Air Transat has FIRE IN THE CARGO HOLD | Diverts to Newark

[@VASAviation]

*No injuries were reported during evacuation progress.* Trucks approached the aircraft and saw smoke coming out of the rear cargo hold. That is when the crew decided to immediately evacuate the aircraft on the runway. Great job done by everyone! ;)

No audio of the evacuation?

Audio said no smoke observed? Anyway well done... that was a swift landing.

VASAviation - I have a video of the aircraft on the tarmac after the incident, do u want it?

The one guy requesting to transition toward the end of the video needs to be reeducated on brevity on the radio. Thanks for posting this so fast - nice job!

Car 99 calling da shots ...

[@QemeH]

Car 99 at KJFK is the shift supervisor for the airport authority vehicles - so probably it's the same at Newark as they both belong to the same port authority.

[@Cissy2cute]

It now appears that no actual fire was found, but the cause of the smoke is under investigation. According to NJ.Com: UPDATE (1 p.m. Saturday): The Associated Press reported that "no fire was found inside the plane, and the cause of the smoke in the cargo area remains under investigation". I'll post again if there is further news.

I meant on the ground when the decision to evacuate was made.

[@ChiDraconis]

@@deadbolt91765 Okay so they cut up the Smoking Cheese to discuss Cargo Hazards NOS? That is Not Otherwise Specified such as Inert Smoke Canister? Someone down thread asked about blowing the evacuation chutes • is this a Cargo / Freighter configuration and to those who are not joking why cannot the pilot clear the runway with the steering yoke as I am acclimatized to High Pressure Critical Moments where if it just had to be a seemingly facetious situation of several air-vehicle have to clear the runway to let others down and have never been comfortable with diversions and fuel reserves common to book training for how to do it so I just study regs & IFR Low with fantasy planning for Victor17 to SMTTH reporting point where I have a friend

[@firstofficerchris1321]

Thanks for the video! I live about one hour away from EWR and randomly saw no arrivals. I then saw this incident

[@Cissy2cute]

I live about 1 - 1 1/2 hour away from Newark Liberty. Real shocker. Great job by all.

[@isladurrant2015]

Nicely done... indication of smoke/fire = get it on the ground asap, no discussion.

[@Darryl39345]

The airplane continued on its journey about 7:30 this evening. I was flying as an FO on a different flight and I watched it take off. I actually saw the plane on short final this morning as I pulled into the parking lot. I was thinking, Air Transat never comes to Newark. Then, I saw all of the fire trucks surround the plane.

[@oFariid17]

Darryl39345 weird flex, but okay

[@MrPomelo555]

Wrong. Air Transat sent another B747 from Toronto to embark the passengers from the first plane. That first plane is still parked in Newark.

That was a bit lucky due to their location to runway. Quick evacuation and a good job done by all.

James Lambert outch! Sorry to hear that.

[@newarklibertyinternational2000]

Great channel! I subscribed!!

[@TheRealMarkS]

I wonder why there aren't heat or smoke activated cameras located throughout the cargo hold. At least then, the crew would be more easily able to determine the severity of the situation.

[@adrianspeeder]

Mark_S money and maintenance

[@georgeg9891]

And even then, they would still have to land somewhere. They can’t just continue for another 2-3 hours if the heat and smoke detector goes off. I wouldn’t risk it

[@AaronShenghao]

@@georgeg9891 Exactly, anyone dealt with fire knows it can go way out of hand and melt everything in a short 10 minutes... sadly nowadays not many people with experience with light a fire in a fireplace .

[@Niteowlette]

In fact, there are smoke detectors in the cargo holds of aircraft with smoke indicator alarms in the flight deck.

It’s been the third incident recently that a Boeing aircraft gives false fire alarm in the cargo

[@VASAviation]

Smoke was visible from the fire trucks.

[@tiverton]

"Mayday" is only used once on initial declaration of emergency to emphasize extreme urgency. Most Emergencies can be declared in normal conversational language. Definitely no need to say "mayday" to tower when they're fully aware and equipment is standing by. Example of training reflexes taking over common sense. He also calls a fire truck "red one". This is obviously the call sign they used in training at Air Transat. Always makes me nervous flying with guys who use reflexes instead of clear adaptable thinking.

[@acertaineagle6424]

I don't see why that would make you nervous he's gone through all the things he's been told and landed safely

[@thercpoop]

Jeez, are you a psychologist and an airline pilot? What the fuck are you on about

[@VASAviation]

Phraseology states to say the word MAYDAY once after your callsign at the initial call with the ATC station.

[@acertaineagle6424]

@@VASAviation exactly it also reduces the chance of misinformation and mistakes ie the controller might not know the callsign etc
