I was on an American B-757 going to Hawaii at LAX in March of 06' and the captain aborted the takeoff from full takeoff power. I would estimate very close to V1.
He hit those reversers,speed brakes and wheel brakes HARD and the whole cabin had shit just flying everywhere.Chicks screaming, Kids crying.I loved it. Classic!!! lol.
@surfboyhawaii Every now and then, AA does run 737-800s to Hawaii. Continental uses mainly 737-800s from LAX to HNL, with some 763s from Newark and Houston. You're right, though. Seems like a long stretch for a 737.
He says they are allowing ops from 24 L and 24R,only, but obviously there is a departure off of 25L right in front of him. beware of the well meaning morons

Actually, the helicopter wasn't there to record that emergency landing, but to record Emirates inaugural flight from Dubai - Los Angeles with their new Airbus A380's.
@shellyoil32 Hundreds of accidents happen everyday, and don't always kill many, aircraft accidents happen but every few weeks/months and can kill hundreds.
@rufus324 that is absolutely wrong!!! there were two in one week in November alone!!! you're probably thinking that there were no crashes for commercial carriers in the usa....
American always claims to have have the best maintenance but there always seem to be an emergency on an AA plane yet i never once saw a delta jet land because of something like that and delta is way larger than AA.

@AngelAri613 ya it's pretty fun my dad works as a pilot and he invited my class to a field trip to an airport and he let us slide down the slide i got one of those home
@EGIPredator your an idiot, Aloha flew the 737-800 i belive, and i know anybody else that knows about aviation, will tell u aloha had flights to oakland, idk rememeber any where else,and alaska airliens flys 737's to hawaii, its not small, u can get a cessna there, just have to replace back seats for fuel tanks. u can make it, trust me ;)
OK i dont normally get involved in these but this discussion has been going on for long enough.
The aircraft that was involved in the incident on the 5th August 2008 was N192AN operating as AA31 from LAX to Honolulu. N192AN is a Boeing 757-200 as most people could tell due to the amount of doors and the nose shape.
are all of you guys this stupid. how much clearification do you need ints a Boeing 757-200 ill spell it out for you idiots sevenfiftyseven-twohundred. are you all good now.
WOW all you retards below its not even debateable for me it 1 million dollars for sure a 757-200, and who ever said it looks a little big for a 757 you really need to get to know your planes because thats the smal model of the 757 you can get a 300 which looks alot skinner. ANd the kid who said its deffintly a 737 should seriously die
dont post stuff if you have no idea what the hell you are talking about that is a 757-200 for sure and 737 has flat botom engies and a two slante vertical stabilaizer
It's a 757, look at the nose of the plane, it's rounded out and slopes down right from the cockpit windscreen. Also, it has round engines, they're either Pratt and Whitney's or Rolls Royce, a 737's engines are CFM-56's. So YOU'RE the one who doesn't know what you're talking about!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol wow really? its a Boing 737-600, that is 6th revision of the 737 Series, you can tell by the fact the ends of the wings are curved up, thats only done on the 737-600 and 777's.
Hi... Not sure if anyone will know this, but I am not overly familiar with the AA 757 Fleet. I am crew on 757-200, but the variant with the larger emergency exit aft of the wings. I notice on the AA 757-200, they have 2 over wing emergency exits on each sides. These appear not to have been used during this evacuation. Has any reason come to light about why they were not opened? If an evacuation was commanded on a BA aircraft, every exit would be used. I am just curious. Thank You.
Sorry, I am confused Are you trying to say that the aircraft that was evacuated at LAX, i.e. the one in the news footage above is NOT a Boeing 757-200?
Lol thats crazy , because the numbers bigger oh lulz . Yeah you're right some people are aviation retarded , like seriously. The only mistake I make with planes is probably the ERJ - 145 and the CRJ - 200 from one angle. And the A320/21. Other than that I'm fine.
The news anchor was wrong about which runways were open. 25L/R were closed for a short time. Later 25L was re-opened (the one where you see the plain landing on) Rwy 24L/R were never shown in the video
LAX is not really the best acronym to use at a place where security is so crucial. But then again, maybe it's just a lure to trap terrorists who think that the level of an airport's security is evident in their abbreviation.
Incidentally, i have flown for nearly 15 years and never had any sort of emergency with regards to boeing, i have however had 3 major emergencies whilst working on the Airbus fleet!!!!
The sample size you are drawing from is extremely small, IE just your experiences. There are tens of thousands of commercial airline pilots all over the world.
How often do you hear about a brand new car being recalled because of a design/engineering fault. Well aircraft design works in tha same way! Do you abanden the car for a different make of do you get it fixed and carry on, remember your paying thousands of pounds for this car. Well aircraft are the same. P.S i Do believe that Concorde was manufactured in Toulouse (France) that makes it European, and look what happened to that!!!!!
Again, it was an outside force that caused a mechanical failure, not an outright mechanical failure...lets see what happens to your car when its fuel tank is ruptured by debris...probably the same thing as what happened to the Concorde.
I HATE when people cite this accident when claiming the concord is unsafe, and by that extension, falsely say that is why it is no longer flown or produced.
As a Flight Attendant, the company i work for use both Boeing and Airbus. Both are equally well designed and do their job well, things that have to be taken into consideration are: the age of the aircraft, the conditions that it is flying in, and ultimately the engineers, if the engineer isnt doing his job correctly then the aircraft is not being maintained correctly, and lets face it how often have you gone in to work and your mind is not on the job in hand!
boeing made and still makes most of the commercial aircraft in the world, thats why their are more boeing crashes than airbus. airbus is good too. but it not necessary to be so opinionated on the internet, because all you do is offend people. youtube is becoming so corrupt with comments like yours.
If I offend people by saying that Boeing makes shitty airplanes...those people need to get some thicker skin...give me a break. And whether it's cars or planes, Europe still makes a better, more dependable product, whether we are talking Ford vs. Audi or Boeing vs. Airbus. So many boeing, mcdonnell-douglass and lockheed fatal air crashes because of mechanical failure, and hardly any from Airbus.
this is ridiculous. i have a solution that will be way more positive and constructive for you... be PRO AIRBUS( airbus is great). dont be NEGATIVE BOEING.honestly you will get alot more acomplished if you support your interest not just dis everything else.
Since that mechanical failure was due to an outside force, it is not relevant. I'm talking about recurring explosive decompressions (DC-10) and recurring cargo door failures (Boeing 747), and oh yeah, multiple recurring rudder servo valve failures(Boeing 737), not one-in-a-million double birdstrikes.
If you are speaking of AA flight 587, the pilot's violent and repeated stomping of the rudder pedals causing full deflection in both directions repeatedly caused the vertical stabilizer to break off shorty after takeoff. I'm not sure if that's what you are referring to or not.

Airbus aircraft are manufactured in Toulouse also!!!

How often do you hear about a brand new car being recalled because of a design/engineering fault. Well aircraft design works in tha same way! Do you abanden the car for a different make of do you get it fixed and carry on, remember your paying thousands of pounds for this car. Well aircraft are the same. P.S i Do believe that Concorde was manufactured in Toulouse (France) that makes it European, and look what happened to that!!!!!

Again, it was an outside force that caused a mechanical failure, not an outright mechanical failure...lets see what happens to your car when its fuel tank is ruptured by debris...probably the same thing as what happened to the Concorde.

I HATE when people cite this accident when claiming the concord is unsafe, and by that extension, falsely say that is why it is no longer flown or produced.

As a Flight Attendant, the company i work for use both Boeing and Airbus. Both are equally well designed and do their job well, things that have to be taken into consideration are: the age of the aircraft, the conditions that it is flying in, and ultimately the engineers, if the engineer isnt doing his job correctly then the aircraft is not being maintained correctly, and lets face it how often have you gone in to work and your mind is not on the job in hand!

I am surprised a 757-200 made an emergency landing

Yeah, usually they just fall out of the sky...that's why I try to use airlines that use airbus.
AdamJLemon 3 years ago
boeing made and still makes most of the commercial aircraft in the world, thats why their are more boeing crashes than airbus. airbus is good too. but it not necessary to be so opinionated on the internet, because all you do is offend people. youtube is becoming so corrupt with comments like yours.

If I offend people by saying that Boeing makes shitty airplanes...those people need to get some thicker skin...give me a break. And whether it's cars or planes, Europe still makes a better, more dependable product, whether we are talking Ford vs. Audi or Boeing vs. Airbus. So many boeing, mcdonnell-douglass and lockheed fatal air crashes because of mechanical failure, and hardly any from Airbus.

this is ridiculous. i have a solution that will be way more positive and constructive for you... be PRO AIRBUS( airbus is great). dont be NEGATIVE BOEING.honestly you will get alot more acomplished if you support your interest not just dis everything else.

.. your post is ironic.

Since that mechanical failure was due to an outside force, it is not relevant. I'm talking about recurring explosive decompressions (DC-10) and recurring cargo door failures (Boeing 747), and oh yeah, multiple recurring rudder servo valve failures(Boeing 737), not one-in-a-million double birdstrikes.

"recurring rudder servo valve failures(Boeing 737)"
Didn't the A300 had a couple of rudder issues (different from the 737 of course)?
travelsonic 3 years ago
If you are speaking of AA flight 587, the pilot's violent and repeated stomping of the rudder pedals causing full deflection in both directions repeatedly caused the vertical stabilizer to break off shorty after takeoff. I'm not sure if that's what you are referring to or not.

I really hate it when people talk like their experts when they really have no idea what their talking about.
