[QUOTE=jordguitar;44230157]They never left the ground. They got closer to it.
Nose gear collapsed after the tire blew so they got to slow after that. Even if the nose gear did not collapse, they would have most likely aborted as long as it was before V1.[/QUOTE]
V2 would have made this story end completely differently.
Either they were light enough to do a forced rotation, and do an emergency belly landing after burning some fuel, or they would have to nose plant.. which is incredibly dangerous at that speed.

They. Never. Left. The. Ground.
Either it took awhile for the gear to collapse or it collapsed when the tire blew.
Either way, hard to miss a explosion under their feet.
The period in the title confused me.
I thought the city was called Phila and the airport somehow crashed.

I was saying as a hypothetical.. if it had of popped just under V2, the article we read would have been drastically different.

Well yea, V2's are pretty dangerous.

Aircraft tires pop all the time. It's a pretty common thing.
Normally the landing gear doesn't collapse, though.
[QUOTE=Sindri335;44229082]wow this is crazy this cant be a coincidence. im pretty sure accidents like these are like one in a million and it happens many times in a few weeks.. what do you think is the agenda are airlines trying to put the price of plane tickets up? hmm at least i hope its safe to fly i have a flight soon and i really dont want it to fall considering how incompetent the government is at looking for them[/QUOTE]
It's called media relevance.
When a top band gets called out for rape you'll find loads more rape stories being posted. When a plane crashes you'll see lots more minor accidents being posted. And so on.
