SW 737 takeoff Chicago aborted
A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700, registration N554WN performing ... when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed reporting "fire on number 2". ... Tower advised emergency services that it appeared engine #2 had failed, ...
NO injuries, some passenger video available showing white sparks/flame during takeoff roll http://nydn.us/1J5YnUO ? Typical poor reporting re ' leaving the ground " |
I listened to the ATC recording, and I was surprised by the calmness of the crew. The guy said "fire in number 2", as if he was ordering a sandwich at Subway.

That's the best way to send an emergerncy message.
Too many times ( particulary in the maritime enviroment ) The person in need of help shouts into the microphone in a state of panic. A cool clear message will get help far quicker than yelling and not giving vital info, such as, location, nature of the problem and what help is needed. coldair |
