This video is too funny. Just listen to the stuff the videographer is saying, it's hilarious! I love this guy!

"Once in a lifetime this thing happens"...

I think the true "once in a life time" event in this video was the voice of Apu and the appearance of Dawg the bounty hunter!

WICKED

Wow...that's the kind of stuff you'd expect between a -172 and a Chrokee at Boundary Bay, not with two 747s!

"Oh my gord!" Too funny.

Have a read through some of the comments of the first video.

Now that's funny.

Not having watched the video my parents where on a CP 747-200 that rejected at quite a high speed, and I would say that it is a once i a life time event. They had ingested some FOD on the roll and frapped out and engine. Apparently they stopped right at the end of the runway too.

That's ALMOST as good as that footage some kid took from the back of a rejecting 767 in Osaka. "Little did we know... we were on the road to hell..."

I missed the comments first time around. There are some doozies there but this one is my favorite:

"Would have been Tenerife all over again...wow!!

What a tool! This is what happens when people watch programs like Mayday and become experts.

I hate Maho beach...too much redneck american trailer trash and european airline spotters in thongs...plus it smells like garbage from the Sunset beach bar garbage bins.

Anyway, this video is by far the most spectacular landing I've seen in SXM.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAfQwDiz ... ed&search=

The 747 landed right on the edge of the pre-threshold (chevrons) and displaced threshold...still about 200 feet from the start of the actual threshold. This picture show the exact moment it touched down.

The skid marks are still visible on the runway and are by far the earliest skid marks on the runway. I wouldn't dream of landing my DHC-6 that short!

And another one:

Oh man, thanks for posting that, Edelweiss... I hadn't been able to find it on my own!

"I will never recover from the after-effects of this flight."

And I will never recover from the stomach cramps I'm getting from laughing so hard!!

Ha ha...that rejected t/o video was too funny..

"could of been a 'bird-alert'..."

What the @#$! is a bird alert? Ha ha...that guy's an idiot!

We'll not too much though...although i'm intrigued by the "almost logged as much as hours as a certified pilot" comment...umm, I don't think you can log it as a passenger buddy...
