The way the sound travelled for the explosion was so cool

[@RobertCraft-re5sf]

Yeah, he must have a really nice lens and be far away. Took several seconds.

[@joeylawn36111]

You see it about 875,000 times faster than you hear it.

[@user-mp9rd4hg8b]

Yep, that tells you how "slow" the seed of sound is. Given enough distance, even the speed of light is slow.

The reactiontime of the first pilot is incredible!

[@Penfold101]

I don’t know about the A330 specifically, but some aircraft have a system which automatically do this if one engine loses thrust.

[@AllanFolm]

Which is why the PIC has a hand on the throttles while accelerating.

[@AldoSteroneAviation]

@@Penfold101 Yes, some have that by not the A330. Apparently the A350 has that.

[@bonbondesel]

In theory in case of an engine out during takeoff, the pilot flying may feel a loss of thrust on one side due to assymetry almost at the same time it happens. In professional simulators during training or type rating, almost immediate reactions are seen especially when the pilot flying IS thé Captain (who is the one who decides to reject or not). Depending on the cause of the failure, it's even possible that the pilot flying feel the thrust assymetry before the cautions/warnings identifying clearly an engine failure or fire. Training in simulation is one thing. Real life is way more startling and less easier. That's why pilots train and train over and over again for such a failure that has rarely a chance to occur until their actions become almost a second nature. It's not because of that, that making the right decision at a critical moment is easy. This crew reacted very quickly.

The turbine detached, not attached, and when a blade does that, half the turbine wheel is destroyed.

[@timschulz9563]

Why only half the turbine wheel? Isn't there some sort of unzipping effect when one blade falls out of the wheel?

[@ziggythomas1123]

That's what he said, but 'had' and 'detached' blended together, so it sounded like: "Inspection later revealed that a turbine blade haddetached."

[@Chuck59ish]

@@timschulz9563 Because the blades are spinning at engine takeoff speed and there is still thrust going through the turbine blades, so they would be blown out the back end and the loss of blades wouls unbalance the turbine wheel probably taking out vthe rear bearing von nthe shaft, so it would bounce around too. I used to work in the J57P64s in the CF-101 Voodoos and it would happen to them when the rear oil line broke from the jet jocks whacking the afterburner on and off.

[@nathanielcruz6675]

Seeing the pilot landing in Mexico in strong winds reminds me of my flight from LAX to Guadalajara International Airport 2 months ago. When we started to descend, the plane started to suffer from turbulence. It turns out, there were strong winds messing with the plane. Luckily, the pilots did a fabulous job of keeping the plane as stable as possible, and we landed safely. It was my first experience with flying in strong winds.

[@lynnkramer1211]

Event the plane called him a retard. That is harsh.

[@matthendricks9666]

The first video was really cool. Spoilers were out less than 2 seconds after the engine failure. Good job. But the Go-Around after a late touchdown was absolutely brilliant. The pilots did a clean and flawless job. Perfect pitch and execution of the go-around. Should become a training-video.

That engine explosion was heard approximately 9 seconds after it was seen. The speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second. The camera location was therefore approximately 3087 meters (roughly 3 kms) away from the location of the plane at the time the engine exploded. Simon Lowe is known for the quality of his plane spotting videos. He's using a massive zoom lens here.

A turbine blade detatching is my biggest fear sitting near an engine. These TITANIUM pieces shouldn't be flying off, and when they do, they're sharp, fast, and deadly. They'll bring down the whole plane with fuselage depressurization and breakup.

Same. Sharp, fast, and out of control 🙀. I’ve never flown on a large turboprop, but being able to SEE the huge blades spinning right next to me would be even more nerve wracking. Though probably really cool too 😅
