    I like the concern the Captain was showing regarding the weather and landing conditions at LGA and his concern was obviously for the safety of his passengers. I'm not faulting him at all. The conditions of that runway were not what he was expecting to see and he had been dealing with a tailwind and had also been told breaking actions were good. He kept the plane from going into the river and all lives were saved. This could have been so much worse. Personally I'm proud of him and his crew.

      It's a habit of the NTSB, is a pilot performs any less than by the book they'll get some blame unless the accident is deemed inevitable even if the pilot did 100% ok. I understand that they want to remove human factors from accidents but sometimes they go too far on blaming the crew that they miss the core situation that created the accident in the first place. Heck they tried to blame Sully for the accident on the Hudson, but eventually they had to concede that considering the situation it was the best course of action.

      @MaxM2000 technically they never "blame" anyone. They only list "contributing factors" in order of priority. But sometimes they get so affixed to specific factors that they miss more important factors or even the core factor.
      The ATR icing incidents are examples of that. The investigations focused too much on pilot error as the primary factor that they didn't notice that the manufacturer was trying to cover up a design defect on their anti icing systems. After more incidents happened finally the investigation focused on the performance of the anti icing systems. It went to a point that there was an airworthiness directive banning ATRs from operating in any possible icing conditions until the anti icing systems were properly redesigned.

    @jessicasnaplesfl7474 2 года назад +268

    Don't blame the Captain. He was surprised to see snow on his runway when he expected it to be cleared off and he was unsure of the braking distances. He was rightfully afraid of flying off LaGuardia's short runway into Flushing Bay, and a fairly strong tailwind added to his concern. That's the reason for his aggressive reverse thrusters. He hoped to counteract what he saw as an unexpected increase of danger due to poor conditions.
    I find fault with the design of this very successful airplane. The rudder and steering controls should NOT become ineffective when subjected to the wash from the highest power of the reverse thrusters. (This is like having the brakes of an automobile fail when its speed exceeds 120 mph+ on a car with a top speed of 200 mph.) This design leaves little margin for perceived extreme circumstances like those experienced by these pilots that led the Captain to maximize the reverse thrusters. Pilots are humans too. He turned on those reverse thrusters IMMEDIATELY when the main gear touched the runway, showing his mindset of being SUPER-CONCERNED with STOPPING in time.
    Perhaps the Captain's heightened concern was partially due to LaGuardia's bad reputation and consistent posting of accident photos in the media over decades of airplanes running off LaGuardia's runways into Flushing Bay or the East River on takeoff or landing and other accidents on or around LaGuardia. Half of Long Island's and Queens' daily commuters pass by LaGuardia and regularly experience low flying airplanes only a few feet over their cars and the fence that separates the airport from the parkway.

    ***I was pushing BOTH my feet heavily into the floor in front of the couch where I was seated while watching the seemingly unchecked speed of this airplane dashing down LaGuardia's runway. It didn't seem to slow down. Much credit due to FLIGHT CHANNEL'S VIDEOGRAPHER! I was THERE!

      Agree about not providing the most up to date into to the pilots especially given the conditions. Maybe the pilot didn’t divert because of air traffic or availability. Dunno that part. Also not sure if a touch and go was possible. Once he decided to apply a strong reverse thrust, I think he was all in for landing.

    So this video frustratingly leaves a lot of information out. So this information should clear up most viewers questions.
    Airline Pilots Association contradicts the NTSB and expresses disappointment in their findings and oversights of other factors that led to the near miss. "The N.T.S.B.’s single probable cause failed to fully and directly acknowledge the multiple factors that contributed to the accident"
    29 passengers received minor injuries in the accident, but no one spent anymore than two days in a hospital. There were no fatalities. The aircraft sustained "significant" damage during the off-runway excursion and crash into the earthen dam meant as a barrier to Flushing Bay.
    Captain Theodore W Lauer Jr and Co-Pilot David W Phillips both returned to flying after a period of re-training by Delta.
    The most significant criticism leveled to the flight crew by the NTSB wasn't the rudder blankening event, but the slow and disorganized response to evacuating the aircraft, in particular, the lack of training and response by the flight attendants in evacuation procedure. They waited over 12 minutes before ordering the evacuation, left their coverage of the emergency exits multiple times out of confusion and lack of communication, allowed passengers to bring down luggage, and it took 17 minutes to get passengers off the plane as it was critically leaking fuel. The disorganized and chaotic response to the evacuation order was captured and uploaded onto youtube.
    Thankfully, the NTSB did issue a safety advisory to the FAA and to Boeing over concerns regarding its rudder blankening as well as lack of safety advisories over reverse thruster inputs when outside of safe engine parameters. It also faulted the Port Authority of New Jersey and New York for their lack of hourly weather and runway reports during the two hour period the runway was closed, which was a contributing factor to the stress of the pilot and the accident that followed.
    The Port Authority responded three years later in 2018 by suing Delta and Captain Lauer. The suit is still pending action.

    I live a short drive away from LGA. I've flown to and from quite a bit of domestic airports.

Flying so close to the water while landing, especially in less than ideal weather is not my idea of adrenaline rush.

    An interesting little known fact about this incident is that there was a small risk of becoming a total air disaster like Tenerife. When Delta landed and departed the runway, there was damage to the radio bay under the cockpit that rendered the airplane's radios unusable, so Delta could not tell the tower what happened. In addition, the visibility was poor enough that the tower could not see what happened. The flight approaching behind Delta was already cleared to land before Delta had even touched down. It took another plane taxiing nearby to tell the tower about what had happened for the tower to tell the subsequent flight to go around. Had this lucky event of having another plane nearby not happened, the subsequent flight would have landed with Delta disabled next to the runway. Most likely still nothing bad would have happened yet, since Delta was clear of the runway. But this incident highlights the risks of having 2 airplanes cleared to operate on the same runway at the same time, especially in conditions of poor visibility where the tower can't see the whole runway. In many parts of the world, ATC doesn't give landing clearances in anticipation that the runway will be cleared by when the airplane touches down. Instead, ATC tells the pilot to continue the approach and expect a late landing clearance. Only when the runway is actually clear and expected to remain clear (i.e. there is nobody on the runway and nobody else is or will be cleared to use or cross the runway), the landing clearance is provided. In conditions of poor visibility and without a ground radar, that includes the previously landing plane self-reporting clear of the runway. If the pilot continues the approach has not received the landing clearance, they cannot land, they have to go around, without the need of being told to do so.

      Operating jets in the snow is part of the job. If you go somewhere else every time the runway is contaminated you will be on a first-name basis with your Chief Pilot. Perhaps if he hadn't blanked the rudder with excess reverse this video might never have been made. He touched down 600 feet from the runway threshold. That's just about brick one. "Snow on the runway" is not a reason to divert.

    • @smakfu1375
      @smakfu1375 2 года назад +8

      They should have probably gone around (I'd like to think that would've been my call), but the flight crew was also given conflicting information about field conditions, KLGA is a freakin awful airport, in general, with just two intersecting runways that are too short (~7000 feet apiece) with water on three sides; weather conditions were pretty terrible and the aircraft was heavy. Frankly, the biggest problem is LGA itself: the runways should have been extended long ago, by at least 2,000 feet. The problem is it would require landfill and a billion EPA studies, possible use of Rikers, etc., so it will never happen. I wont even go into the nonsense of 31 still being localizer only, no glidescope (last I checked) - I mean seriously, you have a 7000 foot runway being used by commercial aircraft, with water on both ends, how the hell do they not have full ILS!?
      You'll read that LGA doesn't have an abnormally high incident rate, but that's only because every pilot operating at that airport is exceptionally careful, not because the airport, in its current configuration, is inherently safe (it isn't). One of these days, there will be a truly catastrophic overrun event. All the warning signs about LGA being unsafe are there, but like many dangerous things, it will only be dealt with when something bad enough happens. In the meanwhile, go through JFK or EWR instead.

      Yes. The MD88, unlike the MD90, had horrid brakes. These brakes were steel based, as opposed to carbon on the 90. They got hot and would "chatter" on the ground. They were not very effective at higher speeds. Add in the rudder issue, with reverse thrust over 1.3 EPR, and you have what happened. I'm surprised it didn't happen more often.

    I flew from Louisiana to O'Hare one winter. We didn't have snow in LA and it wasn't until we approached O'Hare that we were told the airport had just reopened. It had closed down due to a snowstorm. We didn't divert because-not sure why, so the plane landed and, as it did, it did a little skid, like a fishtail skid and I just held onto my armrests and prayed for the plane to hold together and for the flight crew's abilities. Along the way with our landing, I saw a plane that had gone off the runway into the median, so I held on tighter to the armrests and we stopped and were just fine, Thank God! I think I left claw marks in those armrests, though! LOL!

    FAA AC No: 150/5200-30C which was current at the time of this incident requires airport operators to have a snow and ice control plan in place. The plan at LGA had the tower making assessments as to the need for snow removal and they would stop traffic when they thought the rwy needed to be cleared. In these snowy and low visibility conditions the tower could not see the condition of the runway. Some other airports do it differently. The people in the plow trucks will assess the conditions and call the tower to stop traffic when they think it needs to be cleared.

    If I ever had concerns about runway braking, at 80 knots I would leave the reverse thrust buckets out and reduce the power to idle. Stowing the buckets means putting the engines back in forward thrust. Even at idle power, forward thrust is not a good idea on a slippery runway until you are assured of stopping on the runway. I learned this after watching a captain go back into forward thrust (per the book) in CLE on snow and we stopped with only five feet to spare.

  • @rojovo74

    I might put a smidgen of blame on that other plane (the one that didn't report braking conditions)...the captain even said that if conditions were anything less than "good", they're not landing, so obviously, they're going by the information they have based on what the other planes reported. What type of plane was the Regional jet? If you have a few different types of aircraft landing, wouldn't the procedures vary slightly with each aircraft? Maybe the pilots should make a habit of reporting their braking conditions upon landing, or at least make it a requirement for ATC personnel to request a report from pilots (provided that the pilots don't report).

    • @MatyasArby
      @MatyasArby 2 года назад +1

      ATC will ask for braking reports, pilots give them when requested or when they believe there is a hazardous condition. Regional jets are similar in speeds but smaller and weigh less. Yes procedures are different for every aircraft as are performance calculations for all phases of operation. You must understand LGA is a small piece of real estate with many aircraft operating on it. ATC is juggling many planes and airport ops vehicles, so getting a braking action report from each plane might not be his top priority after receiving 2 good reports from similar aircraft to the one landing. If you are interested you can listen to ATC on the internet. I'm not sure what website, but find LGA tower sometime and you can see for yourself what goes on.

    I used to live in College Point where I had a clear view of LGA’s runways. Because of the proximity of Flushing Bay, it’s a difficult airport to take off and land. I was in the hospital having emergency surgery at the time this happened, so I didn’t see it in real life. Also, planes landing at LGA come in very low directly over residential areas and the Grand Central Parkway. From my work in Jackson Hts., you could sometimes look directly into the cockpit and see the crew. This was especially true in the Autumn when they used a flight pattern so as to avoid flying right over the US Open tennis match. If one were going to plan Queens with a northern airport, you wouldn’t put it where it is.
