Hope everyone is ok

GerardoG · 9 September 2015, 12:44 PM

Looks like it happened during takeoff

Angrypuppy · 9 September 2015, 12:45 PM

As a pilot they say you earn your yearly pay on one flight every year. That was the flight for that crew.

Nice work by the crew to get everyone off. Here is the audio from the tower. Interesting to listen to.

Glad they didn't get off the ground. Good job by response crews.

Tri-Tip · 9 September 2015, 01:25 PM

As we say in So. California..."no bueno". Heard there were just 14 minor injuries, probably from the slide. Amazing with that noxious smoke that everyone got out.

INCREDIBLE work by the fire crews to get in there so fast. Crazy that they train for this, and some firefighters might go their entire careers without ever encountering an actual plane fire (thankfully).

Based on the recording, the Pilot seemed to keep his cool better than the tower operator.

GerardoG · 9 September 2015, 02:48 PM

I agree. Amazing job by pilots, crew and fire department.

SpunkyQ8 · 9 September 2015, 03:02 PM

Glad no one seriously hurt

Perfect evac, all slides deployed. Huge well done to crew and airport FD.

It's just been 30 years since this happened -

Which changed the whole way runway fires were reacted to and dealt with and how aircraft are designed and operated. It's good to see all the changes working so well to save lives.

Thanks god everyone is safe

Engine stall prior to V1.

TheBluePrince · 10 September 2015, 12:05 AM

F me, pardon my French but just looking at the pics emerging of people evacuating and vast majority of them are carrying bags and carry on cases, some of them with two each! The absolute definition of selfishness and stupidity. Every one should be identified and charged/fined heavily for breaching aviation safety rules and banned from all airlines forever. Idiots.

I totally agree. It's completely ridiculous. If anyone in front of me ever tried that in an emergency evacuation I would not let them slow me down even 1 second to stop and take their baggage. In some of these instances you literally only have seconds.

X2 totally agreed. Getting the heck off the plane and surviving is 1000000000% more important than any junk in an overhead bin that is replacable. That was definitely a situation where it could have easily gotten far worse and those precious seconds could have been all the difference.

Ruud Van Driver · 10 September 2015, 12:53 AM

If idiots in front of me were doing that in an evacuation situation, I would trample over them without hesitation. Absolutely unbelievable crass stupidity of the highest order. I hope BA ban them from the airline.

I'm not totally convinced it was an engine fire either.

There's a lot of metal bent outward on the inboard side of the engine. It looks like something left in a hurry, which may have damaged fuel systems in the wing. Heat venting from the engine would have lit up any fuel spillage.

Are their any 777 drivers on TRF? They'd have a better perspective.

Here is a video of a containment test. All the parts are supposed to stay within the nacelle or spill out the back. Sometimes it doesn't happen that way though.

Props to Boeing for designing an aircraft that can take an uncontained failure with only injuries from a slide. I remember the Quantas A380 was also able to land after an uncontained failure. Thank you modern engineering.

My absolute respect and gratitude to the captain and his crew for saving their passengers.
