That and the door itself hitting the concrete probably bent the frame and the door. Also, AA probably doesn't have the type of maintenance in Dublin that can fix it and you can't fly the plane somewhere else.
@@scpatl4now You could do a pilot only ferry flight at low altitude. Boeing have a hangar at Gatwick. That said, it's operating again today so it looks like it's been repaired.
That's going to cost one helluva lot of money to repair. After repair it's going to need rigorous checks to ensure it's fit for service prior to carrying any passengers.
All aircrafts are always insured. So, repairing cost is the least of the concern for AA. But missing one aircraft from a busy summer schedule means loss of lots of revenue for AA.
@@nav27v Not true. Technically two of the first planes were used for destructive testing but that was always the plan, so might not count. You should find a picture of how much the wings bent during the "ultimate-load wing-up bending test" [150% of anticipated in-service max load]. Truly an amazing picture. But reports in February said that EirTrade was just about to start dismantling the first two 787s at their facility in Prestwick, Scotland. It did not know where the two planes were from.
Glad you covered this video cos was there working on the day when that incident happened. I didn’t fully witness the jet bridge collapsing fully I only saw pictures of the result. The jetbridge is fixed and should be operable and the door of N812AA looks to be fixed even though it’s scheduled for a flight out to Tulsa.
Aer Lingus operates out of terminal 2 at Dublin so I presume that's where the incident happened. Given hotel prices in Dublin at the moment, I wouldn't like to have American Airlines' bill to accommodate any passengers.
Yes, from the image, it appears to be Gate 400 in Terminal 2, maybe Gate 402. Anyway for the USA Preclearence gates (which American uses) it would be 400 to 423 in Terminal 2.
I think this plane may end up being "patched" and then flown to AA's Tulsa, Oklahoma maintenance facility for more extensive repairs, possibly including a full C-check to make sure everything is okay.
I hope we get to see how it is repaired. The 787 is built of composites so it wont be the usual aluminum fuselage repair procedure. I also wonder how much it will cost to repair and how long it will take.
Everytime I move the jet bridge to the door, I always make sure the shoe is under the door of the plane when opened the shoe, is meant to keep the jetbridge and the door level so when passengers planes or deplanes it doesnt go up and down.. looks like a faulty shoe under the door
I said fuselage, not door and the image at 0:50 shows a damage well below the the frame of the door. I think that should it be a damage referred to any of the metal part surrounding the door, part of composite attached to it would probably have gone as well.
Sending a replacement aircraft mean a lot of money for any airline company. But can't escape responsibility. Thankfully, they can use Air Lingus's help here.
As silly as this sounds, this could take months to be airworthy again depending on where facilities are to carry out repairs on a composite fuselage and the extent of the damage. It may even be rendered a total loss as if the fuselage is compromised it’s not like an aluminium body where you simply rivet in new sections and skin.
Anyone know if they can indeed fix it. Composites are great but fixing something that was ripped out. Be interesting to see what they do. Simple flying… your mission should you choose to accept it….. 😂😂
Ryanair will tell you this is why they don't use jetbridges.
😂😂😂
For ryanair is because they must pay,
Ryanair is great
IKR 😂
@@MrGmail69cant u just take a joke man 😅
I can only imagine how inconvenient it must be for AA to have this 787 on the ground at DUB for several days during the summer season.
Going to be some structural damage to the door frame if it’s still on the ground
That and the door itself hitting the concrete probably bent the frame and the door. Also, AA probably doesn't have the type of maintenance in Dublin that can fix it and you can't fly the plane somewhere else.
@@scpatl4now Dublin has the repair facilities to fix it there
@@scpatl4now You could do a pilot only ferry flight at low altitude. Boeing have a hangar at Gatwick. That said, it's operating again today so it looks like it's been repaired.
It’s already in Tulsa (AA maintenance base).
I wonder how they were able to fix this temporarily on short notice to ferry the plane to Tulsa. Duct tape would help in this case I guess😂

Yes it will cost a lot, whoever pays. Your point is well taken.
It will be repaired. Remarkably not a single 787 has yet to be written off or retired. I don't think anyone wants to be the first.

I’m glad no one was in the doorway when that happened.
A video on how long it takes to break even on the purchase of a aircraft for a liner would be cool to see.

Already done!
Tommy Boy was seated next to the L2 door. When the door fell off he said "WHAT'D YOU DO!?"
looks like the door decided to “break on through to the other side”
😂😂😂
D’oh!

It'll be alright, just stick the door back on with some gaffer tape.
They've got other doors they could use.
Use duct tape just to be sure.
I'd like to see a follow-up report. A short?
P.S. It ain't going to polish-out.
Hopefully this was a technical error, and not some poor employee’s fault.
Probably a combination of both
Even if it was a technical problem, unless it was a design flaw the maintainers will probably be the root cause.
Good thing it's fixable, but at Dublin's expenses
Insurance will probably pay

Those facts at the end of the video. Nice addition.
N812AA is scheduled to ferry to Tulsa (TUL) later on from Dublin. Assuming they fitted a temporary door until this aircraft gets a new one.
One is already being sent there
What does Jeff Bridges say about this?
So what caused the jetbridge to collapse in the first place?
It seems a collapse of hydraulic system of jetbridge once close to the fuselage. Big problem for the composite fuselage of the 787 anyway
the door and the door area is made of Al alloy, its not all composite.
I said fuselage, not door and the image at 0:50 shows a damage well below the the frame of the door. I think that should it be a damage referred to any of the metal part surrounding the door, part of composite attached to it would probably have gone as well.
Great pronunciation of Dublin!🎉
How come?
name the maker of the Aerobridge ?
Who was the manufacturer of the airbridge?
very lucky no one was stepping in / out of the aircraft at that moment.
Sending a replacement aircraft mean a lot of money for any airline company. But can't escape responsibility. Thankfully, they can use Air Lingus's help here.
aer lingus or anilingus, I love them both
Happens to the best of us
Will they fix a new door on the 787
I wonder what caused the jet bridge to "fail."
flew on this one dfw-cdg last month

I flew in on that aircraft from Chicago to visit my family in
N Ireland.
The aircraft seems to be able to flying again on flight AA9779
All I see now is lots of overtime for the AOG recovery crew
Simple Flying is truly by simpletons, for simpletons.
The Dublin airport authority will probably have to cough up i reckon
At least they can grab a tube of super glue and glue the door back on the plastic fuselage.
Why not stick the door back on the plane and use Duct Tape?
They should just put some clear plastic over it like people do when they can't afford to have the broken window on their cars replaced right away.
RIP the Door
Somebody forgot to put the auto level on???
Thats gonna be an expensive fix :(
Unusual thing... 🤔
thank god the slide didn't open
Oh no!
It’s flying to the Tulsa base now.
Insurance will cover the cost. Big deal.
Not an easy fix and extremely expensive. We don’t know if the door frame was damaged 😮
An absolute disgrace 😤
lols
Whose insurance will pick up the tab for this?
OOPS!
Kinda need the door.
Did paddy and mick build the jet bridge,,not a laugh for the airport and aa,,,and staff
Go home, airbridge, you’re drunk.
Sorry I can't resist, it's because your mum was standing on the jet bridge threshold.
Come on now.
Thats an oof!
Anyone know if they can indeed fix it. Composites are great but fixing something that was ripped out. Be interesting to see what they do. Simple flying… your mission should you choose to accept it….. 😂😂
the door and door area is Al alloy
Did they drug and alcohol test the employee operating the jet bridge?
That's a good sign preventing the Irish from heading to druggie America but if it was heading to Banger's the Irish would go Bonkers
Oops!! 😂
Lemme guess: Boeing will blame this on the airline, and to everyone else EXCEPT themselves. 🤣
Grow up..!!! what are you like 12 ??
@TheCrashyBoi does that so-called, opinion of serious problems of the Airbus planes involve murdering 346 people?
So much for the luck of the Irish. 😜😜
I'm gonna say hydraulic failure

You're starting to get scared of the dark with Boeing airplanes.
