Aircrash -- Jet Blue Airlines flight 292 Crashlanding

[ExiledStardust]

That was an incredibly skillful landing.

[conseguidorfly]

ole, ole y ole xaval¡¡¡

[magyari25]

hülye Mazsiii.. meg ismertem a hangodat máláká!!!!

[lpsgal321]

it wasn't bad! that was pretty amazing!

[Eltagi]

I remember watching that drama unfold whilst in a bar in Seattle - it was the day before I was due to fly back to Manchester (UK). Stunning piece of control by those pilots!

[pegasigirl2010]

Um, that's an emergency landing, not a crash landing...

[lukeshurtleff4]

This Video makes me wanna be a pilot.!

[36paperairplanes]

@lukeshurtleff4 Do it! It's fun :)

[tubedudeT2000]

well that wasn't so bad

[AdverbAdjective]

scarebus.

should have used boeing

[sahuvikramindia]

looks like animation in the starting.

[Cytacon]

How did they know the nosegear was screwed up before they landed?.

[JetMechMA]

@Cytacon: How did they know the nosegear was screwed up before they landed?.

JM: There is a video screen called ECAM (pronounced ee-cam) and it stands for Engine Condition and Aircraft Monitoring. It displays system faults in an amber color. This fault read, "Steering Fault" because the steering wasn't centered. the logic was "steering not centered" as received from the BSCU...Braking and Steering Control Unit. BSCU reports to the warning computer which displays the fault. Simple really.

[corollafrenzy]

hey man the front wheels weren't straight and there was no crash landing. I wanted to see a freakin' crash! =(

[tiagojosel]

Does anyone know why the nose wheels where like this way??

[JetMechMA]

@tiagojosel: Does anyone know why

JM: In this case, it was determined that the steering computer was doing a normal self test after gear extention during which it turned the wheels to test the limit switches at far left and right. However the software had it doing this too many times and the travel limit stops cracked...they wore out. Software was modified to eventually eliminate this turning motion after gear extention. Read the NTSB report. People assumed wrong that it was mechanics fault.

[javier032492]

if that pilot doesnt get pussy with that story idk what would!

[amgs79]

this pilot is a hero dammm yeahhh

[emilyxellis]

whats wrong with the gear anyway. im british and i am not sure.

[houshidar558]

@emilyxellis its not facing forward its like basicly turned

[MrJoeBob12345]

awesome!

[pkrishnametal]

he should have been the Time person of the year..but it was given to Bill Gates???/

[stilkus]

thumbs up for this amazing pilot

+11111111111111111111111111

[y2kize]

looked liked the landing gear was sideways, not pointing frontwards

[VisorZman]

just perfect !

[MrRnizio1]

Nice burnout

[neenahboy53]

What I can't work out is how thous fronts wheels end up like they did.??

[CaptainChaos]

That is one fucking amazing piece of flying. I hope that pilot got a medal. He keeps the nose up as long as possible and even after touching down keeps the weight off it by not braking (or very gently). And all this with the nose smack damn on the center line the whole time. Extremely impressive.

And I'm also impressed by the construction of that nose gear. You would think it would snap off or collapse, but no, it held all the way. The wheels or tires didn't even detach...

[MrProTech]

I think all the Airbus Models share the same problems with the following: Landing Gear,Approaching in Bad Weather specially with the A330,just recently Air Canada with an Airbus320 made an emergency landing because the Landing Gear error lights came on but landed normally..Airbus is trying to cut costs by using cheap parts....specially the newer a320's are being Manufactured in China...the problem with Boeing is Stability and turbulences

[TheJaask98]

sure, whos in the cockpit ey?

and plus how can the camera nub know that some tragedy was going to happen?

[msninarose]

Amazing Pilot

[KB24MVP4EVER]

boeing>airbus

[TheJaask98]

It's fsx

[SuperDreamliner787]

@TheJaask98 THAT IS REAL!!! But very well work by those pilots! *APPLAUS*

[MegaNalts]

fake yes it is

[Kelvari7882]

What I don't understand is why they stow the landing wheel at a 90-degree angle like that. In case of an emergency, I'd rather know that the wheel's going to be in position so long as it locks in place. That would've saved a lot of time and hassle in this situation, and may actually save some weight with not needing a recentering mechanism.

[JetMechMA]

@Kelvari7882: What I don't understand is why they stow the landing wheel at a 90-degree angle

JM: It isn't stowed at 90. It wouldn't retract like that. In this case it was turned by the steering computer self test, AFTER gear extention. It was a software thing. They modified the software to eliminate this test. The test was wearing out the internal stops and it jammed at hard over. NTSB report is very interesting.

[YanYan1337]

did the centering cylinder fail or sumthing?

[Mommiwatson]

LIVE LONG LIFE...

[hmccloud]

This isn't really a crash. It's an emergency landing with what most pilots would say is an unfortunate but totally manageable situation. Media calls it crash footage and our gullible and easily scared society gobbles it up.

[deviantzx]

no problem at all.

[freemusicblogg]

God bless this pilot, true master!

[Southwestairlines737]

i remember that scary ass day everybody on board chanting brace brace brace brace!!!! so fukin awesome!!!!!!!

[JavedIsb]

its not Air blue. Its Jet blue.

[xGot2PullThroughx]

bloody hell!

i worship those pilots- they've got skill.

[ExRussian86]

Did you see how late he landed on the runway???

[wazithefreak]

Why did the nose gear turn like that?

[justinjiang]

how did the camera man knows the plane is going to crash, or he has no life and just takin videos of planes landing

[chrissirur]

@justinjiang dude! this crash was breaking news on all news channels, people knew it would crash because at takeoff one of the landing gearsdidnt retract, so from then this plane was followed by the media..

[Jed118]

Wow, right to the bearing race cage.

[hugene13]

this is ridiculous, things like this shouldn't even happen.

[lambogeek]

the whole front tire is like melted down at the end of the video.

[Lemonadie3]

Wow those piolets must be good. That was amazing.

[RichardEllisxyz]

Notice how the grinding front gear only strayed from the centerline of the runway briefly...the last few yards still on the dashed lines of the centerline.......excellent piloting skills.

[alfathomas30]

Stop the hatred guys, both Boeing and Airbus almost have an identical record in mishaps and failures in history. I would not hesitate to ride in any one of them as long as it has a good pilot :o)

[RationalInsanity1992]

wow. props for the pilot! that could have ended horribly.

Jet Blue has satellite tv on their planes. i wonder if the passengers watched the landing?

[ravensfreak0624]

they did!! one commented that it was funny, seeing their own plane make an emergency landing as it happened

[sekushidesu]

actually, they turned off the in-flight entertainment system (which means passengers wouldn't have been able to watch the news coverage), before attempted the landing.

[fyunuskhan]

well Allah helps when you ask Him to HELP ..Its better to go by good airlines nevermind even if they cos t much but nothing i smore imp then saving ur life partners life /family

[bz2384]

If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going. There's a reason Airbus needs government funding to stay in business.

[mudchair16]

brilliant stuff

[Xiber1]

lucky the front landing gear didnt collapse

[XtremeBordom]

@Xiber1 Actually the landing gear was designed by Airbus not to collapse in that situation!

[dontlooktooclose]

pilot was very smart for flying around for awhile to use fuel, makes the airplane much lighter to land thus putting less stress on the landing gear.

[Exagerative]

fucked up that runway pretty bad, aha. if that was a boeing it would have blown up or soemthing shit

[killerzmoney47]

@Exagerative it is not easy if the plane can blow up or crash

[Ormaaj]

Fortunately the gear have are robust enough to handle that. Pretty amazing. That could have been so much worse.

[gabb05]

smoothest landing i've ever seen... the back tires don't even lift any smoke at touchdown... skillz!!!

[ChrisPCrunchy]

At the end the axle grease hadnt even melted of evapourated from the inner wheel hub bearing surfaces. Thats what I call high temperature grease.

[bigman95impala]

HAHA Yes certainly high temp certified!

[bendik3]

sick lucky the wheels didnt fall off or something..

nice done by the pilots tho

[soshowcanihelp]

2 things to say- do you think they got it back to gates??? only joking 2nd thing-i think the next flight of passengers will not happen!

[soshowcanihelp]

good thing no one touched the wheel

[SuperMrBombastic]

why it opens in failure position

[63jaskiratgill]

the pilot was smart

[F1ashFerrari]

yaa man damn smart.....we need Pilots lyk those....to avoid such mishaps....

[sonnysingh03]

all pilots are traind they would of dont it the same way so dont worry

[A7X72]

1:22 was severly bad!

[UnitedAirlines53467]

Did the pilot at least use there speed brakes????

[Kodfy]

Wow what a job that pilot did! just amazing

[cameron91101]

They have dumping protocol on all civil aircraft without it there would be far worse crashes with over shooting runways because of weight and violent explosions.

[qwertylockley]

That wasn't a crashlanding... for god's sake...

[bltrrs]

how much is 120 knots in miles? dont these planes have somthing to let throw out the fuel?

[prussell890]

120 knots is 138.2 mph!! Only military aircraft have the abillity do dump fuel, not civil aircraft for safety reasons!! but they are able to transfer fuel from one engine (wing fuel tanks) to the other!

[bltrrs]

thanks, you I sometimes see when the sky is clear aircraft dumping fuel when they are really high in the sky

[prussell890]

LOL!!! No probs!!! It isn't fuel being dumped, Its the hot air coming out of the back of the engine and reacting with the cold air at high altitudes forming a steam like substance!! U see this when aircraft exceed 25,000 feet approx!!! Then again it may of been a large military aircraft but wouldn't dump fuel unless there was an emergency!!!

[siograeme21]

that's not fuel dumping, it's called contrails, wikipedia,good help

[hosscollar]

There are several commercial planes that can dump fuel. The A320, which is what this plane is, cannot. Instead, this one circled for 3 hours before landing to burn it off.

[siograeme21]

Most aircraft can dump fuel,the only aircraft that dont have the ability to dump fuel are smaller aircraft,like training planes. Cessna 172s /152s etc.

[JetMechMA]

@prussell890: Only military aircraft have the abillity do dump fuel.

JM: Oh gosh, not true at all. Any aircraft must be able to land immediately after takeoff. In order to do that, some large planes have to dump fuel. It's a compromise between building bigger, heavier, landing gear or carrying less weight in fuel. Being able to dump fuel means they can carry more fuel than is safe to land with...because they can dump it. Lots of civ planes are so equipped.

[tjoceasde]

So today (12/28/08) I flew from New York to Ft. Myers on Jet Blue. As I was boarding the plane I took a look at the name. It was "Canyon Blue." It sounded kind of familiar, but I couldn't place it. Then, it hit me halfway into the flight. I later confirmed on wikipedia that the plane in this video is Canyon Blue.

[Wooo0oooW]

oh, sry now i know its true, saw it on another vid

[Wooo0oooW]

is that a real crash or just FSX??

[b190captain]

#1 It is not a crash you tool!! #2 It's real not FSX.

[lolrofl1000]

it is real. it was live on the news. it circles the runway before for hours before landing

[popcomesthecop]

Airbus is a much better plane, than the boeing 737 and 757 by far.

[nonacolton]

ya right, Boeing is way BETTER!

[lolrofl1000]

umm i know this is 6 months later but can you say the same thing today? 2 fatal airbus crashed in the month of june

[oinb]

lol wtf

[kakanogomno]

i wanna be a pilot but...im scared from things like theese

[F1ashFerrari]

Friend........even i wanna be a pilot. Dont worry at max u can die (we can even die in our beds calmly while sleeping)......but till ur in that cockpit.....try ur best to let that bird perch down safely.

HAPPY LANDINGS!

[circusboy90210]

@F1ashFerrari more likely to drown in your bathtub than die as a pilot of a major airliner.

[fatalitez3z]

@kakanogomno u do know a plane is safer than ur car and ur own house

[houshidar558]

@kakanogomno i want to be a pilot also, i have my private license working on multi engine, you shouldnt be scared especially on jet-liners you are more likley to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than on the plane, planes are 22 times safer than cars and pilots of heavily trained for situations like these, this landing is like a walk in the park to those pilots the "usual".

[blakestinks77]

Those pilots knew what they wer doing and they are heros.

[gtatec9]

me too i remember this when i was in 6th grade and i saw this on the news

[Bojitibal]

I remember watching this of the news in 2005!

[travelwafa96]

thank god the survived!

[Xiber1]

airbus doesnt have a good safety record as the boeing does, its quality and longivity leaves a lot to be desired.

[paice95]

it's the other way around. A320 is competing with 737. who has a lot more crashes. think!

[FLT111]

December not September
