Thai Airways - Emergency Landing in Vietnam
Thai Airways Aircraft - reported as an Airbus - made an emergency landing in Da Nang, Vietnam, today at around 0530 UTC. Overheard the crew state that a cockpit windshield was cracked.
Crew was relatively calm, but the Approach Controller (ATC) was panic stricken! Only two aircraft in his area, and he tried to turn both of them into each other! The other aircraft's pilot (Foreign) - Vietnam Airlines -stated that he had the Thai Aircraft insight and would maintain visual separation. ATC insisted that he turn TOWARDS and UNDER the rapidly descending Thai Aircraft. Vietnam Air pilot refused - smart boy! Film at 11... |
that's different...be good to have liveatc on over there :)

Agreed. But, this was U N B E L I E V A B L E. ATC issued the same altitudes to both aircraft, and turned the VN aircraft towards the Thai - and insisted that they "..follow ATC instruction...". Apparently, the ATC until was "Training" and the radar was U/S.
The Thai Airplace didn't seem to notice (albiet they were busy with their "emergency"). Fortunate that the other pilot seemed to know what was going on, or things could have become a triffle disasterous. Anyhow.... Agreed :ugh: |

:hmm:
Is this your interpretation of the situation or are you using a source?! If you are using a source then name it, if it is your interpretation then state to what extent and what level of certainty you have presented the facts correctly. If you can't do any of these then take the first 'P' out of the name of this forum to describe the status you have here. :rolleyes: |
Sounds if somebody else is getting excited.

Fox3,
He said in the first post the source was 'the crew'.:zzz: |

Overhearing the windshield cracked is one thing, what about all of the other dribble....and of course the crew will tell you they were calm :hmm: |
