  1.  @filanfyretracker  Considering the airports your referring to are international hubs, for sure. Plus all it takes is having two major runways and the airport between them. Then the plane may have to taxi all the way around the actual airport to get to the right runway. They are flying giants, no doubt. No matter how many times it's explained to me how those huge metal things seem to defy the laws of physics. It's still awesome they get off the ground.

  2. Maybe they should cross hatch grooves in all runways to not only run water off quicker, but give really true grip on tires. I realize that type of grooving may shorten tire life, but maybe an incident like this would be reduced. But I still stand with my original comment, seems this accident was totally caused by lack of cockpit communication and indecision. So, human error.

  3. Man between man and machine not being in sinc, sure makes a relatively positive outcome become a terrible ending. Thankfully noone was hurt, though it could have been much worse. How do airlines compensate passengers for these types of accidents? Fly free forever? Hundred grand payoff per passenger? I mean this can be a totally traumatic incident to some frequent flyers.

  4. I noticed u made gender announcement to the pilots on this video. I don't fly much but, are there very many female airline pilots you're familiar with? I've not seen any in the maybe 2 dozen time's I've flown. Thanks.

  6. I'm assuming more flaps would not have helped as long as he still had 1 engine still not at idle. That seems to be hard to miss wouldn't it have? I guess flying becomes a lot like driving a car. You do it so much it becomes mundane and get complacent. And that's when mistakes are made.
