Adam! has, I think, Onur air emergency landing into Manchester after 3 go arounds at Humberside.
Anyway, I thought Singapore airlines B744 was going to crash into the sea, because we were on approach into Sydney Intl and the aproach turned elft over the sea onto short finals and I swear the wingtip was really close to the sea. :P
been in quite a few car crashes
nothing major tho
*cough* Read thread title *cough*Quote:

My plane went funny when we landed on that new surface that they laid in Bristol Airport. We landed and went from side to side on our seats so we must have skidded, bounced or something like that anyway
nah, but i've bounced from side to side when we landed at stansted
It wasnt really an emergancy landing but when we landed it was only on one wheel and the other wheel didnt open so we had to take off again circle then land.
However my dad was in a storm so had an emergancy landing.
I've had major turbulences in the air and that was frightening. :P
na i ain't, wee bit of turbulance but that's it.
only turbulance. i hope nothing worse than that in the future though.
Hit an air pocket. Suspected damage Emergency landing in switzerland.
Medical emergency, some lady collapsed onboard. Landed at gatwick.
Few lightning stirkes..
Nothing major though
haha, the last time I flew with easyjet, when we were coming into land, I heard a huge thud come from the back of the plane, everyone looked around and was like "ooooo".
I have no idea what it was lol, we got down on the ground nicely, I doubt nothing major happened although it didn't come from inside the cabin.
oh, and last week, I flew with grand canyon airlines, over the grand canyon (obviously..),
the pilot was wrestling with the controls for the whole flight, and we were everywhere.
VERY scary, lol.
That;s classed an an Emergency Landing, JetBlue did an amazing one where the front wheel got twisted.Quote:

and on american airlines we had to stop for a suspected bomb in the baggage :l
i never been in a planeeeeeee
No way man, woah!
Anyway, we had to make an emergency landing because someone had been knocked unconcious by takeoff, pretty sure they hadn't had their seatbelt on.
But other than that just some strong turbulence.
er i was landing in orlando airport in middle of quite a bad llightning storm so the turbalance was really bad cos we was like in middle of it for 5 mins, and lightning strikes were like outside the plane window, it would of made a good photo but i didn't think at the time cos of all the people on the plane screaming lol
With Turkish Airlines your plane couldn't have been holding enough fuel for an extra 2h in the air, usually planes can carry their approx flight time + 1 hourQuote:

Did you just say you Lol'd at your Mum and Sister dieing?
No i laughed because they both were on separate planes yet they both happened to be the planes that the terrorist hijackers were on.Quote:

whats Turbulance ?
When I landed in Perth, Australia - We landed on one side of the back wheels first and kinda shudded us across the runway a bit .. was well cool :8
they can hold much more than that. Infact, they probably did fuel at the departure irport for the return leg as well.Quote:

only ever had some turbulance i quite enjoyed it lol:)
Not an emergency, but was flying into Sydney, and **** Cheney was flying out on Air Force 2. I think his plane had technical difficulties though, and rather than taxiing off the runway, the fixed it there and then. We had to go into holding pattern for an extra half an hour. I swear everyone on board my flight was cursing as we saw his flight take off as we came into land!
American Vice President would obviously take priority though :P! And I've only ever been in some mild turbulence.Quote:

not awrong. Too much flare and little speed.Quote:

you are Right Soph, they carry some more in case they put in to an en-route hold or at the airport in a stack which not many people understand what talking about but few will :DQuote:
