Alitalia plane almost crashes

[LVreaper]

Welcome to Kai Tak !

[swankyification]

that's not a near crash experience...that's a crosswind landing!!!

[Quinton238]

Actually, that plane almost did crash. I imagine that the pilot had to think quickly and give hard rudder or it would have hit wing first or he could have buckled the landing gear.

[harold562]

let me guess, Kai Tak International (Hong Kong), yeah anything was possible in that airport, this crosswind is just part of a normal day landing, and therefore that is why it got shut down, not to mention the almost 90* turn pilots had to do to line up with runway in such a short time

[leangershcia]

64 people wanted the plane to crash

[JeremyB787]

Windshear problem at old Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport was indeed serious...

[THEMAMABOY101]

OH MAYBE THE CAPTIN AND CO POLIT WHERE JERKING EACH OTHER COCK OFF THAT WHAT HAPPING.. HAHA

[GimpGaymer]

out of runway, almost;) thats the reason why, nigga;)

[zadeh79]

Wow, look at that sideload

[finnmick96]

Passengers must be happy. :P



[feubarkada]

they're used to it.

[TrackStar828]

I see about 10-20 of those landings ever day, nothing abnormal here.

[khaloyi]

It is called windshear!!!

[plsniper]

@khaloyi it is called moron, not windshear.

[BNSFFREAK747]

Seems like a normal day at Kai Tak...oh nostalgia...

[rchippex]

I recently had a crosswind landing in Colombo (Sri Lanka) and it was a scary thing to see when looking at the front facing video screen. I thought it was the pilot making a mess of things until I looked into it and found out he was compensating for the crosswind. These guys can really fly.

[Boomer2Galactica]

Now thats what I call a balls of steel cross wind landing.

[cun7us]

Safe landing but I bet the passengers were still shitting themselves. Aren't DC-10's supposed to be out of use now?

[navikhi]

@cun7us It is an MD11 not a DC-10. If you look carefully, you will notice the wingtips that are found in MD11.

[Modellpecs]

Actually it was a hard crosswind landing. The plane was not on the centerline but the pilot reacted well. It was just fine.

[EternalComos]

This is just a crosswind landind

[Wabbit0789]

crosswind 0 pilot 1 :)

[danimirish]

@TheWarPlanet carries a lot of weight coming from a guy named TheWarPlanet

[TheWarPlanet]

@danimirish Carries a lot of weight coming from a random person trolling his own video because he cant admit hes wrong, danimirish.

[evilpommy]

crosswind landings happen all the time...meh he missed the runway should have gone around thats about it; "any landing you can walk away from is a good landing!"

[romino707]

It didn't almost crash. It's just a crosswind.

[TestMyVidsOut]

@danimirish Lol why does he need a life

[brianofearth]

@danimirish Agreed. Dude was half way off the runway at touchdown.  Good entertainment, but not a good landing.

[meshach54]

@danimirish NO YOU GET A LIFE...

[SuperArshavin2010]

@danimirish you should get a life loser.

[zarniize]

@romino707 Is that a common mistake. Or is it somehow dangerous?

[romino707]

@zarniize I'm no pilot or aviator, but I'm pretty sure that a crosswind isn't a mistake, haha. It's just a strong wind, part of nature. But I'm also sure that they can be dangerous and either make or break a landing. I assume that landing an aircraft is something that requires 100 percent precision and accuracy; every level of altitude must be planned and executed precisely. I'm sure that a crosswind could really mess that up, not to mention possibly make the plane miss the runway.

[homeslice2387]

cool

[mrDemonioify]

alitalia = berluasconi = bunga bunga gheddafi

[big1beni]

fuck this never i goo fly

[AmtrakSilverStar]

OMG!! That was a close shave!! They sure are very good pilots, especially flying into Kai Tak!

[flemingcourt]

routine Kai Tak landing - miss that old strip

[coolbubbletea1]

the pilots just want to put some black on the side of the runway ;)

[levygonz]

chuck norris was the pilot

[my235]

piece of shit MD-11...One of the most deadly commercial aircraft to carry pax.

[Koeker]

@my235 unfortunately yes, although I wouldn't say piece of shit...

[my235]

@Koeker You're right. If it fly's I like it. I'm just going by my research into all of the incidences that the MD-11 has had it it's relatively short history. Love the way they takeoff.

[my235]

piece of shit MD-11...One of the most deadly commercial aircraft to carry pax.

[DeadlyInertia]

@DrMongoose12 Okay, Dr. Pilot.

[DrMongoose12]

@DeadlyInertia erm mate, i have a private pilots license from a flying scholarship, so you just watch what comes out of your mouth ok?

[DeadlyInertia]

@DrMongoose12 Okay, Dr. Pilot. I wont tell you that I don't believe you.

[DeadlyInertia]

@DrMongoose12 Until, I have the proof, I won't especially because of the fact your running around looking for a clan for MW2 on the 360, or you have a video of you playing GTAIV, Makes sense I'm not going to lie, I'm 14, and I've never flown an aircraft (It's my dream), even though my Dad works for American :) You don't have to lie about your profession, unless you work in a drain.

[DrMongoose12]

@DeadlyInertia alright mate, chill out, jheez!

[DeadlyInertia]

@DrMongoose12 Well, If you just said you were lying that would make my side way easier.

[CreepCrabProductions]

@DrMongoose12 dude just cause hes right doesnt mean you have to argue... it was fine... it just want on centerline... he cleaned up his strut movement to the middle so there was no damage and got on the runway centered fine... if you WERE i pilot you would know that landing off the side but ON the runway is normal... just stupid because the FAA and JAA invented something called a go around... do me a favor and get over yourself

[SWE370]

almost wingstrike.

[Fredvideosforfun]

Hard for the passengers, maybe. But a "normal landing" for the pilots.

I tghink they´ll say: Thats Hong Kong. What matters....

Greetings, Fred

[krajchek]

Yeah almost chip the grass :D Bloody crosswind....

[futurepilot95]

well the passengers didn't like that, that's for sure

[Transfusions]

This isn't good landing indeed even if we consider it was old kai tak airport.

MD11 is easy to lose balance and crash so they need to handle always with gentle

control.

[yomamasofat1000]

Well, pilots are trained to land in crosswinds.

[Sinocian]

This is a spectacular landing by Alitalia standards.

[LoobLap61]

@Sinocian lol, you're right XD

[skazhiprivet]

This would make a great ad for Alitalia...

[FSXflyer1143]

This is why kai tak was closed

[smigaldi]

Looks like a normal Hong Kong Landing to me. BTDT! 

[1imthwalrus]

is that a DC-10 or an MD-11?

[uri0316]

@1imthwalrus MD-11. it has winglets.

[Thebmwisthebest]

@1imthwalrus MD-11 look at the wingtips

[TheFoodDeliveryGuy]

huh.......

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

Fucking Hong Kong. :D

Worst airport finally closed down.

[vlrwds]

kazzo______________

[MrJwill919]

Airport is Kai Tak in Hong Kong, it closed in 1997.

[Kiilian10]

is this in japan? whats the airport called?

x

[MrJwill919]

@Kiilian10

Airport is Kai Tak in Hong Kong, it closed in 1997.

[FlightLevelHeaded]

I bet he's a great pilot with the autopilot on.

[davidneibig]

@billyfarcetboy any mainstream commericial plane has pretty much the same resistance to crosswind (they need to hand speeds of at least 51ft/s (15.5 m/s) and their ability to handle them is irrelevant of size if your a commercial size aircraft. 

[platez81]

Unusual! Usually, at least during my crosswindlandings, the plane reacts much earlier then on the actual moment of the touchdown, so that there´s plenty of time to straighten the plane again before touching down. Normally the heaviest crosswinds are higher up about some 300 ft. I would have guessed this was trickfilmed! 

[flyairberlin738]

(Welcome at Kai Tak) very soft .. great Pilot !!

[HDFlightSim]

holyyyyy......

[torsteidn]

@billyfarcetboy Don't know who's dumb.... but you qualifies pretty good. All aircraft are subject to crosswind. ....

[JetlinerXPilotXFSX]

@billyfarcetboy Are you seriously saying wind does not effect an MD-11?

[blueb0g]

LOL, yes it would. I agree it got a bit out of hand here, but don't forget - it's Kai Tak!

[DrBPhD]

@blueb0g Nothing unusual at Kai Tak I would say. Check the Korean Airlines 747 video.

[blueb0g]

Exactly my point, it's normal for Kai Tak.

[britishairwayspilot1]

in kai tak this will be considered a good landing. anywhere else and u would have been sacked.

[gonoje71]

Nice

[MrJST94]

yes I agree with that!

[amatorynumber]

that's hong kong, right? then it is a normal landing :-D

[bruchpilot747]

@amatorynumber well not that normal^^ he must have been drunken.... sorry - correction: they must have been drunken... every normal pilot would go around......

@dani very nice vid... 5*

[amatorynumber]

@bruchpilot747 Kai tak was a very complicated airport to land at. There is a few videos here of planes landing pretty much the same way. It was a normal landing routine there. L1J2D3 got it right a few comments below. ;-)

[rishiroypilot]

@amatorynumber hahaha!!!!

[lodi69]

@fe984 ahahahah

[SKIF2012]

пилот инвалид...

[joaogommes]

you are an idiot and your video should be removed and you as well . . .

[abeamarra]

Every passenger on that plane would feel the bumpy touch down on the runway. But the pilot did it, it was quite risky, but he did it.

[skazhiprivet]

Actually, you can see the wind socket and it does not look like there´s strong crosswind. It´s lifted by the wake of the plane. So, I think it´s just a very bad landing.

[zigaretos]

See...the 747 pilot said, wtf is he doing !!!

[asmit165]

Hey,in my view any landing you can walk away from is a good one

[16striker16]

Salute! to pilot,

[jaggedspike]

crosswinds :S

[louisekaille]

this is at kai tak airport..thats why its a rough landing...

[CyberNetTV]

the pilot probably got done for dunk-flying lol

btw i subbed you! =)

[podknocker1]

almost ... worth while putting it on youtube.

[xbox360freakful]

the plane lands you cant land the plane straight

[KernelThread]

No more Alitalia lol..

[squadman33]

Crosswind,...point to the wind and correct with rudder at touch down...no big.

[MKSailmationto]

Is that an Singapore Airlines on the left of the Alitalia at 0:11 ?

[XXJosh599XX]

u r such a doof, obviously it is.

[MKSailmationto]

I am not talking to you idiot!

[XXJosh599XX]

Oh wow, how uncivilised.

[MKSailmationto]

So what? Son of a bitch?

[XXJosh599XX]

This is so amusing,barbarians use computers too? OMG...

[MKSailmationto]

According to the technology in the world today, I believe that barbarians use computers too...

[XXJosh599XX]

oh wow... yes, i can see that. cause i m obviously not one and someone else here is a very fine example.

[MKSailmationto]

If you know it, can you show an example or even say that person is a barbarian infront of that person? Do you have the balls?

[XXJosh599XX]

your reply is so rude and uncivilised, it shows how unrefined u are, exactly like a barbarian, you ARE a very fine example.

[MKSailmationto]

So what? It is non of your business! If you have the balls, come to me on Wednesday and say it infront of me? Scared? Do you have the balls?

[XXJosh599XX]

dude, don't intimidate my bloody fucking vagina.

[MKSailmationto]

Oh... I see.. You are a shemale isit? I thought you are a male? Make sure tomorrow I see you, I must not recognize you... SHEMALE!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[XXJosh599XX]

oh, poor thing you, looks like you still don't know i m using my brother's account for fuck sake.

[MKSailmationto]

Oh I see.... Do I look like I care? Do I? DO I?

[XXJosh599XX]

you are so pathetic, i know what you and my brother had done. everything.

[X46RAPTOR]

For fuck sake shut up.

[MKSailmationto]

So what? We're not talking to you!

[X46RAPTOR]

Yes, but its a plane landing what is there to argue about?

[Folgore2010]

It is dude,

btw XXfaggot599XX is a notorius cocksucking compulsive maniac..watch out

[TheTomyossarian]

woof.

[NeoNMussiC]

i believe that was due to some crosswind

[turquienforce]

o nasil inisti yaa :) yolcularin yuregi agzina gelmistir :)

[fanmanabc]

more side slipping!!!! lol

all 3 landing gear were on the runway. hence the 3 plumes of smoke from all the landing gears.

[plsniper]

the right main gear touched down completely off the runway. That should have been a go around. Embarrassing.

[DeltaAirtran]

That Alitalia or Italian pilot is very bad at landings. But look at all the smoke that was all floating into Hong Kong!

[emiratescrew]

the pilot must have been very skilled to control the aircraft after that touchdown. this landing could've turned ugly.

[cyprussunizhot]

this airline is bad iv just had a look at all the crashes they have had.

[attopaca]

L'Alitalia non è mai casuta, è una delle più sicure compagnie del mondo, che cazzo parli a fare? Alitalia never crashed, is one of the most safe world airline. What are you talking about?

[cyprussunizhot]

i found a website that has all the air crashes listed. and they have had 3

[ComCae]

@attopaca

Scusa, ma l'ATR del Lago di Como e il MD82 a Zurigo non contano? Senza considerare il DC8 a Palermo e il DC9 sempre a Palermo.

[attopaca]

Si, d'accordo. Ma giusto o sbagliato rappresenta l'Italia.

[ComCae]

@attopaca

In Australia non ci va più, in Asia tranne Tokyo e Osaka non ci va più. In Africa più a Sud di Accra non ci va più. In Sud America tranne Caracas, Sao Paolo e Buenos Aires nada, Nord America è limitata a New York, Miami, Boston, Chicago e Toronto. Si si, ci rappresenta eccome.

[ilpapa79]

infatti...e' la compagnia di bandiera + sfigata del mondo...anche la ethiopian airlines ha + destinazioni internazionali!

[vincven]

during landing, the md-11 is pretty unstable... pilot should have go- around.

[ArticMuse]

@vincven i agree, and bcoz the vert stabilizer is too short.

[EightCharlieFox]

Right, right... at age 21 you know exactly how MD-11's handle...

[vincven]

no not really, but i showed my dad this vid... and he knows a thing or two

[dellart32]

you guys cool down it wasent that bad it was just some cross wind.. most likely no one got fired

[vr66r]

Almost crash....bullshit, change the title asshole!

[danimirish]

@vr66r Fuck you.

[Michael55443]

That's hardly an "almost" crash. It's a rough landing into strong headwinds. An "almost" crash would involve a wing strike or something more serious.

[piratesonline1]

i bet the pilot was fired

[ryanair737400]

why he did his best this is hong kong airport old one of the worlds hardest approaches into strong headwinds and crosswinds

[SodiumHydrocxide]

I consider that landing a 8/10

[aviator147]

any landing you walk away from is 10/10

[allibowthepilot]

@aviator147 okay if u land so hard nad goes into flames but u all servive means its still a 10/10 landing:/ i wont hink so

[aviator147]

@allibowthepilot .....thats not a landing stupid...thats called a crash if you burst into flames...you're dumb

[allibowthepilot]

@aviator147 ur dumb haha

[aviator147]

@allibowthepilot ...you're a dumbass. go back to playing FSX all day buddy....you'll never be a pilot

[allibowthepilot]

@aviator147 LMAO u now a plane called the Grob Tutor ,,, ??? well i fly them solo simgle prop engine i bet i dnt more than u !

[aviator147]

@allibowthepilot ...can you speak english????? i just flew my solo long cross country in a rain storm yesterday,, and I have 55 hours....and Im going to college in August..to move on in my training...you wont be anything...

[allibowthepilot]

@aviator147 im way younger than u and i already donE A SOLO XD! so when am 22 ill probs fly passengers

[aviator147]

@allibowthepilot ...yea you're an idiot...no one will higher you..especially at 22....and you have no proof that you soloed....your just some kid on youtube talking shit...like half of everyone else out there

[em4rulz]

@allibowthepilot You do realize that you can't even work for any airlines until you get your Airline Transport Pilot certificate, whose minimum age is 23, right? Oh wait, you don't >_<

[allibowthepilot]

@em4rulz i no i was trying to prove a pint lmao

[0Boeing0]

@em4rulz Wrong. You only need a CPL(Commercial pilot license) to work for an airline. Minimum age 18. You only need an ATP to be in command(captain).

[EpicFly]

I bet he was thinking "Good one Captain"

Incredibly hard airport to approach never mind land.

I'm guessing winds were gusting strongly with a fierce crosswind.

[AmbitiousJ]

wonder what the oncoming 747 captain must have been thinking lmao

[Moss235]

just what I thought lol

[petrhsr]

@AmbitiousJ - He probably thought "there sure are some fucking insane clowns flying planes for Alitalia".

[ColdCutMolecules]

@AmbitiousJ hope the crazy glue on my diaper is dry! 0 . 0

[DAMIAN483]

pefect landing ! on one of the worlds hardest runways to land (closed 1998) top class pilot in an MD11 F cargo beast

[Chickiee2]

@DAMIAN483 haha he didn't even land on the centreline, or runway for that matter lol

[Pvjinflight]

@DAMIAN483 Isn´t it passenger version?

[DBZTheLegend]

lol he hit the grass

[TheMSLProductions]

what a waste of my time...

[danimirish]

Good for you, loser.

[kjshins]

how was that a waste of your time, it almost crashed, and it was hilarious

[drumz86]

14 sec? real waste.. knob

[wodahScze]

Kai Tak, Hong Kong (closed 1998) - usual crosswind landing, it happened there all the time the wind blew (you can see more happy landings like this here on Youtube - search for Kai Tak)

[chessbuff]

that looks to me like kai tak airport in hong kong. that's the runway where you'll have to land after making a sharp right turn at the checkered board.

[electricamenteyo]

What a good tire...!
