    I wonder what those people were thinking, not the pilot. The one hanging on to the fence are just asking for trouble

      Yeah and then they try to make a law suit against the airport.

        Amazing those blow dryers on the A340 actually had enough thrust to even move the sand.

          Well, the A340 isnt grossly overpowered like some other jumbos, i like that. I mean sure you can say it isnt as safe. But the 340 can fly on two engines. The 744 cant do that....

              its amazing how fast you forget that you're talkin about sand ....
              is it the same sand were ta'lkin about ....? even a slight breeze can blow off sand, what did you think ???


              by the way cool video.. i would love be the one who experienced that "Air" blow ..

                  His love for Airbus Quads . And on the video, if the wind alone can blow up the sand, even an A340 should be able to do that .

                    Because i read an Article about that BA Pilot who did LAX-LHR with three engines. The article stated that the 744 is too heavy to run with two engines and he would have had to divert or return to LAX with only two.

                    Now what proves to me that the A340 can fly with two engines? There was a Virgin Atlantic A340 that continued on to AMS instead of diverting immeadiatly which would have cost VS more money and the passengers a large hastle. they didnt HAVE to land, they did for safety. Besides you hate Quads...Mr. Twin.

                      ...rather difficult to divert or return to origin when you can't fly, don't ya think?

                      Psssst... hey, hey you, com'ere... I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, promise not to tell??

                      A 747 (and for that matter, a DC10) can, and has, maintained stable flight on only 1 engine while heavily loaded. But don't let that UA-F9 fella know... his bowel reaction might be unsavory

                        Yea right
                        If the under powered A343 can do it i am sure the higher powered 744 can manage.
                        Remember the BA 744 did the trans atlantic on 3 engines!!!!!!
                        and also Air Canada's A343's have issues climbing out of DEL and have to make a few circles there
                        The best way to solve this is to check the technical specs and the thrust to weight ratio

                              It clearly showed them holding on the fence tightly. The A340 might not have that much power.
