EMERGENCY LANDING

[adamsmrt]

There obviously WAS a problem and the emergency services were on standby for a reason. I work at Manchester airport and I know that they have other things to do thatn sit on taxiways watching planes all day!

As for the bird strike, it was April 2007 and was a Thomsonfly 757-200. The right engine was hit by 2 herons and the aircraft made an emergency landing.

[turkischboy94]

why emergency Landing? this nod emergency

[JCRailAirProduction]

nice vid

[chilledpenguin4]

What was the emergency?!?

[olbi182]

Its can no Electrical its can be A Smoethink in cockpit Failure or one of system or Complete Failure of engine Lost the fuel.

[CessnaLegend]

wasnt an emergency at all ... fire are the airport emergancy staff?

[r88ssy]

good old xl airways! haha, ive flew with them a few times and never had a decent flight yet!! dodgy fuckers!haha

[miclehendrix4420]

pilots had to pee and waste tanks were full...

[connorindahouse]

that was when there was an apartent bomb on board

[drakoniuks]

Actually, there was a bird strike during take-off on the right engine. Whole thing has been caught on camera. The video is somewhere on youtube or metacafe.

It is right there on the favourited videos. Everything was captured very clearly, including ATC communications.

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

theres a vid of another planes bird strike this was something else i think... different airlines.

[747fanatic]

that was a thomson fly aircraft

[liamr685]

are you sure your not talking about the thomsonfly bird strike which happend on the right engine on a 757?

[liamr685]

and if there was a bird strike why did the pilot use reverse thrust on the engine stated 'cos if there was a bird stike the engine would have been usless to se reverse thrust

[blueb0g]

no, that was a thomsonfly 757. And that landed on 05R not 23R.

[funkysam123]

xl airways

[shep2k7]

i think the left engine was on fire

[vectrect]

what where the pilots thinking? Maybe the cockpit window was all black and just had to rely on the GPS

[bulletprooftigga]

jordan a fag go burn n see urself

[pavan151]

what wos the emergncy there mate??

[smello99]

more fire next time please

[jordan24e]

Sick b******, if you want fire, just poor petrol over yourself and light a match.

*I take no responsibility if the idiot actually does it*

[CaulfieldProductions]

someones a little sensitive eh?

[jordan24e]

I'm sorry, I just find asking to see 200 people burn to death in an aircraft crash a little sick.

[CaulfieldProductions]

hes not asking to see 200 people burn to death in a crash, all he said was "more fire next time" that doesn't translate into 'i wanted to see it crash and watch 200 people burn to death'

[jordan24e]

And exactly what else do you expect to happen if an airliner catches fire? Are you seriously telling me that you see nothing wrong with asking to see videos of an aircraft burning with people on-board?

[CaulfieldProductions]

well the people don't necessarily have to burn, but maybe just the tire, or a few sparks lighting some dry grass on fire should be interesting...

[wildhart7]

loz that wasnt an emergency it was a flawless landing

[minimartinb]

what was the prople

Quote "777 can take 12 birds at the same time to no effect"

Yes, but can it take 12 albatrosses ?

[Waldfuerst114]

12 birds are really a little too much, a bird of only a half pound weight can destroy a whole jet engine. I´ve seen pictures of 737 engines which swallowed such little birds.

and this 752 defenitely hadn´t an engine failure. then if, it wouldn´t have use the reverses after touch down, the assymetrical deceleration would get the plane immediately off the runway.

[SDFlight]

@thewihitewookie:

You really believe it?? No plane can take 12 birds without any effect on the engines. And as an airraft mechanic believe me, the bigger the fan blades get, the worse the effects of a bird strike become.

[kingofflight]

what was the emergency???

[an147]

During take-off, the plane´s right engine swallowed a bird, engine banged and spitted fire out. So flew over Manchester where the pilots dumped fuel, and got back safely.

[kingofflight]

well they shud have sed it on the vid! but... THANKS ;)

[Thewhitewookiee]

777 can take 12 birds at the same time to no effect

[an147]

With those huge engines the T7 has, it can take even a vulture. ;)

[1littlelee]

not really a medium sized bird will fracture the fan blade, there is NO example of a fan blade taking a brid strike without damage, its just logic, besides I have suffered a bird strike in a jey aircraft at slightly faster speed

[lepape2]

Why do you drive your car averyday then if it's even more dangerous? I luv to fly!

[mmcfarlane001]

I flew from Rhodes to Manchester with Excel airways and we ended up having to make an emergency landing in Athens due to 'technical problems'. There is lots of information on the web about Excel aircraft running into difficulties - surely far too much for such a relatively small fleet?

My other experiences of this airline dictate that I'll never use it again - it's piss poor!

[velocityflier16]

its a 757 with RR engines

[winterflame1965]

what was the emergency???

[fatboydfg]

lol

[danieldj17]

there were no airbrakes on

[kuban01]

the right engine looks somehow smaller than the left one.....

[8BULLDOG8]

so who had the heart attack ??

[Pattii99]

The braks are not working::p

[Chuckjagermeister]

What was the emergency? One engine out?

[jackomabby]

BAHAHAHAH! TYPICAL EXCEL AIRWAYS I TELL YA XD I've flown with them once on a 767-200, we had:

2 aborted takeoffs

Tires blew when we got to stopover

(took 4 hours to change tires)

and All meals burnt to a crisp. (we thought there was an engine fire at first)

Also.. The same aircraft clipped wings with another aircraft a few days later.. gutted. XD

[fatevsthewarmth]

it really looks lyk it needs a emergency landing...but that the pilots are calm and they land the plane nice and safely

[gkfhjfgbfdjbglh]

Look at the engines, full reverse thrust lol.

But yeah, manchester, hella commercial certified landing.

BTW; if you were doing an emerg landing, you usually got to a commercially certified runway <_<

[jmr604]

If you have an emergency you can land where ever you want and nobody can stop you.

[gkfhjfgbfdjbglh]

Oh, I know, I am saying, it would be a lot easier and safer if you landed at a commercially certified runway

[karibrasuka]

who's gonna stop an airplane??? :S hahahahaha

[stupid0701]

yes it is a 757-200

[tompus1]

not rated for commercial jetliner use???? HAHAHA, ok then ;)

[Hwak005]

well the Strip looked like one that was not rated for Commercial Jetliner use. i agree with the other guys about the Airsick passengers and such

[ChrisAston]

This is Manchester International one of Englands busiest airports, it definatly is rated for Commercial Jetliners =)

[musicalaviator]

There are 4 commercial airliners viewable in the first frame alone. 3 of which are on the ground left of the runway.

[nintendo1107]

if there is firetrucks maybe there was highjackers

[CaulfieldProductions]

uhhhhhhhhhh firetrucks cant fight highjackers

[nintendo1107]

i mean how if the hijackers will blow the plane up they can fight them

[boeing747spec]

looks to be a 757? is it?

[lonley90214]

good job! did you look at the tittel?

[lloydwilson1990]

kl vid! yer i agree it could have been a sick passenger or anything it duz not jst hav to catch fire all th tym lmfao cya

[TwoBitBob]

Might have been Hydraulic's or anything...but thats the skill of the flight crew... make it look routine! Notice the fire truck and the roll out is longer than normal for this runway and a/c type.

[americanidolw]

what was wrong? Looks like a normal landing.

[krispykreme82603]

not all emergency landings have to have sparks and explosions...is could be anything from flap troubles to a sick passenger. most emergency landings made by planes dont involve anything too threatening. i was on a southwest airlines flight from LAS - PDX that had to turn around due to flap troubles, we got fire trucks and the whole deal, but a nice smooth landing ill tell ya that
