BRAND NEW Air Crash Investigation - Deadly Reputation (Part 1/3)

TAM Airlines Flight 3054 (JJ 3054) was an Airbus A320 airliner, registration PR-MBK, operating as a scheduled domestic passenger flight between Porto Alegre and São Paulo, Brazil, which crashed upon landing during rain in São Paulo on July 17, 2007.[6] The twin-engined turbofan aircraft overran the runway, crossed a major thoroughfare during rush hour, crashed at high speed into a TAM Express warehouse adjacent to a filling station and exploded.[7][8] There were 187 people on board: 181 passengers, 19 of them TAM employees, and 6 crew members.[1][2] All passengers and crew were killed in the crash,[9] in addition to twelve people on the ground.[10] At the time, Flight 3054 had the highest death toll of any aviation accident in Latin America, but was surpassed by the crash of Air France Flight 447 in 2009. It remains the deadliest accident involving an Airbus A320 anywhere in the world.[4]

This is a disgrace.

a) Why was this plane allowed to land without both thrusters fully working (irrespective of the conditions).

b) Why was the plane allowed to land on a treacherous runway in poor conditions?

c) Why did the pilots not express their concerns to air traffic control?

@jimmyccfc a) they didnt know

b) because a320s are expected to slow down fastly

c) because the plane is running out of feul so they have to get on the ground immediatley

What a bummer. Once the plane gets down onto the runway you think you're safe, generally speaking. But this one touched down as normal, and then went and killed em all anyway.

Congonhas is now the busiest airport in the world. He says that about every airport in this programme. Weird.

It's because beurocrats has such short term visions...they can't imagine " the needs for an airport to expand over the long term.
