"Hello there viewers...Keiko here again...*I proceed to say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers as usual. To which I then proceed to bring my attention and eyesight back up again, in order to continue to address the viewers. I also now proceed to clear my throat, as I then proceed to continue, to properly address the viewers*...
Now then viewers, this chapter is going to be yet another non action filler type of chapter. So once again you have my permission to skip this chapter. And so viewers, with this in mind, let us move forward, and discuss three aviation type incidents...
And the reason why I say incidents rather then accidents, is due in a large part, to every single one of these instances, and that not a single one of the three featured in this chapter, resulted in any fatalities...
And viewers, we will start with the first one. Which to do this, we need to go all the way back to August 2nd, 2005...When Air France Flight 358...an Airbus A340-313E...Or an Airbus A 340-300 series aircraft, was conducting a flight, from Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris, France...To Toronto's Pearson International Airport in Mississauga Ontario, Canada...And at the time of the incident, Air France Flight 358 was carrying 297 passengers, 10 flight attendants, and 2 pilots, for a total of 309 passengers and crew...
And, though the aircraft did wind up overshooting Runway 34L at the airport...Which was due to a combination of a tail wind, landing during a somewhat torrential downpour and thunderstorm...and the first officer, who was flying flight 358 at the time, had applied reverse thrust to all four of flight 358s engines far too late...
Which resulted in flight 358 going through a perimeter fence at the end of the runway, down an embankment, and into a ditch...
But, despite the overshoot, and due in a large part to the flight attendants executing a very successful evacuation...which only took 90 seconds...and this, was a large reason as to why everyone on board survived the accident...with only 43 injuries to the people on board, 31 of which were minor, and the other 12 were serious...But the most important thing, was that they were all non life threatening injuries...
And now viewers, we will move onto the 2nd incident in this chapter...Which for this, we need to go a bit further back again...All the way back to June 8th of 1983 in fact...In which a Lockheed L-188 Electra...which at the time, was operating as Reeve Aleutian Airway Flight 8...and was carrying 10 passengers, 2 flight attendants, and 3 pilots...for a total of only 15 passengers and crew...and on the day of the incident, Flight 8...Call Sign 'Reeve 8'...was conducting a flight from Cold Bay Alaska, to Seattle Washington...And just at the flight passed through 19,000 feet, or Flight Level 190 for those who want the aviation termed specification...
Anyway, the crew then noted an unusual vibration in the aircraft, but they were unable to isolate the source...
And this prompted the flight engineer to leave the cockpit, in order to visually check the engines from the passenger cabin. The flight attendant also went into the cockpit to discuss the vibration, which suddenly increased in intensity as she went back into the cabin. And as she looked out the window, she saw the propeller on the outboard right hand No. 4 engine ,suddenly detach itself, and then fly towards and under the fuselage. Which wound up tearing a gash 8 feet long in the aircraft's belly. Which wound up depressurizing the cabin. And also, wound up jamming the flight and engine controls. And because they were still climbing, this meant that all three of Reeve 8's remaining engines and engine throttles, were jammed at full throttle. But thankfully, the crew were able to land safely. And none of the 15 passengers and crew sustained any injuries...
And now viewers, we will now move onto the final incident. And for this one, we need to go a little bit forward in time this time, all the way to December 27th of 1991...Which is when a Scandinavian Airlines MD-81...named Dana Viking...and was operating at the time as Scandinavian Airlines Flight 751...And for those who want the abbreviated form, Scandinavian Airlines is abbreviated as S-A-S...But anyway, at the time of the incident, Flight 751 was climbing out of Stockholm's Arlanda Airport...and was carrying 123 passengers, 2 pilots, and 4 flight attendants...
And less then two minutes after takeoff, sheets of clear ice, that had built up on Flight 751's wings, wound up breaking loose, and was sucked into the front ends of both of Flight 751's engines...and even though the captain did attempt to throttle back the engines, they remained at full power...Due to the aircraft's Automatic Thrust Recovery system, or ATR...Which because the engines remained at full power, this then led to the breakup and eventual failing of both of Flight 751's engines...or what is known as a double engine failure...
Which although rare, happens a whole lot more then you think...TACA Flight 110 immediately comes to mind, US Airways Flight 1549...the list does go on for a little bit...But, in all of these cases, everyone survived...
Which is why the crash of Flight 751 is known as The Miracle at Gottröra, and Air France Flight 358 is known as the Miracle in Toronto...
But viewers, this now marks the end of this non action filler chapter...But the good news viewers, is that we will be getting right back into the action in the next chapter...So viewers, from me, Zachary, Angel Bluebell, and the rest of The Four Aces Alliance, we look forward to seeing you all there...So viewers, see you all there, okay?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
