Russia: TU 22M3 bomber crash during disaster landing Russia: TU 22M3 bomber crash on Tuesday, January 22, during his crash landing at an airfield in the Murmansk region. During a crash landing caused by a snowstorm, the bomber on a training flight without ammunition struck hard on the runway and caught fire. Commenting on the accident, a Russian aviation expert, Vadim Lukachevich, estimated that it had been caused by a vertical gust of wind that would have propelled the aircraft onto the runway while the pilots could not do nothing because of almost zero visibility. According to him, the aircraft would then descend "about 50 meters" in one fell swoop.

How a Million Pound 747-8 Tests It’s Brakes "Watch this amazing video of what happens when Boeing wants to make sure the carbon ceramic brakes on its new Boeing 747-8 work under the worst possible conditions. Specifically, Boeing has to simulate the worst possible conditions: a rejected take-off with no reverse thrusters on worn-out brakes. The result? Red-hot 2,552 degree brakes. Yes! Boeing's 747-8 is the latest and most economical version of company's popular jumbo jet. As part of the testing procedure they have to put a maximum load on the landing gear to make sure it'll hold up in an emergency. To simulate the worst case scenario, the aircraft is fully fueled to the maximum weight (about 975K pounds), the brakes are worn down 100%, and a pilot is told to accelerate to a takeoff speed of 200 mph and then slam on the completely toasted brakes as if it were part of an aborted takeoff. Normally, the pilot would try to use reverse thrust to stop the plane and fire crews would be on hand within three minutes to start putting out the fire. In this experiment they assume the thrusters don't work and the fire crews are a full five minutes away. The result? It stopped about 700 feet short of the estimated length as the brakes glowed under the 1,400C (2,552F) heat."

Tourist Blown Over By Jet Blast At Skiathos Airport Tourists gathering at this runway can experience a different kind of takeoff - as it’s so close to a beach the force from the airplane engines can blow them over. This jaw-dropping footage, captured at Skiathos Airport on the Greek island Skiathos, begins with a passenger plane - an Airbus A321-231 - taxiing towards the runway for takeoff. As it turns and sets on the runway, which is bookended by the Aegean Sea, the engines rev up sending an initial blast of air towards beach-goers gathered around 30ft from the runway. The huge gusts build as the engines begin to thrust, making the vegetation wave wildly, with the raw power making it difficult for onlookers to stand still without holding onto the fence. And as the plane speeds along the runway for takeoff, it sends people flying backwards if they aren’t holding onto the fence. The incredible video was captured by tourist Paul Turner, from Cheshire, UK, who runs camera stabilizer company Smoothshot. He also filmed planes flying just feet overhead when landing on the same runway, on May 11 2018.
