Rich Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I don't see why it can't be real, planes aren't exactly light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I would just be very surprised a runway could be in such a condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Could be like a sink hole, maybe the ground under the tarmac has eroded and the weight of the plane caused it to collapse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 It looks like the area has had extensive repairs and the area is on a taxi way not the main runway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yeah its real happened in Budapest , the a/c ran off the taxiway , probably weighs around 280 tonnes fully laden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 What are the runways made from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Concrete in my experience but thats military. This aircraft isnt on the runway or taxiway you can see the centre line of the taxiway to the right of the nose wheel so they were well off line , on most airports they would have been on grass and sunk even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 So pilot error is the true reason..... I can't imagine what would have happened if the plane was at speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yeah its no real drama , they will tow it out but they may need to offload the cargo and fuel first Lot worst things happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Is that arse down due to to much weight at the tail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 yep , they didnt empty the rear most fuel tank before the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Blimey it doesn't install much confidence..... I still feel a concrete taxi way shouldn't crumble like it did, in fact i don't feel the pilot had any blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
