Kalitta Air Boeing 747 accident

[maverick63082]

At the filming of this video, Connie Kalitta was sending his best techs to the scene to glue/tape it back together enough to do a ferry flight to Tijuana so he could hide it from the FAA while it was overhauled and repaired.

[jonny2387]

Had the courier who was on this flight on my flight the other day. Heard the first hand story of what happened from inside the cockpit!

[Marineperson]

what about the cargo's escape slide?

[StellarSoldier001]

Well... any landing you could walk away from?

[madisonelectronic]

Fucking belgian waffles are heavy, especially in the tummies of fat belgian she cows on a sightseeing trip.

[houshidar558]

damn thats an old 747 its a 747-100 and even after 30 decades+ of flying t was still going most are retired cause of its age yet this one crashed another one dead :

[biessewallon]

Est-ce qu'on a réussi à recoller les morceaux ?

[Chrisss22]

Dont see the point in giving it a wash !!

[nellymazbaby]

@Chrisss22 that is the best thing i have heard for ages .so funny well done

[stockcar269s]

probably a Qantas aircraft in Kalitta Livery, who would fly Qantas these days, freakin stuff exploding in cargo bays, engines exploding, stuff falling off the aircraft, smoke filling cabins....no thanks, gone from being one of the worlds best airlines to positively 3rd world these days

[Draxindustries1]

Fuck me! Do the Kallitas crash every fucking thing?!

[vidPRODUCER1]

the airline is owned by Connie kalitta and his son the late Scott kalitta famed national drag racing legends from Michigan. the accident happened in Brussels.

[Renard380]

"runway 220" it's runway 20 actually

[MonacoBlast]

Seriously, though, what kind of glue would work best?......or is this not an RC model?

[boycoollike]

Just tape it back together And get the trip over with

[SanandreasKing23]

WHAT THE HELL AND WHERE THELL WAS THIS PLANE CRASHED AND SPLIT IN TWO

[TonyFirelli]

Their using water when theres no fire!

[TehAspic]

@TonyFirelli its actually foam to stop the fueslage from overheating so the engines dont CATCH on fire,

they're one step ahead the elements ;)

[TonyFirelli]

@TehAspic Ah ok thanks

[greatidk1]

lmao this is extremely funny to me

[AustraliaTwo]

That doesn't surprise me one bit.

[PakaBubi]

I think this was the plane that was used in the movie called Air Force One with Harrison Ford. This one or another Kallita Air plane. The second one crashed in Columbia few months later and Mr. Kalitta's brother got killed in the very same year. Hard times for him.

[middletech]

That looks exactly like the one that lands at LAX. Is there a systematic problem with the air line, poormaintenance , or was this a once only problem.

[Butters91VR6]

The plane is a cargo plane where the nose of the plane lifts up to open up the cargo hold. You can put busses tanks cars boilers everything. The people who loaded it before takeoff probally put something real heavy on a structural point and when he pulled back on the stick it broke like a stick.

[wimpie25]

And the pilot probably had a stick on that moment too.

[Siroydetijger]

the crash was actually caused by birdstrike!

[MrBritnic]

@Siroydetijger no it was a women driver.

[HotShot845]

Ehm no, why do you think there are loadplans? Just to avoid something like you said would happen. It's not like, we have 43 cargo plates en just put them in like you want.

[PSNgregiskool]

@Butters91VR6 Yoke, it's called a yoke, not a stick. The only large cargo plane that uses a stick is the C-17. Look it up.

[1563544575]

poor 747

[aligoulou]

fucked up maintenance on metal fatigue

[ChrisPCrunchy]

Im never going to fly with Kittylitter Air after seeing that. Im even reconsidering letting my cat crap on them!

[adamkeam]

Its a cargo airline... not passenger :/

[ChrisPCrunchy]

Yeah I always post myself in a large box when I fly.

Who can afford those excessive passenger airlines prices?

[adamkeam]

Lol >P

[RUBBERMOOG]

I bet the pilots had fun using that big slide.

[caganb]

looks like they are washing her at the end

[claudekc01]

"Hi Honey! How was work today?"

[43447]

Bad,....I'm broken ;)

[plavins1]

thats not that bad some elmers glue and roll of duct tape should do the job... lol

[Legoman92463]

did anybody die

[alienvspredator31]

no thank god nobody died but the idiot captain died a week later by being hit by a mack truck in florida, talk about final destination coming true

[1blondietuco1]

seriously?

[4ynga4anga]

made in usa))

[xterrasesc]

eww...it looks like a 100 series. Prob just snapped in half from sitting on the runway...jjk.

How did this happen?

[cyrix1986]

pffff, that can be buffed out, she'l be back in the air in no time

[xterrasesc]

lawl...just needs turtle wax.

[alienvspredator31]

In response to all the comments of the metal fatige factor, i work for Kalitta Airlines Oscoda Station, and can say that this was 100% Pilot Error, the plane weiged in at approx 3/4 million pounds, the pilot had the nose of the plane in the air when one engine cut out, he heard the noise, freaked out, slammed the nose back down after the point of no return so to speak, which caused the nose to be driven into the ground, that shock split the aircraft not into two but three large pieces.

[mellotrongirl]

Some kra-z-glue and duct tape & she'll go another 1,000 hours

[Kscorps2]

:( What a nice airliner.

[ienes2]

that plane is like a blick sardines, the sardines are the people =S

[FredLarsson]

This is a cargo plane.

[Aujasvi]

try readin up on the info section

[cedar1998]

thiats on brussels airport on my land belguim

[loopy1980]

thats a 150 million dollar whoopsy daisy

[freakystill]

what sucks is I live by Newark/New York Liberty Int'l, and I've seen this plane land here before..

[NickyAmerica]

cause, well due because its a 747-200 its probibly VERY old, so, airframe stress

[nam232]

even worst news, kalitta air just had another accident with a 747 in bogota, colombia. they were delivering flowers to their hub in miami for the company they were hired from, centurion air cargo. not one of their cargo planes landed at the airport here at miami international airport today. i think they' re in trouble.

[xXSteelPillowxX]

i feel bad for the owner of the airline for this incident and his sons death. RIP

[CrudeDude]

So you say you feel sorry for Connie Kalitta? The same Connie Kalitta that made his fortune hauling body bags filled with dope out of Vietnam? THAT Connie Kalitta?

[Afrocanook]

Did this plane touch down too hard? Seriously, I wonder if something like this can happen if a jet airliner were to hit a major air pocket.

[aznturtle1]

it was a aborted take off this 747 is really old and its prob metal fatigue

[badbird0001]

The owner of this airline has just lost his son Scott Kalitta in a Horrific motorsport accident... RIP Scott

[glennputzeys]

In the plane, ther were guns from teh CIA on bord and that's why nobody may entrance the plain,exept for the american .

[bmemodels07]

Bloody hell some damage there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cruznchik22]

oh man...i just came from frankfurt, germany...this is the reason why im so fucking afraid of flying...damn my curiousness for seeing this video...now im never flying on a plane again!

[wimpie25]

the chance that you die in an airplane accident is like 12 times lower as the chance of dying in a car accident

[Dannoo007]

70m$ write-off.

[cargdogs]

Ha ha. ...And why would a fire be highly probable if it had hit the railroad trakcs??

[Glodenox]

Because the contact between the plane and the overhead wires would result in electrical sparks. Combine this with the highly volatile state of kerosene vapors and you've got the perfect receipt for a big fire. Could be however that the electricity on the overhead wires would've been turned off quickly enough automatically in that case though.

[chrigel1234]

Yeah and think about the train that could possibly hit the wreck if it lies on the tracks.

[spacetronics]

On TV it looks remarkable but it is quite impressive in real live. You don't see it very well on the television images, but the airplane stopped about 10 meters from the railway tracks. In that case a fire would have been highly probable.

[planedudea380]

Whoa, theres something u dont see everyday, thankfully everyone was ok

[Tobi79FFM]

Happened on May 25th 2008 on Brussels Airport. Aircraft was on its way to Bahrain.
