Why must there have been some form of negligence - do you know what caused it to slid off the runway ?

[emmie]

according to the link, it was possibly a bird strike..

[Mamyalynne]

If early indications are correct, then yes the birds were negligent for not being observant.

[Bazile]

Yes - there you are out for a morning fly , when this totally irresponsible avian beast sucks you into it's engine

[melv16]

Should have ducked :-)

[Ellipsis]

Bird strikes can still be considered negligence if the airport failed to take adequate steps to keep the birds away.

But still, let's just thank goodness that nobody was injured. I'm very impressed that the plane stayed in one solid piece through that manoeuvre.

Why don't you swan off :-)

lets all wait and see for the technical report shall we

[erik2]

Ellipsis it was travelling at around 30mph at the time, not hundreds lol

[emmie]

i believe an engine was sheared off, at least what i thought the reporter said..

[douglas9401]

Perhaps a victim of vibration physics.

[douglas9401]

Beg pardon, vibrational physics.

no there made though than that fortunately

Apparently the starboard engine went into a surge mode, excessive power, turned the plane sharply left and down the slip and slide.

i dont know where you getting your info from ? i know about aircraft you obviously dont they dont break off! the plane was taxing slowly it slid off undercarriage got bogged in mud .engine surge apparently caused it to break off, but still thats for the experts to confirm, your getting mixed up with the fact engines are designed to break away if there is a violent vibration in one that would lead to bad wing damage,
