Travel Forum / Travel Types / Air Travel / July 2009Crashlanding In Alleged 40mph Wind Kills 153
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2009-06-30-yemen-planecrash_N.htm?csp=24&RM_E xclude=Juno TRY NOT TO EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT PRE-CAUTIONARY DELAYS When it happened at Hartsfield-Jackson Monday a week ago, I actually told people that I was glad they had shut it down temporarily, apparently delaying everything about two hours Like the 40mph winds played a 'big role' in the crash? I think not! JB > Like the 40mph winds played a 'big role' in the crash? I think not! > > JB Surely the wind figures in the phenomena, not the only or "major" mal- factor Is 40mph considered normal & routine flyable? <I dunno, though it sounds like the airport shoulda been shutdown> I perceive Lexington, Buffalo & Corme sp? as each being of multi- factors in dynamics < weather, training, mechanical et al> I have taken off once in 35mph winds w/50mph gusts from CVG. It was a very bumpy ride all the way to DTW where we landed in 45mph winds. It was via NW on a CRJ regional jet. JB > I have taken off once in 35mph winds w/50mph gusts from CVG.

It was a >> very bumpy ride all the way to DTW where we landed in 45mph winds. Was once waiting to board a DASH-8 at Toronto island. It was a pretty strong snow storm, with huge wind gusts. There were times where we could barely see the plane from the old historic terminal. I was chatting with other passengers and we all expected this flight to be rather bumpy and hoping no passenger would upchuck during the flight. We boarded aircraft, the pilot started engines, rolled to runway, accelerated, took of and while there was a tiny bit of shaking for a few seconds, there was nothing out of the ordinary and before we knew it, the flight was smooth and above the storm. The storm had not yet reached montreal, so the landing there was normal. http://www.oaoa.com/articles/french-33121-comoros-plane.html july one story is black box found |
