Wow! That was good…liked the humor about running out of film to record the crash!:D

Ahh that could explain it then, optical illusion it is then. I never even gave that a thought.

Anbody any idea what the rejected take-off was caused by then (other than a noob pilot:p)

Is it my eyes or wasn’t the inboard engines running prior to T/O. Maybe something to do with that and running the engines up to temp and pressure properly before putting them under load. You just can’t start an engine and run it up to full power under load right away.

The appartent low rpm of the props might just be a function of the video camera being used – I know my Camcorder sometimes “captures” images in such a way that on play back it slows props to a near idle even though they were running at high rpm when filmed. Some strange function of the image capture speed vs the actual rpm – a bit like the well known optical illusion in old Westerns when the wheels on the covered wagons often appeared to be rotating backwards as the wagon went along….

Wow, that’s incredible. Thought it was hilarious when the pilot shook the stick in anger afterwards.

Anyone know when this was or what the aircraft registration is?

The info on the Youtube link says it was Alada and the reg was D2-FFR. A quick trawl on the internet said it was operating a flight for DHL and it happened on 26th September. They have been around for a while, I remember watching one (Aeroflot) take off at Kano Airport Nigeria in 1960 and marvelling at how long it took to climb off the runway into the sky

Quite spectacular – it could have been a lot worse – thanks for posting it.
