Original Message On here as far as I am concerned but flown the 135 for 12plus years. The cockpit would have been screaming at him to land. In a fire there is ALWAYS a place to land even at a intersection Or school yard or parking lot or road. I'm pretty sure he was over a street He just decided wrong And consequences for this. im curious if he even pushed the fuel shut off on the number one engine or if it was a broken fuel line and it didn't matter. The point is we all know now what can happen if you don't land right away and an engine fire. I remember a video many years ago in Los Angeles of a news helicopter that was shooting smoke all over the sky. Being filmed by another news helicopter. I think it was an oil line but even in downtown Los Angeles he landed in some ghetto parking lot safely. |
