  • made in canada....

  • no big deal, that was just the spare tire

  • Uhh hope we didn't need that 

  • i have been on a few continental connection dash-8s and the land those planes so bad!

  • Yeah, cool video, but whats up with the horrible music??? Ruined an otherwise cool video.

  • Im an aircraft mechanic but iv never worked on dash-8s but from what i hear if your not careful, you can misalign the wheel during installation and it will come off.

  • your music is gay and so are you!!! take a colgan flight to EAD( EAT A DICK)

  • Funny thing is Southwest had a tire FIRE on landing on the SAME DAY!!!!!, but never made the headlines. Colgan ended up at the gate while southwest had to evacuate . Funny how the media works

  • Most aircraft manufacturers have a specially designed axle nut that does not allow the wheel to seperate even when bearing failure occurs. I can't believe this aircraft does not have this as long as it has been around.

  • I have seen about 5 planes have similar problems to this. It is due to bearing failure but that can be caused by several idfferent causes. A bad batch of grease, someone new in the tire shop not properly lubricating the bearings during tire buid, I have even seen instances where the grease was contaminated by hydraulic fluid caused the bearing to overheat and fail. Mixing of different types of grease is another possible cause.

  • Bearing failure. I believe no one is at fault, things will break no matter how reliable they might be. In this case, the bearings ceased causing them to fail. The mechanic that replaced the main wheel assembly was not found at fault in this case. I know because I work for Colgan and I personally work on the Q400's. People here mention of cotter pins and other things, but truth is the cotter pins were found were they were supposed to be, conclusion: mechanical failure.

  • Seriously.... come 'on man.  Somebody or some group did not do their job here.

    What, you think you're air traffic controllers and can take a nap whenever you damn well please?

    Parts should NEVER fall off of an airplane! To EXPECT the best, you have to INSPECT the best.

  • this is thrown way out of proportion- most of the incidents involing these accidents have been proven to be the result of the lack of maitanence the airline companies performed on the aircraft-its not the aircraft manufaturer or the aircraft its self.

  • This music... seriously?

  • this movie is awesome..going to watch this in webmovietube

  • NOTHING ELSE TO SAY...JUST SHITTY MAINTENANCE, PERIOD.,SORRY.

  • wow i am in shock..this could have gone really bad..happy u and everyone else made it safely...

  • I love the video! Who is the song by as it is very good!

  • I believe the Pilot did a great job keeping the trust load to the outside wheel. .He was hopeing it would hold and it apears it did. Who ever performend the final inspection will be at fault asumeing no parts actually failed. Maybe a simple cotter pin . The investagation will find out. All was just fine from what I see so far. No more Drama

  • Well, if i was the person with the camera I would be terrified no matter what many of you say.

    And this just because the second wheel seems to stay on the strut only by luck plus I would assume that they might have suddenly lost the brakes of the right part of the landing gear and that makes this situation a very dangerous one so runway run or skid off wouldn't be impossible at all, due to intense differential braking.

    Especially if the pilots were not aware of the gear condition.

  • dash 8 is fuckin shit they should stop them from flying they should fuckin set alll of these fucked up planes on fire

  • @saf768 It's not the plane. Its how it's maintained. This was caused by poor maintenance.

  • @Apollo580 ok but i still hate it

  • known as a "breakaway" part in the aircraft maintenance industry.

  • Bumraiders rail vehicles aren't up to much either.... neither is the company management.

    If there is a problem it's covered up. Examples being external doors opening and closing of their own accord..... maintenance staff were told to keep quiet about it.

    I'd be surprised if I could find any non-managerial employees, who honestly praised the company.

  • Great! I'm flying from Toronto to Newark, in 10 days in this model

    pray for me people!

  • rather than terrifying i call this incident hilarious.. they really need to stop cutting taxes to maintenance and buy ORIGINAL parts

  • i have been on a few flights in the Q400, they sucked but its a good plane

  • XD A AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT WAS FUNNY AHHAHAHAHAH XD

  • someone forgot to do the wheel nuts up

  • lol. this is scary but funny!

  • colgan is so sketchy

  • in fact one of the best examples of redundancy!

  • What did Continental 3407 have to do with wheels falling off.

  • Hahaha, I would be a bit worried that we'd end up on the tail but meh, shouldn't be to trryfing

  • well done to the mechanics of the airline company you flied .the idiots forgotted to tie the wheels

  • That's what happens when a licensed A/P mechanic works on planes...

  • most aircraft can lose a single wheel and still stay upright. not a big issue safety wise.  Airplane are designed to take a lot of abuse on landing.

  • Oh My God !!! That mechanic was probably fired? WOW!

  • @FlyJetBlueAirways or even brought up on criminal chargers.. most likely this was some type of metal fatigue. who knows for sure would be nice to find out.

  • was putting this song on this video really neccesary?

  • 2 is better than one, whats the problem?

  • I loved flying the SAS dash 8 q400 just loved it until they band it in Aalborg and the rest of Denmark. I am from Aalborg,Denmark and i was actully at the airport at the time i could hear the sirens i was getting ready to board a Cimber plane to copenhagen.my flight was delayed 5 hours before i could take off.

  • Ass music

  • cool

    

  • That mech. is fired as hell..

  • Please take the music out and put the audio from the camera in.

  • The song is very appropriate haha. Good job!

  • The Dash-8 is a great aircraft, i have more than 10000 flight time and more than 6000 hrs flying one for JAZZ in Canada... in bad weather or short runways it' the best, it's built solid and it is built for Canadian weather...I would not fly an other aircraft...

  • looooolz

  • the wheel fulling is funny but they still should of checked it before they left the ground.

  • Widerøe airlines in norway only use Dash, and they never have had any problems!

  • Dash is some S*it!!

  • No, SAS is shit. They didnt maintenance these aircrafts properly.

  • song?

  • dash's wheels mostly always fail and there gear

  • That's clearly a design fault right there!.

  • In my opinion SAS used their incidents to blame the aircraft rather than poor maintenance. these regional aircraft takeoff and land more than larger jet aircraft like the 737 A318 & up so if they are not maintained properly they are more likely going to have issues like this Q400 are great aircraft and the fact that these landing from landing gear problems are an example of the aircraft and highlights the importance of maintenance in high demand aircraft.

    The Buffalo crash shouldn't be in this.

  • I wondered why the buffolo crash was on here too. That was unrelated.

  • what happend after

  • Comment removed

  • @ jmzblu  You probably listen to rap you faggot

  • good maininece CO

  • The wheel fell off because of faulty wheel bearings that sheared off the axle, and the brake fell of because the wheel holds it in place. It really not a big deal. Thats why there is 2 wheels.

  • The axle didn't shear. Look closely, it's still on. A castellated nut wasn't safety-wired/tabbed & thus spun off on touchdown when the wheel spun, losing wheel, bearings & brake assembly. It's only a slightly-bigger deal since now the brakes are nonfunctional; see that leaking fluid? Plus, only one tire takes a much greater load. If you saw the full video, you'd see lots of leaking brake fluid & a nearly-flat solo tire. The plane crept into the gate at 2mph.

  • "Whew, I just barely got that plane out of the hangar on schedule for next flight after replacing all tires. Say, I wonder where these 6 leftover nuts were supposed to go? Oh well, must not be important, I'll just chuck 'em."

  • Hey Vern, what's this big nut doing over here on the bench?

  • LMAO, nice to see some just makes a joke rather than the wannabees arguing the technical points and how they know better!

  • my question is if passengers had seen flames from the landing gear after departing from newark why didnt they alert the flight crew so they couldve returened to newark??

  • @dcharles09. they didn't even see it. stupid people

  • ¡ʇɐp op ʇuɔ n ʇǝq ı 'uʍop ǝpısdn ǝʇıɹʍ uɔ ı ןoן ¡¡oǝpıʌ pooƃ ʎɹǝʌ good video all the same 5/5

  • @planes142 stop speaking mr bean's language

  • the song is harder,better,faster,stronger by daft punk.

  • wat is the first song?

  • I'll trust the Dash 8 any day over certain other pieces of 'junk'. The Canadians build these things like tanks. Aside from the landing gear issues (which I believe have been maintenance issues more than anything) the Dash 8 is a reliable plane. Sure things do break on them a bit such as the NVS (noise cancellation system) but at the end of the day this plane will withstand a helluva lot...and get you there safely.

  • Lol. At least Nobody got hurt.  Turbine atp's tell how many time you pop a tire and pax don't even know????

  • Hm. That's embarrassing.

  • buffalo doesnt like dash 8 o.O

  • these planes have bad luck at the buffalo airport they should all be replaced with crj 900s asap!!!!

  • Oh hell yeah Q400 or Dash 8's are just a pile of crap! CRJ's are a hell of a better aircraft.

  • They are built by the same company, and I'd trust any airplane from them (Bombardier) over a lot. I think that the Dash 8's are better built than anything else in their catagory.

  • @cslan4 HAHAHAHAH.....that was funny. CRJ shouldn't have been certified EVER. But thanks for the laugh....unless that was sarcasm....then disregard.

  • @willztec3 Honest I don't realy like any one of them I have work on both and there both garbage .If it not Boeing i'm going!

  • @ronaldbuffalo2 even more crap

  • it always sad that the general public really never understand. I fly for a living and also have a my A&P (airframe and powerplant license to work on aircraft). As always it easy to blame the pilot or the mech. Just as in your car parts break.. Learn before you talk...

  • its not the aircraft, its caused by some horrible maintenance done by the airlines.

  • I agree the best aircraft in the world will fail if they are not maintained.

  • @TensaZ, what do expect by the maintenance practices. The current startubg pay for airline mechanics is about $15.00 per hour compared to being $20.00 an hour back in 1999. The airlines are cutting cost by paying mechanics less and raising airfares so dont be surprised for the increase in accidents.

  • WOW! thats insane! and whats the song? i know its stronger but what remix is it or whatever?

  • It's not a remix, its the original by Daft Punk, it's called: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.

  • thanks. its a cool sounding song.

  • A little maintenance goes along way.

    Obviously this airline lacks quality maintenance people.

  • My sister use to date an aircraft mechanic, he saw this video and immediately said they probably forgot to torque properly the Wheel and brake assy and install the retaining nuts. He also said you should see the kind of things that happens in aviation when you forget to install even a simply pin cotter.

  • If you torque down the retaining nut then wheel would not turn, it would bind on the bearings. There is a cotter pin that should be inserted into the crowned retaining nut. I've seen it forgotten before.

    I pulled the cap off my wheel to add air to the tires and noticed that the shop that did my annual had not installed the cotter pin. Could have been an expensive situation.

  • Okay, your nuts.

  • news reporter: take a look at this footage we found on the internet.

    turns when police went to pick up the wheel investigators found the reason for the wheel coming off.

    in the wheel was written in faint text "made in china"

    LOL

  • So thats why my RC car always breaks....

  • YEAH!

    i went to walmart and i bought some.....

    stuff....

    and it blew up the second i walked out the door.

  • actually this kind thing is not that uncommon, just e few months ago a Dutch Antilles Express ATR 42 tire flew off from the nose gear while landing in Curacao.

  • would have been better without the music. And there's nothing wrong with this aircraft. When an airline has poor maintence practices what else do you expect.

  • Anyone Got A Spare? LOL

  • I'd be like ------Dude!, we just lost a wheel!!

  • This person obviously has a problem with the Q400. SAS was found to be negligent in the maintenace of their aircraft which is why they had problems with the landing gear, and the same applies to Colgan Air, who are not only lousy at maintenance obviously but also at training their pilots how to fly the damn things. The NTSB pointed to pilot error in the Colgan crash because of inadequate training. Look it up, it's a matter of public record. Kindly get your facts right before you post, please.

  • @richardds9 I believe the crashes that happenned was due to human failure, or sucessive 'small' hard landings, wich are very common in Dash8...But how do you explain that some of the Q402NG delivered to Sata Air Açores, with something like 10 flight hours(including delivery flight), after it's delivery flight had to be put in the hangar for repair...(it was told me by an engineer) They are great machine with outstanding power, but doesn't seems to be very reliable...

  • @richardds9 aye i'll give you pilots but that wheel flying off was a bering faliure that axle could not contain bc both of the bearings falied on that and pretty soon goodrich is gonna come out with an AD for that oh an by the way that tire was on that airplane for a month without a glitch just so you know.......

  • @richardds9 Well said !! It's people like the one that posted this video that the over sensationalizing media pander to.

  • @richardds9 It's about time someone else out there had the facts. Thumbed up.

  • @richardds9 I went to college and flight school with the FO in that accident. She and I studied a few NTSB cases covering the very topic of "sterile cockpit." Both pilots knew better... sometimes shit just catches up with you.

  • horroble

  • That sucks but is hardly an issue. How many time a week does this happen on the freeway?

  • Sorry, it's not that terrifying. Stop over sensetionalizing the issue.

  • @hangarflying

    Except for those who don't know much about planes.

  • part failure or mechanical failure speaking as an aircraft mechanic i hope i'm never in that situation...i'm gonna keep tabs to see what the NTSB and FAA gotta say for their report

  • My Grandparents were on that flight.

  • Dude i would have bin shared shitless if that happend on one of my flights!!!!!!!!!!

    How did you take it??

    o and NICE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great Music !

    What is it.

  • Artist: Daft Punk

    Song: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

  • Search "Happy Rob Buy" by google ,and you will find amazing.

  • This incident probably has nothing to do with the Q400s design, just a mechanical failure, as Engineers/Technicians/Pilots/m­echanics have said.

    Interesting to see all the bits fall off though, must of been a bit of a shock

  • This is a maintenance problem. Some poor guy on a monday morning hung over forgot to put the cotter pin in after a tire change, and which over a period of time the bolt holding the wheel and braking system in place simply loosened and as you can see, this is what happens just from a simple pin.

  • Landing gear like this don't use cotter pins in that way. They use two bolts to hold the axle nut on. I think this was more likely a part failure than a faulty installation.

  • Comment removed

  • we use safetywire

  • Safety wire only stops parts from loosening, not breaking off.

  • It seems that ProzrachnyTeatr would rather trust his fate to the legions of Ilyushins and Tupolev "gravity provers" rather than the 2nd and 3rd generation old aircraft the entire Eastern bloc flocked to buy up to replace their fleets full of "Isaac Newton Specials".

  • Crappy music! Not sure if the poster is trying to compare this tire incident with the crash in Buffalo (that had to do with ice forming on the wings) or not.

  • It's already been shown that the Buffalo crash had nothing to do with icing. It was purely pilot error. The pilots allowed the plane to enter into a stall, and both the pilot and first officer responded incorrectly to the situation causing the crash.

    The Q-400 has had a long history of mechanical problems. Most of them having to do with the landing gear. SAS completely removed the aircraft from their fleet due to all the problems they have experienced

  • *** Yankee planes are death-traps. I would never fly in a shitbox like this. ****

    FYI its a canadian company, canadian made aircraft !!! and is one of the most used and safest planes all over the world ........ this is nothing the tires are supposed to be strong enuff to hold the plane up after a tire blowout.. with one tire left...... yankee planes are death traps ? lol too funny boeing is an american company and mabey its just me but they are the best built airplanes in the world !!!

  • compare dash incidents with any other manufacturer and tell me who has more incidents !!!! a tire flies off on landing and the plane is a piece of crap hahaha, everyone lived, proper maintanace and pilots doing there checks before take off helps to notice small problems like a loose tire !!!! plame the airline not the plane ;)

  • got to love the Crash 8 Q  400 what a shit airplane.

  • Bombardier and Goodrich really needs to redesign the landing gear! The Q400 airplane itself is actually pretty good, but the landing gear is the Achilles Heel. I see a future of either no Q400s in commercial service, or lots of Q400s with nearly indestructible super-reliable landing gear.

  • Isn't the operation of portable electronic devices during that phase of flight a violation of Federal Aviation Regulations? I dont think that camera should have been on and taping.

  • camera's unlike cell phones and laptops do not have RF chips to interfere with the operation of aircraft.

  • Just to clarify, I'm not saying the camera operating caused the incident. I'm just asking, should the camera have been operating or did the passenger violate a Federal Aviation Regulation.

  • Thats true, but I don't think a electronic device could do that cind of problems...

  • Yup the passenger violated an FAR... but getting this piece of footage transcends that completely because it lets the NTSB and manufacturers clearly identify what transpired. As a pilot I'm kinda glad he/she did film it.

  • Did you see that MSNBC and other networks are showing the wheel falling off and the other (different) plane collapsing as the same plane? How is that possible? One plane collapses and one doesn't. Plus, how could the plane that collapsed be back in service so fast? Media manipulation again!!

  • It is different of plans by that model

  • The Landing gear collapsing scene is from a Scandinavian Airlines plane I think.

  • Thats correct! :P

  • Hey brookhyper: Amazing how many people have looked at this since this AM. When I looked, I think there were about 300 views. How do you feel about the networks showing both planes as the same one? So obvious they are different situations!!

  • Yeah I know... :P

  • @gainup That bothered me as well. But you know how the media "experts" are...

  • Comment removed

  • hmm like astraweb said:

    this looks like a maintenance error to me. Prob caused by a wrong torq vallue of the mainwheel nut and not locking it right. But nice cam shot, you can even see the wheel, spacers and even the brake all taking off. Ans still rolling.....fail safe....:-)

    For music Check on you tube:

    Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.

  • lol... ale jak koleś wyczuł że właśnie to koło się oderwie... chyba że w USA wszyscy przy lądowaniu filmują koła, skrzydła itd :D

  • dobrze że to jedno koło zostało przynajmniej i nikomu się nic nie stało:)

  • what's with the music? does anyone have a version of this video with the audio from the report?

  • I'm trying to fix that problem...

  • Thx man. Good clip in any case. A little scary actually. I've flown on these planes about 5 times.

  • Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.

  • technical glitches? if i remember right, every accident/incident with the q400 was pilot error (Colgan 3407) or improper maintenance procedures (SAS)... Some people, including the media, give a perfectly good plane a bad name because the pilot pulled up in a stall, or someone put the gear assembly together wrong... I dont see how this is the plane's fault... Poor Description
