Citation Over-run in Brazil (video)

Embedded media from this media site is no longer available

Looks like a pretty hard hit to launch it back I to the air like that. Article says 1 minor injury and the other two people weren't injured at all.

(edit - I can't see the video here on my iPad but it looks like the forum automatically put media tags on th liveleak link and it looks right so I will assume it works for you)

Dang! You got shocks, pegs... lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?

 

[HVYMETALDRVR]

That was my first thought too... lucky to have just one injury that's a hard impact.

DAYUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Autothrust Blue]

OUCH.

 

[PositionAndHold]

Holy Hell!!

If they didn't clear that retaining wall it would've ended waaaaaay worse. At least for whoever was up front.

That Citation got ups yo!

 

[troopernflight]

I'll say that I'm impressed that the fuselage stayed intact after that! They must have severely screwed up that approach to still be going that fast on an over-run.

How do you get one minor injury out of that? Looked very rough.

I was wondering the same thing. With an impact like that, some injuries may not show up for some time.

Holy spinal compression, batman. That was one helluva launch. How does one botch a landing THAT badly? Based on how fast he launched over that berm, it seems like he would still have been going fast enough in the last 1000' of runway that he could have firewalled it and nursed it back into the air again.

I'm pretty shocked at the injuries. You'd think there would be a few seriously messed up spinal cords, at the very least.

Any landing that you can walk away is a good landing incluiding this short field landing.............

Well............ Any landing that costs you your job...........

Wow, so white planes can jump...

That's exaclty what I was thinking!! Only three people on board, might not have weighed too much,,

Like going over a waterfall in a barrell.

The reporter did say they were using Congonhas's smaller runway. Just looking it up on Wiki shows it at 4,700ft. Even in a Citation that doesn't leave a ton of room for error.

We put a 560 down in KXSA, 4300 ft, on a regular basis. It's still not too bad as long as you are stable and on speed. Fast, heavy, and light head wind makes it interesting though.

Whats the landing distance for a Citation?
