Airliner Hits Wall...and keeps on going

[IBob]

Air India plane hits a wall on takeoff, and pilot keeps on flying

 

I'm trying to imagine the conversation in the cockpit............

They apparently were not aware they had struck anything Nev

They were very lucky, if that brick wall was held together with Australian mortar, they sure would have noticed it!

Wow, landing with fencing wire tangled around the MLG must have made for an interesting deviation in standard performance.

Another reason not to buy your airline ticket based on price alone.

Miscalculation of take off weight or relevant considerations like reduced thrust, which makes more take offs runway length critical. Nev

Geez! It sustained some damage, but you can't expect it to stop on a rupee especially if was doing around 250 clicks near the boundary fence.

 

It could have been a total tragedy for all on board.

This Air India Express Boeing 737-800 which rammed into the boundary wall and clipped runway ILS instrumentation would have been hurtling down the runway at about 250 kms ... Its a miracle it flew and a miracle that there were no casualties.

It looks to me like the damaged area was a composite material. not quite sure where that would be on a 738

Yes, A bit of luck there. There's no way they should have come anywhere near that obstacle. Nev
