nomadpete Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 They were very lucky, if that brick wall was held together with Australian mortar, they sure would have noticed it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Wow, landing with fencing wire tangled around the MLG must have made for an interesting deviation in standard performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdseye Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Another reason not to buy your airline ticket based on price alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Miscalculation of take off weight or relevant considerations like reduced thrust, which makes more take offs runway length critical. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 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. [/url] Vishnu Som ✔ @VishnuNDTV [/url] 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. 5:45 PM - Oct 12, 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 It looks to me like the damaged area was a composite material. not quite sure where that would be on a 738 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Yes, A bit of luck there. There's no way they should have come anywhere near that obstacle. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
