Emergency landing at Miami International-2/22/08

[MCHIBullDog]

that was smoother than most normal landings

[nightraidernow]

wow they make it so dramatic lol nothing barley even happened lol

[looneychooney]

the reporter is so fucking annoying

[arkt1k]

riding a wheelie like a boss!

[cduluk]

stupid dumbass reporter.

[FLICKtheUSA]

quality fucking sucks.

Do a few tricks at a glory hole and earn $5 for a video capture device.

[SchnellM3]

fucking badass pilot!!!!

[DRUMMERDAVEKINKADE]

Fuck the American media

[FinalEx3cution]

@DRUMMERDAVEKINKADE It's not the American media that's bad, it's the fucking FOX media that is bad. This is coming from a Canadian...

[ewoods13]

two-six left

[ermollejuo]

The only thing he said that makes sense is he had no idea....

[sanjayd411]

US pilots rock...by far the best in the world!

[Evancho08]

water defuser, makes it look like the tire is flat

[jaydotosh]

lol.. they land and suddenly they get nuked by Russia.

[brent6187]

and thats why i dont travel westjet no way they could get that do

[LuannBrazil]

3:35 *Slow Claps* .... fades out lol

[LuannBrazil]

"Emergency Landing".... "welcome to Miami International Airport ^_____^" Damn media

[ivynenaacd]

Waooooo!!!

[pigkiller7171]

1:05 that news reporter obviously doesn't know what a spray deflector is

[larrybueno]

VERY SOFT LANDING!

[NikitasGuitars]

an anti climactic emergency landing is the best kind of emergency landing!

[wizzair1313]

s80s dont fly to mia

[uberstinky09]

@wizzair1313 if its a emergency they do

[ericsingerthemaster]

MD80

[gypsykingg]

two six left, not twenty six left idiot reporter

[TheWarPlanet]

@gypsykingg Nah i he said "Two Six left which stands for 260 degrees"

[gypsykingg]

@TheWarPlanet TecHnically 26 left does not stand for 260 it could be 264. Just rounded to the nearest 10th degree.

[cody111495]

@TheWarPlanet 26 L is the runway he is landing on.

[TheWarPlanet]

@cody111495 yeah no shit lol...

[m1leswilliams]

@gypsykingg Wow, plane geek getting pissed over something that makes no difference.

Start witha capitol letter, and end with a full stop....Also makes no difference but I'd thought I'd highlight your whingyness.

[gypsykingg]

@m1leswilliams Unfortunately for you, you're a fucking idiot. Each degree make a big difference when doing an instrument approach. But you would not know that seeing that you probably have never stepped foot in an aircraft. Go fuck yourself bitch.

[gypsykingg]

@m1leswilliams I didn't know I was being graded for my grammar on Youtube. So in that case, a comma was not needed before "and" and it should be "I thought I'd" not " I'd thought I'd". Before you call people out for improper grammar, make sure you know proper grammar as well, kiddo.

[yoyoyoyoshua]

first or second time a MD80 lands in MIA

[sxmadrid]

A problem with the NOSE gear, children; that's the wheels at the NOSE end.... as we have told you repeatedly, banging on for FORTY FIVE minutes... this is so exciting. Fuck my, how do you poor Americans deal with the hyperbolic nightmare of television in your country?

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@sxmadrid it's just the retarded media. they always fuck up cause they don't know shit.

[m1leswilliams]

@sxmadrid No their media is right the rest of the world watches propaganda. Tell a Yank to watch Al Jazeera to see the other side of the middle East issues and they think it is run by terrorists.

[Navahoagm63]

Yea, the news makes it sound dramatic. But u know, they have to act serious about it. Nice landing by the pilots.

[Kg277]

I was on that plane as well! kewl!!

Big-media makes a big-stink of all this stuff. This is a basic standard-issue emergency.

[Nitelife30]

3:43 even Twitty is happy lmao.

[TheCessna154Pilot]

*one person slowly claps* "we have a round of applaus here in the newsroom..." round of applaus my ass the parakeet was more excited!

[tombayly13]

I hate it when people talk about aviation as if they know everything when they obviously don't (the news reader).

Really agitates me!

Great piloting, respect to the pilot!

[praetorian2150]

lmao, "we have no idea"

[theanthony345]

i was on that plane!

[BSbrian]

@theanthony345

did you die?

[theanthony345]

@BSbrian no do other wise i would not post this and previous comment

[TERRANCIO]

a 45 minutes perfect landing, the anchor guy was even ashamed that nothing bad happened!

[Thatsajack]

FOX News over-reacting again.

[JET997u]

Is there a bird loose in the newsroom? What the hell is that chirping towards the end of this video?

[prestonlewis]

This is the best video of a TV event I've ever seen. Congrats to the video person.

[DJCamYank]

Is there a parakeet in the room at the end????

[nicknfs1011]

camera man got skills lol

[faosfx]

I'm sure he does, just need a steady hand. I could of done it also but some people on this world are so uncoordinated with their hands, we are all born different.

[TERRANCIO]

@nicknfs1011 yeah, zooming in at the worst moment, we didn't notice the touchdown! -_-

[czakoo]

Great skill from the pilot.i love the way he kept it on main gear so long :)....easy rider.

[jeffbiggles]

typical media.make it worse than it really is.

[Fuchizaa]

You're right. It seems they were hoping for a tragedy. Cunts.

[MrFlightSimVidz]

@jeffbiggles Anything in aviation is big news for a reason... 9/11. Nobody ever knows what to expect. It should be big news, it's not like its a typical everyday occurrence.

[dauerdrucker]

@jeffbiggles what a pitty there had been no dramatic crash with a huge huuuuge explosion and fireballs. thats what fox news wants to comment really

[747LufthansaPilot]

hehehehe^^

we had teh startup and txiid tto the rwy and then . . . amyday lh422 change rwy ,rwy 26 is closed repead rwy 26 is closead. tower where we can make a backtrack? try somewhere you can't takeoff at rwy 26 and tehn we saw from the cockpit this md 80 coming and then we waited 6 hours before we could takeoff at rwy 26

[kikipoo25]

I flew 2 flights that day, but to different locations and a different airline.

[ParadisePuertoRico]

whats the point?

[pelagic6]

Trace, when you say you're going to be quiet and listen, then shut up!! Was it just a faulty indicator or what?

[stevenseagullWTF]

What about TELLING WHAT KNID OF EMERGENCY IT WAS?!

Cause it's not the same if it had a flap malfunction than if it had a total loss of hydraulic sistems (for example)

[stevenseagullWTF]

I meant in the description, so that you know waht you face before watching the video

[scotthpsr]

nearly exact same thing happened to me flying from amsterdam to london, but one of the back right tyres blew off on take off in stead, the scariest time of my life by far, 40 mins flight turned into 2 hour ordeal, the worse thing for the passengers is not knowing what is wrong with the under carriage and obviously hearing the captain say brace for impact was pretty mental!even though it was alright in the end im always a bit scared of flying now!

[rushcrusier29]

The speed on that landings was totally fine. it jus looks fast cause the helicopter is still, and hes going about 140. (normal)

[agentfazexx]

You're so stupid... It came in just fine. This is why you aren't a pilot.

[POLLOrush]

MD80¿?¿?¿?

[lovehocki]

Or an 83, or an 88... some sort of aircraft from that family

[Ben123planes]

looks like an 83 or 82 to me

[forces077]

if it was a deflated nose gear how could they tell?

[loscantos]

can some prof. pilot explain us what was the real problem and comment pilot procedures in this landing? It seems to me as a very safety one

[francis2383]

i think its a low or under pressure nose gear

[loscantos]

yeah...or maybe nose gear is turned to the right isn´t? however.....this pilot is an ace.......thank you for your answer

[izanti]

"The aircraft will try to feather at much as possible" This guy is a jackass

To prove my point even more. He states "the front tire looks flat and you can see the rubber hanging back" That is the deflector to prevent debris or too much water from being bounced up into the engine. The main gears have it too but a little different. All MD-88 and other variants have it including the B-717

[x0Recon0x]

Pfft, no flare? xD a little more would be much safer. And wat a coincidence, I just was playing flight simulator X and I had to do an emergency landing with no engines on runway 26L...

[keduardop]

the gear had a problem

[brant51993]

so what was wrong with the plane?

[pafalee]

something in front tyres.. i think it's deflated..

[duranelton]

nice landing!!!!!

[gankala8]

tht dumb pilot should have gone to ord if its just a nose gear problem this kinda shit happens all the time ... definitely something it hit during the take off roll....

[leimeisei909]

Pretty sure that the decision was made along with experts from the FAA or something. And I'm pretty sure that they know more than you on a subject like this.

[gankala8]

y would the FAA make decisions.... this is a technical problem

[leimeisei909]

Regardless of who made the decision, the video clearly stated that the plane was "ordered" to land at Miami.

And nonetheless, I'm still sure that whoever made the decision to turn around, whether its the pilot or someone on the ground, knows a hell of a lot more about aircraft than you do.

[gankala8]

bull shit... how do u knw wht my knowledge is on aircrafts...

[leimeisei909]

I don't know what your knowledge is.

But I can guarantee you that the pilots and anyone else who was in charge of the decision to ground that plane has much more experience and education in the field than you do.

Being an enthusiast (which is you) is one thing, but these people are professionals and have been flying aircraft and making these decisions for years. If you think you're qualified to make a decision on flying a plane with a broken nose gear, then I laugh.

Stop wasting my time.

[rcflying53]

gankala8...you are an idiot. If you knew anything about flying or aircraft, then you should know that Miami was a great place to go and there wouldn't have been enough fuel on board, to fly at the landing gear extended limitation speed, to make it to Chicago. Don't comment on something you obviously know nothing about. Go back to playing flight sim and let the real flying be left to us professionals.

[rcflying53]

Leave it to the media to act like they know whats going on. The black thing you see behind the nose gear tires is a spray deflector to keep water, snow, ect from spraying into the engines and cabin air inlets during taxi, takeoff, and landing. What is unknown to them, is anything about flying.

[captainadam777]

The the number 1 rule of Flying is safety first. So they made the right decision.

[jacob789456]

pretty sure the pilots and the FAA know a lot more than you do about flight. They did what war right. Don't call someone dumb when they are smarter than you...

[rumagri]

So, it is, to expense to make space at front, they can put another whell, behind the normal, to make emergency landing like this, sure this xtra tire will works, manualy, not automatic, maybe, helps a lot, instead a waiting for a miracle, like this, you never know, this one was excellent, but the next????, sure will be more

[Jacobdead]

bird in the backround

[theshadypilot]

The buggie was happier than anyone else!!

[ermollejuo]

that's what pilot are trained for... excellent

[snofagun1814]

the camera man sucked, they were so focused on the front they need to show the whole plane when it's landing, why's there a bird chirping shoot the bird

[Juanes4345]

Que buen aterrizaje

[DigitalGrotto]

Why did the anchorman bring his budgie to work?

[AirTranAirways717200]

great landing!

[voderick]

Probably was the nose gear not in a locked position, or maybe one red light from this gear.Most of the times is there only an EL problem.....

Safety first like in this landing.

No dead PAX so i gues that the TV News team was disapointed....

[candpman]

I find it quite disturbing that at 3:34 the commentator sounds rather disappointed that the plane lands safely

[poelaertpieterjan]

its fox, what do you want:p

[Gunner7121]

its actually weird that fox was reporting real news

[youngestpilotinGa]

verry nice job

[hockey6671]

to bad it didn't crash i wish it crashed

[redshirt012]

y would u think something like that

[lachantaka2]

yeah and that you would have been inside..better

[Gunner7121]

inside alone with all of the other jackasses of the world

[t45ol55]

omg

[crazysunami]

toward the end there is there like a bird inside the helicopter or something?

[moezz]

it was shot from a tv and they probably had a bird by the tv or something

[alexi2341]

i need to laugh.

[aaroncar]

Funny how the news reporter calls that crap MD-80 a "thing" in a sarcastic tone.

[onthenetgear]

md-88 to be exact

[terryk1233]

not an MD-88, only Delta operated the MD-88s. MD-80, 82, or 87

[onthenetgear]

yeah, this plane seem not as long

[FrisoLustig]

It's American Airlines and at the moment they operate just MD82 aircraft. I believe more they have more than 200 planes at the moment

[vb6wiz]

i bet that news asshole was disappointed the plane didn't explode in to a ball of flames.

[elmayimbeNy]

You already paid for th oxygen ones you have paid the ticket its included with TAXES hahahahaha There not Dumb

[zenmachinefilms]

Great pilots.

[mparker1010]

I always travel AA...look at every other airline. Delta had a door fall off, jet blue had way more serious gear problems, continental has sewage back ups and crappy planes and American, well they had on minor gear mishap. Weigh the options.

[lorenpbishop]

I could swear I can hear a parakeet at the end, cheering the plane on.

[newslamp]

Your are correct, Sir!

[finalapproach42]

That TV Guy had a tiny little orgasm...

[alimite]

LOL, i neve travel in AA

[SURV100]

Smart. I don't either.

[alimite]

you have to pay extra money for the "food"

[SURV100]

Not only food, but what about that woman who died because of empty oxygen tanks, etc.? I guess we have to pay for oxygen too and a defibrillator. I wonder if the drop down masks had oxygen or if that is a facade too. AA may have been regal once, but something changed.

[ERAUPRCWA]

READ more about what really happened, you can't always believe what you hear from the news.

[SURV100]

Well, I have read the American Airlines FA website and apparently, the FAs were forced to take massive pay cuts while Gerard Arpey and put huge bonuses into their pockets. AA is also having many problems and is now cutting back 11% of its flights and charging $15.00 for the first bag checked. They also had 3000 planes grounded for a serious maintenance problem -- faulty wiring. AA management knew those planes needed maintenance but they let people fly anyway. I feel bad for the employees.

[ERAUPRCWA]

again, don't listen to the news... Arpey isn't the only airline CEO taking bonuses. Not only AA is charging for bags. And faulty wiring my ass, they had to be in line with the FAA AD to which the airline was not compromising safety. It had to do with the ties of the wiring being so many inches off of what the FAA considers okay, because of the Southwest incident where the FAA screwed up they wanted to make a point about inspections. Stop listening to the news you will only get bad info.

[SURV100]

I read that the Continental CEO is taking a pay cut for the rest of the year to save Continental. Arpey has AA dangling by a string. Interesting what you wrote about the wiring.

[hotyute]

hmm.
