A Boeing 777 operating as British Airways flight 2276 turns onto the runway heading at Las Vegas Airport at 16:12:30. The captain advances the engines to takeoff power 6 seconds later, and the ground speed begins to increase. However, at 16:12:51, a loud "bang" is heard in the cockpit. One year later, at Chicago O'Hare Airport, a Boeing 767 operating as American Airlines flight 383 suffers a similar engine fire during takeoff. Find out what really happened.

If an engine is going to fail that’s where you want to quit. Before you’re airborne with lots of runway left.

@gregfaris6959 2 ай бұрын

That's unfortunately not actually an absolute truth. There have been many cases of airliners suffering horrific fires on the ground, with dozens of fatalities and hundreds of horrific burn injuries, when there is every possibility that in the air the fire could have been extinguished. You would have tio get down to a case-by-case analysis to adjudicate this, and this BA crew obviously did the right thing at the right time, but your blanket statement that an engine failure before V1 is going to be a better outcome is not an obvious one.

Yeah Buddy!! In '61, Panama to Miami on Lan Chili Air DC-6, #2 blew up req 2 bottles to put out, then #3 blew req 1 bottle, then #4 just plane quit in mourning for loss of #3!! We were in middle of Caribbean really liken' #1. Picked up couple pieces of metal just barely clearing Cuba, but the MIGs left when no longer a problem. Castro had said all would be shot down, but Leader was Russian. All fireboats out, and fire engines along path of decent, but Capt screwed 'em by landing on grass Threshold, bumping up onto foote w/last turns of the wheels. We had flown Lan Chile as had never had a crash, & on that day, they proved why!!

Just something to point out, from the first moment the left engine caught on fire to foam being applied by fire services was 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the fire engines were actually rolling before the alarm sounded. A friend of mine was on duty that day and saw the first ball of fire. A great job by the BA crew and the fire crew.

Over the years, that could have saved countless lives. It would be better if the overhead lockers were locked at all times after leaving the gate, until the plane was off the runway after landing. The cabin staff should have a key to open a single compartment if necessary during flight. If this became the norm, passengers would just accept it and take items they needed (such as medication) out in advance. Phones should also be completely banned from the overhead lockers, due to fire risk.

@tpol9112 2 ай бұрын

I swear your videos are getting worse all the time. You often leave out the fate of the passengers as on a number of previous videos, and on this one about the Las Vegas fire on a 777 you did not provide any information about if/when the evacuation actually began and the status of the passengers. I would recommend that you either stop doing a poor job at reporting these incidents, or spend more time providing information necessary for the viewer to understand the outcome. I used to really enjoy your videos because they got to the point and shared adequate information. However, now there are other sites which are doing a much better job that you in reporting these.

Thank you for a very nice video. If you are stopping a commercial jet on the runway through a rejected takeoff or you have an engine fire while taxiing, it's highly unlikely you will be using the other engine once you've stopped, so you might as well shut it off (it's not doing anything useful for you - assuming you have turned on the APU - and it could hurt you by injuring a passenger, or perhaps catching fire because the fuel leak is not confined to the side affected first). So turning it off keeps your passengers, crew and arriving first responders safer. As to the use of the engine bottles: if you know that the engine nacelle's volume is too small to benefit from discharging more than one fire bottle at a time, that is, half of the fire-suppressing gas would end up outside the nacelle blowing into the wind, then it might make sense to use one bottle, observe the result, and then use another bottle as needed. However, if that's not the case, use both at once because you really do want to put the fire out. The pilots should know this relationship if they are familiar with the aircraft, and it should be explained clearly in procedures. Lastly, any passenger disregarding flight attendants' instructions to leave personal items behind when evacuating poses a threat to the safety of others. Such passengers should be banned from flying that airline again and should be subject to prosecution by the FAA, which can impose fines and also ban them from flying. Any passenger who is injured due to interaction with another passenger's suitcase or handbag on the evacuation slide or on the wing emergency path should find a lawyer and file a lawsuit against the offender.

Considering all of the flights and hours flown by different planes and pilots and other staff,you would think that procedures for different scenarios would have been brought to light by then. I wonder if this had of happened 30 or 40 seconds later, what could the outcome have been?

@QuentinStephens 18 күн бұрын

At 9:18 the plane is turning to the right, not the left. And in the first incident, was there any reason why the cabin crew, having been unable to contact the flight deck, did not initiate evacuation procedures?

@buzz2megg 2 күн бұрын

My first thought was "Why the hell is the plane not being evacuated?" They need to put a step onto a checklist to tell the pilot to get the people of the plane? I'm no pilot but my first command would be "Get these people off the plane ASAP". Like this will help people with a fear of flying...like me. Booze helps.

Agree with you. But I think the List is also Made because in such situations panic can occure and mistakes can be done due to the high volume of stress, at least i think so

There are critical procedures that are considered memory items, that pilots must be able to do correctly without a checklist. That being said, you are not a pilot, nor have you had any training, nor do you have the faintest clue what goes into that training, so how about you wind your neck in.

@@mattd6085 I sure hope your not telling me to wind my neck in. Yes there are critical procedures now, you are expected to act the following way you do in training during an actual emergency, however you forget to think about stress and the difference between life and death. Boom all of a sudden you have an electrical fire all of a sudden abroad the aircraft, your heart rate is going to skyrocket and you start to panic. My father who was in the RAF and flew the C130, he told me that even the training exercises are stressful enough. How about you take that into consideration

I would say so, absent any other information to inform us differently. I am also thinking that the hours value includes the times whenever the engines are on. So, taxing, etc., not just in the air. Again, I am guessing.

Possibly a dumb question, but can this issue occur mid flight, or is it a take off issue. Also if it does happen mid flight what’s the odds of controlling it and landing?

@rich_edwards79 2 ай бұрын

Takeoff, unlike cruising or landing, requires full power; throttling the engines up is when any faults are most likely to manifest. Whether takeoff can be completed on one engine will depend on multiple factors - takeoff weight, weather conditions etc. Once at cruising altitude, modern airliners are designed to be able to fly on one engine. They wouldn't be certified for operation over water otherwise. Provided that the fire is extinguished / under control and no damage has been caused to hydraulics, control surfaces etc there's no reason the AC can't return to the airfield snd land safely.

At 2:14 look at the runway marking behind the plane when it gets into position. Does it say 7L?

@ntkVaL Ай бұрын

I think at the time of the incident the heading for the runway is still 07 for both left/right but due to "Change in Magnetic Poles" which is a thing (science) "The magnetic North Pole has shifted. In truth, it's always moving by about 40 miles per year" according to google, this causing the FAA to check every 5 years that if the heading of the runway change more than 7 degrees they have to change to runway number. To this day Las Vegas (KLAS) now already change the runway to 08L n 08R since 2017 and also because I think they use a new updated airport mod so that's why in the video it show 08L not 07L. sry for the grammar I'm not good in english ;(

@ntkVaL Ай бұрын

The incident happen in 2015, the runways number change in 2017 so that's why the radio is still 07L

In cases of an engine fire prior to take-off, onemight assume that the immediate shut-down of all engines would be imperative.Not so, apparently-at least at that time of these incidents-which begs the question: is the absence of a specific command in a checklist, of itself, sufficient to countermand common sense?
