Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-20

[00:00:07]Uh, wombat, >> have you seen this?

[00:00:09]>> Have you seen this video? Croatia Airlines Airbus veers off runway. What is the most dangerous abort rejected takeoff? Sorry.

[00:00:16]>> What do you mean? What's the most dangerous rejection?

[00:00:18]>> Slow speed or high speed?

[00:00:19]>> High speed.

[00:00:19]>> Are you sure?

[00:00:20]>> Well, it depends. Slow speed. If you lose a motor, >> right?

[00:00:24]>> Speed.

[00:00:24]>> You lose an engine. Reject to takeoff.

[00:00:26]When's your least favorite time?

[00:00:27]>> Yeah. Slow speed.

[00:00:28]>> Yeah. Watch this.

[00:00:31]Here we're going to mute it. Mute it. Mute it.

[00:00:38]>> Or don't mute it. Just ignore me. It's fine.

[00:00:40]>> That looks good.

[00:00:41]>> So far so good. What do we got? Nailed it.

[00:00:44]>> Oh, they're going to charge him for that.

[00:00:45]>> Nice. Yep. Yep. That's good.

[00:00:47]>> Hey, he missed that one. That one's good.

[00:00:52]>> Yep. Yep.

[00:00:53]>> Nailed it. Got it back on the runway eventually.

[00:00:56]>> That's not center line, sir. That is the edgeway.

[00:00:59]>> Still on the runway. Go to the uh >> still on a line. O, >> so it's a wet runway.

[00:01:07]>> Do we know the winds?

[00:01:11]>> Well, the rain's moving that way. So >> that's probably because the >> I don't do math.

[00:01:20]>> Something happened here cuz they're fine.

[00:01:22]>> I Oh boy.

[00:01:24]>> Yeah, they lost the engine. I read they were doing 131 knots.

[00:01:28]>> Oh boy.

[00:01:30]>> Something happened. They might have ganed a motor.

[00:01:35]>> I mean, they most certainly All right, calm down. People working here.

[00:01:40]>> Oh, man. Look at the job of the cameraman getting >> Yeah.

[00:01:44]>> If that engine wasn't foded before, it is now.

[00:01:46]>> Yeah. Oh, they stowed the reversers though. That's good. Um, well, you don't want damage. the something had to happen, dude. And it had to have been either a massive gust cuz they were handling it fine and then you could see it from the outside video.

[00:02:05]Um, but then all of a sudden they just veered. So, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a gust or some sort of shear or they bagged a motor.

[00:02:15]They certainly did towards the end there when it hit the sign. But >> Doug, play that play the that first video again without the sound or favore.

[00:02:24]I You see the nose gear come off the ground. I think they were going pretty fast, man.

[00:02:29]>> There's a high speed for sure.

[00:02:30]>> Yeah. So, watch that nose gear.

[00:02:31]>> Something happens right there.

[00:02:32]>> Look at that. There it hopped off the ground.

[00:02:35]>> Something happens there.

[00:02:38]Like if you go back right there and I don't see anything come out of the motor.

[00:02:43]>> The rudder does not look like it's doing anything, which maybe it should have been.

[00:02:48]And you can't tell like >> but it was like >> back. Yeah. You don't see >> it's a pretty instant >> thing there, >> man. You don't see >> out of the motor either. Popping >> fire, >> right? This only >> he's got side stick in because look with the wings, >> right? You can see >> lots of wings. See, they pop up at the other side. So, he's fighting big time at that point.

[00:03:10]>> You don't like Mover said, you don't see any burps out of the engines. Nope. But like the you see the nose gear hop up there like, "Hey, maybe we should take the spline before we go off the side."

[00:03:20]And then he's like, "No, let's stop."

[00:03:21]>> Yep. And then now it's all aboard at this point.

[00:03:25]>> Oh, >> cuz the reversers are out.

[00:03:27]>> No, he's applying the uh soft procedures.

[00:03:29]>> Dude, there's a lot of water on that runway, too.

[00:03:32]>> Yeah, >> that thing swerve pretty hard because I mean from the the camera angle here, he's he's >> looking at you.

[00:03:40]>> Yeah.

[00:03:41]>> Which is frowned upon.

[00:03:43]>> Yeah. which is you're right there. I didn't see any rudder deflection. Uh >> it just reminded me of like when I had to do my tie pride on the 78 and they're like, "Okay, you're the captain now.

[00:03:53]Here's your low speed rejected takeoff on ice." And >> what?

[00:03:57]>> You're like, "What?"

[00:03:59]>> They're like, "I wouldn't be in this situ." Did the rudder move ever?

[00:04:03]>> I >> I don't know.

[00:04:06]What is that? It No.

[00:04:09]>> Oh, that's pretty strange.

[00:04:11]>> That's great, dude.

[00:04:12]trying to rotate.

[00:04:14]>> Riddle me this.

[00:04:14]>> I think they were I think they were just half stick.

[00:04:17]>> I mean, >> I mean that rudder, it was almost like they didn't put rudder in when there was a a wind gust >> mover 78. We'll put in the rudder for you, right?

[00:04:26]>> Not on the ground.

[00:04:27]>> Not on the ground.

[00:04:28]>> That's a SE trip 7 thing.

[00:04:30]>> Wombat, do you know if they because A220 is not really an Airbus?

[00:04:33]>> It's not really an Airbus, >> but I wonder.

[00:04:34]>> I doubt it does. I doubt it does >> cuz it doesn't.

[00:04:37]>> Well, there's no rudder though. There's nothing that's ruddering. That's what I'm saying is like, >> yeah, even if I put it in for you, you'd see it physically move.

[00:04:45]>> The nose gear is straight. Everything's straight here except the plane.

[00:04:50]>> Well, what the problem is actually right there. We're just Tokyo drifting. It's fine.

[00:04:54]>> No, you're looking at all wrong. That is perfect. They built the airport wrong.

[00:04:58]The runway is the Corololis.

[00:05:01]>> We're just looking at the Coriololis effect in action.

[00:05:03]>> The runway is wrong. Um, God toilets go the other direction. There's no I mean there's no rudder input.

[00:05:11]>> And the engines I mean the engines don't look like I mean >> no everything >> nose gear doesn't hard over >> now there they're fighting it because you see the flapper deuce pop up whatever they are spoilers.

[00:05:23]>> I mean if the engine fails will the will the reverser kick out because I mean both engines are reverse. It should. It should, >> man. I don't know, dude. That all that has to be.

[00:05:34]>> But if that engine I mean, I guess if it just rolled back maybe, but you'd probably see something.

[00:05:40]>> I mean, look, it's blowing stuff like >> if it flamed out.

[00:05:43]>> Yeah. Go back. Go back a little bit there. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point.

[00:05:45]You'll see if it's producing.

[00:05:49]>> How can you tell?

[00:05:50]>> Is it blowing stuff?

[00:05:52]>> I mean, the reversers are out. So >> the I will say the right motor in reverse looks like it's blowing water.

[00:05:59]Then again the right >> but it's on the runway the runway.

[00:06:02]>> Yeah.

[00:06:04]>> So >> I don't know.

[00:06:06]>> Dude, that's a wild ride.

[00:06:08]>> That's a wild They're lucky that I'm assuming everybody was fine. It looks like it was fine.

[00:06:12]>> Yeah. Good job to the pilots to, you know, successful abort.

[00:06:17]>> Stick with it.

[00:06:18]>> Any rejected takeoff you can walk away from.

[00:06:22]It's gonna You're going to need to ASAP that one though. You're definitely gonna want to ASAP this weekend. I'll bring some uh wood out. I'll fix that sign.

[00:06:34]>> My bad.

[00:06:35]>> That's my bad. That's Dude, that's crazy.

[00:06:38]>> Yeah. No, no bueno.

[00:06:41]>> Wow.

[00:06:42]>> All right. Well, there's that.
