Fox News showing live footage. Does not look too bad. Reporting 500 PAX, sounds a bit high.

I saw that plane over my house just before the outer marker while I was cooking juicy burgers. Everything normal; plane that is.
It's a plane hard to miss due to it's size and noise. Landed at 148 kts gnd speed (flightaware) Pics at: Air France plane skidoff the runway? - Page 3 - YULAviation MONTREAL - An Air France Boeing 747 arriving from Paris skidded off the runway at Montreal's Trudeau International airport after it landed Tuesday afternoon. "The plane overshot the runway when it landed and got stuck in the grass," said Laurent Gingras of Montreal police. "There were no injuries." Video of the airplane shows no signs of major damage. Emergency vehicles surrounded the jumbo jet at the airport as crews worked around the aircraft, which was stuck in the grass beside the runway. Some 500 passengers were on the large-bodied plane, and were being taken off the plane by emergency services. The airport remains open and television footage showed planes continuing to take off and land. © Canwest News Service 2008 . |

Friends,
here comes something completely off topic. I enjoy reading Pprune, not only for the discussions, but also for the humor in many of the comments. Earlier today this thread deviated into the difficulty with different languages at airports, totally irrelevant for the topic, as was commented by a number of posts: One stating that the thread was of topic with the focus on language, and his wifes theory of what happened probably was the best so far, namely that he was turning to avoid a cat:) This was followed by a post saying: Maybe it was a 'chat':ugh::):) This more or less made my day, and I was digging in to pprune now to see what the follow up's of this would be. Of course the mod's were right to remove the of topic posts, but I would have liked the continuation of this. Safe flying FH |
but I would have liked the continuation of this |

Anyone here a tire burning expert.
Maybe #4 engine reverse was stuck at full rev thrust and / or #1 stuck at high forward thrust ? Also, looks like left-port side brakes were braking less than right side, and the nose wheel may have temporarily been stuck massively pointing right. As if left brakes failed or the right brakes locked up. Surprised we don`t see anti-skid pulses in the markings, maybe it failed. Also note the nose wheel tracks are not identical, the port one is wider than the right-starboard. . |
Wide-angle lens effect I think alph2z.
Trompe l'oeuil as they say. |
That's no wide angle effect I'm afraid.

Also note the nose wheel tracks are not identical, the port one is wider than the right-starboard. |
