For lack of just one washer, entire 737 goes up in flames
Incorrect fastener (lack of washer) allowed fuel to leak out of the wing over a China Airlines 737 as it taxiied to a stop, resulting in total hull loss. Amazing video. Airport firefighters are there within 2 minutes but it is too late - entire plane engulfed. (lessonslearned.faa.gov) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Over 3:30 to have the first firefighting vehicle started to work...! And this happened on an international Airport? What a shame!
Like "For want of a nail . . ."
It took more than 3 minutes and that is definitely too long. At the video with the fire already on it took 3 minutes.
"For lack of just one pilot, entire 777 goes up in flames".
... I'm trying to understand why the pilots when out through their windows versus the slide.
