Missing/crashed planes, and other aviation mis/adventures

They did well to walk away.

I’m glad they walked away, but fark me why would you get on that thing to take off on that strip, the mind boggles.

I’m not sure if the strip was that short or the pulled to the port side, off the runway, for some reason?

It looks from that angle like very little room for error, it’s trees or busy road, crazy stuff.

Didn’t it already get confirmed as a Stage 3 bit of Indias rocket they launched in 1993?

Don’t know, but it has made international news.

Good thing it wasn’t a mine.

But then Gina Rinehart would have claimed it. She loved mines.

Thankfully no one hurt but SYD has been in absolute chaos for the last 4.5hrs after a Malaysian airlines flight had to be turned back to SYD after a nutjob on the flight caused a scene and alleged he had something in his backpack. They landed back at SYD and 16R/34L was closed for just under 5hrs causing flights to be delayed, cancelled or diverted.
Must have been some heavy negotiations as I was told the AFP didn’t storm the aircraft until 3hrs after it landed

Geez, Malaysian Airlines again. Lucky nothing really bad happened, would not have been good for another disaster for them.

Definitely going to be a Mid Flight Brawl episode.
