    Alaska Airlines MD-80 Tail Strike on Takeoff



    Taking off from BUR, circa 1994 according to the comments.
    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

    Is this a regular thing here? This one seems to be really close to striking too... or maybe it did and the sun prevented the visibility of the fireworks
