it on that web site, getting an error message. I've got a buddy of mine that wants to see it and is having the same problem as I am, when he tries to view it on the web.


Thanks

From the pictures I've seen it doesn't look like any of the engines were in reverse?

You obviously haven't seen all the pictures.
