The captain deciding to land on a different runway because the wind was favorable to keep smoke away from the cabin...WOW. Just...wow!!! What a pilot!

[@danijuggernaut]

@@GhostWatcher2024 What are you talking about ??? 34 is nearly north, they had 8 knots wind from 270, this is westwind. If the aircraft is heading to north, he will have wind from the left. The fire on engine 2 (right hand) will be blown to the right, away from the fuselage.

[@alk672]

@@danijuggernaut aircraft doesn't "feel" the wind as it travels within the air mass. The fire would only be moved by gusts, not by the general, steady, component of the wind. The only time the wind would affect the flames is immediately prior to touchdown (during the slipping phase of the approach) and once on the ground.

[@danijuggernaut]

@@alk672 You´re talking bullshit, engine burning flames can blow to the fuselage standing on the ground and burn down the aircraft. That happens allready in aviation history with a Boeing 737-200 from Britidh Airtour in Manchester 1985. You just have no idea, all this wind direction issue is because of the aircraft evacuation in static position on the ground. Right engine flames with westwind, the flames will be blow away the fuselage.

I don't think they had enough time to abort when they were right at the cusp of takeoff. I think the captain made the right decision to continue with the takeoff and try landing rather than potentially running off the runway with an active fire that could have ignited the rest of their fuel.

[@suzyrottencrotch5132]

Gerardo Alvarado That is incorrect also the v1 is part of an envelope it’s not the red line.

[@Justice_Frog]

@@suzyrottencrotch5132 I actually just looked up the pilot, Maurizio Guzzetti. He has a Ted talk posted on KZbin where he explains his decision. It starts at the 6 minute mark. Essentially he only had about a third of a second to make the decision to continue or abort the takeoff. He states that if he had followed with the proper procedures, the wind would have blown the fire into the fuselage while he was slowing down to a stop and people would have died. Obviously we cannot say that for sure. There was still a lot of luck involved, but his actions after making the decision in a life-or-death situation was very impressive and should be commended.

I wondered that too. I see now way they would dump fuel unless they were absolutely confident there were no flames.

[@hrgiyzueghe]

@John Lorton Unfortunately I'm not a pilot, but I've heard it from the man itself who explained everything in a long and super interesting interview. But if you look at a 737 takeoff video, you can see that a 737 takes approximately 13 seconds to accelerate from 80 to 145 kts (approx v1), which is 4.6 kts per second. This means that you have less than a second from 141 to 145 kts to take the decision. Basically he heard the bang, looked at the speed, said "continue", and he was already at or above v1. Had he decided to cancel the takeoff, he would have been in a very narrow spot, without the certainty of stopping, and even if he managed to stop he had the additional risk of fuel and fire causing an explosion. As he said in the interview, "modern airplanes are safer in the sky than on the ground".
