[Swifted]

now they have nuff spare parts fuh de ress ah junk they flying 'round!

[MISHI]

^ Somehow that's not amusing...

Basically this was AA331 deja vu...

[Ignorant Ignis]

this have me feeling real screwed up .... considering im always on those flights
and probably the same plane i was on just a few hours before leaving guyana

[noshownogo]

Interested in investigative findings, glad no one was injured.

[Ignorant Ignis]

if any one has a contact for the tuner "allmotor"
ryan who dj's in mojo's please find out if he's ok.

i believe he was suppose to be on that flight

[Greypatch]

give we the low down sho

[kurpal_v2]

Is this the first crash CAL/BWIA has ever had?

[Country_Bookie]

Wonder if it was an inexperienced pilot who was not accustomed to the shorter runway in Guyana. A small miscalculation on his part that turned out to be disastrous.

[VexXx Dogg]

damn, this could have been much much worse.

[pablo_tt]

Even under normal landing, this pilot made it to the end of the runway.

[RoTaRyBoYz]

Probably had mud on the runway
























Ok, enough with the Guyanese jokes... Thank god no one was seriously injured. I guess God is really a Trini

[pete]

What I've wondered is why the pilots touch down so long after the start of the runway? Especially on a shorter runway like that.

[hydroep]

Glad no one was seriously injured.

I guess they shouldn't have said, they didn't want red jet to affect the safety record within the region
somebody hit dem a dread "goat mouth" yes

More like they didn't want Red Jet to affect their profit margins.

That's Poetic justice for yuh.

[Tucson-anil]

This one win:

One woman quoted by Guyana's Kaieteur News service described hearing a loud sound when the plane landed, and everyone began screaming.

"It was terror," she said. "I was praying to Jesus."

Her husband opened the emergency door and passengers began escaping, the woman said.

Rescuers struggled in the dark to free other passengers from the wreckage.

One woman described how a taxi driver got to the scene before the emergency services and charged her to be driven back to the terminal.

is that fuel they were dumping?

[bluefete]

I hope it was not the BRAND NEW plane.

Thank God no lives were lost.

I think an American Airlines jet did the same recently in Jamaica.

[bluefete]

Is this the first crash CAL/BWIA has ever had?

YES. There have been many minor scrapes including one recently where an engine blew out on a 737 but nothing this serious in the 60+ years of BWIA / CAL.

Statistically, it was only a matter of time.

Again, God is a ...

[bluefete]

Well it would be level pressure now for CAL from FAA, CAA and all the other bodies that have to investigate.

Hmmmm, starts to wonder about this George Nicholas III issue .... and decisions allegedly being made by the Chairman alone ... etc, etc ...

[bluefete]

Norstar2K - Where are you buddy?

[pablo_tt]

Even under normal landing, this pilot made it to the end of the runway.

is that fuel they were dumping?

Vortex from the edges of the wings. This was a recent addition to the fleet, next to 9Y-SXM. Lots of bamsees quaking over in CAL now!

[pugboy]

years ago a bwia ran off miami airport
came in too fast and ego usually takes the better of pilots who feel shame to go around
when there are 10's of planes lined up in the sky waiting/watching

[FugiTECH]

Probably get a bad fly.

[SR]

so what if its guyana atc fault.........................

[Habit7]

To give contrast the runway length difference between us and them

TTPP (us) : 10,500ft
SYCJ (them) :7,448ft

These aircraft capable of stopping even in 3000ft of runway. But "it is alleged" that the pilot is squarely to blame. With a full load of passengers anything after 1000ft from the threshold is a rejected take off, if he thought he could have stopped he was certainly wrong.

*PS*
Notice the difference in the AA crash and the BW crash, the BW crash not "dirty" ie the flaps and slats are retracted. Could this pilot have retracted them as he rejected the take off? (a no no)

i hope the ttcaa manages to find time to mark my exam papers still after this

[bonzo.specb]

Wow ! Glad there weren't any fatalities.

[Jack the Ripper]
