How a Burst Tire Nearly Brought Down This Boeing 767 - The Story of Delta Airlines 415

On 5 December 2013, this Boeing 767-300 operated by Delta Airlines was set for a trip from Madrid to New York. During the take off roll, one of the tyres burst causing debris and shrapnel to burst through the wing. This leads to several issues and an emergency situation. The crew needed to keep calm and work together to deal with this string of emergency’s and get the aircraft landed safely.

I really like that this channel goes out of its way to report on lesser known incidents. I've seen three different analyses of the Tenerife disaster; I don't need a fourth.

[@CuriousPilot90]

That’s great to hear that acknowledged, thank you.

[@dfuher968]

Ive seen at least a dozen different videos regarding the Tenerife disaster, all but 1 based on the same old tropes of the original American report, completely ignoring, that it was highly disputed at the time and later discredited. A lot of ppl could use a correct representation of it based on the new report, instead of ppl continuing to regurgitate the same old falsehoods. That said, this is, why I keep coming back to this channel. Its sober and factual, not sensational like so many others, and covering a variety of accidents and incidents, that most overlook. Far more interesting!

I think this is very similar to what happened to the Air France Concord - with the exception of the debris not hitting a fuel tank. If it had, this may well have had a very different outcome.

[@CuriousPilot90]

That’s true, I find it difficult to believe that the metal rod was in the tyre from the retreading process. But if the runway was checked beforehand, where did it come from?

[@kippjames]

Possibly the hydraulics or suspension

[@donaldpayne1376]

I understood from memory [ mentor pilot ], it has been suggested the Concorde fuel tank rupture while it was struck with debris, was over filled and the pressure wave from the debris impact was unable to dissapate before rupture due to insufficient air space in the tank.

Great airmanship. I wonder though, did the passenger who noticed the damaged wing, tell the cabin crew?

[@BirksyChillz]

I fall asleep listing to these and always end up dreaming about the situation. Thank you for so many adventurous dreams ✈️🧑‍✈️

[@CuriousPilot90]

Thank you very much, I always find it amazing to think that people from all walks of life get to listen to/watch these videos.

[@ChabbaD90]

Great to see you’re back with another video! I hadn’t heard of this incident before- it’s very interesting! The crew did a really good job getting the plane down safely.

[@CuriousPilot90]

Sorry for the delay! It’s been a busy few weeks. I’m glad you found it interesting.

[@rhino_737sh]

Just like the Capt.s announcement on this flight, your narrative is precise and well put together, always a delight watching your videos, keep up the good work 👏🏼👍🏼

[@josh2961]

I didn’t get shown this video when you published it!! Great to see you back. This was a really interesting incident, it almost seemed played down considering they are landing with only one hydraulic system operational. Landing on emergency brakes with no steering and minimal steering is serious! Some of the new animations were pretty good but somewhat a bit distracting as there are many. Thank you for a great story.

[@dermotlynch2223]

Excellent airmanship, superlative airmanship, extraordinary airmanship, but not incredible - I believe it happened.

What a Curious Incident!

[@danlowe8684]

Similar (not as extreme) to Des Moines in 1989 in that hydraulics were lost by explosive failure, trained, off duty airline pilot on board to assist in a big way, and crew saving many lives by good training and calmness.

[@dfuher968]

Yeah, I remember, amazing by the entire flight crew and such luck to have a DC9 training captain flying as a passenger, who had actually trained in controlling the plane with the engines in the simulator on his own time after the Japan Airlines 123 crash.

[@storminnormin2570]

Well done vid

[@nigelbond4056]

Probably a strange thing to say but I like your diction 👍

[@stevehughes5403]

Putting armor plating under the wing is not practical, and to prevent foreign objects on runways you would have in inspect the runway after every use. This accident falls in the category of shit happens. The crew did a great job.

[@PeterEdin]

Nice video, well produced. One pernickety thing, it's a flight deck, not a cockpit 😉

[@kckc4955]

It’s persnickety.

[@reshpeck]

I think it's rather more pedantic than persnickety.

[@PeterEdin]

You're right 😀

[@djpalindrome]

The basic precept of fail-safe design is that a single point of failure does not result in catastrophic failure. This was the Achilles heel of the DC-10. It is not acceptable that all three independent hydraulic systems are crippled by intrusion of debris. The contention by the Spanish authorities that a piece of metal was left inside a tire during the retreading process was absurd. They’re just engaged in a coverup to protect their own asses and national prestige
