Pilots Flew Northwest Jet 150 Miles Past Airport

It's a good thing they put that "Do not open" warning on the flight recorders. Apparently they had a problem with flight attendants breaking them open trying to find candy.

BinkieMcFartnuggets commented on 26 Oct 2009

That makes sense. It would be strange to just stumble upon a giant airplane crash site, though it must happen more than I think.

Way to go Delta--pilots who cant use the radio or land jets on the runway--great airline--DELTA--"dont ever leave the airport"

jasontman36 commented on 27 Oct 2009

The pilots were distracted when the flight attentant did not see the do not disturb sign hanging on the door.

These mofos should be arrested they could gotten all those people killed.

That's because, unlike cars, jet engines move forward by pushing against the air, which takes a lot more power. A car's engine transmits power to the wheels which push off of solid ground. It takes a lot less power to get moving that way and it results in faster acceleration at first. However, for distances more than a quarter mile, jet power will easily dominate over piston power. The afterburning turbojet engine on that semi is easily capable of breaking the sound barrier (761 mph)!

Top fuel cars are not faster. They just accelerate faster for the first few seconds because the engines send power to the wheels which push off of solid ground. The jet, however, is pushing against air to move forward, which takes a lot more power. There's a complicated, indirect way of estimating the hp of a jet engine and I can tell you that this jet engine is much more powerful than a dragster engine. An afterburning turbojet engine is easily capable of breaking the sound barrier.

jetblast7 commented on 22 Aug 2012

No piston engine has ever or will ever come close to the sound barrier due to the reciprocating nature of piston engines. Top fuel and formula 1 engines represent the limits of what's possible with piston power and they have to be rebuilt after virtually every race due to the enormous inertial forces and resulting stresses. They're on the brink of flying apart. Meanwhile, a jet engine can produce its enormous power for thousands of hours before needing an overhaul.

@C63AMGestate Horsepower is a measure of power, one HP is 746 watts. watts are the amount of work done in one second. Work is Force measured in newtons times distance is measured in meters. so if it take a jet engine 10 seconds to move a 12,000kg block 10m. you can accurately measure how much horsepower is being put out. I agree comparing a jet engine to a combustion engine is unfair, but it's entirely accurate.

ofsoundminds commented on 28 Jun 2012

the hp term for jets is misleading. power output on a jet doesnt work the same as a piston engine. so when a jet produces x amount of hp, its calculated based on thrust not tq. the slower the speed you are talking about the more advantage a piston engine has... the faster, then it goes to the jet...a 1/4 mile is right at the distance where these two concepts play with each other

tony gibson commented on 03 Jul 2012

how do you figure hp numbers when you arepowering a rotating assembly ending in wheels?? i could see 18,000lbs of thrust...top fuel cars are only 7-8,000hp and are WAY faster...18,000 hp couldnt be utilized in a vehicle this small

pestkilla14 commented on 20 Jun 2012

i would have ran when that big ass ball of fire came out of the ass of that thing lol. and when it kept banging the houses near the drag strip prolly thought they were shooting artilery guns off at the drag strip ahaha.

Robert Frapples commented on 12 Nov 2014

Do us all a favor and take your shitty camera and video skills and shove them up your inept ass! Stop polluting the net with video that looks like it was shot in the 1970's!

Dirk De Bont commented on 05 Jan 2013

Seems slow? Well considering thw wheels arent driven by a motor.... Its all thrust once its moving it will keep picking up speed its the initial start that is "slow"

GTELITE3 commented on 25 Mar 2011

haha i got there every year my friend is the one in the red at the beginning we rednecks here in Kentucky but oh well get used to it:) lol Clay City BOYS!!!!!

ThriftyCougar commented on 15 Jun 2011

@C63AMGestate this jet engines are measured in thrust and its impossible to translate cause thrust and hp are 2 completely different things

That's ridiculous, I have a video with twice as views as yours and it has better quality now than when I uploaded it 5 years ago.

I was pretty sure that the shockwave jet truck is the worlds fastest truck !!!. Evertime i go to the airshow i see it !!! :)

@cradlenazi Hey Genius...the video has so many views that Youtube degraded the quality because I would not show ads on it ;)

if you could only imagine that dick behind you honking their horn until you blast them with that fucking death ray of fire.

Makes for a pretty good hair dryer. After that hair drying, you never need to worry about haircutting costs again :)

looks like they might be wrong about it being the fastest! even though guiness world records proved it D:

60 yards maybe....if you were "less than 60 feet" from those flames your face would be melting off...

@0yasweet A while back i talked to the driver of "Rolling Thunder" and he told me that they had to rotate a toggle switch sideways for the telemetry system, because they discovered that the problem with it tripping off and not getting data, was the G-forces from launching actually causing the toggle handle to swing back, against the spring, and turning off the telemetry system, that is allot of G's, i can imagine it would 5 or 6 G's maybe more!

Misty is a beautiful women with a big strong husband, hes a sweet guy and very careing, his arms are the size of my legs, misty use to drive funny cars her hisband wanted her to drive jet cars because its less work on him and less money to operate, and the person at the bottom saying he fucked misty is a down right lieor, her husband could kill him with no problum, this is a weak minded person saying this shit, misty is a respectable lady,,!

ONEINAMILLIONPPL commented on 09 May 2011

Saw this while I was in Holiday down there, and damn. The longer dragster (in the far lane) created a shockwave from the force of acceleration. Also, the comment on burning a guy's hair is possible; I was in the 5th row on the far side to the camera and my eyebrows were smoking.

neeDazzle commented on 09 Jan 2012

@Ksharp1fan Humans grow up with interests, if its make up, cars, guns, fashion. ect If a guy wants to work with fashion then thats his thing if a women wants to drive a fast car, hell go for it.

greg0058 commented on 15 Nov 2010

Whats the difference between Top Jet dragsters and piston dragsters. Piston engines are faster,over a quater mile and loud but . Jet engines are hideously loud, and very l impressive.. .

Rachel Olin commented on 29 Jan 2011

These comments about there not being kitchens in the cars is pretty ridiculous....seeing as most of you "boys" would be brown tracking yourselves before they even fired it up.

projectdelta50 commented on 24 Nov 2012

pull up to a stop light and be like wanna race guys like sure then hears jet start up 2 seconds later light turns green and already 3 miles down the street

8s not only fuel cud make a car takeoff d ground.. 8s d wings that makes dem takeoff.. u can see that d jet s pointing a lilbit upward..

@Elchicoaleman ..they do at least 300 mph ..but the new top fuel cars do 300 mph with out jet engines

ive seen these kind of cars at pomona in florida goin 350. lol dont try to downgrade this at all.

@TheEpitomegameing we all know top fuel cars can fly. This is NOT a TOP FUEL THREAD...IS IT???

I assume there is an oven and a pantry in that car yes? Along with a male driver perhaps?
