DHL Boeing 757 runway excursion in Costa Rica: what we know
On Thursday morning, April 7th, a Boeing 757 was involved in an accident when flight D0 7216 operated by DHL departed from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) to Guatemala City (GUA), but had to return to the airport after reporting hydraulic problems. The aircraft is a Boeing 757-200F with

Can't see how much runway is left, but it sure looks like they locked up the brakes. Which of course would fit with a hydraulic failure.

Would have stopped fine if the person filming was in landscape. Portrait mode causes accidents, change my mind.

Yeah they ran out of frame, had to put it in a ditch. And all of this could have been avoided with the flick of a wrist. Should be a PSA.

"Aero Expreso" sounds like what I would name a Latin airline if I had to make up a satirical one on the spot.

A loss of left all fluid in the left system, including the reserve, would make nose wheel steering inop. Also, loss of left hydraulics would take out the left TR but not the right. Using only right TR with no nosewheel steering could cause a turn to the right. Hopefully you could control that with differential braking. Would blown tires on the right but not the left cause an aggressive veer to the right like that? It didn't in the sim....haha.

I'm with you, but incident has different meanings to different people. For example, in high school, the administrators used incident to refer to fights. The aircraft came to rest with the tail broken off, which is certainly more than $25k in damage as defined by NTSB 830. Since it didn't "crash", they have to call it something and "hydraulic system failure of unknown origin that resulted in possibly departing the runway" is just too wordy for headlines, but it beats the "technical fault" used in many places.

You can see the #2 reverser is deployed (#1 is stowed). And yeah, only some spoilers up.
As the aircraft leaves the runway you can see rudder deflection to counter the turn, but then is weathervaning by the time they're 90-degrees off; maybe because of hydraulics or because the pilat was getting jostled around.

It doesn’t matter what the NTSB calls it; it matters what the Civil Aviation Directorate of Costa Rica calls it,

The commentary in Espanol in the background reminds me of when I was a kid. My best buddy's mom would yell at us when we did stupid •. In Espanol of course.

Fine!

Boeing has announced the new B757 quick deploy folding tail mod.
