I'm surprised they didn't find a witness who saw flames coming from the aircraft prior to it stopping on the runway... TC

It's okay, I guess you stood in a corner and thought about what you said. I am sure you learned your lesson and it won't happen again.:beer:

Lets see...

OMG A crew probably did exactly what they were supposed to do and the media butchered it and some how airplanes are unsafe!!

What does the airliners.net crowd have to say about this?

 

[Occam's Razor]

One of the NWA pilots who brought the airplane home said the engine crumped "near V1"...with parts scattered on the runway. The RTO blew the fuse plugs on one side. Crew and pax all handled the event well.

Unfortunately, the FDX MD-10 right behind them flipped-over and burned. Our guy says, "Thank God we're studs, and they're not!"

I keed!

here is the deal, someone, in a car driving in their car near the airport saw the smoke, they knew someone who knew a pilot. The called them, they confirmed that smoke was bad coming from an engine(that person once knew an airbus rep from the factory). So anyways, that pilot, once shared a crash pad with a NWA pilot, so they called him, that pilot contacted the company and they sent a message that they should abort the takeoff. so, thats how it happened.......in case you are not figuring it out, i am kidding........
