Where is everyone #2!!

Yes and no. The engines in the 47 are close to the ground and static thrust will tear the $$$$ out of the ground behind it. With no blast pad or blast fence the pilots will be limited on throttle based on the speed over the ground. I would bet my last dollar that most if not all of the lights and signs along side the runway will be blown away.

 

That would be neat too see. I forgot about the blast walls..
I bet somebody has the wire transfer hot line open on this and what ever they bill will get paid, not questioning this bill

 

How would you like to be the one who gets the call.
Um boss we have a slight problem, Ok do you realize what time it is and what's the problem.
Well uh we kinda landed at the wrong place and I can't get turned around. to take off before somebody sees us.

 

Well seeing how this week is still in the toliet, I pulled up Delta's website. I can leave outa here today for a little 0ver 1400 per person.....

It made it off the airport.

 

good deal, anybody get a video of it?

 

Good deal, I was worried that they may be compounding disasters!

 

All the news organizations were present so I'm sure there's plenty of video going to show up all over the Internet.

 

I'm sure they had everything calculated and didn't just slam the throttles against the firewall and pray. They did shut the freeway down just of the North end of the runway to prevent vehicles getting damaged from the jet blast.

It had to be a good pilot to get it out of there but an even better pilot is the one who got it stopped without ending up on the freeway. (Even if he was an incompetent idiot for landing there in the first place.) The pilot who flew it out of there had everything calculated and laid out for him, the one who landed it had an emergency. When I was going through flight training I had an old pilot who always told me, "it's not how you fly the plane when everything is going right but how you react when everything goes to $$$$". --- That old pilot is my 86 year old father who was a commercial pilot for 40 years and flew private jets another 12.
