  • A Boeing 777 operating as British Airways flight 2276 turns onto the runway heading at Las Vegas Airport at 16:12:30. The captain advances the engines to takeoff power 6 seconds later, and the ground speed begins to increase. However, at 16:12:51, a loud "bang" is heard in the cockpit. One year later, at Chicago O'Hare Airport, a Boeing 767 operating as American Airlines flight 383 suffers a similar engine fire during takeoff. Find out what really happened.

      That's unfortunately not actually an absolute truth. There have been many cases of airliners suffering horrific fires on the ground, with dozens of fatalities and hundreds of horrific burn injuries, when there is every possibility that in the air the fire could have been extinguished. You would have tio get down to a case-by-case analysis to adjudicate this, and this BA crew obviously did the right thing at the right time, but your blanket statement that an engine failure before V1 is going to be a better outcome is not an obvious one.

We were in middle of Caribbean really liken' #1. Picked up couple pieces of metal just barely clearing Cuba, but the MIGs left when no longer a problem. Castro had said all would be shot down, but Leader was Russian. All fireboats out, and fire engines along path of decent, but Capt screwed 'em by landing on grass Threshold, bumping up onto foote w/last turns of the wheels. We had flown Lan Chile as had never had a crash, & on that day, they proved why!!

    Just something to point out, from the first moment the left engine caught on fire to foam being applied by fire services was 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the fire engines were actually rolling before the alarm sounded. A friend of mine was on duty that day and saw the first ball of fire. A great job by the BA crew and the fire crew.

      Over the years, that could have saved countless lives. It would be better if the overhead lockers were locked at all times after leaving the gate, until the plane was off the runway after landing. The cabin staff should have a key to open a single compartment if necessary during flight.
      If this became the norm, passengers would just accept it and take items they needed (such as medication) out in advance.
      Phones should also be completely banned from the overhead lockers, due to fire risk.

The original owner might continue to upload two older episodes in one, each of them in the newer text formatting. He won’t stop unless all episodes before Sichuan 8633 are in the newer text format.

You often leave out the fate of the passengers as on a number of previous videos, and on this one about the Las Vegas fire on a 777 you did not provide any information about if/when the evacuation actually began and the status of the passengers. I would recommend that you either stop doing a poor job at reporting these incidents, or spend more time providing information necessary for the viewer to understand the outcome. I used to really enjoy your videos because they got to the point and shared adequate information. However, now there are other sites which are doing a much better job that you in reporting these.

  • @ronaryel6445
    @ronaryel6445 2 месяца назад +5

    Thank you for a very nice video. If you are stopping a commercial jet on the runway through a rejected takeoff or you have an engine fire while taxiing, it's highly unlikely you will be using the other engine once you've stopped, so you might as well shut it off (it's not doing anything useful for you - assuming you have turned on the APU - and it could hurt you by injuring a passenger, or perhaps catching fire because the fuel leak is not confined to the side affected first). So turning it off keeps your passengers, crew and arriving first responders safer. As to the use of the engine bottles: if you know that the engine nacelle's volume is too small to benefit from discharging more than one fire bottle at a time, that is, half of the fire-suppressing gas would end up outside the nacelle blowing into the wind, then it might make sense to use one bottle, observe the result, and then use another bottle as needed. However, if that's not the case, use both at once because you really do want to put the fire out. The pilots should know this relationship if they are familiar with the aircraft, and it should be explained clearly in procedures. Lastly, any passenger disregarding flight attendants' instructions to leave personal items behind when evacuating poses a threat to the safety of others. Such passengers should be banned from flying that airline again and should be subject to prosecution by the FAA, which can impose fines and also ban them from flying. Any passenger who is injured due to interaction with another passenger's suitcase or handbag on the evacuation slide or on the wing emergency path should find a lawyer and file a lawsuit against the offender.

    13:19 Relevant NTSB report extract: "The captain did not perform the remaining steps of the engine fire checklist (which applied only to airplanes that were in flight) and instead called for the evacuation checklist. The left engine was shut down as part of that checklist. However, the flight attendants had already initiated the evacuation, in accordance with their authority to do so in a life-threatening situation, due to the severity of the fire on the right side of the airplane."

      Pilots have IFER (In-Flight Emergency Response) checklists for pretty much all potential emergencies that they are required to go through when they happen. This ensures that no vital steps are skipped as a result of human error. If you've been trained to deal with these kinds of situations, you would know that going through the appropriate list(s) is the only thing to worry about.

    Not sure about the civilian aircraft, but on military planes, they paint red lines around the engine pods to indicate where compressor blades and other such shrapnel can come through the engine area. Saw one, after the engine disintegrated. It was sobering to think one could get hit by those blades in areas like the flight deck.

    This may have been mentioned but the interphone pictures were swapped, with the "classic" interphone being labeled as the one onboard, that used in training most likely was the older model from the 1980's, or 90s, that would not have been onboard, in fact the one used for training was likely the one that looked like the 1980's vintage and the more confusing model would have been the newer interphone onboard that confused the attendants. And the "discrete white spot" in the microstructure picture was not explained, what was it? Pearlite? Martinsite? Hydrogen embrittlement? .

    • @rich_edwards79
      @rich_edwards79 2 месяца назад +2

      Takeoff, unlike cruising or landing, requires full power; throttling the engines up is when any faults are most likely to manifest.
      Whether takeoff can be completed on one engine will depend on multiple factors - takeoff weight, weather conditions etc.
      Once at cruising altitude, modern airliners are designed to be able to fly on one engine. They wouldn't be certified for operation over water otherwise.
      Provided that the fire is extinguished / under control and no damage has been caused to hydraulics, control surfaces etc there's no reason the AC can't return to the airfield snd land safely.

    • @ntkVaL
      @ntkVaL Месяц назад

      I think at the time of the incident the heading for the runway is still 07 for both left/right but due to "Change in Magnetic Poles" which is a thing (science) "The magnetic North Pole has shifted. In truth, it's always moving by about 40 miles per year" according to google, this causing the FAA to check every 5 years that if the heading of the runway change more than 7 degrees they have to change to runway number. To this day Las Vegas (KLAS) now already change the runway to 08L n 08R since 2017 and also because I think they use a new updated airport mod so that's why in the video it show 08L not 07L. sry for the grammar I'm not good in english ;(
