Plane Crash St Barth (August 24, 2023)

[@rodcoulter997]

Is this the exact same aircraft that had the steering issue about 10 days ago? Unable to turn “right” onto Runway10. Gate return.

[@rolandsteiger8405]

You are right! Registration is F-OMYS in both videos

is there a vid of that incident ? but it looks like you solved the "why" . Good job.

[@leokimvideo]

Poor helicopter, just enjoying the sun and gets slam dunked. Really weird how that dude walking to his black car barely notices this crash. The way he reacted was as if this happens every day there. Spooky

[@privatepilot4064]

Exactly what I was thinking almost word for word! The poor little guy took a heck of a clocking there!

[@PlaneHound]

Ouch. Fortunately there was no fire! Glad everyone made it out ok.

[@ludvikblondal9885]

Fuel tanks in the belly...fortunately!!!

[@PlaneHound]

Ah, I didn't know that! Was wondering how the wing could be half off without a fuel spill... a good design choice in this case.

[@3MinutesofAviation]

What a capture! May I feature this collision in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. Cheers!

[@rolandsteiger8405]

Yes please do

[@caribnomad]

Useless firetruck staff. More busy to chase away spectators outside the airport than caring for passengers and crew. They didn't know what to do and were awfully slow, too.

[@williamedwards1528]

Where's the fire?

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

@@williamedwards1528 Their job is to PREVENT one... or to quickly extinguish one if it occurs...? These were no well trained firefighters...and where is their much more effective trucl mounted foam cannon?

[@dboard9]

​@@JohnSmith-yv6eq Crash occurs at :25, the fireman is out of the truck and pulling hose about 1:15 later. The pilots don't even get the right engine shut down until over a minute after impact! And re: "foam cannon" - The truck mounted monitor is typically a 3" nozzle at 250 PSI, it can blast and injure survivors attempting to escape, normally only used to extinguish a substantial fire or cover spilled fuel with foam to prevent ignition. The fireman with the hand line does just that, after determining where the fuel is spilled.

Les secours sont lents à venir

[@theaviationastronomychannel]

Sad twin otter was only 4yrs old..glad everyone made it out tho.Probable cause:”steering issue unable to turn right”

[@mikehanks1399]

Is it just me, or was that the worst emergency response EVER? If they could have breached the fence, the onlookers on the street would have been on the scene faster than the airport personnel. And they would have DONE SOMETHING. This one is a real head scratcher.

[@russefrance4869]

Well, it's not like Heathrow, the emergency crew aren't just sitting there waiting for something to happen. There was no emergency declared so they had to dress, get in the vehicle and drive there...which they did in just over 1 minute. The big question is why were the pax sitting on the aircraft for another 5 minutes?

[@mikehanks1399]

I kinda get that, but like you said, the passengers were on a crashed aircraft for a very long time. And this crash was right on the flight line, you can see scores of people just standing around gawking. In a typical auto crash, bystanders and other motorists will render aid until the professionals get there. In St. Barth, you're on your own.

[@charlesvt2010]

Well the emergency response is the worst, I'll remember this

[@williamedwards1528]

Done what? No fire, no hurry.

[@57Jimmy]

Probably had to run down the hill where they were directing traffic during the landings!

[@exae352]

Thank you, you may proceed 👍

[@vwjd77]

Wow so well organised , so effective and efficient emergency response team in action!!.......Not

[@Ivansgarage]

That will teach-em to park that dam helicopter in my spot....

[@armyranger9346]

The wind sock on top of the hill shows he was landing with a tail wind. That may explain why he was going so fast near the end of the runway. He was completely in the grass before he crashed into the helicopter. Had he stayed on the runway his breaking would have been more effective than it was in the slick grass.

[@joeldumas5861]

Almost. Later, another aircraft asks for the wind. At 21:44, ATC replies 030°/8 kt (so heading 210°) when the guy lands beach side on runway 28 (heading 280°). Btw, later traffic will use runway 10. About windspeed, 8 kt ("gentle breeze") is not so strong, but on such a short airstrip every knot matters!

[@IslandSimPilot]

Any wind under 10 knots they land 28 at SBH. I have a friend who lands there daily and he said he would have landed 28 that day.

[@a-fl-man640]

braking. breaking is what he did to the poor helicopter.

[@armyranger9346]

Is it just me or was the "response" team or anyone for that matter awake at the airport? Sleeping off too much rum?

[@ittipolpan-ngum4477]

[@kevinfogarty858]

Emergency response is dreadful, they should be replaced with competent people

[@thomaswislocki2804]

Emergency service, what emergency service! The airport should be closed until their response times and actions have reached the required standards.....pathetic!

[@spolk2]

"@mlehky 12 hours ago (edited) Actually by regulation and ICAO standards it was quite good. The required minimum response is 3 minutes. The response here was roughly 1m15s."

[@daveth121864]

WTF? This is the most pathetic accident response I have ever seen. I've watched too many episodes of "May Day" to sit on an airplane that just crash landed and is full of Jet-A and starts smoking to sit around and wait for someone to tell me not to open any doors. Are you telling me that everything is fine so stay started? Yeah no. And any damage I do blowing the starboard door will be a rounding error compared to the the bill to repair the rest of the aircraft. See ya!

[@coppertom1967]

Staff is more worried about people seeing the unprofessional rescue crews than they are about getting people out of the plane. LOL

[@jimydoolittle3129]

OK , you’re telling me because of the fog you didn’t see the parked helicopter 🥴🚁

Steering problem. Read the other comments

[@CherokeeFlyr]

This is head scratcher. How did they get so far off of the runway centerline to hit a parked helicopter on the helipad? Can’t see the wind sock. Glad all are ok.

[@florianbeau19]

It’s was reported that the front wheels were either jammed or something like that I think…

[@julesviolin]

It's in the description as to the probable cause plus 10 days ago it had a undercarriage fault which sounds like it wasn't fixed properly

[@areza15143]

⁠ According to the wind socks on top of both hills, looks like he was landing with the tail wind.

[@PeterDelsol-j2e]

At the video time of 48.40 look at the round silver UAP that drops down over the road at top of the hill goes left to trees the 2 exit rapidly to the left. Check it out

Les secours incompétents dans ce domaine il devrait faire Une ODIT au niveau des secours et qui suivre une formation plus prolongé surtout au niveau des interventions en catastrophe aéronautique. Pour moi il est inconcevable qu'il n'y ait pas eu un dispositif plus préparé pour une intervention rapide.

[@raymondherbst7126]

How do you land into a parked aircraft not even on the runway?

[@wm7312]

On another video, someone is saying this could be the same airplane that apparently had nose wheel steering problems and in the same airport. Oh boy, not a good day, regardless.

[@charlescanton4740]

Somebody could get hurt tripping over that hose...

[@denniscuffy5210]

While viewing the incident I was taken back myself by the response of the first responders. Also I was pondering as to the reason for the hose. Things went further down hill for me, when close to the end the apparatus on top of the fire tender was used to wash the ground.

[@rkgsd]

The standard procedure at many airports is to soak the aircraft just to help prevent a fire from starting. It's not just for when there's smoke or fire. The problem here is it took 5 minutes to get the hoses going.
