I am relieved that there are at least some professionals out there that are similarly stunned with this incident.
etudiant
The vibration and asymmetric thrust alone would have stopped any sane Captain in his tracks to investigate what the problem was.
We are trained to investigate and consider our options and in this case a stop and request for RFF to advise of how substantial the problem was should have occurred.
Consider the alternative of an uncontained undercarriage fire being dragged to the terminal by a high thrust 767 determined to get to the gate by whatever means was necessary.
I would love to know how serious things have to get before this crew would decide to say enough.
Many a time all that's needed to confirm a blown tyre/s and the ability to taxy SLOWLY off the runway or to the bay is a stop and RFF inspection request.
For a delay of 10 minutes at most!
