Ilyushin IL-18 Aborted take off

[nachosnbeer]

He really had to go...

[PlaceBoInternational]

at least he held the camera steady.

[boogalooshrimpable]

was macht die DHL in africa? 2:52

[kieron125]

nope, what really happened was the pilot forgot his sandwiches so he decided to stop and go back to get them :)

[1899lpv]

Shildrenn, We ah' having white meat fo' suppah.

[xTomcatsForeverVF84x]

I just love how the sand did more help than the workers.....

[TheMrmujid]

yaa yaaa that's africa style, poor security n safety system around the runway, bad ass.

[johncolinmclay2]

Well at least the sand put out the gear fire ......

[vahjayjayaddict]

it's obvious this craft is made from metal or some other heavy composite. what did they expect? God never intended for anything manmade to fly in africa.

[lorinczm]

@vahjayjayaddict You sir, are an idiot.

[citroenfav]

but will it blend

[jeffhardylysia]

@citroenfav No...

[fsxfromnorway]

How can you say that you don't know why they aborted the takeoff when you see that the landing gear was glowing red and sparkling? Isn't it obvious what happend?

[akomni]

@fsxfromnorway Lol it's glowing red because they were aborting. The heavy brakes were hard on the wheels; made em real hot.

[BQZip01]

@fsxfromnorway It's pretty obvious they applied max braking, but it isn't obvious WHY they did that

[MyEmpire91]

the african dont resuce and help, they first make some photos :D awesome

[lorinczm]

@MyEmpire91 What's there to rescue? The aircraft came to a full stop, tire fire was put out by the dirt, and the engines were shut off.

[jamesregmorris]

Well done that man!

[sketchyinc]

The Piolet did a good job! The Plane could of hit all those poor children that are starving to death!!!

[austrorus]

these are then the occasions when the pilots earn their salary.

[waggable]

*waggwagg* I'm a giant dog and I give this video thumbs up!

[plankingisgay1992]

the sand here played an important role

[TOPGUNCANADA00]

camera man did a good job pretty close to the action, good thing he aborted that take off....too many damn birds flying around there, maybe gets some hawks around

[superality]

at the right place, at the good moment

[popmaly]

all are filming no one helps

[cupwithhandles]

I think the Ilyushin IL-18 is a beautiful aircraft.

[fergus247]

the breaking was what caused the fire. the reason for breaking is unknown

[kevinyuni]

why did it get aborted ????

[dcrj46]

You can hear the tires blow at 1:23

[kwilson4961]

the pilot needed to go to the bathroom or he forgot his wallet

[damagecontroller]

Very brave camera man!!

[Tafe1988]

meine fresse... und der kameramann steht lässig daneben.... ^^ xD

[aqw4009]

for one you just cant take a flaming tire in to a air craft and hope the plane dosint blow up!

[Georgieisaporgie]

Just gonna casually video this take off, OH HOLY SHIT!

[SzkudlarVEVO]

what a drift !

[PreppersTactics]

this is why i dont fly west african airlines

[Juggernaut30]

The pilot forget his vodka!

[nicobolso]

long distance turboprops still exist?

[MrWellingtonvieira]

maybe it was because of the birds that appear in the video seconds before the sudden braking...

[kukac1212121]

How did you filmed it in 2009 if the video was uploaded in 2008?

[TheParsonsRS]

@kukac1212121 Th eplane was spotted in July 2009 AGAIn.

[Extermetal]

That was the brakes catching fire

[aholatom]

Damn youth making noise and burning rubber! :=)

[Striker2595]

Thats a really old plane

[RedMR2W3]

Crazy footage, think the camera guy was pretty lucky to get not knockoutet from a flying stone at the end when the Propeller hit the sourface... O-o

[stevebeds]

Excellent footage!

[bigbadbenable]

@wilsonjon feathering a prop is a procedure that is usually performed if you have an engine failure in a multi engine prop aircraft, it's basically where the prop blades are rotated so they are in line with the passing airflow, so they are not generating any thrust, but not creating much drag. If the pilots had simply feathered the props, there is no way the aircraft could have stopped in that shorter distance, from what I can tell, it looks like they were reversed

[bigbadbenable]

That's gonna be a bitch to recover!

[JoeInCT418]

@wilsonjohn don't understand your question? you don't think they feathered their props, or you don't know what feathering the props means, or you know what feathering means and you disadgree that they did it?

[JoeInCT418]

Looks like he hit a line of debris which blew all his tires, most noticeably his starboard strut, whose tires both caught on fire. Truly a great job by the pilots, who reversed thrust on their turbines and feathered the props. The fact that they had an 8,000 foot runway and a soft apron didn't hurt, either. That IL-18 used up one of its cat lives!

[wilsonjohn]

@JoeInCT418 feathered the props?

[GRPCREA]

The helping personal take first a video from this crass.^^

[howardgreenwood]

Flock of birds at the end of the runway that took flight during the take off roll, if i had to put money on it, but im not sure.

[GarethNIreland]

lol @ the 'emergency' response. Pilot deserves credit

[ROMAS53]

шасси лопнуло 

[hanz69ova]

wow

[petsell93]

meanwhile in africa...

[catsyfamous4areason]

I think the only near miss accident here was the camera falling out of this persons hands with the amount of movement FFS

[snaip]

@catsyfamous4areason I think it's just you who's shaking~

[SirJackRyan]

what a surreal footage!

[puketinho]

why pilot didnt open escape slides for the passenger can be an explosion occure. what a luck, there was an earth extention and not a see.

[dieseltrainfreek]

Think he need new brake pads lol. :)

[MrThebarneystinson]

2:31 , he like the situation ? :P

[TinnInches]

This shot in Atlanta?

[jon2x24]

looks to me that the pilot run out of runway for take off, count how many seconds from the moment the dust blew off behind the propeller (from the beginning of the take off) usually an aircraft takes off after 40 seconds max after the full throttle but the pilot obviously aborted on about 35 seconds and running short of run way.

[ian8354]

Pilot heard there was a SALE on at his local supermarket so decided to stop and go back..............

[AnkhorDraven]

@ian8354 Aren't there sales in every market?

[ian8354]

@AnkhorDraven This must have been a Mega Sale because he had to abort......

[AnkhorDraven]

@ian8354 No, just no.

[666soevil]

THATS A BAD ASS PILOT

[herb420ful]

birds

[muambe]

@Alexvideoclip: what striked me is that he didn't rotate, he had no visible flaps on, and it was windy yes BUT, look at the dust around the plane at the end of the runway... he was taking off with BACK WIND!! So, he he was a bit overloaded, underpowered, with the wind in his tail... result is there! But good job on saving the plane anyway!

[isgaymer1]

Rejected Take Off

[gonetoworkbbackin5mi]

Maybe IL-18 peice of crap?

[Fan5bk1]

Oh man! The Crew had make a nice job! Is a verry good Captain! God had a seat on this cockpit!!!!!

[JRGFY]

that pilot sure looks like a licensed professional.

[GunsMoreGunsAndStuff]

was that the plane reversing 2:10 ?lol beep beep beep beep

[ThePretoboi]

this accident happened in Angola in Cabinda city, the aircraft belongs to the same company ALADA ANGOLA

[MadUek1]

Good job, dirt killed the fire...

[MrrAlibabaevich]

One of the oldest planes park in the warld is in Afrika with no techsupport and higest crash exidents. I'm sorry for russin , ukrainian and other pilots who signed to wark in that part of warld...

[wtronictube]

Parabens para o piloto, avião e câmera!

[WeLWets]

in soviet russia, they even start from sand : S

[Sp33dDem0n1]

2:43 Somebody is dieing laughing lol

[pentremansion]

russkies make great aircraft they just need americans to fly 'em

[DmIxProductionZ]

LOADS OF BLACK PEOPLE !!!!

[SuperBrainyboy]

now the pilot realizes he cant take off? man these guys are uncoordinated

[Keraidy]

Supper pilot

[Keraidy]

Supper pilot

[NielsLars]

Must be some tough landing gear. What caused the abort?

[CRsBeem]

@NielsLars Looked to me like a blown tire...or two. The pilot did an excellent job.

[Lostkiwi123]

@CRsBeem I'm sorry but what?? with the length of runway left there is no way he should have tried to stop there even with a blown tire, he could have done an emergency landing but that could have been so much worse here. Also, I love how all the safety people first get their cameras out to take photos hahaha

[pgergely13]

@CRsBeem

I think the tyre blown up due a hard braking when he try to stop.

[Tomskii5]

@CRsBeem Could also be the brakes that got too hot because of the aborted takeoff. Anyways lots of maybe's :)

[nubian12201]

it is not zimbabwe. the aircraft has an angolan flag. this incident took place in cabinda, a province of angola.

but this should not come as a surprise especially for us who work in myriad african airfields and deal with all types of russian and western made aircraft

[tokyokyo2]

incredible !!

[bitemysausage]

FUCK you rupchuk!

[24SevenAviation]

ahh those russians....

[MiLoTi85]

Thank god that the end of the runway was MOD and it just went right in to it cuz other wise it could of been some serious explosion ... thnx for sharing very intresting videooooo

[Fliying6]

i guess maybe abort for these birds.

[Fliying6]

ooops, it was amazing, airplane does not broken, is very strong, good video

[polak4lyf]

wats the chances that the plane u tape taking off is going to crash LOL

[xthaman64x]

whoever filmed this was lucky....luckly the plane didnt go in his?her dierction hahaha

[connectneeraj]

pilot did the great job!

[tejavia]

The IL-18 is a great airplane, made in Tashkent. I doubt it was DHL with that Zimbabwe commie flag or whatever it was on the side.

[lotanerve]

Fire retardent sand...good idea.

[Allzthedevil]

@rosserver Hey STFU, I would be one of the rednecks your talking about him hating, and I fully see how he could hate idiots like the people i see around me everyday -.-

[mrlordwar333]

dam... those brakes got hot....saved the plane thou... good job.

[york1O1]

i bet he pooped himself

[pckid73]

Wow, nice video!!!

[kirk2425]

Being a freight pilot all i can say is that they did a good job. Nobody was killed and the aircraft is intact.

[GoatBarn]

The strength of the landing gear is amazing when you think of how much force is on them when running into the soft ground, let alone the torque caused from trying to stop. Wow.

[Motac1981]

The pilot noticed some problem and aborted the takeoff. So, he had to brake. As the plane was fast and the brakes had to work hard, they torched (you can see the smoke in both brakes).

And, about Russians, I only can say: GO RUSSIANS!

(Yes, in Brazil we love Russia)

[RHCP9181]

"Its Russian" hahahahahaha I like everyone have nothing against Russians!

[DancingSpiderman]

@RHCP9181 I enjoyed the use of the phrase "it's Russian" in the movie 2012 when the Russian millionaire boards the Antonov 500 cargo plane

[dddouggodly]

omg these people are not to smart.this is y people die

[drifter503]

That's pretty interesting... I wonder what happened...Those russian aircraft are some tough planes though. I'm sure they had it flying soon after this.

Thanks for posting

[andgate2000]

Lucky lucky lucky.....smokes coming from the tires under braking...fire is from the brake linings.....but what made him abort????

[elvarbuk]

Russians Pilots are wery skilled but im noy so shore that all the planes (And the fire truck) is in good shape NOTHING WRONG WHIT THAT exept that i think that this is happening more offent then on the american 737 or airbus (Im from norway so i dont realy cares):P:P:P

[elvarbuk]

@elvarbuk Agree:P

[elvarbuk]

Hes landing gear began to burn:P, what the heck happen.

[bait28]

@incongra because you put spy satellites on us and almost nuked us in the cold war!

[nigelmtb]

I love how a video about an aeroplane sparks pure vitriol from everyone. Why is every video, no matter how mundane, full of racist, abusive comments? Weird...

[Sgt6172]

Wow

[TheUSMCE4]

@incongra redneck republicans? hahaha, Dumbass liberals are the problem.

[pissonyou666]

I think the dark ones are storming the plane to steal the hubcaps!!!!!!!

[EtniesCope]

It's sick!

[JutManG]

The reason is plainly obvious, the flaps were never set. If you look at the wing it was completely flat. He realized it as he started to pull back on the stick and nothing happened so he hit the brakes.

[makehoo]

nice plane and cool video, good job!

[fabzonline]

WOW!! This is an excellent video.. How come you were filming it?? What were you doing there.? Thanks for posting. I invite you to see my video of the fate of a TU-154 (see my profile to access my video)

[oluping]

Häää... Ein DHL Angestellter bei 2:53 !?!

[CMANTILLAC77]

congratulations by oportunity film.. im sorry for crew. best regards from BGA Colombia !

[muambe]

It often occured in N'Dolo (Kinshasa) where the runway is short, the air temperature is too hot and the plane mostly overloaded ...

[incongra]

@muambe good comment and likely to be the real reason.

[Alexvideoclip]

@muambe but it was windy, easier to take off.

[muambe]

@Alexvideoclip ... but de wind came from the tail thus very bad to takeoff! See the dust at the end of the runway, it follows the plane instead of going back...!!

[pass558]

wtf happend ??? why he stoped

[RealityCk62]

Any other less tougher airframe would have probably broke apart. They built them tough.

[KPbICMAH]

Great way to extinguish those burning brakes! :) I wonder if they deliberately pulled off the runway (for easier slowdown) or just ran out of tarmac? P.S.: Surprised to see the old bird still in service (I've only seen one IL-18 ever, and she can still be seen sitting on a pedestal in my city). :)

[migass]

holy s#iT!! that was so clooooSE!

[RailfanJames]

Wow, I bet the maintenance department had a LONG day ahead of them after that Right Main brake fire

[Prickler32]

I'll bet that was scary as hell!

[brettv8]

Maybe a dumb question but how could you help without a ladder? Or without being pureed?

[jerrygreg2]

@incongra Yeah, I can imagine! I saw it all when Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet Al Megrahi was sent home to Libya.

I was just being naughty!

[wyzarme]

holy shit that pilot had balls, nice job for saving the aircraft!

[panadevulpe]

lucky guy with his camcorder . could have been just another take off. like he knew

[europeanssuckcock]

bald tiers?

[DetEJagDe]

Registration on the aircraft?

[triathlete77]

Yeah, lets take photo's instead of helping. "Nah, I wanna be in this picture! You were in the last one!"

[blackhawkce]

@triathlete77 HILARIOUS!

[Zuurkool1]

what was there to help

[sportzboy895]

wheels got jammed

[creapalicios]

Haha the wheels caught on fire Artards

look at 1:35

[cool2040coasters]

no offense but wgy does russia still use propellers jet engines run faster

[ChiCan76]

Nice work! I love Russian planes...biggest baddest landing gears ever

[gerorozco]

Looked like he had a blow out. Great job getting that airplane to stop!!!

[Sodiumreactor]

Why did he abort? Good job saving it. Doesnt seem to be to seriously damaged. Probably flying again by now!

[fetisheye1]

Looks to me like that all worked as advertised, a stop from V1 doesn't mean that you will necessarily stay on the paved surface, clearly the aircrafthas stopped within the clearway at the end of the runway. The calculation takes into account that you may well use that clearway in a critical stop at V1.

[MrZlodeus]

You can hear thetyres on the starboard main gear explodig at 1:22

BTW, nose titles notwithstanding, this is actually not a IL-18 but a (former) IL-22 airborne command post stripped of mission equipment - note the fin tip pod which regular IL-18s do not have

[aWiibitcrazy]

Maybe he aborted because of the birds?

[arissss1962]

Il-18 is a Russian plane which was an absolute superstar of this generation.A highest quality plane after all possible features.Flew by Il-18 when i was a child.

[Martins219]

He meant to do that, he was just parking it at the far end of the filed....his comment after opening the window..."Vlad...Vlad....I told you, you should have changed that tire. Popov is gonna snap when he hears about this"

[Unclesamslair]

@Martins219 lol. only on youtube.

[bobbles799]

fantastic

[benitz]

Maybe the pilot forgot his wallet in restaurant and didn't realize until the take-off......maybe

[Laevi1337]

@benitz that seems probable

[slh950]

@benitz so he blew the tire telepathically?

[tina130785]

maybe for technical reasons he was unable to take off!!!

[assramistan]

Camera man was f'n dumb standing there like that. He just barely missed being taken out by rocks batted by the propellers and had they dug in he would have been finished for sure.

[Clerence1969]

I think, to extinguish the wheel fire, it was the best he could do, to bring the plane off from the tarmaced runway to the sand field.

But, godness, how long takes the fire brigade to get there! You only hear theyr siren for an Eternity! This accident wasn t a catastrophy, thank God, but the Desaster Management there IS a catastrophy...

[Pcapelas]

Shit!

[Xurshio]

its all fake

[drummerkid69]

holy shit.

[planes0211]

wat happen wat caused him to stop the plane?
