BrendanB Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 That is such an eerie video, seeing the plane floating in mid-air for a second doesn't look real at all, but wow, extremely unfortunate the plane decided to stall and fall from the sky randomly like it did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Watched with sound turned off and was really creeped out. That's fairly scary to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubar231 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 People drive to FL from time to time. Drove back from Florida in 12-14 hours TOPS one day. I was CRUISIN all the way home, and i stopped a few times to stretch, get gas, and drinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEMAN1647545504 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Plane lost lift. It happens when the plane climbs too high too fast. Instead of lift it creates drag and drops like a rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwishiwascool Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Plane lost lift. It happens when the plane climbs too high too fast. Instead of lift it creates drag and drops like a rock. Word on the street is the load shifted aft; vehicles I believe. There's really nothing that can be done in that situation. It looks like he fought it til the end though.

V8 Beast Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Drove back from Florida in 12-14 hours TOPS one day. I was CRUISIN all the way home, and i stopped a few times to stretch, get gas, and drinks. Did it at the end of March... will never do again! We lost 2 days of our vacation on the road. Planes scare me for this very reason. Everything at some point in time fails. The percentage of it happening is crazy low.. but still...

It does kinda look like its climbing like a fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlr8tn Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 wow......that's a crazy video. Few years ago we flew to Vegas. As we were coming down for the landing you know how you watch out the window and see the runway getting closer and closer? I was doing that and just before we touch down you hear the pilot lay back into the throttle and start slowly climbing again. Everyone on the plane was shitting bricks. Capt. came on the speaker about a minute later and said he had too much speed going in and had to circle and do it again. I won't lie.....it sucked. Might be something that happens a lot but was the first time I've ever been on a plane that did that. I'm in no hurry to ever fly again. On the flight home I was so nervous you wouldn't have been able to drive a pin up my ass with a jackhammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea....for all I know he spilled his Jack & Coke on the controls. The too much speed thing might've just been a cover. In that situation too 1 minute feels like an eternity. The women in front of us were about to lose it. People were starting to suspect the landing gear wasn't down and shit like that. Not a good situation.

Putty Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I can see that panic...disaster happens and someone, if not all, is going to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 You still have a higher chance of dieing in a car accident than any aircraft. When your time is up, that's just the way it goes sometimes... They do max climbs out of hot zones so you won't have a departure like that in any civilian aircraft in the USA (unless you ask for it..lol).

It looks like he fought it til the end though. One of my old high school friends, now VP of flight ops at Evergreen said pretty much the same thing. Most likely a cargo shift, resulting in a drastic change in center of gravity on the aircraft and the pilot didn't have enough altitude to correct it.
