This happened just after we got on stand further into the cul-de-sac. Lots of flashing lights. Apparently the aircraft was seen stuttering forwards (according to fellow FD watching from the gallery) and No.2 Prop and engine had the argument with what looked like the parking mirror.
Feel very sorry for the FD expecially. Must have been quite scary not being able to stop properly! Hope they are well.

If you look at the pictures on the other thread, it is pretty obvious that they had a massive loss of hydraulic fluid in the last few metres of their parking manouver. Hardly a crew co-ordination issue, and hardly a failure to check the brakes either. More a case of an unexpected failure at the worst possible time and with virtually no time to do anything about it. So perhaps a little less of the crew bagging might be in order...???

Perhaps we might save the guesswork for when you know something huh?

Check A/C registration letters. (EI vs G in this report)

Perhaps the submitter BRAL means to point at a suspected similarity between two unrelated incidents?

Oh Noes!

Flaps and spoilers are on the blue system, alond with nosewheel steering, parking/emergency brake, prop brake. Green system handles gear ops and normal braking! It was by the way a complete hydraulics failure ( as seen by the big puddle under the a/c) when on stand. Nothin the crew could do at this point.

Genuine question - probably the time to react to the hydr failure would have been to short anyhow even if a backup is fitted.

There is an emergency accumulator, will give you 6 applications...which I believe it did....after that if ALL the fluid is gone there is nothing left! this was not a pump failure it was loss of fluid!
