FUCKKKK i had to go pick up a package near the airport tonight too :fuuuuu:

Or that he held on to the last minute to save the passengers. The nose end was never designed to take a high impact as there's no point during a crash. MIA usually means GG.

this.

people cant drive for shit in richmond :troll:

i thought Langely was one of where you announce intentions and line up???

Whats the over under on traffic clearing up by around 7ish? I need to know if I should head out an hour early to make an important event.

Hows the clean up now?

Thunderbird 204's first contact with YVR tower is at 7:30. He must've declared his situation earlier on a different frequency. He declines emergency services at this time.

At 9:00 he is cleared to land.

I'm assuming that the noise heard at the 11:00 mark is from the impact.

At the 11:20 mark, another plane is told that the runway is closed for the time being.

At 12:30 all taxis for departure are halted, emergency on the field is made public.

just went past knight and marine again, traffic was starting to back up along marine all the way to superstore

Russ Baker's gonna be closed for a while, screwing up all traffic heading in and out of Richmond... So you better head out early!

That picture of the passengers getting out of the plane is incredible. Everytime I hear of a plane crash I assume everyone is immediately dead. I take that road everyday for work, going to be interesting to see it tomorrow if it's open.

Heros.

:fuckyea:

do u think russ baker way will be cleared by tonight??? Desperately need to pick up a package before the weekend since UPS isnt open.... lame

Shit sorry this PLANE CRASH/CLEANUP is delaying your package :suspicious:

well shit yah i feel bad and all about the plane crash that injured some civilians, but that doesnt mean i immediately drop and ignore all urgencies due to an accident :suspicious:

just wonder if this is gonna create problems for the airport

Hellz yeah. 26R was shut down for a good while and that probably made a good amount of congestion.

I thought that crash was at the end of 26L?
It wasn't officially shut down either, nothing was issued...

On the other hand...

NOBODY HAS LOST THEIR LIFE AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT - INCLUDING THE FLIGHT CREW
Though in critical condition, there is always hope of full recovery!

anyway, I'm not sure, just guessing that because it was so close to the end of the runway there would be some interruption of it being used..

Glad I didn't have to go to class today, I'm at BCIT right across the street, woulda sucked trying to navigate through there.


edit, it seems it was actually closed for some time- 4:11 p.m.: Controller declares an aircraft has "pulled short" and "the runway is closed for the time being."

110861 CYVR VANCOUVER INTL
CYVR RWY 08L/26R CLSD
1110280500 TIL 1110281300

26R is closed until 6am. There's nothing stopping 26L from being used... the accident was off the field.

ok now im just confused :confused:

I haven't read NOTAMs in a while but...
dosen't that say it's closed this morning (28/Oct) 5AM to 1PM?

Rip pilot
