Can't the fire department do anything right!!! I think they parked that light rescue truck in the way to get the credit for another plane crash for their stats!
how could he did not see this big box truck parked to side of the road and knowing before hand what would happens if he keep going on the take off roll who was piloting this 210 obama?
Why the fuck was the reporter laughing... if I was the pilot would I not only be so fucking pissed but also petrified when the trees started coming closer and closer and closer and then bam....
The hit on the truck wing mirror looked like not much damage was caused. But he still tried to t/o? And he knew he was going to hit the other vehicle cos he did veer a bit to the left just before smashing his wing for good this time.
Reminds me of the B747 that landed at MNL airport, safely, on 3 engines, But on subsequent attempted ferry flight back to base, tried taking off, believe this, on 3 engines. Needless to say, the plane did not take off, but was destroyed when it ran off the runway.
@shinco52 An unloaded 747 can easily take off with three engines. B747-400 maximum take off weight (MTOW) is 397,000kg (875,000lb). It's empty weight is just 179,000kg (393,000 lb). That's less than half the MTOW. With just enough fuel for the flight it will have no trouble with 25% less max thrust. Also, loaded 747s will usually simply continue on their trans-oceanic flight plans after losing 1 engine *during* takeoff. Obviously there was some other problem with the jet in your story.
I'm not quite sure why the B747 I mentioned failed to t/o successfully. I guess 3 engine t/o must be an allowed procedure in the ops manual or else the pilots would not have tried it. But I can imagine how difficult it must be to perform, especially at initial t/o roll when rudder is not efficient and you have to depend on the nose wheel to hold a straight course against the uneven thrust. I think very few airlines would want to risk it and prefer to change the u/s engine first.
His right wing actually clips the bigger truck first, and yet he still has full power in when the wing slams into the second truck. I honestly don't know if I've ever seen or heard of a more brain-dead individual at the controls of an airplane in 3000 + hours of flying over the last 20 years. It's probably lucky that he didn't make it into the air here, or he might have hurt someone besides himself.
i think the cops said you can go than he closed the door than the cops said wait dont go and he tookoff i wounder how far he was from Baton rouge LA Airport
I've watched this video 10 times and just realized that not only does he hit the red truck, he also obliterates the mirror on the semi! This was doomed from the get go.
What happens at the very beginning of the video??..a puff of smoke can be seen near the tip of the wing (the viewer's left) that causes him to jolt towards the truck..he tries to correct, but is too late...
I just noticed for the first time - The pilot did not have any notch of flaps deployed.
I would imagine that this was a short field takeoff as it was on a highway. The 210 procedure is flaps to 10 degrees. Now couple this with the pilot not checking his wing clearance on takeoff and the biggest no-no of running out of fuel, I am shocked he has made it 794 hours. Maybe he just had a bad day.
How wide is a two lane highway???? Then lets add a semi truck and a fire services truck. Oh, about 12 ft on the co-pilots side, and of coures such an expirenced pilot knows that the wing span is just a little bigger, well maybe not. I have a litte over 5,500 hours of flying, and somehow I have yet to run out of fuel. You know they make fuel gauges for a reason, not just to look fucking cute sitting there. People like this give the general aviation community a bad image to the public eye. Unreal!
Really kid!! 5,500 hoursThat's very impressive.And only at the ripe old age of 19 too?Lets see,lets do a little math 5500hrs=about 230days of continuous airtime since you were able to obtain a PPL at 16.And all with a fulltime job too!!!Awesome....not.Sorry I didnt have my BS detector turned off.
He was scheduled to land at the BR airport, but when he arrived, they wouldnt let him land b/c they were backed up. He had been flying from New Hampshire, and so after 30 minutes of circling BR, he had no choice but to land on Plank Rd. And yes, AGrandt is right, he was cleared by the authories. and rayven2012, he didn't lose his license, which means he's still flying, so be careful next time you think about flying =)
Cleared by the authorities or not, it is still the pilot's responsibility to manage the fuel supply, even if that means landing at an alternate airport.
Baton Rouge Airport kept him in the air too long and he ran out of fuel, so he landed the plane beautifully on Plank Rd. The next day when he was told to takeoff, he radioed to them that it was too tight a fit, but b/c they were holding back traffic, they ushered him on anyways =( He is an experienced pilot, he didn't get his licence taken away, the city admitted it was their fault, he's not a doctor and he's not a nigger...what is wrong with you people? you all sound like the dumbasses...
Doctor pilots are famous for that kind of crap. If you look closely he hit both trucks. Demolished the mirror on the first truck and kept going full throttle to hit the second truck. This was probably a blessing in disguise keeping that idiot out of the sky where he could hurt himself or others even worse. I guarantee he had his license yanked.
Without those nice yellow centerlines on taxiways, how could you possibly know if your wings are clearing? Who goes for the takeoff roll being literally a few feet from obstacles anyway?! Unbelievable!
Why would he loose his licence over this, according to the video description, the takeoff was cleared with the authoroties, even if the wing strike on the truck were not.
MonkeyBeansBigSis stated that he was scheduled to land in an airport, they had no room, and eventually he ran out of fuel after circling for a while. Planes have limited fuel supply, and eventually they will run out.
I have over 14,000 hours of flight time built up over 32 years. I've experienced engine failure and LG failure, but never "fuel exhaustion"..... a nice little term for idiots who can not manage a fuel supply.
I'm aware of the circumstances, but I do not think those circumstances are excusable.
It's called "an alternate airport", which any good pilot should have identified before embarking on any type of cross-country trip.
An fantastic specimen of idiocy. I fail to comprehend how one can put themselves into such a touchy situation as attempting to takeoff from a street after mis-managing fuel to the point of landing on the street to begin with, only to completely fail to remove the most painfully obvious hazards from the situation. I'm sure if there was a rats nest of overhead powerlines that those would have been overlooked by this fool, too. What can one do but shake their head in disbelief.
@cashmab May God damn you. It can happen to you so easily. Just a thought of "oh, I'll go do a quick ten minute flight over the downtown" after coming home from a cross country; the fuel truck was the drivers fault.
he woulda been ok if he didn't catch that Big Rigs mirror. that pulled him slightly right and then it was all over from then on in. very ironic though.
I am not an all knowing pilot, but to me, fuel starvation is such a preventable thing.
Plan your trip. Get into your poh. Maintain an absolute minimum of 30 minutes of fuel during the day and 45 minutes at night. I try to double that if possible. There are airports with fuel everywhere, there really is no excuse.
The beginning of the story was not caught on the recording, so you need to read it from the description.
That was a take off attempt from a highway, not a runway. I'm pretty sure everyone made a serious effort to make it work, but somehow someone did a mistake. It just happens it was a serious one.
Fortunately no one was harmed, but we will remember this beautiful aircraft forever!
acculy the pilot was an idiot, he ran out of gas, if he would of checked his fuel, he would of been fine, also he took off with 0 flaps, when 10 flaps is recomended. Also he should of seen that the truck was in the way, send that pilot back through flight school
Permanently? Give me a break. You'd skip right over fines, suspension, some kind of remediation - and go straight for a permanent lifetime revocation. All for an operational error with no malice or criminal behavior. No matter how sorry the guy is, you wouldn't ever let him fly again. Seriously?
I'm starting to think that you may be the "Special Guest Star" on this Y/T thread.
No one was killed or injured THIS TIME.... Sorry dude, but the stakes are too high, and every incident like this cost all of us too much.
Guess you've never had to pay insurance premiums on an airplane?? It's one thing to pay premiums to insure against potential losses, but idiots like this add a "stupid tax" to ALL of our premiums.
Virtually all aviation accidents are the pilot's fault. It could be argued that nearly all accidents are the result of doing something stupid. You're basically advocating that any accident is worthy of an automatic permanent revocation.
Any pilot who thinks he can't have an accident is dangerous. I'm looking at you.
What I'm saying is that if pilots lack the discipline to fly safely, then the industry and P/A Brotherhood (and Sisterhood) is better off without them.
All too many people in the general public view private aviation as "dangerous", and as you, yourself have stated, the majority of aviation accidents are caused by pilot error; read that to mean "avoidable".
This was not "one accident"; this was TWO consecutive acts of incompetence and foolishness, all performed in one day!!
Any pilot who thinks he can't have an accident is dangerous. I'm looking at you.
Jake, there is a huge difference between an "accident", and a "wreck". I haven't wracked up over 14,000 hours in the past 32 yrs. by being careless. "Accidents" CAN happen!! I've experienced landing gear failure and engine failure. THOSE were "accidents" because those circumstances were beyond my control.
What we see here is no accident; this was caused by carelessness, and it's inexcusable.
I'm with Jake. Sorry outlaw but you act like your perfect and have never and will never make a mistake. PEOPLE AREN'T PERFECT. And if they aren't meant to be up there then they wouldn't have passed the tests for whatever ratings they have. And Outlaw, I wonder if you have ever had a car accident. 95% of drivers had, so technically by your logic you shouldn't even have your license. Could care less how many hours ya have. One pilot never had an engine failure till 20,000 hours. IT HAPPENS.
Permanently? Give me a break. You'd skip right over fines, suspension, some kind of remediation - and go straight for a permanent lifetime revocation. Blah, blah, blah, No matter how sorry the guy is, you wouldn't ever let him fly again. Seriously?
This idiot had almost 800 hours under his belt; if he hasn't got things figured out by then, then I doubt he ever will.
Poor cabin discipline caused the "fuel starvation" emergency, and stupidity compounded it. We see the cumulative results here!!
"Appropriately bitch slapped" or not, we see a pattern of wreckless conduct. Look, Jake, the pilot (I'm really starting to think it WAS you!!) had already been forced down due to a "fuel starvation emergency"; in other words, he (you??) mismanaged the fuel supply.
What did he learn from this?? We see the results right before us.
Premiums are high enough without this type of foolishness.
Do you advocate letting him fly until he kills someone??
That secondary accident could have been brought about by stress. In which case his mistake was not rudder misapplication but rather continuing that flight in the first place. Who knows how much the cops were screaming at him or how much adrenaline was going there. He probably wouldn't have had that collision on any other day.
I just don't see why you wouldn't go for, oh, a 5 year suspension before lifetime. Pilots kill people in accidents and are later reinstated.
That secondary accident could have been brought about by stress.
Had someone been killed, would it really matter if the pilot was "stressed"?? If a pilot can't handle "stress", then he needs to take up Yoga instead of flying.
Almost 800 hours under his belt, and he can't manage a fuel supply, drop flaps 10, or check clearances before take-off??
Here's a solution - don't let anyone fly. The stakes are too high.
Or if you are so worried about insurance rates, then maybe insurance companies shouldn't pay out for anything but engine failures and gear failures. Everything else is inexcusable and should be out of pocket, right?
You obviously think you're one of the greatest pilots in the world, and you very well might be. I still wonder if you don't have a dangerous ignorance of your own humanity.
You obviously think you're one of the greatest pilots in the world, and you very well might be. I still wonder if you don't have a dangerous ignorance of your own humanity.
Jake, your position here is asinine. Lets the safe, disciplined pilots fly, and let the careless ones fly kites.
If I had a "dangerous ignorance of my own humanity", I'd be like this joker in the vid, or I'd be making excuses, as you are doing.
14,000+ safe hours doesn't come through "ignorance".
The fuel gauge is only used to identify an empty fuel tank, it's not for determining how much fuel is available. You use math to figure that out. 10 degrees of flaps is recommended for short-field takoff. Maybe he wasn't attempting a SF takeoff.
Something like that happened near where I live, only the plane didnt crash. The Cessna had to make an emergency landing and it landed on the street and nearly took down some power lines. They towed it into the airport and took down the fence and the pilot flew out the Cessna that next day
Hey man give him a break! He just made an emergency landing and he most likley had the aircraft re-fueled and since it was a highway he had more than enough room to take-off. My question is why the fuck didn't the truck get out of the way. But I agree with you... he should have made sure everything is clear. I bet he was screaming FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
according to the FAA you cant take off streets dumb ass! you would most likely get a truck and tow it! you dont take off a street! jesus learn about aviation would ya
immature much? jesus christ.... did you have ur volume turned up... listen to what the reporter was saying... do you even have ur license? or are you just another one of those flight sim fuckers?
what a dumb ass pilot. Don't blame the cops. He's PIC. run out of gas, then try that stupid take off. Some people are just meant to stay on the ground.
Wow, outlaw is quite correct, it was his first mistake to let the tanks run dry. Then to save money, or possibly due to impatience, and the unwillingess to deal with getting the plane deisassembled and put onto a truck--he took another risk, and a really dumb one at that.
News reporters are so fucking stupid with their ignorant uneducated commentary. The "fuel truck" is a Fire Dept. Rescue squad, the plane hit the mirror on the side of the 18 wheeler first causing it to collide into back of the Rescue Unit. Not the truck drivers fault. It is not everyday you have to pull over and park on a public thoroughfare because a plane landed on it, instead of the airport due to forgetting to put fuel in it, or keeping track of it in flight. Moron pilot for sure!
What's 'Rural America' have to do with a stupid pilot, making a stupid series of mistakes? Are you saying that 'only' Rural America has stupid people? If you are, then you just proved my point . . . Morons are EVERYWHERE!
In a Big city, the police would have never allowed such a stunt, and if they did, they would have at least cleared the "runway" of obstacles...Small town, small minds...
Can't the fire department do anything right!!! I think they parked that light rescue truck in the way to get the credit for another plane crash for their stats!

acculy the pilot was an idiot, he ran out of gas, if he would of checked his fuel, he would of been fine, also he took off with 0 flaps, when 10 flaps is recomended. Also he should of seen that the truck was in the way, send that pilot back through flight school

IMO, the pilot should lose his license permanently. Under these circumstances, fuel starvation is inexcusable.
Except for emergencies, I never fly on my last hour's worth of fuel; consequently, I've never encountered "fuel starvation".
This is one way that people are pointlessly injured or killed in small aircraft. It feeds the notion that small aircraft are dangerous.
In this case, the plane was fine; the pilot was a fool.

Permanently? Give me a break. You'd skip right over fines, suspension, some kind of remediation - and go straight for a permanent lifetime revocation. All for an operational error with no malice or criminal behavior. No matter how sorry the guy is, you wouldn't ever let him fly again. Seriously?
Hope you never make a mistake.
You should probably work for the FAA.

I'm starting to think that you may be the "Special Guest Star" on this Y/T thread.
No one was killed or injured THIS TIME.... Sorry dude, but the stakes are too high, and every incident like this cost all of us too much.
Guess you've never had to pay insurance premiums on an airplane?? It's one thing to pay premiums to insure against potential losses, but idiots like this add a "stupid tax" to ALL of our premiums.
Name calling & cyber-tantrums don't impress me.
Outlaw1257 2 years ago
Virtually all aviation accidents are the pilot's fault. It could be argued that nearly all accidents are the result of doing something stupid. You're basically advocating that any accident is worthy of an automatic permanent revocation.
Any pilot who thinks he can't have an accident is dangerous. I'm looking at you.
jakeharvey 2 years ago
What I'm saying is that if pilots lack the discipline to fly safely, then the industry and P/A Brotherhood (and Sisterhood) is better off without them.
All too many people in the general public view private aviation as "dangerous", and as you, yourself have stated, the majority of aviation accidents are caused by pilot error; read that to mean "avoidable".
This was not "one accident"; this was TWO consecutive acts of incompetence and foolishness, all performed in one day!!

Jake, there is a huge difference between an "accident", and a "wreck". I haven't wracked up over 14,000 hours in the past 32 yrs. by being careless. "Accidents" CAN happen!! I've experienced landing gear failure and engine failure. THOSE were "accidents" because those circumstances were beyond my control.
What we see here is no accident; this was caused by carelessness, and it's inexcusable.
Outlaw1257 2 years ago
I'm with Jake. Sorry outlaw but you act like your perfect and have never and will never make a mistake. PEOPLE AREN'T PERFECT. And if they aren't meant to be up there then they wouldn't have passed the tests for whatever ratings they have. And Outlaw, I wonder if you have ever had a car accident. 95% of drivers had, so technically by your logic you shouldn't even have your license. Could care less how many hours ya have. One pilot never had an engine failure till 20,000 hours. IT HAPPENS.

This idiot had almost 800 hours under his belt; if he hasn't got things figured out by then, then I doubt he ever will.
Poor cabin discipline caused the "fuel starvation" emergency, and stupidity compounded it. We see the cumulative results here!!
Outlaw1257 2 years ago
And I'm sure he got properly bitch slapped for it.
jakeharvey 2 years ago
"Appropriately bitch slapped" or not, we see a pattern of wreckless conduct. Look, Jake, the pilot (I'm really starting to think it WAS you!!) had already been forced down due to a "fuel starvation emergency"; in other words, he (you??) mismanaged the fuel supply.
What did he learn from this?? We see the results right before us.
Premiums are high enough without this type of foolishness.
Do you advocate letting him fly until he kills someone??
Outlaw1257 2 years ago
That secondary accident could have been brought about by stress. In which case his mistake was not rudder misapplication but rather continuing that flight in the first place. Who knows how much the cops were screaming at him or how much adrenaline was going there. He probably wouldn't have had that collision on any other day.
I just don't see why you wouldn't go for, oh, a 5 year suspension before lifetime. Pilots kill people in accidents and are later reinstated.
Flying has risks.

JakeHarvey;

Had someone been killed, would it really matter if the pilot was "stressed"?? If a pilot can't handle "stress", then he needs to take up Yoga instead of flying.
Almost 800 hours under his belt, and he can't manage a fuel supply, drop flaps 10, or check clearances before take-off??
Sorry, the stakes are too high.
Outlaw1257 2 years ago
Here's a solution - don't let anyone fly. The stakes are too high.
Or if you are so worried about insurance rates, then maybe insurance companies shouldn't pay out for anything but engine failures and gear failures. Everything else is inexcusable and should be out of pocket, right?
You obviously think you're one of the greatest pilots in the world, and you very well might be. I still wonder if you don't have a dangerous ignorance of your own humanity.
This is moot. FAA doesn't agree with you.

Jake, your position here is asinine. Lets the safe, disciplined pilots fly, and let the careless ones fly kites.
If I had a "dangerous ignorance of my own humanity", I'd be like this joker in the vid, or I'd be making excuses, as you are doing.
14,000+ safe hours doesn't come through "ignorance".

@umahuma4
The fuel gauge is only used to identify an empty fuel tank, it's not for determining how much fuel is available. You use math to figure that out. 10 degrees of flaps is recommended for short-field takoff. Maybe he wasn't attempting a SF takeoff.
denhou1974 1 year ago
The whole situation could have been avoided if he had checked his fuel indicators.
He ran out of gas.
And then he made a move that was even less intelligent as the one before it, and hit the fuel truck. Nice.

News reporters are so fucking stupid with their ignorant uneducated commentary. The "fuel truck" is a Fire Dept. Rescue squad, the plane hit the mirror on the side of the 18 wheeler first causing it to collide into back of the Rescue Unit. Not the truck drivers fault. It is not everyday you have to pull over and park on a public thoroughfare because a plane landed on it, instead of the airport due to forgetting to put fuel in it, or keeping track of it in flight. Moron pilot for sure!
