As a retired aviation professional, I can give you a possible explanation of the aircraft shuddering. As the tow bar was unhooked from the tug, it’s possible that the tow bar was at an angle (not facing forward) and the nose landing gear actuator swiveled with the tow bar still hooked up hitting the the tug that was to the side of the nose landing gear. In other words, the tow bar moved 15-20 degrees contacting the tug which was now unhooked from the tow bar. No damage to the aircraft and the tugs are built to take a licking and keep on ticking.
@tfft Жыл бұрын
That definitely seems the most likely. I’m guessing in this case there would be no need for the flight crew to inspect anything since any damage (if any) would have been to the tug. Thanks for that!

As a tug driver i'm almost certain it is something related to the tow bar and the tug coming into contact. Another option is that tug hit the towbar while it was still connected to the aircraft. This is possible as the tug is always disconnected from the towbar first. I've had towbars fail and in that case normally the aicraft will return to the bay and have a short inspection. Korean may have elected to do this inspection on the taxiway, thus the 25 min hold.

Thank you for your review! I wanted to note something about the lounges in the video (as I'm watching it). As you know, Korea is pretty... conglomerate-y anywhere you go. The 2 major airlines are currently owned by conglomerates, and the terminal you're in, Terminal 2, was built to satisfy the needs of one of the major airlines, Korean Air. Lounge spaces are set more inside the terminal itself, given the understanding of the architects that lounges are to serve, quite literally, as a relaxing space. Plus, Koreans have this tendency to love luxury things, and the view of luxury in Korea is defined as a department store: no windows, modern interiors, either grayscale colors or "luxury" colors (gold, royal blue, etc.). This is why you see so many Korean lounges that are located inside of the terminal without views of the apron or the runways, given the thought "Why pay to see out the window in a lounge when you can do that next to the gate?" I understand that Korean terminals also may look... empty. But for Koreans, our view of a "sleek, luxury, and modern" is what you're seeing right now. I think that what might have happened was the ULRs or the baggage underneath might have fallen, given that they're pretty heavy and could have not been secured properly (although that would be a major issue...). Also, in my view, the seat itself and the IFE are pretty outdated, and many people in Korea have said that the seat looks too old and tacky. All in all, thanks for a great review!
@tfft Жыл бұрын
Thanks very much for the explanation. Never thought of the (lack of) windows from the lounge like that, but it definitely makes sense.

I'm not sure the design of ICN has much to do with Korean's view of luxury things. ICN was designed way back in the early 90s with focus a on functionality as a hub vs aesthetics. Design trends have since changed for airports.
@ItsSun Жыл бұрын
@@johniii8147 Although that is true for the 1st terminal and the concourse, as a person who has flown out of both the 1st terminal, 2nd terminal, and the concourse, the 2nd terminal, which was built in the 2010s and finished at the start of 2018, was built with more white tones with contrasting dark blue tones compared to the 1st terminal. Design trends have changed, as you said, but the 2nd terminal itself is not that old compared to the 1st terminal. Design wise, the colors that they chose, white and near-black blue, clearly reflect on current fashion and luxury views of Korea :D

Regarding the incident at 11:10, a similar situation happened to me in SFO with a 777, except we were still at the gate about to push back. The tugs' arm broke, causing that sound loud noise you heard. We waited 30 mins before another tug came and pushed us back. Nothing was wrong with the airplane itself. The captain came over the PA and told us that that's what happened.

As an Aircraft Mechanic and former ramp agent, its most likely that the ground crew might have removed the bypass pin before removing the tow bar from the aircraft. This means that the aircraft nose wheel will be forced back into straight line while being connected to the tow bar (and perhaps the towing truck as well). This could explain the creaking sound followed by a loud bang sound as towbar got whipped along with wheel.

You can literally recognize ICN Terminal 2 as a wider, quieter, cleaner and more modern space. Instead, the disadvantage is that there are not many entertainment facilities, duty-free shops, restaurants, and regularly conducted cultural experience spaces concentrated in Terminal 1. Anyway, if you're going to spend a lot of waiting time at the airport, moving to Terminal 1 and staying there is a better option in many ways.

Thank you for sharing you trip. First off, I agree with you about that noises there after your aircraft was pushed back. That was the truck that was tugging your aircraft back. And then the disconnect of the pole and the elevator platform letting the nose and front wheel down. I am glad no one hit the aircraft in an accident. Anyway, your Business Class seat looked nice. Ì am glad you did not have to climb over the seat partner when getting up. I am glad you touched the blanket to see how it felt. Yes, I think some airlines don't get some things right. Well, the meal service looked nice and yes, what was wrong with eating a traditional Korean airline meal. To me that was nice you selected because you wanted to have that. Finally, I agree with you about the Korean Lounge before the flight. I guess their design and location is a little bit different. Wow, I am glad you got out of there after you finished your shower. That crowd looked like way more people!!! My last point is did you go tovthe Korean airline lounge after your flight to see how that one would be fir just additional info for you?

@@magnustan841 comparing Korean lounge with Japanese and Taiwanese is an insert to those lounges in Japan and Taiwan…. Especially considering what they are offering.. it is not a matter of being conservative and understating but what is offered in front of each of us..

I've seen a video showing several possible activities at Incheon Airport, but I haven't seen those in person either. Maybe they are in terminal 1, but why does the biggest Korean airline not use terminal 1 then?

Thanks for your criticisms of Korean Air and ICN. If Korea wants to keep bragging that their airlines and airport are the best in the world, they need to step it up and look at what other truly world-class airlines are doing. In my opinion, ICN is not comparable to Singapore Changi or Doha Hamad in any way. A lounge at the airline's home without any windows is unacceptable. The only reason why Korean Air is staying afloat despite their very high prices is because of Koreans who tend to be very loyal and refuse to fly on any other airline.

At least, captain is supposed to inform to all passengers on board. Without Flight deck update, flight attendant just said what? "IT'S NORMAL." that was 100% unprofessional and insincere answer. I can simply imagine they tend to not sharing issues even if all passengers are supposed to know and they might give you alternative excuses most of time. Thank you for the video!

Yes Kevin I do agree with you on ICN being a cold large place with furnishings to boast, very much like how PEK or PVG makes me feel. Not too sure why they are rated so highly, lack of quality airline and third party lounges, coupled with the lack of any particularly useful airport amenities means arriving early makes less sense. This is no SIN, HKG or even HND for that matter. Though I have say the ICN Airport express is a great feature though.

Loved your honest report on Korean air and ICN T2! Seems like Korean Air's not keeping up with their competitors like ANA or SQ. There were some issues here in Korea several months ago when retired staffs and flight attendants made a whistleblowing that KE is making excessive cost cuts, sacrificing the service quality. I believe that caused setbacks everywhere, including in flight meals and lounge services.

I not flown KAL at all, let alone in business. But I can't get over the color of those seats. If I just saw the seat and didn't know it was in a modern business class setup, I would think it was a seat from the 1960's, and not in a good way. One of the ugliest business class cabins IMO.
