Flight Deck Ep 1

So Harrison, you can start us off with the prime air incident.

Okay, this is probably the biggest one on this list.

It had five fatalities.

It happened in Miami, Florida on an overcast day.

According to data from Flightradar24, we see that the Boeing 767...

Uh-oh.

That's already bad news.

All right, we're also going to make something clear.

If you like Boeing, you can go ahead and leave.

But if you like Airbus...

Yeah, honestly, we wouldn't call ourselves aviation enthusiasts.

We would call ourselves Airbus enthusiasts.

Yeah, so.

So, according to data from Flightradar24, this incident happened on September 6th, and the Prime Air aircraft touched down extremely late and kind of in the middle of the runway.

On runway, let's see here.

If you know Miami International Airport, you'll know this well.

Looks like it happened on the south side of the airport, kind of by the cargo terminal where prime or UPS aircraft usually land, and it just touched down extremely late and too fast and veered off the runway and killed five people.

Yeah, so I also did see with the preliminary NTSB data report, yep, I know, doing my homework.

So there was, they were going like over twice, I don't know if it's twice, but it was extremely high landing speed.

And the reverse thrust didn't come out, neither did their brakes, spoilers, anything like that.

So that was a complete fail.

We've seen this happen a lot in the past with other aircraft, especially with Boeing, where their spoilers or just reverse thrusts completely fail.

But it's very rare when we see, like, they lose a landing gear.

Like, there's a fatality.

Yeah, but this was also a little bit different because it purposefully didn't come out because they were going way too fast.
