This Boeing 747 couldn’t STOP!? Qantas 001
🕑 Added 2022-09-11 01:23:26 +0000 UTCA Qantas Airways Boeing 747 is on final approach to Bangkok’s Don Mueang International airport in Thailand. The airport is being battered by thunderstorms, and just ahead of the plane, another 747 has aborted its approach at the last minute. The 391 passengers and 19 crew are eager to get down on the ground. On this dark September night, however, as the plane nears the runway, things start to go wrong fast. What follows is not a story about mechanical failure, nor is it even a story about the weather, really. The story of Qantas flight 1 is a human story - a story about how quickly things can go wrong, once a few very human mistakes are made. It’s also a story about how even following the rules can sometimes put lives in danger.
