Incredible Tu-134 runway over run caught on video!!
Not sure if this was posted already but here's a link to the vid and article. 20 people on board, all survived. This is a prime example of the dangers of aborting after V1, in this case they actually rotated than aborted. I wasn't there so can't pass judgement, just glad everyone survived!!
Video: Russian navy Tupolev Tu-134 crashes after late aborted take-off
By Justin Wastnage
Remarkably, nobody was killed when the crew of this Russian navy Tupolev Tu-134 tried to abort their take-off following a possible bird-strike at the Gvardeyskoye naval air base in the Ukraine.
The 10 July accident clearly demonstrates the fact that a take-off aborted above V1 decision speed is virtually certain to end in an overrun.
The aircraft, operated on behalf of the Russian Black Sea Fleet Aviation unit Aviatsiya Voyenno-Morskoyo Flota was taking off from the 3,000m (10,000ft) runway on the base near the Ukrainian city of Simferopol on 10 July when the number one engine failed and caught fire. Three navy officers, of a reported 20 on board, were injured.

Two observations:
The tree in the video early in the takeoff run would seem to indicate a tailwind.
The left-hand engine starts streaming white vapour as the airplane passes abeam the camera.
Why the airplane never rotated more than part-way to a lift-off attitude might be another question.

Looks to me like the bastard blew up real good.
I'm glad everyone was ok.

That is some scary shit.
As for the high speed reject, all I can say is that I've spent some time watching those Russian birds taking off out of Moscow, and even on two engines they pretty much climb like a loaded 748 in hot weather. The primary design spec for the engines on everything Russian is to efficiently convert fuel to noise--thrust is an incidental by product of the operation.
Even the smaller stuff like the TU-134 is like that, so I wouldn't be surprised if a single engine takeoff is almost as scary as being a test pilot and risking the after V1 reject! Then there is the fact that Russian pilots and their training programs are shall we say "different". Almost every time a new company buys western aircraft some poor training centre goes through hell trying to teach basic flying skills and cockpit management with these guys. Lots of the rich guys buying private jets (western ones) these days REFUSE to have Russians in the cockpit no matter who they are. I have worked with companies who have that policy and I talked to a demo pilot in Moscow who was having a bad time finding a corporate job for that very reason.

I thought you guys did that to induce drag?? I don't know just askinFour1oh wrote:Yeah, I was thinking it might have been a case of a single-engine airplane, lose one, and you aren't going flying. It did look like they tried to get airborne, but it wouldn't lift off so then they rejected. Why else would they keep the nose up so long?
