Aircraft goes for a swim

[Jauway]

idiot plane........thinks its a fish!.......RETARD

[gustavo87467357]

lol ghost plane

[OSS732]

. PROBABLE CAUSE: "The pilot's improper decision to plan a flight to a runway of insufficient length, his improper in-flight decision to land on that inadequate runway with a tailwind, and his failure to obtain the proper touchdown point. A factor in the accident was the tailwind condition."

[OSS732]

what a stupid pilot.

[ButteKha]

i think the airplane went in survival mode after unloading its passengers, just like the plane revs upp the engiens and heds towards the shore, Shame it doesnt make it!

[pokos57]

plane goes swim and people return to GOD

[inside98]

He renamed his plane to OY-WET

[Arvak777]

lol jet ski!!!!, though pretty scary to experience that, i thought it would have lifted off and crash somewhere else, or the entire jet explode

[SOCKOdude]

At least no one was killed lol as I typed this the engine started to power up. WTF did he not shut the engine down or did it restart by itself?

[imlaco]

I know the pilot. He graduated from a famous Mohamed Atta Flight School, aka MAFS. Retard!

[CommanderDenton]

Next time he'll think twice about landing with tailwind and an airport where jet's aren't even allowed!

[MOJONIXION]

the plane is in good shape for hitting the water.

[manulasat]

Dit is onderhouden vliegtuig 6 maand in 1 jare dat in lucht gaat you moter

[cba999casey]

the pilot was diabetic.

he says now , how the hell i get here in that water.  im sure i turnd right straight to the parking.

[RunningSwimmingMan]

This is what happens when you get these pilots whose only training was graduating from Acme Flight School.... The guy didn't even shut the engine down... They have checklists for these things... Definitely never served in the military...

[CommanderDenton]

You don't need a checklist nor any military experiance to flip the god damned Fuel Cut-Off switch. :)

[glitchfinder3]

lol

[francobobfred]

how did the engine start back up?

[CommanderDenton]

FADEC.

[rushiiru]

swimmin'!!

[intelite]

That is sooooo sad! What was the pilot thinkinggggg???????

[Willsonater6]

If you pause it at 39 seconds you can see the plane hitting the water!!!

[bozothefighterpilot]

did anyone tie ropes behind the plane so people can go water skiing?

[msav111]

"maybe it'll taxi back up on land" wow....

[lollipop355]

nice swim

[emilrules101]

they should probably have rocket launchers just to get rid of the plane easily

boom=no more plane thants literally swimming

[DragonWingZero]

Titanic

[SuperGeorge13]

OMG, the autopilot still works LOL!!!

[gtvapsamtik]

omg nice recording

[xmodalloy]

if the engine had gone under it could have shreded the compresser blades and engine parts could have gone everywhere.

[Topjacket]

If he had just pulled back a bit more on the piss flaps he would have landed that with no drama.

[NorthWestSimulations]

Dude, He was landing like 15kt with gusts of un at tail downwind. I doubt that he could have slowed down egnouph without stalling to prevent that drama. The only way I could see is if he landed within' the threshold of the runway. Which as im sure you know could be just as dangerious as what he did. It was good to see all the people made it out safely.

[Topjacket]

I still recon if he had just pulled fully back on the piss flaps it would have been fine.

[jayshantz]

haha thats the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[jetstorm747]

It's rare for a commercial plane to land safely on the water. Maybe the plane wouldn't of sunk if the landing gear were retracted.

[Askelairlines747]

what do you call that eh?

taxiing in watar! the jet LITTERALLY SWIMMED

[Incuby]

looks like fishes wanted to fly too ^^

[Askelairlines747]

^^maybe

[Askelairlines747]

man everybuddy must've SHIt themselves

[premiermc]

the fireworkers are so fast loooooool

if this would be serious all people would already be 1000 times dead before the morons arrived

[UnderPressure2134]

lol that guy is one crazy sona bitch

[sngldad]

i've secretly always wanted to see a plane crash.

[JCardenasS]

Airport is Atlantic City-Bader Field, NJ (AIY)

Airplane was Citation 525 Cessna.

PROBABLE CAUSE: "The pilot's improper decision to plan a flight to a runway of insufficient length, his improper in-flight decision to land on that inadequate runway with a tailwind, and his failure to obtain the proper touchdown point. A factor in the accident was the tailwind condition."

Sources: NTSB & Aviation Safety Network

[rocansj]

Th weather was pretty bad for landing that plane.. Maybe better weather could save he plane. But pilots great job saved passengers lives..

When the engine started again at full throttle I thought the engine blow up with all the people in boat.. Heat from engine and cold water in it could made a dangerous combination!

(sorry for language)

[airbus94]

Why did the engines power up like that?

[911adamboy911]

Well when electronics touch the water when they shouldn't things like that happen.

[airbus94]

oh ok so it sort of short circuted.

[flyboy8492]

no, a short cicut will make a short burst of a lot of power, not enough to make it go for that long. con't you see they turned it around, not something you can do with a small boat. but you can pull it with a small boat.

[Kauboy84]

beacuse plane wanna swim more!

[airbus94]

haha its an ATV all terain vehicle, It flies drives and SWIMS LMFAO

[gcurtism]

OMG, keep watching, wtf are you doing, I know its an expensive plane, but seriously don't you already have more money than brains.

[Urbanz1975]

Nevermind, I found it on Google Earth, its Bader Field

[Urbanz1975]

What airport is this?

[TriClydesdale]

That'll make a great new Disney ride.

[HamburgerJungCarl]

(read other comment first)

So the shutdown might explode the engines. Then the piolts job is to open the hatch for the passengers to get out, which he did correctly. Then they were saved. The autopilot plus nav are still on. the planes engines give full power to get back to a airspeed of around 200 knotes, but beacsue the oe engine already failed, only one went crazy. Lucky for everyone around, beacuse with two engines it will have crashed at a higher speed into the grass or houses

[HamburgerJungCarl]

it was a cessna citation jet 3. That has as a standard a full flight management system. On such bad days, you let the nav approach and almost set down. I think then for some appaerent reason there was panik and the pilots did eveything, trying to get the plane on the ground. When they saw they had to go around, they left the nav on, because t does the perfect turn and puts you bak infront of the runway. Then, they dropped into the water, where tey had put engines on idle. (shutdown might explde)

[minzal01]

stupid Pilot...

[kinsley2108]

That guy... is one... crazy son of a b!#@# he had to approach from the other side.

[k9sabian]

lol jet plane to jet boat!

[halofreak200715645]

how is he going so slow when he has JET ENGINES?!?!?!?!?!?!

[cationmoted]

wow

[monkeymichel]

probably because it's not a boat.

[halofreak200715645]

yes... but they are jet engines, but maybe drag has something 2 do with it, so u could be sort of right.

[Doowoo]

jet engines can do reverse and the jet had spoilers ;)

[halofreak200715645]

what does that have to do with it?

[vectrect]

lol how they get it out

[extremeorigami]

you would have rather brown trousers if you were sitting in the boat by the engine! That could have been not the best day that they'd ever had.

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

That's absolutely bizarre. I'd love to hear from a qualified pilot as to how this could have happened. How could that engine have gone from idle (or stopped) to full thrust? Water causing a short in electrical system? Something forced against throttle control cables from water coming in? Amazingly, both engines appear to be salvageable...and at over $100K each, that might make the pilot feel just a little less stupid.

[kinsley2108]

My guess is the water shorted the circuits, that would make a great washing machine.

[kinsley2108]

The pilot probably left the throttles on full when he left the plane to attempt a go round, once the starter circuits were shorted, it was useless.

[senuneena]

brace heads down

[xxxyorks]

Those guys had a LUCKY escape - it could have been so much worse. Apart from that, great vid.

[hftfire]

To think this person was licensed by our FAA for his judgement to make "proper" decisions when confronted with challenging circumstances... ah... "What direction was the wind blowing!?!" "Ah, maybe if I gun the engines no one will here me as I SAIL to the shoreline and taxi back to the hanger!" I would love to read his 'version' of the report he/she submitted to the NTSB! Is enough listed here to concur every comment before me? I don't know... maybe it's just me!

[moumou1988]

This engine wasn't correctly shut down !

[1hotgurl16]

this in runescape is what u caled OWNED lol

[watnameisnttaken]

this is what i call "dumbass" in runescape

but i stopped playing that, even I am not that nerdy

[benzachary]

id like to know more about where and when this happened

[182driver]

5/15/2005 was the date of the accident report. The pilot was a 61 year old private pilot who had an airport diagram for that airport attached to the yoke with indicated the jets were prohibited to land there.

The airport is KAIY Atlantic City Municipal Airport.

The NTSB report is interesting reading.

[jrkepler]

I thought they refused to give pilots a liscense after the age of 60.

[jetdriver45]

nice job!

[RareHz]

How did the jet get going again?

[geohack]

Pilot --> Owned lol.

[cutasscrew]

this is absolutely halarious.. what a genius lol

[AndrewGomez92]

idiot !
