  • On the 4th of April 1977, Southern Airways Flight 242 was left with no choice but to execute an emergency landing, killing 72 on board. Engine failures from hail damages caused rapid loss of altitude, forcing the decision to land on Georgia State Highway 92. What was thought to be a smooth landing quickly turns for the worse as a passenger recalls fire blowing through the cabin as he tells the story of his fight for survival.

    • @9999AWC
      @9999AWC 3 года назад +10

      Just so you know the FO Lyman Keele Jr. was a former US Navy pilot who flew the A-4 Skyhawk and A-7 Corsair II. The captain William "Bill" McKenzie most likely thought that he could fly the plane perfectly fine and thus he would focus on all the other tasks at hand. That's called CRM: Crew Resource Management. If the FO is flying the plane perfectly fine, there's no need to switch over, especially considering that the Captain is already more in tune with radios, setting the instruments, checking the maps, etc. Switching who flies would've just forced both pilots to "reconfigure" themselves which would add more workload than necessary in an already saturated environment.

      Ahhh F/O's have just as rigorous training as a captain for emergency situations. Also not all F/O's are junior, they may have been furloughed from a former captain role or ex airforce. All pilots are meant to be able to handle these situations. Sometimes the captain will perform the emergency checks while the F/O flies the aircraft. If you cannot do either role you should not be sitting in either seat.

      @@Nsbanwait, field is better, absorb some fuel into soil, hard ground (may have impact rail or light poles on both side edges of highway cause the breakup of fuel laded wings) fuel will spread on surface. Field may also break the wheel but at least less friction (heat) if exploding that send passengers flying around (landing on hard ground that cause more injures). That is theory~I have simulator to study it).

      Guys, just think again about why jet airplane in the world always land at the asphalt runway and not on the grass between it. Coz soft surface will make the landing gear stuck on it and HIGH possibility of airframe damage uncontrolled.
