Probably a blown tire because they do just fail, then braking hard with the drag of the blown tire locked up and blew the second tire.

Nothing the pilots could have done different that wouldn't have caused worse damage and potentially loss of life.

      @bigblue207 8 месяцев назад

      @@kamilhorvat8290no, I’m sure you don’t mean it that way but that’s a highly insulting thing to say. For one many people don’t consider the most dangerous parts of flying by far are taking off and landing, probably because it’s so routine. When you’re hurtling towards 100+ knots on an 80 or 150 ft wide runway, that’s the worst possible time for things to go wrong. The fact everyone was able to walk away intact is a testament to everyone involved from the maintainers to the pilots.
      Down the road, you may be right. We might find out that there was some delinquency with a maintenance check, or maybe it really just was all the brake energy from a high speed abort exceeding the limitations of the system. But considering high speed aborts aren’t very common when there are probably hundreds of thousands of takeoffs occurring all over the country every day of the year, when these planes are getting used and abused day in and day out, is even more of a testament to the standards and procedures that have been developed over the years. And if they find some kind of new takeaway from this incident, it’s only going to add to that heritage of safety and risk management.
      People love to focus on the one time everything goes wrong, and not the 99.9% of the time something that should be as borderline impossible as flying a hundreds of thousand pound plane goes smoothly. Luckily that’s exactly what the pilot mentality is, to prepare for that slim margin of error. I don’t know if everything in this instance operated exactly as it should’ve, but I’d say that’s the most likely outcome. These are mechanical parts, which can and will fail eventually. I’d say until proven otherwise, the maintainers deserve the dignity that we assume they care as much about the safety of the passengers and crew as anyone else would, and even if there was an oversight that’s nowhere near enough sufficient commentary on the profession of aircraft mechanic as a whole.

    • @vbscript2
      @vbscript2 8 месяцев назад +1

      It depends a lot on where you are. At a hub like this, they may have a spare plane (and crew) available to switch the flight to. At an outstation, however, they'd usually have to fly in another plane from a hub, so then it depends on how far they are from a hub they can fly one in from. That being said, I suspect that this particular flight was probably cancelled entirely given that the passengers would have had to evacuate on the runway and their bags would still be in the plane until it could be moved and unloaded. If they had to evacuate via the slides instead of via stairs, then their carry-on luggage would have also been stuck on the plane.

    Maybe a dumb question: non pilot here... why would there be enough heat in the brakes to cause a fire at the beginning of takeoff? Doesn't seem like brake usage during taxi would be enough to cause that unless the pilot was 'riding' the brake? Scary!

    • @DouglasCarnall
      @DouglasCarnall 8 месяцев назад +2

      It was a takeoff roll, not a taxi. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed. If the wheel/brake/tire was faulty, all of the energy from two jet engines powerful enough to lift several hundred tons into the air was instead being dissipated through friction with the runway surface.

    • @jonahfinademz8646
      @jonahfinademz8646 8 месяцев назад +1

      Sometimes when you line up and wait on the runway and there is a small delay the Captain may set the parking brake instead of holding the brakes with his toes on the rudders. Once given the takeoff clearance he forgot to release the parking brake and applied takeoff power with the parking brake still on. The tires locked by the parking brake will go flat once the heat reaches the safety plug melting point and the hot air is then released and eventually the rubber tire will burst into flames and the wheel grinds the metal on the concrete runway. Expensive mistake, just hold the brakes on the runway instead of using the parking brake. Captain’s are doing leg day workouts everyday using those rudders and brakes because they can feel heavy if your legs are weak.
