The DC-9 (left) lost its steering capability while taxiing to the gate after landing in Minneapolis, and crashed into the A319 which was loading its passengers.

of course like your website but you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I’ll certainly come back again.

The pilot doesn’t back the plane up, the plane isn’t being marshaled by the man with the wands the tug is, planes can’t go backwards, barring the use of reverse thrusters which is banned at most airports. Before you reply telling me how stupid and wrong I am, I am a pilot myself and know this for a fact.

I’m a pilot and i can confirm that reverse thrust CAN in fact move an aircraft in reverse. all that reverse thrust is is a flap at the rear of the engine pushing air forward HOWEVER NOT ALL GAS IS REDIRECETD, only about 60% at full throttle. The FAA restricts the use of RTs (reverse thrusters) to use on the runway.
From what it looks like the plane had WAY too much speed on the taxiway and either the steering linkages (all of em) broke or the wet asphault caused it to slide and hydroplane into the other plane. note how the dairplane in the rear would have been increadibally close to the other had it been on course. and to you, airplane god, that is indeed an a320

It can, but airports don’t allow that. That would be a safety violation.

The tug probably was backing up the airbus as the DC-9 was taxiing to the gate.

Not entirely true. The one on the left, the DC-9, can actually back up without a tow/push tractor. If the Airbus on the right is at the gate, which it appears to be (noting the ground equipment to the far left), then the pilot of the DC-9 screwed up. There is no reason why the dc-9 would be behind the airbus otherwise, especially not seeming to be heading into a gate as well.

Both of those planes have reverse thrust. The DC 9, or the small one, has reverse thrust in its rear mounted engines, but you can’t see them because of the angle of the shot. The big airplane, has reverse thrust on its wing mounted engines. I think the plane is an Embraer 175, or it might be an A320 or A319.

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.

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.

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.

you are wrong the reverst thrust is praticly nill

By: scott

scott — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:11:45 +0000

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

The pilots don’t back the planes up. They’re pushed out by specially designed vehicles.

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.
