- A United Airlines Boeing 737 aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing at Bradley Airport in Connecticut on April 18th. This unexpected diversion was triggered by the report of a cockpit window abruptly 'popping open' while the plane was in mid-air, according to a report by The Aviation Herald.

From a rampers perspective, I'd say someone on the flight deck had their side window open at the gate and when they slid it forward and closed, they didn't push the handle fully into the locked position
Wasn't it the one that doesn't open that popped out
I'm not one to put the blame on the flight crew right away, but if I had to "guess" I would say most likely someone had the side window open for any number of reasons and didn't fully close and confirm it latched. And yes this does happens. I'm guilty of it while flying a DC-3 in Latin America, but no harm done since we were low and slow.
Interesting perspective and personal experience.
Im glad everyone is ok
The pilots did a Good Job by Diverting back to it's Flight origin, Thankfully 🙏 the Windscreen Window did not Came off upon Reaching Cruising Altitude Level but during the Initial Climb phase to Cruising Level flight, Which will pose a More Strangling Situation to the Aircraft.
Mentour Pilot onve said that you can open the window of a 737 inflight (when its unpressurized). The most ineresting part is that the nose of the 737 (727/707) ist shaped in a way that there is no air flowing into the cockpit while the window is open (at least when its flying straight ahead).
Excellent crisis management. All involved took a breath, regrouped, and executed a safe return.
It's a PILOT problem. LATCH your window next time junior !
What?? That was a BA pilot that got sucked halfway out the window...and he survived!
Two separate incidents. There was also an incident years ago with BA.
@@NoewerrATall that's what I just said. I didn't know there was a second one, though.
things could easily have been so much worse, take British Airways 5390, the captain was sucked out of the cockpit, somehow survived and returned to flying thanks to the flight attendants who stopped him flying out
This was due to the wrong bolts holding the windscreen in and the flight from Birmingham UK to Malaga Spain at 18000 feet over Didcot Oxfordshire on June 10th 1990. The plane landed safely at Southampton. Virtually the same bolts by the naked eye, but there were a difference.
That guy really suffered I tell you. If only ge had his seatbelt on at that time
Well! Not the first time this has happened is it? Who is to blame in this case. The manufacturer or the flight crew?
Sounds like a pilot didn't complete their "before engine start" checklist...
Flight ops to Maintenance: I'm not saying it's your fault.....I'm just blaming you....
Ridiculous story. With all the information given (blah Blah BLAH), it begs the question of what the altitude was when the window "popped" open. Critical detail, blatantly missing.
We Need Mechanics and Other people who are Perfectionists to work and watch over our aircraft’s, as if their own children were on every flight !😊
It's a newer model, and that shouldn't have happened. 😢
Lol no its not. Its 737 NG which is an older model
1st
NO MISTAKES ALLOWED ! Most airplanes crash because of HUMAN ERRORS. In the Airline business, there is NO ROOM for any Errors just to say , “ I’m sorry” later , after the fact it was a Human Mistake that should have never happened!!! As for me, I hate flying bc I put myself in stranger’s danger
Still wouldn't fly on this flawed and botched engineering coffin.
Such an old technology, what else one can expect? Re-re-rebuilding 737 and consistent on NOT designing a newer substitute reminds me of Soviet era bureaucratic attitude. With such a mindset in the West, Russia and China may take lead.
It’s not old technology at all. Everything in the plane has been updated and reworked with each generation. The only continuation is the airframe itself. Just like the A330neo is built on the original A300 airframe from the 70s. It doesn’t mean anything.
Nothing to do with the design of the plane #$%^&t the pilot did NOT LOCK the window properly it is a human error not design
@@FlyByWire1 putting a steam engine on gas and thinking its latest technology and no more innovation can be done :)))
@@Burzilman buddy the B737 cockpit window can be opebed. Most likely thd pilot forgot to put the window handle into lock position
You know nothing about airplanes lol
