China Airlines plane bursts into flame at Okinawa airport

[Kiyani11]

thank God the plane was on the ground :) where are the fire fighters?

[jackd166]

Worlds slowest fire brigade response

[Tutorialreporter]

THIS SHOULD BE FAMOUS!

[Mamedense]

Why did that happen? how the fire started?

[datzfast]

why in the fuck did a crew fall 15 feet onto concreate insted of opening his door and taking the slide? dumb ass,

[venichen1]

china airlines is a taiwanese airline, air china is china's flag carrier.

[bigwill619]

good thing it happened on the ground and not in the air

[AnimationGenius]

Worker 1: Oh snap we got an explosion

Worker 2: Hey look, its China Airlines!! haha

Worker 1: Yeah awesome right? Look at our beautiful ANA planes right next to it

Worker 2: Sweet dude, this is like WWII, but even better. Lets keep this thing burning

Worker 1: *over telecom* "Halt all japanese emergency operations."

Worker 2: Oh man, i still can't believe how good our ANA planes look next to that thing.

Worker 1: Holy cow, the tail fell off. We better do something b4 the press finds out.

!!!!!!!

[lanpetpet7]

ko ni pandai amik video ke tak!!!!mcm bingai jer

[eugene1999119]

I HATE CHINA AIRLINES!!!!

[airfresno]

I believe the explosions are actually the tires going off, the first set of tires ruptured the belly tanks.

[lifeguard4life1993]

@airfresno i agree

[zorilaz]

and the firemen are at MCDonald's?

[adama340]

It's amazing how fast the foam can controll a fire, especially a large aircraft fire.

[incedius420]

At 2:54 you can see another plane takeing off in the background. They dont evan shutdown the runways.

[zelbrecht]

and it didnt come in with a fault(local standby) a nut ruptured the fuel tank and it was only engineers on the bay when it pulled up that noticed

[zelbrecht]

firefighters are 2min respnse max at all intl airports,they obviously werent informed

[heyeveryoneimcool]

I thought airport fire departments got to planes quicker than this...

[Danielyeoh5885]

Fire departments knows what they are doing. This flame was too dangerous for them to approach.

[boeingt]

sum one give me explanation about why the firebrigade showed up when the whole plane was toast?

[scaremenga]

Because if would be stupid to approach a burning aircraft that probably has some.. very explosive.. jet fuel in it.

[boeingt]

oh cmon.. wat kind of xcuse is that. sumone otta put that guy with extingusiher in a fire truck.

[mbarbram]

@boeingt haha...i saw him trying to extinguish the engine with a can of bug spray!!

[NatedoggInWPB]

When you are at a major international airport...its going to take a while for the crews to get there...it's not like the station is directly there....there could be several terminals and crossing runways and taxiways...im surprised it took them that fast to get there

[rzys7789]

its good that it caught fire on the ground,, but I thought the japs are the efficient lot.. or they purposely let the plane to ashes..

[tempest1944]

China Airlines....not JAL or ANA...not Japanese.

[narnyslip]

Obviously the fire and emergency crew were eating sushi and couldnt be fucked rushing to the fire!!! WTF

[WroclawMojeMiasto]

Look at 0:18 there is someone who tries to supress the fire with small fire extinguisher...

[warriorboy1984]

some work for you japanese fucks! haha!

[beatlespersun]

Wow look at 0:51 the explosion blows the pilot out the window!

[Hannoi]

Well, the firefighters sure take their time.

[goldenismonica]

sometimes this happens when a plane is sitting on the tarmat for too long and it overheats and then just burts into flames.

usually planes arent suppose to do that but maybe the plane was old.

or maybe there was some faulty wiring or the gas from the fuel tank ignited.

either way i hope there were no people killed in there.

[ILiveInTrees]

...this makes me worry, if it was a major accident, response times were WAYYY off

[mTANGproductions]

If this were to happen at LAX, we would have put it out before the passengers get out. :D

[simcity3]

Wondering where the fire engines where? they where at the runway because the tower called them there by mistake.

[efesair]

so, at Okinawa Airport one should not expect fire crew to respond. that aircraft could have been easily saved with minor damage.

[AbahZabah]

Japanese must still really hate the Chinese. Fire crew?

[mollyisagooddog]

Where's the fire engines?

[AURORA1961]

fire crew a bunch of wankers

[yosniffy]

oh god, imagine sitting on the plane behind it thinking like what a great scene as we take off

[runwayoneseven]

how come fire trucks were not in the scene? Aren't they suppose to be not more tan 60 seconds away from any accident or someting like that within the airport? btw what happened to this ac that bursted into fire?

[cocio94]

Well, the landing gear didn't actually collapse.. It simply.. Melted away because of the heat..

[vicky271fxz]

WHERE ARE THE FUCKING FIRE ENGINES?

look at the tip of the wing you can see a guy with a hand hold fire extinguisher that he is using on the jumbo jet!

also look when the plane blow up at the cop pit, you can just see the pilot jumping out of the window!

[lostinseganet]

They turned on the jumbo jet it burst into flames and the label it was "made in china" The fire trucks keys was turned and they too will burst into flames. They read the label and what did it say...guess (^_^)

[filipinoboy147]

made in usa!!!! :D

[youta007]

thailand

[conspirecy7]

where the hell is fir crew!

all they do is asking for a pay rise!

[Xxero0]

you- running and screaming WERE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

me- roasting marshmellows.

[snaggowns]

Wow for a Cell phone the quality is pretty good

[patriotgames]

HOLY SHIT! Plane taking off at 2:56! Lucky!

[marinerf24]

first of all i was there in person and the plane was on fire for about 6minbefore the fire trucks came the first explosion was the right engine which what the vid.doesnt show is the windows almost breaking because of the shock of the exploision and the two smaller explosions are the fuel tanks thank god the plane jus landed and had lil fuel on board because that shit wouldve been big i was flying home that day jus 30 min before my flight this happened it was pretty amazing that everyone got off

[rodgerjohnson]

Fire trucks came just in time! to save the DAY!

[obsessong]

Some of the airport personnel act like this is a boring incident they see every day.

[stevenaqualeon]

VERY lucky people...

[dabuggerr]

Recently i bought a chinese portable videogame and to my shock it exploded in my hand. THANKS GOD I didnt get hurt.

[dabuggerr]

Chinese dont wanna spend money on safety coz they want to make everything as cheap as possible. Fuckin idiots. Money grabbing whores.

[shinogoku]

it is taiwan carrier. not chinese

[xOKalIieOx]

i love the guy wiht the little fire extinguisher

[hosupd]

WTF FIRE TRUCKS! Took them WAY TOO LONG to get there! Unacceptable!

[torigolddust]

word.

[S7r0ng3r]

Notice at around 2:56 another plane is taking off as if nothing is happening?

[Cirrux]

how could you tell if it was taking off as if something was happening as opposed to nothing

[S7r0ng3r]

wut?

[dOOrkyydude]

Why was ther a guy just standing by the engine and where are the freakin fire trucks?

[marty2704]

Pilots jump out right at explosion... they can be glad, that they survived....

[Leon112006]

jet fuel is scary stuff.

[KINGDOMoftheORION]

Not to mention the 1st fire truck turns on his hose about 50 ft away from the actual fire, then lets his juice shoot on the tarmac for about half an hour before he finally goes to the FIRE and sprays it. Sheesh. Somebody needs to teach these people some fire safety.

[loserwew]

damn the fire equipment is soo late...

[InfoJunkieHolland]

oh shit the guy with the extinguisher...

what a brave soul...

[khrisf]

the guy with the extinguisher is a hero!

[Boeing1]

they guy with the fire extinguisher is fucking brave !

[maxp0w3r]

If you guys looked at 00.21 and up, there's a crewmember (probably an FA) using his fire extinguisher, as if it would help, a couple of seconds later, it explodes..

[koreamanco]

Chink quality.

Chink Airlines is dangerous.

[cubsfreak716]

racist bitch go to hell

[oswald1973]

Taiwan, not China. Fuck you!

[S7r0ng3r]

China Airlines does have a bad reputation when it comes to safety, but I doubt you have the absolute authority to call it dangerous.

[jospi69]

Look at 00:51 - the Pilot or Co-Pilot climbs out of the window and falls down. Why would he do that when 3 feet behind him there is a chute?

[blessyou321]

Besause the chute area was on fire and high temperature with the captain said.

[peter8488]

Guess I am not the only one, damm those are some slow ass fire fighters, KUDOS to the guy on the ground for trying to put out the fire with an extinguisher he may have gave those lucky people the extra time to clear the plane, that guy needs a huge raise for his big b-alls.

[Inaam]

Wow thats horrible...Hopefully everyone got out safetly. THose firefighters need some training as to how fast they shud move.

[herrfilm]

Wow.SLOOOOW fire response.Scares me,I thought ground crew moved in faster than that...Not comforting at all.

[PlainplaneProduction]

That is absolutely shocking!

[praveengupta]

yeah... the firemen were off for the siesta!!!

[NirreFirre]

Huuuaa!! But the fire fighters seed to be out on lunch.. IMHO

[leprecaun96]

Fire response were slow ass to arrive!!

[Falkirion]

Damn. Amazing footage, you can even tell when the fire reaches a new fuel tank, the flames leap even higher. And the tail section must've ripped the main belly tank because the fire intensified right after it hit the ground on the left hand side of the plane (From the cockpit). Thanks for sharing Edwin
