Landing in Tegucigalpa

Landing in Toncontin International airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Filmed from American Airlines flight 953.

I believe thats what you call a positive touchdown! Brilliant airport, right up there with Kai Tak and St Maartens

[@milvus7migrans]

Yep, I was in Tegu when those plane crashed. My flight was cheduled for the next day and as result had to rush to San Pedro Sula.

It is an AA , the engine cowling and pylon are different colors , thats just it, Take a look at their 757 pictures and notice it. Love landing at TGU.

[@Pedrito2513]

jaaaaaaajajajajajajajaj te quedo buena!!!

[@Robsonperes1983]

Amazing!!

[@UkraineStar77]

nice landing, short runway hard touchdown at the beginning !

[@milvus7migrans]

They wanna use the runway on US airbase in Comayagua, but for me is a bit far from the city and the road is not adapted for possible high traffic from Tegu to the new airport and back.

[@vsbfbmusic]

now that's what you call an interesting approach

[@rainywizard]

Bueno hard landing

link from reddit anyone?

[@milvus7migrans]

@tommybass40 There is another runway in Soto Cano US Military base in Comayagua. There was a plan to built civilian terminal there after TACA plain crashed in Toncontin in 2008 but then it was cancelled. The problem is you need to go over a mounatin ridge to go there from Tegucigalpa and the road is very narrow and unsafe. there would be more people dead from car accidents on the way to/from the airport. :) And build the new higway would be very expansive.

2nd most extreme airport in the world!

[@wakeupsheep]

cmon man! it even states "America Airlines" on his tags! right off the back you can so distinguish that its a 75

[@yungfresh97]

@milvus7migrans sadly its ture but not all

[@Dram79]

Honduras should build a new airport.. too scary for tourism.

[@5Cork5]

One mistake and you have a problem....looks dangoures but cool at the same time....

[@SelvinC]

lol.. skip to 1:01 Some person says "We're in another country, my cell phone doesn't work." I know it isn't extravagantly funny, but hey, she said it.

[@milvus7migrans]

I spent there about half a year in total. Good counrty, nice people. But Honduras has one of the highest homicide rate in the world so you must be careful and watch your back. Actually you must just be reasonable and do not go to some particular areas (especially after dark). ;)

[@talkyrocko]

what you mean?! it´s not reasonable in any place do that ¬¬ there´s no such thing like 100% safe city (especiallly after dark)

[@tommybass40]

Why don't they just make a bigger airport somewhere else?

[@cecati21]

@diesel20001 estas equivocado es el mas peligroso del mundo lo dicen los expertos

[@dntist]

and Samos (LGSM) ;o)

[@milvus7migrans]

Do what? Clarify please. There are safe cities and not safe cities. Just compare Montreal and Baltimore. And regarding Honduras I can say that once one of my colleagues had been robbed right in front of the president palace, with all these police and sequrity around, in the middle of the day (a boy grabbed his cell phone and runaway on the bike). And in San Pedro Sula I witnessed a situation when at 11pm a man walked to the gas station for help. He was without pants and covered with blood.

[@talkyrocko]

let´s refresh...you said night and particular places, for me any city in the world have that, u never said anything about guards and army try walk in the bronx with your brand new iphone and you´ll see. france, spain, russia and especially my city my theory is," lots of people lots of shit " people = shit.. i live in the 4th biggest city in the world and, man! i can´t even watch the news anymore theres no such thing as a perfect city/country "you have he don´t he´ll take"
