727? Ser mer ut som en DC-10 det der da... ""

 

 

BTW, fant litt info om denne flighten...

 

On February 28, 1984, SAS Flight 901, DC-10, LN-RKB departed Stockholm for a flight to New York JFK. The aircraft touched down 1440m past the runway 4R threshold. The crew steered the plane to the right side off the runway to avoid approach lights. The DC-10 ended up in shallow water. All onboard the plane were uninjured.

Scandinavian Airlines Flight 901 -- McDonnell Douglas DC10-30 -- John F Kennedy International Airport --- February 28th 1984

On February 28, 1984, an SAS DC10 was a regularly scheduled international passenger flight from Stockholm, Sweden to New York City. Following an approach to runway 4 right at JFK Airport, the aeroplane touched down about 4,700 ft beyond the threshold of the 8,400 ft runway and could not be stopped on the runway. The aeroplane was steered to the right to avoid the approach light pier at the departure end of the runway and came to rest in Thurston Basin, a tidal waterway located about 600 ft from the departure end of the runway 4 right. The 163 passengers and 14 crew members evacuated the aeroplane safely, but a few received minor injuries. The nose and lower forward fuselage sections, wing engines, flaps and leading edge devices were substantially damaged at impact.

 

The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probably cause of the accident was the flightcrew's a) disregard for the prescribed procedures for monitoring and controlling of airspeed during the final stages of the approach, b) decision to continue the landing rather than to execute a missed approach, and c) overreliance on the autothrottle speed control system which had a history of recent

Fant litt informasjon fra nettet.

 

The aircraft overran runway 22R at New York's Kennedy Airport after the crew landed with insufficient runway remaining to stop the aircraft.

 

Etter det jeg kan se, er det snakk om en DC-10-30.

Den husker jeg det ble skrevet om her hjemme også, fordi det var en norsk kjendis ombord. Finner ikke noe på norsk, men et utdrag fra en på engelsk:

 

IT'S A FIDDLE, NOT A PADDLE

 

Source: UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL

A violinist on the Scandinavian airliner that plunged off a Kennedy Airport runway ignored pleas from fellow passengers to use his $300,000 violin as a paddle for their inflatable life raft. Instead, Arve Tellefsen, 47, energetically helped with both hands to paddle the rubber raft to shore in Thurston Basin, a marshy creek off the end of the runway. "It was in this thing that they wanted me to use it as a paddle," Tellefsen said Wednesday.

 

En til, fra New York Times:

Guarnerius Rescued

 

Among the passengers on the plane

 

that skidded off a runway into a basin at Kennedy International Airport on Tuesday was the Norwegian violinist Arve Tellefsen. On his knees was his fiddle, a Guarneri del Jes u of 1739 known as the Lord Amherst.

 

Mr. Tellefsen bought it 12 years ago for $70,000. Today it is probably worth 10 times as much. He will be using it to play the Shostakovich Violin Concerto in Avery Fisher Hall next Monday evening.

 

When the plane went into the water, Mr. Tellefsen grabbed the Guarnerius, held it aloft, and soon found himself 50 yards from shore on a float that had no oars. Somebody suggested he use the violin case as a paddle. He was not amused.

 

On the same plane was the Norwegian pianist Kjell Baekkelund, also scheduled to appear in the concert Monday. Mr. Baekkelund said he was luckier than Mr. Tellefsen. He did not have to deplane with his instrument.

Takk for svar. Beklager feil. Jeg søkte nemlig på google etter en Fedex 727, også kom det ett bilde av den. Jeg merket den, siden det var sas, og ble nyskjerrig.
