On take-off-watch the tires smoke, watch the rudder and listen to the engines. A #1 engine surge caused this aborted take off, this happened back when KSJC had one main runway. Note how the Jet was pushed to the left and smoked the tires, and then a full brake to a stop on the runway....A Reno Air MD-83 on a 5 mile final had to do a go-around- and the SJIA Airport Fire Rigs eventually rolled down to Cargo to assist this jet. It took off about 2 hours later. Part of this film was used on the KTVU-2 10 oclock news that evening - as the Lead story. I was paid $120 for about 15 seconds of video. When I filmed this, I did not notice the jet was having difficulties - I had no idea the Pilot was going to abort the take-off.

  • @1065chris That's part of the rejected-takeoff procedure for ANY large aircraft.

  • @n5iln oh I just thought that because he had to use the spoilers to slow down.

  • Co-Pilot: Well lets go

    Pilot: Ok

    Co-Pilot: Did you get those cookies i wanted

    Pilot: O crap!

  • @1065chris He had plenty of time...he hadn't even rolled a thousand feet yet. Unless you have four or five thousand hours of PIC time, don't try second-guessing the guy in the left seat.

  • any faster and he woundn't been able to abort.

  • i hope my fish wasnt on there

  • why he has abordet the takeoff???

  • @jjjazzycraig Absolutely moronic.

  • Why does everyone think they hit a bird....They had a 1 engine surge and aported...The smoke was the brakes being applied...@berrgut111 why does Southwest have bad pilots?
