it’s worth it for the chick with the anklet, which takes up about a third of the second video...after the plane has reached Jacksonville...

[Lazamataz]

I like the part where he says “Oh My God”.

[Chode]

plus he had a General passenger..*GRINS*..don’t know the “full” story behind the BS

[driftdiver]

The two runways are only a couple miles apart and run in pretty much the same direction.

The main difference is the one is 3 times longer.

[higgmeister]

It wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last!

[Chode]

i know, i used to live in Tampa... the length would be the hardest thing to miss, but, seeing all those little planes on the ramp and NEITHER ONE of them thought a thing about it???

but i guess if they didn't give the length of the runway a second thought, well...

and what about the tower?

You would never think you could stop a plane that bit that fast.

[Doogle]

for sure

[Bryan24]

You would never think you could stop a plane that bi(g) that fast.

and one’s rated for 200,000 lbs....

the AC weights 170,900 empty

[willibeaux]

I wonder what the makeup of the crew is?

Will there be a courts-martial?

At least a good @zz chewing.

Sounds like what happened to Comair Flight 191 out of Lexington back in August 2006. They were supposed to take off from runway 22, which was over 7,000-feet long, but instead tried to take off from runway 26, which was only 3,500 feet long. Forty-nine of the fifty people onboard died in the crash.

[driftdiver]

He screwed up for sure. I thought I read where he was coming back from the middle east so I’m sure fatigue was a factor.

[Doogle]

I wouldn’t have been worry that much about stopping (tremendous reversing thrust) my concern would have been weight restrictions
