runway incursion

[roguejuror]

The footage shows a Boeing 767 from the Russian airline UTair coming in to land on a runway at El Prat airport.

But as the plane prepares to touch down, an Aerolineas Argentineas Airbus A340 is seen taxiing across the runway, while the Russian jet pulls up.

The video.

Wasn't even that close. People be confused by the optical effect of a very long zoom. You can see a lot of atmospheric haze in front of the plane.

Atmospheric haze equals distance.

Science, bitches.

I bet housepicks could jump from one of those planes to the other.

 

[PuckOff]

I bet he already has!!!

Article said 1km away but still the pilot felt like aborting.

Chose aborting the landing over burning in a fiery ball of jetfuel.

I get that.

At 300km/h (186mph), that plane covers 1000 meters in 12 seconds.

What the fuck is "MPH"?

Oops! Someone spilled their coffee when that plane lifted up on landing.

Interesting. Do you think that planes go that fast 1 KM out on approach to the runway? I always wondered how fast planes fly when on approach.

Yes, that seems to be around the landing speed for most big commercial jets. I think it was American Airlines once that displayed the plane's speed as we were landing, and I once used a GPS app to check the speed during landing. 250-300 seems to be the norm.

Interesting. It always seems like the plane is going slow or even gliding. 300 km/h. I always thought it was like 100km/h or something.

It's hard to judge speed when the plane is coming at you. You need to observe the planes landing from a side view like at the airport to realize how fast they land.

FIELD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!

I rent a storage unit that is right by Pearson airport. I looooove driving along the fence(s) while a big jet lands.
