Another DC9 tire incident.

[local 12 proud]

My statement was actually made from a maintenance standpoint. Just to prove a point of your ignorance, the Sioux City DC-10 was not the result of one single failure. It was the result of many. First there was the failure of Maintenance to detect the fatigue cracks in the engine. Then there was the failure of the engine itself. Then there was the failure of the containment system. Then there was the failure of the hydraulic systems. Had the cracks been detected there never would have been a problem. Had the engine simply shelled but remained contained there would have only been an ODI incident to contend with and an engine change. Same goes for, if only one hydraulic system had remained intact. Get a grip local. Like I said calibrated failures.local.

more backpeddling from the ignorant SCAB.., does'nt matter if your statement was from a maintenance standpoint it was and still is ignorant.

It takes a lot of calibrated mishaps and failures to actually bring a jetliner down.

Fact is one small defect set up a chain of events that brought this jet down, not "alot of calibrated mishaps and failures" it was NOT the estimation of some parameters of a model, under the assumption that the model is correct, as a middle step in the study of other parameters that is the culprit you bafoon. It was a MAINTENANCE failure, one that could/should have been prevented but was'nt.

Plain and simple, mistakes KILL.
I believe the Titanics builders also boasted the ship is "Practically Unsinkable"

Another scab beauty.

WTF is a "calibrated mishap"? Is that like a built-in factory defect, a optional defect that can be purchased from Boeing? A new scab term coined by the inept SUPERscab of the year.

Jeezus, the thought of PlaytheCods working on a Scab Air aircraft......sceeerrry. :unsure:

"Calibrated mishap".... :blink: :blink: :blink:

LMFAO... I damn near choked on my pizza!

Yea that must be a term used in a hack shop, kinda like "anticipated damage".

Perhaps he worked at Ford on the "Edsel" project, then again, maybe the "Corvair" @ GM? B)

"anticipated damage" That’s pretty good local. I like that one as well.

Calibrated Mishap, meaning that the possibility of it happening to begin with is almost infinite. What are the chances of a jetliner losing all of its hydraulic power? It simply is not supposed to happen. Just a guess but I would say there was about a thirty-degree window out of 360 degrees for that fan blade to exit the casing to hit those hydraulic lines? There are so many variables that had to fall into place for such an event to occur that you could indeed call it "calibrated".

As far as the Titanic goes. That could not have been a more "calibrated mishap". Just in the steering of the ship alone couldn't have been more perfect to set that whole stage. Had the stayed its course and struck the iceberg head on it would not have sunk. Had the helmsman simply steered hard port with both props forward it would not have sunk. That ship was perfectly steered to maximize damage from the iceberg. I don't think it could have been done better on purpose. Lets not forget that the water temperature and the sulfur laden steel was perfect to make the steel hull as brittle as possible.

PTO, the DC-10 UAL 232 had all three hydralics lines running up into the tail section, therefore, when the engine exploded, it sliced all hydralics with it. And a similar tragedy occurred yrs earlier--AA flt 191 all hydralics came together in the leading edge slats, when the engine pylon ripped, it tore all hydralics with it. that led the FAA to ground all DC-10s in 1980 I believe.

You really need to read up on the incident.

The fan disk seperated it wasn't just blades piercing the casing. The #2 eng was at cruise power slightly over 100%,when that fan disk let go, for all intents an purposes the fan section of the engine exploded. The force of the explosion not only sent shrapnel into the horizontal stablizer and elevators, it tore away the #2 eng accessory drive section, and blew the tail cone completely off the aircraft, the blast pattern was closer to 130 degrees than 30.

Wow, a DC-9 Blows a tire and everyone shouts "Scab"..... LMAO...

Well, at least we can spell LAMO right! 😛 I bet you think your smart, Get it right. :down:

Wow, lucky post number seven from Spirit MD-80, and what a winner it is. I for one fully understand "LMAO" but I am not so sure about "LAMO". Do explain yourself.

So you saw a movie about a boat sinking and all of a sudden you're a structural engineer? So which aviation movie was it that turned you into the "FINE" aircraft hack that you are today???...Airplane???

You can't say shet like that this early in the morning local, Damn it, I just spewed coffee all over my monitor.
