747 Engine Explodes On Takeoff

[@cameronlewis1218]

Seeing an L1011 flying in 2023 is just magical…

[@Delano1226]

Such a beautiful plane ❤❤❤

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

Will always be my All-time Favorite Aircraft, Love the L-1011 TriStar. I personally think Lockheed hit it outta the park when they conceived this beautiful aircraft.

[@kentd4762]

What a wonderful aircraft.

[@jakerazmataz852]

That's an early big boy. I always liked the 3 engine design. 727 is my favorite.

[@AeonExploration]

This one’s the best because it air launches the Pegasus LV

[@Qwertyuiop_memes10]

2:34 Love the fact that the L1011 is still flying! It was a very modern plane for that time! 🎉

[@layercake5864]

Had my first ever flight on that beauty ❤ back in 1993

[@KuppelBrie]

Someone knows the registration number?

[@tobbsnobb1366]

is it not a newer design than the 737 and 747?

[@Captain-Nostromo]

A TriStar Varig took me from London Gatwick to Sao Paulo Brazil 1992. A very pleasant flight.

[@_photonx6017]

Yeah, I flew to Hawaii on a Tristar decades ago. Now it's nearly gone, and so is Lahaina, mostly. Sigh.

[@BrianAchterberg928]

I love seeing wing vortexes, it looks cool and helps you understand how wings and flaps work. 👍

[@fluchterschoen]

Definitely. They should install smoke machines at airports to show off wake vortices.

[@clickster1883]

My mom and stepdad met building L1011's at Lockheed's Burbank plant in L.A in the early 80's. I flew on one once, and it was among the quietest, smoothest planes I've ever been on. Pretty cool!

[@marspp]

An un-contained engine failure is when debris is shed radially penetrating the outside of the engine. If the debris goes out the back OR the front of the engine in a failure it is NOT un-contained failure: that is how they are designed and certified.

[@huffy737]

Might be the coolest 3 minutes of aviation video in a long time!

[@u2bear377]

No Ryanair, no Aerosucre... Meh.

[@nagosnell]

No engine explosion at takeoff.

[@Shotsmoky]

Used to fly on the L 1011 to Vegas every year out of DTW on American Trans Air. An incredible machine. She’ll be missed. At least by me.

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

She's definitely a wonderful aircraft. My favorite, for sure.

[@joeyjamison5772]

I did a TWA flight on one of those once, STL/LAX. Incredible plane.

[@AnimalisMD]

Some classic planes there. The TriStar and of course my favorite... The 747-the Queen of the Skies.❤

[@mrjuanwtc]

Landing of those 747 & 777 creating the vortices must be one of the most beautiful aviation videos ever

[@AmsterdamAviationYT]

Much appreciated 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@philgray1023]

😅 We worked in an ambulance station 1 mile from a major airport. The vortices would run right through our garage. You could hear them coming. Then we would have to dust all the ambulances again.

[@chiefdenis]

Absolutely agree

[@jamesx4952]

Happy to see a L1011 Tristar still In flying condition ❤️👏🏽👏🏽

[@R8andGT3Fan]

Wowowow, a 49 years old Tristar still flying! Amazing! 🤩

[@Silo-Ren]

Great childhood memories of flying on those wonderful Eastern Airlines TriStar's. Thank you.

[@Mike-jn3du]

I remember, too. We were very lucky kids.

[@shethsa]

Except the one that went down in the everglades. 901 I think.

[@Mike-jn3du]

@@shethsa I'm not sure of the flight number, I wasn't on that one.

[@Silo-Ren]

@@shethsa Yeah except that one. Can't believe a faulty light would cause so much distraction.

[@SPak-rt2gb]

Thats Mojave airport in California where the L-1011 Tristar is doing its final flyby before it goes to the boneyard there. I guess that's what's happening. I Could Be Wrong

[@layercake5864]

Sad news. Didn't know about that

[@Molders32]

At least it was captured on camera but yeah, that was a so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-Jet-A farewell.

[@okedoke1234]

Heh "49 years old"....LOL.....KC-135 says "hold my beer"

[@MattH-wg7ou]

Holy crap that Blue Angel over the pier was nuts!

[@andrewrixon2347]

1st aircraft I flew in, as a kid, was a pink Tristar belonging to Court Lines. From London Luton, after a storm that blew in some of the windows. We had the last 3 seats in the tail and my Grandmother (who used to make sandwiches in the departures tent when Heathrow first opened to civilian aircraft) said “don’t worry, the tail always survives ! “…a beautiful powerful looking and feeling aircraft…

[@JohnyG29]

Surely the 747 was still on a taxiway, and not on takeoff?

[@MrSchwabentier]

no, it was on the runway during the takeoff roll. Watch the rudder deflection to counter asymetric thurst as soon as the engine fails. You don't need that at a powersetting used for taxiing

[@unknown_astro8433]

Those jet passes were crazy

[@pmusman]

Excellent episode! Love the L1011, loved the wing vortexes!

[@DavidStorey-v3c]

The last Tristar landing, the crew looked at each other and said “we’ve got plenty of fuel” let’s do it all again 😍

[@garyb6219]

The L1011 was always my favorite. I was a teen in the early '70s and we lived just a couple of miles from O'Hare airport.

[@layercake5864]

Had my first ever flight on that beauty back in 1993 ❤

[@Qboro66]

My one and only time flying on an L1011 was in July of 1980 on Eastern Airlines...

[@robinwhitlatch4497]

The airplane that flew me from SEA to Orlando, Fla Dec. 18, 1980 for United States Navy boot camp was a Delta Airlines L1011 Tristar. Very quiet, comfortable roomy airplane to fly across country in. It was my first commercial flight in a non Boeing aircraft & was my last flight as a civilian for many years.

[@khabbad]

Ending it with the L-1011, that really made my day. When I was a kid I went to London on TWA in that beauty. Magnificent !

[@ronparrish6666]

Been on many of Air Canada's L1011 beautiful air craft

[@slimjim1305]

I once had the privilege of going on the elevator to the galley on one of Air Canadas L-1011.

[@Captain-Nostromo]

That Lockheed TriStar is a beautiful aircraft ***

[@RealGaryGibson]

My 1st flight on an L1011 was in 1974 on my way to boot camp in Orlando. I think it was Delta. Nice ride!

[@robertzalaker4775]

love the tristar. i've often wondered if it could take off with just the rear engine ?

[@hendricstattmann3638]

That's highly unlikely. Trijets however are allowed to perform a takeoff and ferry flight on two engines. The restrictions are very strict (briefing, no payload, minimum mission time and fuel, etc.) This is to allow the aircraft to evacuate an airfield in case of an engine failure, whereas the problem cannot be fixed on site.

[@jackjensen6893]

not a chance. Why would you think for a second that a half a million pound airplane could get off the ground with 33% of rated thrust?

[@Roaviator747]

0:18 747-400 is my fav plane also 747-400F also 2:34 I love the L-1011 TriStar because actually the is a deck below containing a lounge or kitchen for the flight attendants.

[@jtirello3_111]

So happy I got to fly on an L10. IMHO, the most beautiful of the tri-jets.

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

You are Definitely Correct, L-1011 TriStar my favorite aircraft period ! Such a beautiful, technically advanced, wonderful flying aircraft to come out of that era, i wish they were still around.

[@bryanparrish8150]

I was a regular on the TWA SEA-JFK run years ago. Just loved those L-1011s. What a comfy airplane, even back in economy!

[@Handmantoot]

That B747 green wake turbulence would make a perfect background image

[@terencem8795]

Ah, that L1011, what a beauty.

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

Those vortices are just a thing of beauty, nature revealing itself, right out of Physics Illustrated.

[@Greggspies]

I had the pleasure of landing in the cockpit of a Cathey Pacific TriStar 40 yrs ago at Bangkok airport

[@da7heaven]

That Lockheed L-1011 Tri-Star was so far ahead of its time! So sad it never had a chance to compete and nearly bankrupted the company. Wonderful to see one still flying!

[@layercake5864]

Sad to see the very last TriStar say goodbye ❤

[@DerekWalsh-l4i]

So no film of a 747 engine exploding on take-off. That was a waste of time.

[@gouldney1]

the internet has stopped to apologise to the free riders

[@elefantdan]

Explodes.... the whole 747 just disintergrated hard to see but ..even the runway exploded... it keeps exploding to this day..

[@evabin]

Love a TriStar!

[@craigmclean8260]

Loved to hear an L-1011 climbing overhead; the fan buzz of those RB211s was higher-pitched than the DC-10s CF-6s, or the 747s JT-9Ds; now, they're all so quiet; an MD-80 sounds noisy!

[@johnsamson9889]

The L1011 with DLC makes for those perfect landings. Sweet.

[@coledwyer7546]

A whole extra 5 seconds of aviation today! Heck yeah!

[@jeffroalpha700]

6 seconds! 😂

[@tafnamtaf8909]

Why is it blurred? By the time it shows the clear picture, there's nothing much to see!!

[@Pablo668]

I get the idea of the part of the video where you explain what is happening, but it you could have made that a bit shorter so we could see a bit more of that pass by the Locheed Tri-Star, that would have been awesome.

[@joaoalbertodosanjosgomes1536]

Excellent KZbin channel. Congratulations.👍.

[@foghornleghorn8536]

I can still remember as a child how happy my father was when he learned that we would be flying on a L1011 to his next assignment. You would have thought he was the kid.

[@jjxtwo1]

Beautiful L-1011

[@BoloH.]

Tri-Star, very lovely

[@zachacham]

Question: why not all landings perform in automatic mode?

[@starguy2718]

The technology has been available for a long time, as in decades. But, the pilot's unions have blocked its widespread adoption: "job security".

[@jake_]

Because pilots would lose valuable flying skills that would be desperately needed in the event they would need to take over. It's a balancing act, like everything in life. Would you like incompetent pilots trying to land a plane with a malfunctioning auto pilot in an emergency? Auto landing is reserved for those cases where pilots would not be otherwise capable to land the plane due to poor visibility, but can safely take control if it is needed for a go around.

[@RoyalMela]

Pilots need to have X numbers of takeoffs and landings to keep their licenses. And they like to do it, since it is fun.

[@layercake5864]

Not every aerodrome or aircraft meet the technical requirements for that kind of landing

[@jochen_schueller]

Even when the technical requirements are met, autolandings have a negative impact on a runway's capacity

[@mikezerker6925]

That F/A-18 Blue Angel jet maneuver was incredible to see!

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

I would've loved to be on that Dock, that was Amazing.

[@beannosman3855]

My grandpa was a major part of designing the L-1011. He still has some schematics!

[@chaitanyarao5546]

L1011 deserved more success, it is a shame it was a commercial failure.

[@paulyiustravelogue]

Love seeing that L1011 flying by… but! The fact that it was in Phoenix could also mean she was heading to a scrapyard nearby? Nooo….

[@hernandovillamarinbuenaven7476]

This vid headlines read: '747 motor blows up during take off'. @ 00:36" didn't see snything like that. ('Clickbait'??). Nice L1011 images, though. ('Time Machine' from Lockheed..).

[@gabrielnogueirafilincowsky2560]

Explodes???????

[@Catastrophyst]

So great to see that Tristar still flying!

[@Everywayofaviation]

The F18's secret fly pass was insane!

[@davidbeazley1958]

The FA-18 flyby is exactly what I want my tax dollars used for. 😊

[@gouldney1]

good man

[@TheImperialChannel]

*The Tristar was a legend in its day. Like many good stories, it has come to an end.*

[@frankmoreau8847]

Just curious, but are the Blue Angels somehow exempt from FAA regulations regarding operations near building and people? The first part of the clip he seems far enough away laterally, but is definitely not in the second part of the clip, nor is he 1000 feet vertically away from the pier or people.

[@damonrice8469]

Click bate byllsht!!! It never exploded in view!!! Crap in describion!!!

[@manurocker1]

Engine explodes.... are there any real pilots on this channel

[@raymondvella7560]

Loved the L1011. Air Canada used to maintain many for foreign airlines at YYZ. Air Lanka, BWIA, and so many Air Canada ones. Flew quite a few times on Eastern and Air Canada L1011's, a classic.

[@wotan10950]

My first L-1011 was in 1974, TWA SFO-JFK. And then a few more on Delta, New York to Florida. Such a great aircraft.

[@athena-ggw]

The L-1011 was one slick bird. 😍 One of my favorites.

[@Roboseal2]

The PW4000 is getting very old now... I wasn't too surprised at the engine failure except maybe maintenance failures as they are more common with this engine as this engine is known to be harder to get inside and repair and inspect things.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

2:32 I shed a tear.

[@billb7876]

the 747 engine looked pretty contained from here

Flew L1011s to Anchorage a few times. Lovely.

Dreamliner lands itself better than the pilots.

[@deansapp4635]

I love 747s

[@Krektonix]

Haha, I was on that flight from Doha to Manchester a couple months back! On the way back we had a delay of over 40 hours and it was terrible. Then we had to fly to Doha hours late, missed our transfer flight (Doha to Auckland, New Zealand) and had to divert to Melbourne then to Auckland the next day. They gave us a hotel room each for the night but it was quite a journey! Lol.

[@marcusianaviation9372]

If planes can land fully automatically, why don't they do it for every landing?

[@layercake5864]

Not every airport would meet the technical requirements. That kind of landing also might reduce capacity, because extendet separation is mandatory.

[@croy263]

I was scheduled to deice the dreamlifter in anchorage before it's departure, but the weather cleared and they didn't need. Still got to see it taxi and takeoff, didn't realize there landing was so low viz, very cool.

[@randombastid725]

I'm convinced the blown engine was to to my farts in the outflow valve leading directly into engine #2 and making it run hot and flame out! It happens all the time🤭

[@will_9342]

I love the airbus A380, but in my opinion, the B747 jumbo is the most beautiful plane ever built. I even had the chance to fly from Paris to LAX in first class in an Air France B747 (thanks to a friend who works for AF and got our seats changed from economy to first class) in the upper deck. Wonderful!

[@JonKern]

Looks like the left-most engine had the failure. You could see excess smoke early on during the take-off roll. And once stopped, no heat signature was visible unlike the other 3 engines. That's why they put 4 engines on this bad boy back in the day. Redundancy ;-)

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

No idea how often it's done in commercial flight, but the fully automated landing on the Dreamlifter would have had me sweating bullets if I were the pilot. That must be nerve-wracking to go hands off and say "computer take the wheel."

[@m1co294]

Autoland is fairly old technology at this point that it's perfectly safe even if only one pilot is paying attention (see the Hawker Siddeley Trident autoland commercial), nevertheless autoland is barely used at all.

[@emmpedno2161]

Engine explodes….and Boeing in the same sentence. Funny but somehow I was Expecting that “company” name. Most plane crashes, explosions, failures, major problems, etc etc etc are Boeing. Sounds like a bouncing ball sound. Boeing boeing boeing. Crash!

I flew on the TriStar back in 1989...British Caledonian. I'll never forget that. I believe it was from London Gatwick to Malaga.

[@sidkemp4672]

I would like to suggest some corrections in wording around the first video, the Silk Way West airline takeoff out of Miami (to Frankfurt) on 12/4/2023. - By all appearances in this video and the cited video, this was a *contained* engine failure. An uncontained failure is where the outer protective casing is blasted open and parts go flying out. It is rare and dangerous. Nothing like this appears in either this video or the longer video cited in the comments. No damage to the engine can be seen from the outside; that's the difference between a contained and an uncontained engine failure. - Therefore, the engine did not explode, as the title states. I don't believe it even flamed out. All I saw was excess smoke. - The footage did not come from the cited video, so some citation is missing from the shorts listed in the video information. I may be wrong. I'd welcome any clarifying thoughts or reasonable opposing views or links to industry reports on the incident.

[@perplexical]

About the 747, this is why it’s slowly getting retired. Say what you want about keeping it in service, but the aircraft is less reliable and efficient, and also louder and less comfortable for passengers. I love the 747 as much as the next guy but the platform came out in the 60s and it’s time for it to finish up.

[@christodec]

i never thought i would be more annoyed on a video shooter - cameraman commentary than the standard EHRMAGHERD american commentary, but those Manchester posters are the worst. Need to shut up lol

[@TommyB427]

Bunch of crap. Title is "747 Engine Explodes On Takeoff." This was NOT in this video. How about getting real with the titles folks!

[@JonKern]

BTW: the wingtip vortices cease to exist at touchdown. (Conversely, they begin at lift-off as the wing generates lift.)

[@craigpennington1251]

Didn't hear or see any engine explode. Thank God to make possible instrument landings in bad weather. Lockheed Tri Star- one of the very best airliners-they were so nice.

[@duanepierson4375]

1:21 A few years ago, I witnessed a HH-60M taxi out and lift into a hover in a large droplet rain storm. It was amazing to watch the rain flow thru the main and tail rotors wash. You can see the rain accelerate thru the rotor and bounce off the ground effect, then witness the rain go through the tail rotor balancing the torque of the main rotor. Unfortunately it was to far away for an iPhone camera to record it. Helicopter aerodynamics 101.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]
