Title: a clairvoyant pilot (in Dutch only)
Post by: Whuts_goingon on May 24, 2012, 12:55:15 PM
Ha, I found this video on youtube, sorry for the English readers, but this is in Dutch only!

The story goes like this, the airplane (737-800) had a problem with the nosewheel, the screw jack failed, this was in Egypt, they send the people back to a hotel and had a screw jack coming in by truck, which took 12 hours (!!!!!!!!!!!)

You know Egypt? Well 12 hours is outrageous to me...
The passengers where delayed for a total of 46 hours (!!!!)

Well the pilot was explaining this over the intercom, I can't see if it was the first attendants intercom or from the cockpit, but anyway he noticed he was being filmed and asked to stop filming as he was not amused by it.... As you can see in the video, it was pretty far backwards and mostly below the seatbacks, so hard to see I guess... is he clairvoyant ? ? ?
