Here's some cell phone video from the Air Asia flight the other day that started shaking 90 minutes after takeoff. They had to turn around and the plane was shaking like this the whole 90 minutes back.
Fuck.

My inside are shaking just thinking about this.

No worries, it's just a flat spot on the tire.

A nice soothing vibrating plane. No thanks.

Whats the problem? My car does the same thing.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Your car fails, you die and maybe a couple others. The plane fails, over 200 people die, not counting who the plane falls on.

Here i am, sitting on the shitter having a massive one at the airport... thanks
MistressLyda
From what I understand, planes are safer the weeks after something like this. The people checking it gets a bit more alert for a while.
icanthinkofsecondusername
sorry buddy, have a safe flight!
mikkemukkamann
Made it home safe!????

someones granny must of thrown some coins in the engine for good luck.
swiggityswootymcgroovy
Yeah that's not supposed to happen. Shaking is one thing but holy fuck that engine

Alright, why couldn't it land at a nearby airport? Why fly back to the one you came from, that flight path shows in went by other cities.
icanthinkofsecondusername
My guess is that's the airport with maintenance facilities and the plane was probably in no danger of falling out of the sky, just shaking.
DavidBrooker
Western Australia is pretty desolate. If you're going to have a bad landing, probably best to have it near the only major city so that 1/2
DavidBrooker
rescue crews have a chance to actually get to you and hospital beds are available. Those two other cities have a population under 50k. 2/2
DavidBrooker
(that's 50k added together)
ToastedVanilla
Reminds me of my 9 hour flight to Japan which had about 8 hours of turbulence. It sucks and it's scary.
ErdogantheFalafelMan
That is one plane I am willing to board, after the repairs obviously. With that kind of stress test and still flying. Count me in.
Strostkovy
Aluminum fatigues pretty badly, so they likely have a ton of stress cracks now.

First off, $20 vouchers for almost dying! You can almost get a Starbucks coffee at the airport for that! Secondly, probably could of made it

I went to Sweden and our plane got brought down by a bomb threat and they literally gave us £10.. -_-

On the positive side, that's £10 more than you would have had if the threat had been real!

Speaking from experience?
Javertoldfriend
If the turbulence is strong enough, yes. Rather be loopy and high when the jet disintegrates
ItsDandySpaceDandy
Yes. I at one point was eating 10-15 2mg bars in a day. It was bad.
ColoradoGirrl
3 1mg is my limit.
CobraCommander04
Eh, most planes can fly on one engine for long enough to make it to an airport.
Dextream
pretty sure its one engine and half a wing
Duskilas
«plane catches fire» eh, most planes can fly on one engine, it's fine
Thatoneguyfromthedistance
That plane could have been at the ETP in the middle of the Atlantic and they would have made it to land.
poorwhitetrash
It's the landing thing that's too difficult.
IMadeAnAccountForThisFuckingSobStory
all bowing planes are able to effectively glide to a safe landing plus fly on a single engine. good engineering and design rules.
Cakesndots
Yes engineers have designed the earth to always have a safe place to land within gliding range.....
RogenaValorina
No, they're not.
UncageTheSage
Who do they bow to? I'm guessing the laws of physics.
HellomynameisSatan
Unless an unbalanced turbofan fucking disintegrates and takes half the wing. Or can a plane fly on one wing too?
TrustmeImadoctorzoidberg
https://theaviationist.com/2014/09/15/f-15-lands-with-one-wing/
Thorbane
That still had all of its engine power, and a significant amount of it's lift is generated by the fuselage.
HellomynameisSatan
Thats impressive!
baldewok
And that pilot is a retard for not shutting it down.
sdfsdfsfccc
if it wasn't shut down the frequency of that vibration I'm sure would have been much much higher.
sentx
There isn't a turbine shaft brake for engines like that, like @oldwhitebelly said, its probably offline or idling at best.
ec437
Huh, it's almost like planes are carefully designed by professional engineers with multiple failsafes for every foreseeable failure mode!
thenatebshow
It's not the lack of engine that is the problem. It's the structural integrity of the plane (which is not designed to fly that way).
marsgoose
No this is still passable, if the vibrations were to harsh the shear ping holding the engine would fail.
marsgoose
They are designed to run on unbalanced engines, like if a bird flies into it and breaks part of the fan.
marsgoose
Now knowing that I'd still probably need my brown pants if I was in it.
evildadunit
All planes can fly on one engine to the scene of the crash
GhstKng13
pooplop21
Well he is right, but in this situation the concern would be the engine catching fire or exploding from the stress and friction.
Imthedroidyouwerelookingfor
Twin engine aircraft are designed to operate with one engine perfectly normal and can take off and land fine.
CrBNFreeze
Takeoff after a certain speed, and have to have a designation within ETOPS range.
YoshisLeftNut
The pilot actually asked the passengers to pray. Nothing restores peace of mind like your PILOT asking you to pray.
nonamejanie
Would lose my shit completely!!!!
ranapoid
"There's no reason to become alarmed ... By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane"
lft79
Xa xa yes he is the Dude????.ok folks please spend all the goodwill you have
TheSwedishCryptid
From what I've found, the pilot said it like "If you would like, Pray. It might help" as in Help you calm down.
Mimmiss
1. Don't be an idiot and spread false facts. The engine had a problem. They shut it off and due to wind it was shaking.
Mimmiss
2. He said everything was in order and nothing crazy to be alarmed for. BUT if it helps YOU , you can pray. He was a professional.
Picobeat
in the source linked the pilot does not ask to pray, he asks for everyone co-operation as their survival would depend on that.
TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
I have a video of the turbine spitting out fire 30k ft in the air. LAX to PHX. Whole plane shook like this before hand. Then boom.
Corona688
They couldn't shut down that turbine?
TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
I don't think the pilots knew there was an issue until it went boom. Then instantly, pilot= *everyone take a seat* -hard left turn-
temotodochi
Turbine has no brakes. So even when cut off it will keep turning and shaking.
Corona688
Ahah, because of airspeed.
Corona688
I can't imagine why it wouldn't have brakes, though. Its got starter motors and such which should be able to load it down at need.
Genini
Yeah, but they got back safely so the prayer worked.
izoli413365
And if they didn't then God just had better plans for them anyway so fuck em xD

*** shit . Fucking auto correct
brokencrockerypants
Yeah, that's awful. A Captain should never add to panic.
GrannySmithAppleBottomJeans
The engine could fall apart at any moment and kill everyone. Emergency procedure says land ASAP, but we're over an ocean... time to pray
GrannySmithAppleBottomJeans
Pilots are people too
temotodochi
That engine was actually shut down because it lost a blade, but there are no brakes inside so it kept windmilling.
Picobeat
in the source linked the pilot does not ask to pray, he asks for everyone co-operation as their survival would depend on that.
mjayojay
which is not very reassuring
Picobeat
I was just pointing out that the reporter says he asked to pray but not what's shown in the video, maybe in the full version.
usersubbordercontrol
The people probably know something is wrong with plane shaking. Would you rather know something is bad and fix it, or it get worse?
