Blancolliro update vid. He pretty much times out how far down the runway when the fire bell. No chance of saving. Also brings up AA383.

NTSB briefing from today. Of note is they say they found fan blade pieces while walking both runways.Also says both recorders were found and downloaded all info. They'll listening to it tomorrow.

Damn near 80 free throws between both teams is a mockery.

These refs definitely bet on this game.

Came here to post this exact video. I’d been waiting on his response all day. Blancolirio is the best YouTube aviation incedent investigator.

I think he’s pretty dead on here. #1 separated and FOD’d out #2. Shitty situation. Even if #2 had kept running, what would have become of the fire on the left wing? Depending on what the engine took with it(shut off valves), there could be fuel and hydraulic fluid still being dumped on that fire. Perfect storm for structural failure later in flight. I think these guys were damned from the moment they hit V1.

My thoughts too. It almost makes me wonder if this plane had been a 757 (or any other twin engine really) would it have been able to get to air more even with the wing damage and fire( since those can get airborne one engine iirc). But a wing fire that bad isnt going to flyable for very long and probably wouldn't have been able to turn and land at an airport either imo.

Either slam into the sorting facility in front of you trying to stop or get pray you can ditch in a field and not a residential neighborhood. No win situation.

Very up close dashcam here. NSFW I guess:

NTSB says the left engine caught fire and detached in the update.



The left engine of a doomed UPS plane caught fire during takeoff and immediately detached, officials in Kentucky said Wednesday, leading to the horrific crash and deaths of at least nine people.

Investigators have recovered the cockpit flight recorder and the flight data recorder, National Transportation Safety Board member Todd Inman said, in hopes of finding out more about Tuesday's tragic accident just outside of Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.

CCTV footage shows the left engine detaching from the wing during takeoff, Inman told reporters.

"The plane lifted off and gained enough altitude to clear the fence at the end of runway 17 R. Shortly after clearing that fence, it made impact with structures and the terrain off of the airport property," Inman said.

Brutal.

Not really. Though they are essentially rebuilt DC-10s ( which were very problematic) MD- 11 have been relatively problem-free given flight hours flown. The last fatal incident in the world was 2016 and the last one from a U.S. carrier was 2009 and before that 1999.

Fedex and UPS put these things through the ringer over the years, but they are old girls at this point.

Kentucky by 21.

They are our daddies.....just like most of the conference at this point.

Navy plays ND in two weeks.

Hopefully they beat the Irish ( small chance obviously)
