The problem is that no one that follows the law was armed. These people are called soft targets. By definition, there is nothing they can do. If this happened in Texas, he wouldn’t have made it pass the front lobby.
What an arrogant Air Bus Captain. He heard the King Air aircraft was on final but did not alert to this nor listen to the radio. Then takes off anyway with the other aircraft about to land head on. smh. Then rotates way to soon, going far to slow, and has a tail strike. Idiot. Airbus Captain should have immediately told ATC about the tail strike and turned around and landed. Both pilots were wrong, the other aircraft told them repeatedly we are landing. IMHO .. I'd have fired that Airbus Captain. He put so many lives in grave danger. And also climbing to 31,000' feet omg after a tail strike, fire him. The Air Bus could have easily come apart. wth
'I hope you don't hit us' is certainly a sentence of all time to hear while you're in a cockpit, holy shit.
What struck me as important is that the tail strike should have been reported imdiatly due to posible debris on or damage to the runway that could affect all trafic after the tailstrick untill the runway had been confirmed as clear and undamaged.
I’m still scratching my head over the fact that the pilots of both planes just kinda accepted that they were on a collision course when there was still enough time to take action.
I had a drug problem i went to my boss and confessed. He put me thru rehab on his dime. The day i got out. He sent me to a second rehab because he read one time isnt enough. Kept my bills paid. So my family didnt suffer. That was 10 years ago. I still work for him. Ill never leave him. He saved my life. My family. My career. Got me help before the police caught me screwing up. If you have a problem ask for help you might be surprised on how much help you get.
My coworkers at the hospital where I used to work had to report a doctor who was about to go into surgery. It's a tough call, but in situations like these, when lives are at risk, it's the only logical thing to do.
