Not much detail yet. Aborted take-off maybe?

Velocipede · May 25th, 2008, 09:42

I can't believe you're speculating on a cause from the info presented.

Don't do that.

Gonzo · May 25th, 2008, 09:49

WTF

surreal1221 · May 25th, 2008, 09:58

Haven't clicked the link, but is that a 747SP?

Why not? I haven't made any judgements, just some idle speculating about what may have happened. I could see the validity of your complaint if I were second guessing pilots' actions, but I'm not sure I see the problem with what I've said so far.

Just looking for clarification, not an argument.

Glad nobody was seriously hurt

Milesar · May 25th, 2008, 10:37

Oh, its just cargo... who cares?

Glad everyone was ok, pretty significant damage, I bet that will cut their duty day in half.

Itchy · May 25th, 2008, 10:45

Escape chute!!!!

WEEEEEeeeeeeeee!

wheelsup · May 25th, 2008, 11:00

The fortunate part is it broke apart on the ground...

BobDDuck · May 25th, 2008, 11:10

Never a good thing to see, but man, that could have turned out a whole lot worse. The picture posted here doesn't show it, but there are a ton of houses about 1/2 mile off the nose of the plane.

It is now!

Extra shortened!

Glad everyone is OK!

Glad none of our pilot brethern were hurt. Very lucky.

It appears to have been a -100. Could have been a -200. Sometimes when they are converted, different windows on the upperdeck are blocked out. Definately not an SP.

JA Yawd Bwoy · May 25th, 2008, 11:32

Wow they are lucky there was ot a fire! Glad they are ok

Thanks, yeah just was able to get the registration.

N704CK

Turns out to be a -200.

fly4food84 · May 25th, 2008, 12:02

Ouch, atleast it has survivors.

HeyEng · May 25th, 2008, 12:47

It was obviously a cargo shift...geez, can't you tell that from the great amount of information and the picture?!? I can't believe no one has solved this mishap yet!!! You guys are letting me down. Oh yes, if there is any doubt...

Glad no one was seriously injured. We have a few guys in our unit that flies for them.

Screaming_Emu · May 25th, 2008, 16:39

It was the snakes....obviously.

A little duct tape and she'll be able to be ferried right back to Oscoda.

Flyin_bryan · May 25th, 2008, 19:58

ASpilot2be · May 26th, 2008, 06:03

We used to do approaches up into Oscoda when I was working on my instrument ticket. I heard a lot of those airplanes up there came in with somewhere between little and no avionics, so they were coming in on VFR flight plans with nothing more than a hand held to get them to where they were going.

That place was kinda wild.

Well, I hope there are home depot around to buy duck/speed tapes.

WestIndian425 · May 26th, 2008, 11:38

I'm glad the outcome was saved lives. Sorry about the loss of the aircraft, though.

Quote:

The aircraft cracked in two after it crashed at the end of runway 220, which lies very close to a rail line and houses.

As usual, something must come out wrong with the news.
