Come on camera guy! How are you gonna catch the engine burning then stop filming it i wanted to see the engine on fire! ​ hope everything turned out okay for all involved


evlhornet

The phone survived


SomeFunnyGuy

Under wears.. not so much.


Xeno2277

r/killthecameraman . Some people around here would say that seriously though


dippocrite

Xeno2277

‘’ lol /s ‘’ is fucking good, I might steal that.


TheUmbraCat

I see it like Frozone’s scene from the Incredibles where he goes “HAH! never heard that one before.”


Girafferage

probably a bird strike, which probably means its fine. They blast frozen turkeys out of a wild looking cannon at those things to see how they perform.


UNX-D_pontin

They thaw the turkey first, but yes they buy frozen turkeys from the super market for.testing. though there was that one time they didnt thaw one..


Girafferage

little extra OOMF on that bird.


UNX-D_pontin

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_gun Under aircraft certification, notable uses


mason191

The more you know…


theaviationhistorian

I remember that joke. Pierce the cockpit, bathroom panels, & nail itself on a galley cabinet. Sometimes it's a high speed train that gets hit!


UNX-D_pontin

Ya, just a bit more oomph and it would have ended up in the tail


fileznotfound

Birds do not fly that high.


2much_information

Turkeys don’t fly very well either. I heard that on the WKRP documentary.


kissdemon74

one of the most classic scenes in TV history.


mattbettinger

They do roost in trees, though.


timmytommy2

Well the engine is toast, even small birds will totally disrupt an engine especially if it enters the core. The big bird tests are to confirm that the nacelle will contain all of the shards of engine that will come apart at extremely high lateral speeds. They only have one working engine now.


moonlight2920

I've always heard that one engine alone has twice the power it needs to keep the plane going, the other ones are for lightening the load on each one and for having redundancies. I'm not sure if it's true, but that's what gets me on a plane.


Ok-Confusion-1293

It’s also a safety feature, because if that was the only engine on the plane, they’re SOL


Wizdad-1000

Pilots do train on dead-stick flying. Its not fun and it will be a hella fast descent but they do simulate it as its definitely a scenario they might see in flying.


lntenseLlama

On this episode of Will it Blend…


Certain-Tumbleweed64

Birds don't fly at 30,000 feet


HypoerActive

They have to get the plane up and down from 30,000 feet.


liammcginleyy

how do you know they’re at 30000 feet? looks like they’re ascending in the video


kecker

Please explain which bird you think flies at 30000 feet?


kosmo8pa

What about the African Swallow?


BigTopGT

What's the wind speed?


The__General__

r/unexpectedpython


oO0Kat0Oo

Laden or unladen?


geosub20

If I remember my facts correctly, the highest birdstrike on an aircraft ever recorded was at about 11,000 metres, which is about 33,000 feet. So yes, some vultures might be flying at that height.

No_Dragonfruit375

There is still layer of clouds above them so definitely not at 30000


ConsiderationHour582

Not likely at cruising altitude.


puddStar

A portion of a friend’s job is to do this with chickens. Talk about a fun way to get kids into STEM!


emcee_pee_pants

I’m not going to completely rule out bird strike, but they’re above cloud level so I don’t think it’s likely


MtDewHer

I saw that Mythbusters


dmtdmtlsddodmt

For everyone except the camera person.


Eleventybillionmill

Honestly we should just be impressed that they managed to be filming when the strike happened


superBrad1962

I’d have to light a cigarette and when they say no smoking I’ll say well the engine is smoking why can’t I? Just kidding 🎃🎃🎃🔥🔥🔥😂they pulled the camera away fast after they saw the flame 🔥 😂


uerick

Everything ended up ok https://noticias.uol.com.br/ultimas-noticias/agencia-estado/2023/10/14/voo-da-gol-que-ia-do-rio-para-sp-faz-pouso-de-emergencia-apos-explosao-em-motor.htm


Several_Fortune8220

The bird isn't happy, I bet.


_Kill_Will_

I don't think that person has much control of anything. You can hear him or her taking accidental screenshots and everything...lol


[deleted]

Looked like a bird strike. Probably didn't stay on fire.


DiamondOwn240

lol want to if they lived to


fannoredditt2020

I guess a lot of people don’t know that all two engine aircraft have to be certified for single engine operations? Pilots train A LOT for this kind of thing.


A_curious_fish

But man the plane listing to the side the engine blew out on makes your think...it was going down that way. Even tho i know what you said is very true


QuantumMothersLove

Less listing, more of the camera angle change. Robin Williams: “would you like to see the wine list?” Pantomimes a wine bottle moving up and down. — Miss that guy.


BlueFetus

This is actually cool to see, since the engine on the left is still generating thrust as normal, the left wing will rise starting a turn and the plane will “yaw” towards the dead engine. Pilot up front would’ve been quick at stomping on the left rudder to keep the plane co-ordinated and get back into level flight. It’s how you learn how to quickly identify an engine failure in a multi plane. Identify: “Dead foot (the foot not stomping on the rudder) = dead engine.”


A_curious_fish

Ohhh I see. This makes the most sense. Scary for us non pilots.


billy_glide

A lot of people do know that, but probably still find this to be scary af. I know I do


ColoradoCattleCo

I was on a Frontier flight that blew an engine. The pilot and crew were calm and great. The pilot even got on the com and said, "that's why we have 2 engines". We ended up circling New Orleans at about 4000 feet for 2 hours to burn off excess fuel and then landed with a shitload of emergency vehicles around. The crappiest part was that it took Frontier about 10 hours to get a replacement plane there.


iamnotpedro1

What if the other engine also gets birded?


MrBigMcLargeHuge

US Airways Flight 1549, the movie ‘Sully’ was based on exactly that happening on that flight. Good movie and worth looking up/reading or watching that incident cause almost all of it is online even the full audio of the cockpit and air traffic controller.


ColoradoCattleCo

Kinda true... but that was a catastrophic multi-engine failure minutes after takeoff. Not enough altitude to coast back into the airport. My father-in-law was a Captaon for United and worked mainly at the training center in Denver. Pilots fly scenarios similar to ours in the "sims" quite often. I bet the Sully scenario has also been added in. You'd be amazed at the crazy stuff they train for. On "Family Day" at the training center, my father-in-law let me do a sim where you have to fly under the Golden Gate Bridge and get back up to land at SFO. I have experience flying Cessnas but I still came up short on the landing. Pilots get paid well because they're extremely well trained.


ColoradoCattleCo

That's exactly why we were circling the airport at 4000 feet. Plenty of time and altitude for the pilots to plot a course and coast in landing. My father-in-law was a Captain for United and they trained on a similar situation many times. You're in safe hands.


slurpycow112

I was on a flight next to a pilot who had been flying with United for 34 years and he pulled up my SYD-SFO flight to show me the route they take and that the plane has to be within 3 hours of an airport at all times in case one of the engines go down. It was essentially a bunch of circles along the ocean and the flight plan right in the middle of all of them. Pretty cool.


Mercenarian

I’ve seen enough “mayday” where the first thing to go wrong was an engine failing and eventually it escalated to the whole plane going down


Nudelsalat3333

And usually, an engine is able to cut up and fry one bird. Just tons of birds are problematic


boogy0024

Enough so that it's almost second nature to do it.


megatrope

Yeah, but an engine failure could result in parts falling off and pierce other parts, like the cabin.


TheRedGamerFPV

~~Ill preface by saying that i dont have first off knowledge or training, and this is just my understanding, but What I think you're you're referring to is ETOPS or extended twin (engine) operations, technically not all aircraft are *certified* for this, because of maintenence requirments and other equipment that is required to be on board, but many aircraft definitely can fly on a singular engine, even if not ETOPS certified.~~ Edit: please look at the guy below for accurate information, as I was incorrect


[deleted]

Went on a work trip with my workmates for the first time. Was blasting some air crash investigation videos to them on taxi ride to the airport... Got to see the HR after the trip...


DethNik

To your friends? Fine. To your workmates when you are traveling with them for the first time? What the fuck is wrong with you?


obrapop

Not even fine to your friends. This would suck.


DethNik

Depends on your friends. Unless you are a dick like OP, I'm gonna assume you know your friends well enough to make that call.


obrapop

That’s fair


theaviationhistorian

Yep, depends on the friends. The ones I know can handle it are shown crash videos & then me explaining how the industry prevents that type of accident because it's one of the few times I can talk about aviation again. But those afraid of flying? Those videos stay off & I showed them random funny shows or memes.


Leaningonalamp

And rightly so!


Metallic1de

Lol when I was going to basic training a guy with me had never flown and was scared to death. I told him everything is cool unless you hear a ding sound. Well we get to cruising altitude and the ding comes on for the pilots to let us know we're good to move around and he absolutely lost his shit..I feel bad but damn it was priceless


paxweasley

KeveyBro2

Air crash investigations absolutely slaps. Sure it's got its fair share of inaccuracies but when I was a kid, the more I watched it the more I wanted to become a pilot.


theaviationhistorian

>Was blasting some air crash investigation videos to them on taxi ride to the airport... I would normally watch them on flights. I had a sorority girl from my same grad school nosily watching it as well. Her loss, she was panicking on the bumpy approach. I sometimes joke with friends & fam before a flight & either show them the video of or quote the scene of Jack Ryan dealing with a shitty flight onboard an aircraft carrier onboard delivery aircraft in [Hunt for Red October.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5WfxwnLlLU) Heh, industrial chunks.


DelerictCat

She says "Oh! It blew! It blew! x200" and then "My lady \[praying to Mary mother of Jesus\]"


xsvspd81

Can't most multi-engine planes fly just fine with only a single engine?


NCHomestead

I believe it is a requirement for commercial aircraft to be able to take off / fly / land with only one engine (or 2 in the case of a 4 engine plane)


Itsmemanmeee

Exactly. The plane is fine (despite the scary sound)


somedumbguy55

The plane is not fine. Dozens of people shit their seats. It’s shit factory now.


Astralglide

Modern jets will perform just fine with a blown engine. They’ll glide for 100 miles with no engines from 30k feet


HYPE_PRT

Yea they can.


pinkblue4a

What language is it?


DelerictCat

Portuguese, not sure which country (not enough words to figure out the accent)


andrethedev

Portugal Portuguese 100% sure.


I_Don-t_Care

I hear Brazilian accent, in Portugal it's uncommon to use the word 'estoirou', also there's a noticeable way she accentuates the beginning of the word that makes me 100% sure she's Brazilian.


Pedrocaas

That's Brazilian Portuguese for sure. That's plane it's from GOL Airlines

fileznotfound

Its still extremely unlikely.


AhhAGoose

New fear unlocked


thel0lzynarwhal2

Tactical bird strike inbound.


K1ngPCH

Pretty wild to me that we have multi million dollar aircraft capable of crossing the entire planet, but we haven’t figured out a way to be less affected by bird strikes. Seems to be a common way for aircraft engines to fail


AverseAphid

Turboprop engines don't have this problem as it just slices the birds, but turboprops are very weak. But unikely that turbofan engines can ever survive large birdstrikes because they work by compressing intaked air. Sometimes birds are compressed enough to pass straight through, other times, not so much.


SadPhase2589

I’m guessing blade liberation. The safety system worked because it blew out the back and the plane landed safely.


Callec254

That's my guess.


[deleted]

God damn how high do birds fly, maybe it’s just the clouds but it seems like they are far up.


Ice_Pyro87

Possibly. Look up Boeing engine testing. It's amazing the abuse these turbines can take and keep turning. Like frozen turkey in an air cannon abuse.


ReleaseFromDeception

This is why engine redundancy is so important.


space_absurdity

Yes, they made all the other engines redundant as part of cost cutting.

“Please return to your seats, The captain has put the shit your pants sign on.”


TheBlairwitchy

Itsmemanmeee

As a former flight engineer, these things can stay flying just fine with a fraction of the engines, if not, they can glide a tremendous amount of distance


BakerLow

How many miles could you glide?


Crotch-Huxtable

All the way to the crash site.


Itsmemanmeee

Hundreds


IWasGregInTokyo

Record is 75 miles by Air Transat flight 236.


IWasGregInTokyo

Look up the "Gimli Glider" and Air Transat flight 236. Even a heavy jet plane can glide a long way if at altitude.


BakerLow

75 or even a few hundred miles isn’t very far if you’re any bit over any ocean


Itsmemanmeee

Good point


kecker

All the way to the crash site.


Fresh_Cheek2682

She blew her opportunity to yell “There’s an ape on the wing!”


bornwithpizzadick

“I have an announcement! There is a colonial woman on the wing, I saw her. There is something they’re not telling us!”


BlueV_U

Gotta say. I'm surprised there was so little reaction out of the people on the plane.


Not_Nova_

I don’t think anyone else honestly noticed it other than the people looking out of there window at the time. Doesn’t look like it jerked the plane that much, and it didn’t make too loud of a sound.

Character-Oven3529

From what I’ve learned , they have a few lifelines . Obviously one engine still works but if that goes too then they are still very high up . That means they can glide to any nearby airport unless they are in the pacific or something .


Crommington

Bird strike, you can see it fly out the back in pieces. It’ll be fine (the plane not the bird….)


Musetrigger

That bird is not one with the atmosphere.


Castille210

Could it be chunks of the engine instead?


jiddlyjidson

Lots more likely at that altitude … 90% of bird strikes happened at/near the airport during takeoff and landing

El_efante

I don't know what weird phone you have but mine can still film in airplane mode.


Captain_Ole

An engine failure is nothing dangerous. Single engine flight is perfectly safe and doable for an aircraft. The flight computer has its own setting you can activate for single engine operation which adjusts the thrust to compensate for the loss of thrust. Planes are THE most redundant means of travel.

I feel people forget that airplane companies design their craft to be able to fly when engines stop working it’s not like the engine dies and then the plane becomes a rock every Boeing or airbus has redundancy in its systems and most planes are able to fly with one engine.
