  • thats a waste

  • WHAT THE HELL WENT WRONG ?

  • why the hell was he trying to land there if it was a closed runway and never open to jets in the first place?

  • Boat / Airplane with 2 high thrust engines!! :)

  • Comment removed

  • plane taking a swim

  • This is the world's slowest Sea-Doo.

  • Cessna Citation Amphibian?

  • And that's how you go from pilot to a mc donalds server :D

  • Considering the findings of NTSB, the guy should be jailed.

  • Nice commentary man.

  • jetboat ?

  • 7:22 if its not obvious - hmmmmmmmmm......

  • That engine restart was wild!! A real oh crap moment.

  • Like they say, "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one!" lol $22 million USD. The Cessna Citation X is a long-range medium business jet aircraft.

  • Like they say, "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one!" lol

  • That is one crazy son bitch!

  • Its too fast

  • He did not cut fuel what a moron thats first day rookie crap. dont care how panic you get follow safety rules or its all for not.

  • The ones recorded this video ,as can be guessed from their comments(eg 'i think he made it'),were expecting some one to land in such a way?

    1was it a test to land in that condition(downwind,wet runway.etc) and the ones recorded this video were among the organizers of that test.2was the plane undercontrol of unskilled ones(young or kids as they do with their parent cars,hijackers.etc)who could'nt follow/disobeying normal landing procedures/instructions(engine­s)and were been followed by officials

  • 2-was the plane undercontrol of unskilled ones(young or

    kids as they do with their parent cars,hijackers.etc)who

    could not follow and/or disobeying normal/safety landing

    procedures/instructions(note:t­he engine running) and was

    been followed by officials?

  • The pilot made some very bad decisions... a tailwind landing on a runway which some claim didn't meet minimums for his equipment is the biggie. Failing to shut off electrical and fuel upon ditching the other. I can't see how the engine would restart unless both these conditions were on.

  • 5:18 is there sombody in there doing that? LOL fail...........

  • Wait....What?  0.o

  • perfectly good equipment destroyed by a bad choice and negligence...

  • very expensive Jet Ski. The passengers and crew very lucky to be alive, however, hitting water is just like hitting the ground. Nosing in would have killed them all.

  • very expensive Jet Ski

  • Wtf! is that a jet in the water comeing towards are house...yes yes it is.

  • Is their anybody in there doing that??? Lmao wtf?

  • "maybe it'll taxi back on land we don't know." Hilarious

  • The citation is a TRANSFORMER !!! lol

  • Great engines though,,, to start and run in the water like that...amazing.

  • nose gear wasnt locked and down

  • @TeenFlyer95 OOOO yeah !!! lol

  • so i landed in water im just guna leave all electrics and engines on okay take his licence man jesus!

  • I stopped flying a few years back but always thought that pilots who get jobs flying business jets are really really good at thier chosen carreer. The fact that this asshat broke soo many basic rules of flying is absolutely ridiculous. One of the things you learn very early on in your flying career is how to go through your shutdown drills in the event of a flight failure.

    I am gobsmacked at how many failures in proceedure this pilot managed to accomplish.

  • Friend Tyler Kavoogian on facebook

  • So my question is; Since he made so many mistakes i.e.: Landing at a "no jet" airport, landing in tailwind, landing 2/3rd's short on runway, not reporting his position, etc. Did the insurance co. pay for loss/damage of plane & passengers? And did his pilot's license get revoked?

    Does anyone know?

  • This guy is flying again with another citation with registration OY-WET

  • Wonder if this private jet was owned by the individual that was on board, or were they chartering it?

  • watertaxi :)

  • @patmatSt lol

  • "Get there"-itis... realbad...

    CEO of the company was probably in the pilots ear to "GET ME THERE and GET ME THERE NOW!"

  • ............and he was Waaaaaayyyyyy to fast over the numbers. shit, looked like about 140 kts, maybe a bit more. what was this idiot thinking? he should have been configured, and MUCH slower. wow..........amazes me the guys who can get a Jet Rating and be behind the controls of one of these machines. they're all lucky to be alive.

  • Apparently not sufficient training or just a plain Idiot or both.

  • The OY prefix indicates it's from Denmark, fwiw.

  • What a complete muppett!! His registration number OY-JET should be changed to OY-WET!!

  • Comment removed

  • Expensive mistake, great footage of the jet moving thru the water! Gads. They were lucky!

  • The runway was wet, he landed directly into a 10 knot tailwind, the runway wasn't rated for jet aircraft anyway, The NTSB report showed throttle at 20% thrust setting after they fished the aircraft out of the bay. He overflew the airfield at 100 feet AGL. He landed about 2/3rd down the runway, this was just recipe for crash. WHERE DID THEY FIND THIS GUY?

  • @umahuma4 I'm still puzzled at how he missed the airport note "CLOSED TO JET TRAFFIC"

  • Comment removed

  • uma bela lancha; o unico erro foi do piloto e torre q altorizo aterragem da aeronave!!!

  • Jets need to be two pilot crews, all of them. If for no other reason than to disagree with the captain on a decision like this. What an idiot. At least he lost his ticket.

  • he didn't even cut the fuel from the engine before evacuating... what a pilot!!

  • @maadvip Sometimes that won't cut it and you'll have to push the firewall shutoff. Water does funny things to airplanes.

  • *camera zooms in, plane is there*

    *camera zooms out, pans around*

    *camera zooms back in, plane is gone*

    Classic.

  • shouldnt have landed downwind. Should have at least done landing distance calculations knowing that he was to land downwind

  • Wow ! First time landing there?

  • That's bizarre how the engine controller put the engine through a full start sequence up to full throttle.

  • 5:12 "oh boy" lol.

    I love the anticlimatic commentary throughout the video

  • Lmfao it's a personal jet/boat way to go.oh noes it's gonna take off

  • V1 that bad boy was ready for take off lmao

  • very fast approach.

  • My take is that the pilot(s) tried to salvage the engines because once in contact with salt water, they are lost. So since they knew the insurance will not cover for the accident, they thought they could at least save what's most valuable in the wreckage...

  • Amazing - thanks for posting this video!

  • Waste of a good aircraft...

  • They are lucky to have even gotten out alive. Plane could easily have broken up, people unconscious or drown.

  • It's hard to believe this guy was a real pilot. He made no position reports on UNICOM though there was a 182 in the pattern for the opposite runway. He overflew the field at 100 feet AGL!!! he turned right to fly the pattern for 11 at 200 to 300 feet AGL!!! Landed 2/3's of the way down the runway in a tailwind when there was not enough room even if he hit the numbers!! It's as if someone's 15 year old kid stole a citation after flying one in MS flight simulator!

  • im 17 and play a crap load of fsx and have taken a flight lesson. I CLEARLY would not have done that. I would have gone around obviously.

    This is a perfect example of how charter pilots are hired by their contacts, NOT their skill.

  • @kingneptune117 I lol @ u man...just cause the market is tough nowadays, it doesn't mean u won't get a job when ur done with ur atpl...cause I know this is what its all about:P and how the hell is that guy a charter pilot?..

  • I am not a jet pilot but I actually jest read in flying magazine today about the problem with go arounds in jets. Espically in a situation like this. They could have possibly not had enough runway or clear space ahead for a successfull go around. In that case, they would have plowed into that river at a much faster speed then if they just hit the breaks as fast as they could. Though I'm not claiming to know for sure. 1st time I saw this I wondered the same thing. But that article made sense

  • @edomalley1 I bet you it was some rich guy that bought the most expensive aircraft he can buy and (being a complete idiot) thinking he could fly it

  • @edomalley1 this means he is very lucky!

    However this is the first time I see a plane (not amphibious) taxiing over the water :-). Amazing.

    Another "strange" thing: it continue to float over and over and it doesn't sink!

    Well, the best part is that nobody (I think) got injured, and the pilot (maybe) learned a lesson.

  • @edomalley1 How do you know he didn't say anything over the radio?

  • If the pilot had secured the aircraft as he is supposed to do, he would have shut off the electricity and fuel supplies before getting out, - for exactly this reason. It also helps reduce the chance of an after-crash fire and when people are being evacuated. Most firefighters become less effective rescuing people from a downed aircraft when there's a screaming jet engine scaring the hell out of them. This pilot should have lost his license and been prosecuted no matter what country he's from.

  • Apparently this owner of this aircraft has a sense of humor..

    The new reg. number of this jet's replacement is "OY- WET"

    haha...

    I pulled this off FL330

  • Wow... 3 years later and this video is still titled as happening in Atlanta Bay.... sheesh...

    Some Americans are fucking lazy....

  • The worst thing is that the Danish CEO didn't admit his foul flying skills but tried to blame the brakes. The Press had a field day because two passengers were young women... My guess was too is that he was showing off

  • Nice, an 18 million dollar jet boat. Very fashionable.

  • why he did not asked for a touch and go ?

    it seems like a very fast landing

  • The pilot didn't leave engines running. Water shorted the elec. system, & engaged the starter.  All the engine needed then was something to ignite the fuel & there you go - a running jet engine.

    According to NTSB, the plane needed more runway than was avail. - PLUS he landed 1000 ft long - PLUS he landed with a 10-15 kt tailwind - PLUS he landed @ an airport that specifically forbade jets to land, which was stated on the chart in his cockpit. He might have made it in the opposite direction.

  • Im not questioning your point about the water engaging the starter - however shouldnt it have short curcuited the system or something, and stopped it from working completely? Im not doubting you im just curious - cheers

  • EIN771:

    I'm not certain of all the details, but the NTSB determined that water in the circuitry caused the malfunction that started the engine. I don't know exactly where to read the NTSB report, but it should be easy to find on the web.

    Another interesting thing about this accident is that the pilot circled the airport before landing, so he got a view of the windsock before attempting his downwind landing. In the NTSB report, he blamed failed brakes, but it would have made no difference.

  • thanks for the info!

  • @PilotMusician But what i'd like to know is how the engine got fuel. As you probably know, the starters in a CJ only spin the fans to pull air into the engine. The fuel doesn't reach the engine until the N2 percentage reaches a certain point and the pilot pushes the throttles out of the "Cutoff" position into the "Idle" position. Maybe the crash wrecked the valve, allowing fuel to rush in?

  • @E240JA Well, all of this is supposition, but I doubt the throttles were in cutoff position. My guess is that the engines flamed out from the initial splash-in, and with the engines off, the pilot then concentrated on getting the passengers off the plane safely, without going through the shutdown (since the engines were already "shut down"). Again, just a guess.

  • @PilotMusician see the tail JOY-JET LoL understatement

  • um why didn't the pilot cut the throttle b4 leaving his plane??

  • what the hell is pilot doing in the water?trying to rescue the plane by starting engines?OMG

  • i think the pilot is trying to use all the fuel so it will not float into the water and kill alot of life. and when a plane is emty for fuel its like a bomb without the explosive. anyway can any of u guys see the wings??

  • Nice boat

  • OY-JET(2) Weibel Scientific A/S. Damaged 15.5.2005 Atlantic City, Bader Field, New Jersey, N525SA, PR-WOB

  • How many things have to short out for an engine to spool up, start, and throttle up??? Seriously

  • what did the guy said on 0:04?

  • Your forgot his improper decision to leave the engines running when he exited the plane

  • Looked like the jet was pretty pissed off that it had such a dumb pilot.

  • did re restart the engines to sail it out of the water

  • This happened on May 15, 2005. All four occuopants survived, airplane was a write off.

  • eww nasty sound at 3:16

  • OOPS!!!!

  • "I think he made it."

    "Where is he?! I lost him!"

    hahahahahaha!!!

  • Airport Remarks section of the Atlantic City/Bader Field Airport entry,

    "Arpt CLOSED to jet traffic." Additionally, runway 11 was a 2,948 foot-long, 100 foot-wide,

    asphalt runway.

    According to the Cessna 525A Landing Distance Chart, an airplane with a landing weight of 11,400

    pounds required 3,000 feet of landing distance, in a no wind situation. With a 10 knot tailwind,

    the airplane required 3,570 feet of landing distance.

  • HAHAHAHA

  • first of all, the pilot was going way too fast. second, he should've been landing on the other side of the runway. pilots need to learn to do things better, especially this one.

  • Comment removed

  • I couldn't agree more. But there is one thing disagree with here about the landing. He should not have landed at this airport in the first place. I just read in an article online that this airport is not designed to handle jets. The runway was far too short for this fast-moving plane. What the hell were those pilots thinking anyway? I don't understand why they didn't divert to another airport.

  • situations dictate... could have been a possible emergency landing, could have had other nearby runways closed due to weather, or could have had some insistent ritsy prick of a passenger that insisted on landing at this airport. I don't know, but I'm sure him being a pilot, he knew the potential risks before he even approached the runway. Something tells me there's more to this than a simple pilot error. I agree with everything you're saying tho, but there are alot of "what if's" here.

  • completely right there. what the hell was he thinking??? how do these guys get licences and then do something fundementally stupid like that?? utter madness and i hope he doesn't fly anymore

  • This was just citation testing out their new submersible plane

  • is there insurance for that shit?

  • What the hell was the pilot trying to prove by driving around in the water? Did he think he could takeoff with the plane halfway in the water? No wonder he ended up in the lake.

  • dude, your a knob. there is nobody in it when it spools up

  • Then the pilot is an idiot for not shutting the engines off.

  • they malfunctioned and turned on by themselves -.-

  • The pilot IS INDEED still in the aircraft. I kid you not.

    Look at the end, he opens the door for the police and admitted later he tried to "drive" to surface.

  • The cut off shorted out. The funniest part of this video is that the girls on the plane are topless. Apparently this guy and his buddy would give girls rides but they had to be topless. I'm not sure if you can see it from the video or not.

  • What, are you like 14?

  • You don't think the fact that he was flying around with topless women funny?

  • Sure he was kid.

  • "that guy,is one crazy son' a bitch"

  • looks like a battlefield 2 glitch

  • why blame the pilot,u assholes if u slowed down it would be a hard landing which might have caused huge chaos!!the runaway is too short and planes land at different speeds,do u expect to land a mig29 on this runaway?

  • Planes are not made for water

  • cessna amphibian is...

  • when did this happen?

  • where's a parachute brake when you need one.

  • Hey Ding Dong, it is NOT the Atlanta Bay. It is actually called the "Inside Thorofare" and is the waterway between the Bader Field (now closed) airport and Atlantic City, NJ. If you look you will see the Atlantic City Casinos in the background. The accident was caused by the pilot attempting to land on a runway that was not long enough for his Jet. Strange thing is a few miles away is a much larger airport that he could have landed on safely.

  • Actually, he was landing downwind as sed in the vid, but i'm not sure about runway length. But the fact that he was way too fast, due to attpemting to land downwind was a major factor

  • The runway was WAY too short for any jet to land. The runway was only 2900 feet long, about 500 feet shorter than the MINIMUM length for a Cessna Citation X (what the jet was). The runway was designed for commuter traffic (prop planes) and for sea planes. The airport has since been closed, but it does have a lot of history.

  • Still, count that for TWO big mistakes on part of the pilot. Landing on a strip too short AND downwind. He'd have had a much better chance flying into the wind.

  • inspection of the pilot's charts after the accident showed that his chart clearly stated that the airport was a NO JET airport.

  • Amazing, you know how to read wikipedia. Good job. 3400 feet is not the MINIMUM distance required for landing. 3400 is for a given weight, and does not take tail/head wind into account. Point is, you don't help your chances of successfully landing on a short strip by flying WITH the wind.

  • What? Schmuck, was my local air strip and I knew about this the day it happened. Now the real point is DON'T LAND A JET AT AN AIRPORT THAT IS CLOSED TO JET TRAFFIC! This accident is 100% due to multiple errors on the part of the pilot.

  • AceLockCo, you are a full of shit asshole. How about a cup of shut the fuck up? Clown!

  • Your mom is full of my dick.

    I know the facts, you just don't want to hear them. If you want to argue, call the FAA, and tell them they are wrong.

  • Give me their phone number then, asshole.

  • Here you go dickhead 1-866-835-5322

  • Thank you. I will call these bastards.

  • Let me know what they say cocksmoker.

  • Gear down, throttles up, master switch on. Yup, we're ready to go fishing.

  • Pretty slow boat for being jet powered!

  • "OY JET"

    hehe..

  • augh the insurance bought them a new one nothing lost !

  • he made an emergency landing and gone wrong, but no injuries at the end, so lucky.

  • The pilot was a dick .... at 1:45 onwards the narrator clearly shows the wind speed & direction.. The pilot was landing with a severe TAIL wind.. & NOT into wind as he should. what an ass!

  • Eight knots is not what anybody would call "severe"

  • He was Still landing with a TAIL wind! which is idiotic when there IS the alternative of landing in the other direction.

  • The fact of the matter is, he chose to land on a runway already too short, with a tail wind which meant he made a potentially fatal decision right there. His incompetence was further amplified by his touching down 1/3 of the way down the runway. He gave himself only 1900 ft of stopping distance as opposed to the 3500+ feet that was necessary for a safe landing. Thats a quarter-mile difference. Finally, he is VERY LUCKY that the engine that relit did not explode, as it very well could have.

  • 0 0

    ---.... oh my thats weird

  • What caused the engine to throttle up? computer controled??

  • I was told it was some sort of auto-restart circuit. It may also have been an electrical short, as water may have flooded the Avionics compartment, depending on where this is located in the CitJet.

    I personally, am surprised the engine actually caught on. Good selling point for the engine manufacturer... "100% starting guarantee, even when half-drowned!!!!"

  • Typically on the Citation series, the Ignitions are supposed to be turned on for landing as well as Fuel Pumps, and odds are that the pilot did not place the engines in the cut-off position once getting out.

  • There's a nice manual q from a fire engine there. Good to hear those.

  • That pilot's career is over, because that pilot just destroy a multi-million dollar jet.

  • that seems more like an ATC's fault.

  • Bader Field was uncontrolled by ATC, and as AeroplanumMaximum stated, the PIC has the final say in operation and direction of the aircraft.

  • "That pilot's career is over, because that pilot just destroy a multi-million dollar jet."

    How about endangerment of human life, and negligence of published air traffic restrictions and regulations?

  • Wow good vid man!

    *

    >-->

  • By the way...NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A JET SKI!!

  • Isn't this Bader Field, Atlantic City, NJ? I've landed their in some prop jobs. Its pretty short. All it takes to get behind the wheel of a jet is a whole lota money. Not skill, talent, or expierence. As a flight instructor we have a saying, "Whats the most dangerous thing in the air?"..."A doctor in a Bonanza!" I've flown with some of the richest, exec's, business leaders and owners, and even though they are great money makers, their flying skills suck and they think they are the shit.

  • Are u saying that the pilot own this jet.

  • OY-JET dansish jet :D

  • did someone forget to turn the engine off

  • Pretty slow boat for being jet powered!

  • The pilot attempted to land on a wet 2 948 foot runway at an airport which usually does not accept jets with a 10-knot tailwind. But the airplane would require 3 500 feet with that tailwind.

  • gotta be drunk!

  • not drunk, just danish

  • what an idiot. Not only did he run his jet into the river, he tried to GET IT OUT BY USING THE ENGINE. Yea dumbass... thats why theres something called a boat, you know... made for water.

  • Ok, the Runway was CLOSED TO JET A/C 525A rego OY-JET did a fly by, landed down wind, (2948 ft) the posted weight for 11,400 lb ac (which this was ) with a 10 mph tail wind was 3570 ft. The Closed to Jet traffic notice was TAPED on the Control collum, NTSB report states "PIC imporoper decision to plan a flt to a runway of insuff length. 2 imp inflt decision to land on that runway with a tail wind, failure to obtain proper touch down point. The RW being wet was No factor INJ 1 minor, 3 uninj"
