‘Dutch Roll’ Incident Prompts FAA/NTSB Investigation The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating yet another alarming incident in which a Boeing 737 MAX 8 experienced a “Dutch roll” at roughly 32,000 feet —a rare phenomenon when the aircraft rolls in one direction and yaws in the other. |

American Airlines had a close call this time. They were leaving on a takeoff run and multiple tires blow out on the starboard main gear forcing a aborted takeoff. Then after they safely stopped a tire fire started. https://youtu.be/TBSeRyYgRcw?si=-EbMnhaAaLZEBhil |

Another news report shows the main gears tires on the port side where flat and the starboard side tires shredded. |

Wondering if all these problems are related to shoddy maintenance and/or something more nefarious like "union" sabotage to keep jobs? |

They got lucky there was still enough runway to stop in. It could have been a different story if they had no choice but to takeoff and come back. |

V1 - VR - V2 Calculate before every flight. |

V1 - VR - V2Yep. They were (very probably) below the V1 speed, so they were able to stop in time. If they were over V1, then they were committed to taking off- which probably wouldn't have been an issue. All the smoking/smouldering/fire when the plane came to a stop is more than likely the result of the emergency stop. If they'd taken off, they could have turned back and landed safely, most likely without the damage to all the other tyres. But the rules are that if there is a significant issue on take-off, and you can stop safely, you do. Grant Darwin NT |

Bus crash between Barcelona and Tordera injures dozens after vehicle crashes (They mention it crashing at the exit of the tunnel, but to me it looks like it crashed as it was entering the tunnel- drifted off the righthand side of the road & then slid up and across the concrete of the tunnel).

It's pretty rough when you miss the hole. I wonder what their partner has to say on that matter. Cheers. |

Drunk passengers cause mayhem on flight after bringing own booze Unruly passengers wreaked havoc on a Wizz Air flight after allegedly getting drunk on their own alcohol, as seen in a viral video taking off online. |

Justice served in spades. A Utah driver is the first person to face enhanced felony charge under a new road rage law. |

I wonder if she still has a job. :-O A flight was cancelled after a flight attendant lost it at a passenger who reportedly made a very simple request. A flight was cancelled after a flight attendant lost it at a passenger who reportedly requested a blanket. |

A job is the least of the problems. Will this person have to change job careers? |

I will be very interested in the result of this investigation. The plane appeared to be in a flat spin, which is meant to be a significant risk for light aircraft, but almost impossible for larger aircraft to succumb to. And even so, while one of the most difficult problems to recover from, with plenty of altitude (which this aircraft had) it can be done as long as the crew follows the standard recovery procedure.

How the !@#$%^&*() does a pilot of a commercial airliner enter a stall spin? Don't know how old that air-frame was or how updated its avionics were. Recent ones have software to prevent the pilot from even intentionally doing that. The CVR, FDR, ATC and ADSB tapes will be very interesting. And obviously stall spin not a VMC roll over. face palm You can stall at any airspeed but only one critical angle of attack. Stall plus yaw = spin. |

Apparently icing of control services are being looked at as it flew through some pretty bad weather. |
