[samwong92]

they will never start engine at the gate, it's too dangerous

[intiractive]

i didnt even know manchester could accept 747s! ive flown in there multiple times and never seen any. thats so cool

[yoyoyoyoshua]

it's not the engine. if it was then the smoke would be behind the plane.

[marciliio]

Diesel smoke, from some tractor...

[dkamcomie]

That smoke is from an Air-Start. Not the #3 engine. It's at the front of the plane, to far forward to be from the #3. Also if it where coming from the # 3, you would see it at the back of the engine. This is almost coming from the front cargo area. I had to watch the video 3 times to see the smoke, I was so focused the first 2 times looking at #3 thinking, WTH is the smoke?

Are you sure that it's not the ground personnel that smokes pot in the airbridge?

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@DetEJagDe pot smoke is white.

[charlieiscool1000]

is that normal i thought the engine shouldnt smoke even when ur starting up

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@charlieiscool1000 no they do but this can't be the engine. plus from what I remember when the engine smoke's on engine start it's white.
