The NEED to participate is weird as shit, watching the threads of discussion after an aviation accident is full of people with zero knowledge positing what they think caused it by pulling random things out of their arse, or worse yet, "I asked ChatGPT what happened and here's what it said."

Holy shit. Are the only words I have for this. Epic af, both the art and the crews and all the people behind the scenes that make this happen safely every hurricane season.

*except didn't hit the aircraft, just went up and over it and landed in the grass on the right side of the runway.

Pretty much, yup. Sounds like one set of mounts failed, the other set couldn't do it all by themselves against an engine producing that much thrust, so the engine hinged around them and broke those off too and went off to do its own thing.

I forgot BC wasn't all just pine trees, still got some of those fall colors. Missed this place, cautiously glad to be back to start off a new chapter. Ontario was great, but never quite felt like home.

Sounds like you've had so much to handle in so short a time, and of course even the best laid plans never go quite as smooth as we thought. Seems you've got a good handle on it through it all, and I wish the best for you in this new chapter. Have a good flight!

Flight attendants have been dealing with it too, FAA reports almost 6,000 unruly passenger in 2021, up from around 1,000 in 2018-2020; still hovering at 2,000/year since that spike. $7.5 million USD in fines issued in 2023.

Same, Ry. Bonus point for startling the person startling you because they didn't expect your reaction to their opening their mouth to be so violent. π

With all the concerns that have been arising these past few months about the safety of air travel, while this is limited to data from the US, this is a great article with data and context to back it.
Are plane close calls and crashes actually increasing? Hereβs what the data says
Is flying still as safe as it once seemed? The statistics help reveal the answer.

I just got mine back a few minutes ago, see if that sticks and starts rolling out for busier places too.

At least for me, appears to be back up and running again. For now. Knock on wood.

A rejected takeoff on a 737-200 Combi. Doesnβt get any more avgeek than that.
So, uhβ¦huh. We didnβt get far.
A rejected takeoff on a 737-200C was not expected, but I was rolling video and captured it! Look at those clamshell thrust reversers go!
There was an indication in the flight deck and weβll be returning to the gate for now. #AvGeek

And I suppose too, the altitude shown on FR24 or the image in the ASN article both show just how on the border of control this aircraft was, they couldn't maintain direction or altitude, which would be immensely difficult with a stuck rudder. That pilot tried his absolute best, though.

The yellow sections are the only times they got above 100m indicated (as these don't necessarily report actual altitude above ground. It's complicated. π

Closest I can find for you is the link below, other than the Aviation subreddit thread on the crash. The FR24 post I read said, "attempting to return to the airport", which could also be taken as difficulty controlling the aircraft, seems the case considering the constant left hand circles flown.

Reports are pilot had flight control issues. They were desperately trying to keep their plane under control while getting it back to the runway. There wasn't a single person in existence on the ground who could have helped them with that.

The intended escape path is supposed to be off the back of the wing -- the 737's wings are low enough slides aren't required, though some safety cards show the flaps fully deployed for an evacuation, this one may have been unexpected.
