I can only echo the comments of "Так недоставайся же никому!!!)))"

Two left feet?

Runway rage? Nev

 

 

[gareth lacey]

Brake failure or stuck on one side?

"You got the plane I wanted."  So he's just bounced a  Bad Czech . If the brake jammed the throttle must have too.Nev

that air strip needs a control tower ............ and aircraft with shorter wing spans

I just like the way he managed to damage every side of the other aircraft.

 

Hate to see the bill from that little moment of inattention (not enough right boot perhaps?)

Just imagine being the pilot (and any passenger) sitting in the other aircraft.

....with a whirring prop chewing away at your aircraft!

 

I don't understand why the pilot of the runaway aircraft didn't just cut the throttle upon initial impact? Seems like a very new student who froze at the controls?

What I'm not sure about now is whether the main length of that runway is extending off to the right of the frame or is it off to the left?

 

At first I assumed that the a/c that did all the damage was throttling up (regardless) for a take-off run.  But then his flaps seem to be full down, so maybe he had just landed and the area we're looking at is near the far threshold of the runway in use.  So maybe the aircraft that we see taxi onto the runway didn't realise that he'd landed - or maybe he did and thought the best way to clear the taxi-way for him was to enter the runway and move to the far edge so that the just-landed a/c could slip by and up the exit ramp.  If that is the scenario then the pilot landing (and stopped) was just gunning his engine to get the wheels moving on the grass, aiming to taxi slowly off to his right, well clear - but somehow lost control ... and the rest is misery.   Any other ideas or guesses or explanations?

I've seen skulls of two caribou who died with antlers locked together.

 

Good argument against Intelligent Design.

The octopus has better eye design than we do.  How did we end up like we are? Well, time we weren't short of and we are still evolving as do the microbes in us and the weeds doused with Monsanto/ Bayer's poisons. Nev

Right at the beginning of the video the other aircraft was seen taxying up the runway with full flap deployed I'd say just stopping his landing roll, but the Pilot & passenger of the orange aircraft couldn't see it as they were pointing in the other direction & putting on headsets etc. The when they got out on the runway they saw the red/white aircraft, stopped and then pulled over to the right to allow him to pass. He was stationary then put power on. If he had differential brakes avoiding the orange aircraft would have been easy so long as they were working. With a hand operated brake pulling up should also not have been an issue so long as it was operating. The failure to cut the power at any point from when impact looked inevitable to the final conclusion was the main issue.

One was a Sabre and the other a toothed Tiger.
