This is an incredible story whereby a unique sequence of events enabled a young woman to survive an air crash from 33000+ feet,
This is 20 minutes, stewardess survived falling 33,000+ feet, or it may have been 2600 feet

October 15, 2025 3:14 PM PDTSuch a story! I didn't know anything about this Concorde crash. I was sorry to hear they wouldn't let her resume her hostess position but at least she was able to stay in the aviation field doing desk work.

Videos unrelated, the stewardess survival was not the result of the Concorde crash. The Concorde crash was apparently some debris on the runway thrown up when the aircraft was accelerating for take off, it got airborne but the debris damaged something to do with the fuel and caused it to crash within moments.
October 20, 2025 4:00 PM PDTOhhh....that's a pretty quick crash if you're barely off the ground.
DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth Airport) has had their own crashes. One of the worst ones occurred years ago where a Delta plane got caught in a microburst. The driver on the highway was decapitated as the plane flew low over Hwy 114 on its descending crash. Highway 114 is the main highway on the north side of DFW Airport. Hwy 183 is on the south side of the airport.

Think I saw that, wasn't some other driver's webcam footage shown on the video?
Didn't realise a car driver was killed.
December 21, 2025 3:50 PM PSTThere is possibly other webcam coverage. It was such a shocking crash. Highway 114 is north of the entrance to the DFW airport. It's a huge, tangled chain of connecting highways at the airport both at the north and south entrances. The aircraft was in its descension at the north of the airport when the Delta plane clipped the highway and driver.
There has been an uptick in aircraft crashes this year. This crash is super sad as Greg Biffle and his family with pilots/crew just died in a private plane crash the other day.

December 22, 2025 4:08 PM PSTWasn't aware of Gregg Biffle but understand he was big in NASCAR.
Any death is a tragedy but understand his family was killed too.
December 24, 2025 3:01 PM PSTYes, such a tragedy for the whole family. One of the reasons if my family ever travels (it's been a long time), we will travel separately.

Yes, think many families or organisations do similar. One wonders with aircraft, most private planes have just the one engine, we put a lot of faith in technology which mostly is justified but occasionally reality dawns.
These two engined commercial jets, very reliable but if one fails only one left, apparently aircraft can fly comfortably on just one but four engines seem safer.
A few years back there was a British Airways 747 flying from US to UK. Lost one engine by US East coast, was ordered back by US ATC but carried on to UK. Bit of a furore over it as they were ordered back to US but they broke no rules so all settled. A 747 flying on three engines seemingly made no difference to flight and saved dumping fuel to land back in US

December 29, 2025 3:56 PM PSTInteresting story, Geffers. I'm not sure how I'd feel as a passenger flying that whole way knowing one engine failed. I'm glad to hear there wasn't any incidents and everyone was safe and a good landing.
Good point on having more than one engine. I've only flown in a small airplane with one engine once when I was a child. I had all the aww of the experience, however, when you're a child you don't think of the dangers. Also, good point in us "having faith in a lot of technology" and that's exactly where my imagination fails me as I think of all of the things that could go wrong.
