Thai Plane Crash Aftermath

[mitsukai111]

i didn't see or hear any fire engines or ambulances responding to the scene. They should be there by that time.

[kingobnoxious]

Passengers and crew of OG269 received little benefit from fire and rescue services. On the day of the crash, Phuket Airport did not meet the requirements of fire and rescue protection required by international standards, the foam and water in the trucks used three days earlier in a training exercise and had not been restocked.

[kingobnoxious]

When an airport has a reduction in fire or rescue capacity, ATC is required to notify incoming traffic of the reduction, but no notification was made.Hampering rescue efforts was a six-foot ditch beside and parallel to runway 27 running the length of the runway.

[kingobnoxious]

Rescue vehicles were unable to cross this ditch, though they could have entered at either end of the runway. None did. Survivors complained that only a single ambulance arrived, and forced the healthy into the vehicle, leaving behind trapped and injured.

[kingobnoxious]

Additional fire and rescue from the town of Phuket arrived 30 minutes later. Their slower than normal response was due to the ATC radio call to for help from town that an aircraft that had “slid” off the runway rather than declaring an emergency situation

NO SHOES ARE ALLOWED DOWN THE ESCAPE SLIDE!

[Mr47driver]

How come people always lose their shoes when shit crashes?

[addernoir01]

@Mr47driver The impact is so severe it throws their shoes off their feet :o(

this is 1 reason why ppl shouldn't go to LEDCs

[VSK121]

At last second before it crash, pilots tried to GO AROUND. As you can see, they failed

[mkdaisgory]

there was another video of a plane crash, and there was litterally body parts everywhere! DX

phuck flying!!!

[ut000bs]

Interestingly, statistically speaking, commercial flying is safer than walking 2 blocks to the grocery store. There is less chance of an injury while flying than while walking that distance.

In areas where there are automobiles practically _everyone_ will be involved in at least one accident.

I don't know... I just can't help thinking that I would have rather gone without watching 1.05 minutes of this footage for you to actually not have picked up the camera and helped the other people out. Video camera would have been the last thing on my mind.

@TheViolentTeddy Shock tends to change your prioreties

[judgeroybeen]

They say air is the safetest way of transport?Do the math.Compare car accidents with survivors to plane crashes with survivors.Which one would be safer??At least a car crash would/is quicker than a plane falling to the ground for 10 or so min.I guess it'd be enough time to at least call your loved ones to say good-bye.Still.I'd rather go out in a car crash than a long plane crash.

[iceberg62000]

you are getting completly wrong. Planes are far much safer than cars. last year for exemple over 2.5 billions of people took planes and "only" 850 died in the entire word. Whereras in a single country(France) 4500 people died in cars accidents. It gives you an idee of how many people died in the entire word in cars accident each years. Compare it with the number of deaths in planes you'll see what I mean. Further more there are survivors in planes crash 40 for this one for exemple.

[insideje7]

you should also compare the number of cars to the number of planes. Your theory is shaking.

[TomasTommyH]

you saying that after 3 crashes this year already?

[RobertGary1]

There were probably 3 car crashes this year before lunch on Jan 1st.

[TOURBOI30]

oh my god I FUCKIN HATE FLYING!

[shadddey5]

dude chill out flying is like 60% (obviously over exagerating) than driving....flying is the safest way...

[TOURBOI30]

chill out ! you obviously never had a close encounter flying.cause you wouldn't say that . if you fly it will happen to you at some point.then I tell you to chill out.I fly alot and it makes me crazy every time! I hate flying!

[back2friday13]

oh my fucking god

[maxxeclipse88]

And this is just as it happened... To see the people's reaction to see that they survived, while there were those that weren't so lucky.

I wouldn't be suprised if Cinefilm Mayday does a documentary on this and uses the footage or something...

But God bless to those you perished.

[ruddyy123]

Quote -

Footage of the Thai plane crash before news crews got there.

Obviuosly before the emergancy services could aswell

[waccchin]

It happened on september 16th. The One-Two-Go Airlines flight was carrying 123 passengers and seven crew members from the capital Bangkok to Phuket when the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 skidded off the runway in driving wind and rain. It then ran through a low retaining wall and split in two, killing 90 people, including 54 foreign tourists. Wind shear - the rapid change in wind speed which can impact takeoffs and landings — was a possible cause of the accident.

[MuayThaiBoxing]

Never, never, never fly on those MD-80's. How many fucking disasters does an aircraft need to be taken out of service? You guys are so lucky- my heart really goes out to you dudes.

[Jujurocksallthetime]

Its true yet another accident has happened in madrid

[geardude56]

[JFoun321]
