    Video: Hope Your Plane Doesn't Catch Fire in France

    This was an RTO certification run of some sort of an A346. It failed. And so did the firemen.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Now that is Intense!!!!!!!!!!! FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!! The tire explosions are amazing. That is why you always no matter what approach an airplanes landing gear after any form of motion has been undertaken from the forward or aft position because when an aircraft tire explodes it explodes out the sides. Generally no angle is totally safe but that is the safest method. Those are tricky fires to put out as well. They generally have to burn till the temp drops to really low levels .
