niggas wit attitude taken over dah airport.
gangsta rap airline fail
no. there having sexy sex!
how actually this gonna happen
Looks like the one in front backed into the one in back. With no rear visibility, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often. I know you’ve got Captain Eveready down there with the flashlights, but still…
The pilots don’t back the planes up. They’re pushed out by specially designed vehicles.
I can’t even imagine what happened here… crazy!
¡ A pesar de los controles, también se presentan percances !
¿ Supieron lo del caso del DC-9 de ASERCA en Maiquetia, que rodo
solo con los motores prendidos en dias pasados?
“Looks like the one in front backed into the one in back. With no rear visibility, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often. I know you’ve got Captain Eveready down there with the flashlights, but still…”
erm, airplanes don’t have reverse gear… or any gears for that matter. they only go backwards when that little truck thing is towing them.
actually…some aircraft have reverse thrust, allowing them to move in reverse, however neither of the aircraft showed here comes equipped with it
looks like YOU FAIL
nah, reverse thrust on most jet airliners isn’t powerful to make ‘em move backwards too quickly, and it’s never used for backing up because the jet blast could cause damage to anything in front of the plane (like if the plane is at the gate at a large airport, using reverse thrust would shatter the windows in the terminal building). The one in back DEFINITELY went forward into the other plane.
WRONG! It will on almost all. Been there done that.
you are wrong the reverst thrust is praticly nill
Spoken like someone who flies about once every twenty years. Lots of airlines uses reverse thrust instead of paying pushback services at airports. DC9’s have plenty of reverse thrust power. Ever flew Airtran or Valujet in the 90’s? All reverse thrust, no pushbacks.
Actually as someone who has taken flight training, reverse thurst is never to be used under 70 knots, it can damage the jet engines. It can only be used to test before flight. A push-back is required at all major international airports. Most airports also do not allow a pilot to begin the engine startup sequence until push-back to avoid harming the workers on the ground.
looks like the one in the back forwarded into the one in the front. they’ve got plenty of front visibility, so i’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often. captain eveready was busy changing the batteries in his flashlight.
wow, I wonder which airport this happened at?

It happened in Minneapolis… before the bridge collapse actually : )
“erm, airplanes don’t have reverse gear… or any gears for that matter. they only go backwards when that little truck thing is towing them.”
No. Commercial jet aircraft have thrust reversers. They can back up under their own power. However, I don’t know of any Part 23 (read: light) jet aircraft with thrust reversers; those aircraft would require a truck to back them up. I suppose a turboprop could back up by adjusting the blade pitch, but I don’t work with those and don’t know much about them. Also, LSAs and ultralights can often be found with gearboxes between the engine and the prop.
“Commercial jet aircraft have thrust reversers. They can back up under their own power.” – Aircraft knowledge FAIL.
Thrust reversers are use to slow the aircraft down when on the ground. On modern aircraft with engines below the wing, using reversers below a certain speed (about 60 knots, 110kph) can actually damage the engines. That NWA Airbus 319 certainly did NOT do that. Very few jets would actually be able to do that actually (old DC9’s and Fokkers for example).
Virtually all heavy commercial aircraft do have reversers, but they would never deliberately use them to taxi backwards – doing so would ingest dirt and debris into the engines.
The larger aircraft is an Airbus 320 of some kind, and is equipped with reversers although as I said it would never use them to go backwards. The other aircraft probably caused the crash.
You FAIL at Google.
On a pilot’s forum, this seemed to be a popular sentiment, “Should show that video to all the morons that unbuckle and start grabbing crap out of the overhead bins before the plane is stopped.”
NTSB Preliminary Report
The DC had hydraulic problems during flight but landed without incident. They wisely stopped and requested a tow to the gate. When it didn’t come timely, and with the plane apparently working well enough, they unwisely decided to come to the gate under their own power — that’s when they lost the ability to steer.
Jeez, links were eaten, I FAIL at FAIL Blog. Trying again.

That wing is less than half a meter away from Pilot Pwnage, any lower and the whole cockpit would be toast
I think this is a reproduction fail….
narh…planes can reverse nowadays. I was on one when it overshot past it’s turn seconds after landing…had to reverse to get into the runway.
Isn’t this mislabled. Shouldn’t it be :
Procreation Fail
Go MSP… Sigh…NWA will take you places… in an ambulance…
…And that’s where baby airplanes come from.
P.S.: I lol’ed when I realized that the sides of the planes read “NWA.”
BITCH!!! I was here first!
That’s not a fail. That’s sweet, sweet love.
Niggas With Airlines fail
See children, the male mates with the female by “riding on the female’s back”.
airplane mating win
*giggle*
They’re getting all freaky.
Slippery when Wet.
oh my god, how on earth did this actually happen
um… i think theres a wing missing on the smaller plane……. this is obviously fake
lol plane sex
the plane in the back lost control and hit the other plane if they even had reverse it would only move the plane at about 15 mph not nerly enough to do that much damage
Far be it from me to come up with facts that might interfere with a good FAIL flamewar, but straight from the horse’s mouth:
http://ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20051213X01965&key=2
The one in front is an Airbus 319. The one in the back is a DC9-51. Fact of the matter is that there’s plenty of fail to go around. Considering this was Northwest Airlines, this should be a surprise to nobody.
i think we are about to get some baby-planes
THERE MATEING TO MAKE LITTLE PLANES GOSH ! CAN A PLANE EVER GET SOME PRIVECY AND YES I KNOW I SPELLED IT WRONG SO SUCK IT
