This problem was caused directly by lazy maintenance workers. I fly on the Q-400 almost everyday and the airline I fly with hasn't had a single hydraulic issue like this because the techs do their jobs properly. Fantastic aircraft for regional flying.

Dude, SAS is a joint venture company of ALL Scandinavian countries including Denmark, and Copenhagen is its major hub for flight operations. Where it is legally registered it is a matter of technicality on which you are trying - rather unsuccessfully - to shows how right you are. Well, you are not.
@Sjusovare2 well you're pretty stupid................. The Q-400 has one of the best safety records of any current airplane model. these crashes are from failures of people, it wasn't inspected correctly. look it up online it was mechsnical error!
Anyone who thinks that sounds like a machine gun has never heard one. It's clearly a camera, very near the person filming. I mean, maybe machine guns sound like that in old video games or B movies, but not in reality.
around 37 seconds sounds that resemble the noise one would associate with a light calibre machine gun, possibly an m249 saw, However its proved to be a camera at 1.24 amazing the power of suggestion eh hehe.
more than likely they knew there was a problem with the planes landing gears before touchdown so they were ready and waiting. notice the camera guys didnt seem too shocked to see a plane losing its right gear.. it was silence as it happened.
@flipakine his gear lights in the cockpit pit would have indicated to the pilot the landing gear was not locked. the pilots and ground crew would all have known in advance that there was a good possiblity that it was going to collapse on landing
jesus,would have gotten a heart attack if i was sitting in it lol.The Dash Q400 normally is a very good aircraft.Flybe or Air Berlin for example have dozen of them in thier fleet flying without problems !!
Not machine gun fire. It's the shutter from a camera, likely from someone standing next to the guy shooting the video. High speed DSLR's can take 5 or 6 shots per second.
I thought I saw the nose start to come up, then the aircraft hit the runway, but it looks under control though, right gear seemed to crumple on a rather light touch down.. what was the finding?
Starboard gear did not lock due to rotten pistons. See offical report at hcl.dk, see section "Redegorelser".2007.Sep9.fullreport. The crew reseated passengers, and in fact propeller blades intruded the cabin, but only minor injuries.
"No, we're not seeing this, Torben - we're just not seeing this!
Torben! It fucking crashed!" (Guy called Torben calls on his phone): "It's Torben - send everything over here, it's crashed, no it's crashed - send everything, EVERYTHING" xD
Yes. But it is not machine gun fire. those are photographers using SLR cameras and they put it on "burst" shooting speed. so with other words the cameras can take up to 5 photos per second. Ideal for aviation phtography or something that will happen very quickly.next time you see a paparazzi clip with celebs you will hear the same sound. hope this will help. :)
This same type of incident have happened numorous times with this type of model. I wouldnt really consider it safe According to SAS registry there have been 9 incidents in less than 2 weeks before it was permanently banned from SAS airtraffic.
@Zirsquishy SAS just maintained them bad, and Colgan air did same thing (with pilot training too). Its very safe when its maintained good, SAS was just just trying to save money from maintenance. Many other companies like Flybe dont have any problems with it.
Maybe if the Dash planes had real landing gears this wouldn't happen over and over? You don't need to be a designer to understand how vulnerable those spider legs can be, and how they need to be absolutely 100 % or you get an accident.

I almost so one crash at Adelaide Airport making an attempt to a crosswind landing. It's left wing almost touched the runway,, surprised landing gear didn't come down on that
Wow, fast fire-department response. Took about 5 SECONDS for fire dept. to see incident, jump in truck, and start rolling down runway! Compare to the China Airlines flight 120 incident at Naha Airport in Okinawa, Aug 20, 2007, where it took fire dept. about 5 MINUTES to respond.
at least in the case of China Airlines 120 all the passengers and crew were evacuated safely in under 90 seconds with no fatalities. True, the plane itself was a complete insurance write off, but no body was killed while waiting for rescue.
"agent004b", yep, it's true everyone got off China Airlines 120 alive (a tribute to the cabin crew's passenger-evacuation skills), but it's also true that the last crew member (captain?) jumped out the cockpit window about 2 seconds AFTER the plane exploded and burst into flames. Good thing he wasn't knocked senseless by the blast, or he'd likely have died of smoke inhalation or incineration, and the incident would have had 1 fatality. And the fire dept response time was just ABYSMAL.
That's true, the Captain was the last one off -as good captains should be- and was escaping down the emergency rope when the plane blew. He was thrown to the ground , under the nose of the plane, which likely shielded him from the worst of it. And true again, the plane mostly burnt itself out before emergency services arrived...
They probably new the geat had not locked and had warned that they could have an incident upon landing. No fire departement is that quick unless already waiting :-)
Now that you mention it, that does make sense. That would also explain why there were multiple camera crews -- both video and hi-repeat-speed still cameras -- waiting at the end of the runway; the paparazzi probably heard the trouble on their scanners and ran to the scene where they hoped the crash would be.
Knowing a bit about mechanics, although I am far from an expert on anything in aviation, I think the side landing gears on this plane look like the legs of Baby Bambi. I.e. if everything is according to spec it probably works (but reality sucks as does airplane maintenance at times). A nice pilot job though, under the circumstances.
Gotta love the chatter between the two guys just when it happens.
A rough translation:
1: It's not true... This is not happening
2: (repeats) This is not happening at all
1: This is simply not happening right now (name)... Fuck! (Pause) He fucking crashed
Also, it is obvious that the pilot knew it might be a crash landing. Look at the firetruck, there is no way they would be there that fast if they hadn't been informed.
How do I know that? Well I've worked as a firefighter :)
Apparently every crash of these worldwide in the past five years has been attributed to maintenance issues. Incorrect hardware, dirty hydraulic fluid, failed dimensional checks.
There was a Businessweek article a few years ago that reported how "black market" parts (used, cracked parts beyond their lifespan with a fresh chrome plating) were making their way into many airliners.
@BoogieWithStew Yeah, but its entirely the mechanic's job to know what parts are going on his aircraft and where they came from.
There was a mandated change in rotor blades to a set 6" shorter on a certain early JetRangers. Some shady person thought they'd be smart and cut the old blades off by 6" to make them look like the new blades and then sell them off, which prompted an inspection of every suspect blade since.
A good mechanic is just as important to safety of the aircraft as the pilot.
@Ranzear Absolutely true. Flybe is the biggest operator of the Q400 (58 inservice, 8 on order) and to date, they have never had a serious accident with one - because they know how to maintain them.
@wottie110 The eternal argument: Whose aircraft is it anyway?
The pilot who flies it, or the mechanic that keeps it flying?
Now if only they paid mechanics for our equal responsibility for the safety of the aircraft, passengers, and cargo, things like this should never happen. Instead the maintenance gets outsourced, thankfully (and for legality) not overseas, while the pilots get paid more every year on threats of striking.
they are the safest in the world, it just as "musicexorcist" says, SAS and Goodrich failed...They did not follow the service manual, and attach wrong pin, which was created for much much smaller airplanes.
The Dash 8 is a very sturdy and well-built aircraft - although, yes, things CAN go wrong, just like with any other piece of machinery. Looks like a landing gear failure, although I'm sure the pilots must have been aware of this possibility via their onboard warning systems + thus they requested emergency landing procedures, including the standby of firetrucks to be ready with the foam. Kudos to the pilots and ground personnel ! This could have been much, much worse.
i know Q400 series was the worst i have been on that plane that crashed only i was on it before this happend on a flight to arlanda from oslo gardermoen
LOL! listen to the machine gun SOUND, ( i know its a camera) and they look at the airplane. Its like hes shooting it down and when it crashes hes like.. Nailed it... xD
Btw i think its okay to make a little fun of it when no one got hurt. XD
There have been hundreds of cases of gear not working/locking before, in all kinds of planes. Admittedly the Dash 8 has had it bad, but apparently Bombardier has acknowledged this and fixed the problem. Also, this seemed to be a controlled emergency landing, from the fact that the photographers seemed to be expecting it...so it wasn't just a freak accident, but the pilot had some prior warning. I still trust the Dash 8 and have flown on the -300 series several times. I love it :)
i think they knew it had a problem the truck was there already..the spoilers were deployed unless its a short field whicj i doubt the spoilers wouldnt have been deployed if they knew there wast a problem
There was a critical pin missing in the linkage, due to maintenance oversight.
It's common knowledge.
And the fact that this airline replaced their planes with the same model planes from the same manufacturer speaks volumes about their confidence in this aircraft.
If you think this plane "one of the safest on record" is crap, then you will never fly.
As you will be hard pressed to find an aircraft with the same takeoff's and landings, with as low of an incident rate as the Dash 8.
You are terribly wrong, this is the safest airplane in its category, Airbus and Boeing have been in much more troubbles with their same sized models.
The reason why Dash-8 Q400 failed in landing, was because during the maintenance, they attached the wrong pin helding the gear in place, which was created for much smaller airplanes. And not so supprising news, the Dash-8 Q400 was to heavy for that pin. Why blame Bombardier, when i t was SAS that made so many people be afraid of flying?
if you're saying the Dash 8 is danish, it is actually Canadian

How do I know that? Well I've worked as a firefighter :)

YOU FAIL!
The Dash 8 Q100/200/300 and 400 is one of the safest plane ever made...
It's a mistake made by SAS and Goodrich. They don't use the right pin where the landing gear is attached...

It has earned the nickname "Crash 8"...

Apparently every crash of these worldwide in the past five years has been attributed to maintenance issues. Incorrect hardware, dirty hydraulic fluid, failed dimensional checks.

@Ranzear
There was a Businessweek article a few years ago that reported how "black market" parts (used, cracked parts beyond their lifespan with a fresh chrome plating) were making their way into many airliners.
BoogieWithStew 1 year ago
@BoogieWithStew Yeah, but its entirely the mechanic's job to know what parts are going on his aircraft and where they came from.
There was a mandated change in rotor blades to a set 6" shorter on a certain early JetRangers. Some shady person thought they'd be smart and cut the old blades off by 6" to make them look like the new blades and then sell them off, which prompted an inspection of every suspect blade since.
A good mechanic is just as important to safety of the aircraft as the pilot.
Ranzear 1 year ago
@Ranzear Absolutely true. Flybe is the biggest operator of the Q400 (58 inservice, 8 on order) and to date, they have never had a serious accident with one - because they know how to maintain them.

@wottie110 The eternal argument: Whose aircraft is it anyway?
The pilot who flies it, or the mechanic that keeps it flying?
Now if only they paid mechanics for our equal responsibility for the safety of the aircraft, passengers, and cargo, things like this should never happen. Instead the maintenance gets outsourced, thankfully (and for legality) not overseas, while the pilots get paid more every year on threats of striking.

@Ranzear but 80% of the over all crashes in this world, is caused by human error...

they are the safest in the world, it just as "musicexorcist" says, SAS and Goodrich failed...They did not follow the service manual, and attach wrong pin, which was created for much much smaller airplanes.

The Dash 8 is a very sturdy and well-built aircraft - although, yes, things CAN go wrong, just like with any other piece of machinery. Looks like a landing gear failure, although I'm sure the pilots must have been aware of this possibility via their onboard warning systems + thus they requested emergency landing procedures, including the standby of firetrucks to be ready with the foam. Kudos to the pilots and ground personnel ! This could have been much, much worse.

It was acctually a crash, the locking of the landing gear was damaged, and this happened numerous times so sas decided to get rid of the dash 8- q400

RazorRabidz 2 years ago
There have been hundreds of cases of gear not working/locking before, in all kinds of planes. Admittedly the Dash 8 has had it bad, but apparently Bombardier has acknowledged this and fixed the problem. Also, this seemed to be a controlled emergency landing, from the fact that the photographers seemed to be expecting it...so it wasn't just a freak accident, but the pilot had some prior warning. I still trust the Dash 8 and have flown on the -300 series several times. I love it :)

you can see the landing gear didnot lock as you can see it moving forward as if to fold away

A little maintenance goes along way.
Obviously this airline lacks quality maintenance people.
Integrity2109 2 years ago
In this case enourmus amount of maintenance is needed. hehehe.... the whole landingear broke !
What a crapy airplane.
Sjusovare2 2 years ago
There was a critical pin missing in the linkage, due to maintenance oversight.
It's common knowledge.
And the fact that this airline replaced their planes with the same model planes from the same manufacturer speaks volumes about their confidence in this aircraft.
If you think this plane "one of the safest on record" is crap, then you will never fly.
As you will be hard pressed to find an aircraft with the same takeoff's and landings, with as low of an incident rate as the Dash 8.
Integrity2109 2 years ago
That is just rubbish from start to end.
Its Common knowledge that the crash-8 Q400 is one of the lowest quality aircraft made.
Sjusovare2 2 years ago
You are terribly wrong, this is the safest airplane in its category, Airbus and Boeing have been in much more troubbles with their same sized models.
The reason why Dash-8 Q400 failed in landing, was because during the maintenance, they attached the wrong pin helding the gear in place, which was created for much smaller airplanes. And not so supprising news, the Dash-8 Q400 was to heavy for that pin. Why blame Bombardier, when i t was SAS that made so many people be afraid of flying?
