Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
If you speak (Swiss) German, you have to turn on the closed captions, the way it tries to interpret the Swiss German bits as English is absolutely hilarious!
It's not as much an emergency as it sounds---all modern jetliners are fully capable of flying and landing with just one engine.
So If I did my math right, they dumped 53 tons of fuel at a value of $83,360?
I've visited the control center of my city's power grid last year and the tour guide said that they are looking for people that stay extremly calm and get a coffee first when they get an alert.
I know the first officer. She is now a training captain at Swiss. She is a super cool person to work with!!!
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit chocolate...
I read Captain Sullyโs book About landing on the Hudson River. At the back of the book they have the actual transcript and I was shocked to read only one profanity was said the entire ordeal (co-pilot said โshitโ right after the bird strike took out both engines). The professionalism and chill attitude under very stressful circumstances was super impressive to me.
I missed why the fuel dump was necessary. Were they too heavy to land with 3 engines if they kept it?
That reminds me of a joke.
A fighter jet is coming in to land when the tower calls him up to go back on circuit, as a cargo plane has lost an engine and needs to come in for an emergency landing.
"Ah yes", the fighter pilot sends dryly, "the dreaded 7 engine landing".
*Totally correct, Complyorbesilence. I felt cargo plane would sit better with a wider audience.
