I tried to keep a low profile while fueling. The line guy told me not to worry. The FAA was just checking out a Coast Guard jet that landed half way down the runway and ended up down the hill. I'll bet the officers on board were not impressed.          Charles Pickett - Sep 04,2006   Viewers  | Reply     Not good to land long on a short runway          Mark Alan MacKinnon - Sep 04,2006   Viewers  | Reply     Which airport in Maine, Dan?          Dan Nickens - Sep 07,2006   Viewers  | Reply     It was the Berlin airport, Mark.          Kenneth Leonard - Sep 03,2006   Viewers  | Reply     Charlie - amazing that it blew out a fireball after everyone was out and then one engine goes to max power and doesn't suck water in with the intake only inches from the water. I wouldn't have believed it if it wasn't on tape.          Chet Tims - Sep 04,2006   Viewers  | Reply     What in blue blazes could cause that engine to throttle up on its own like that ?          Charles Pickett - Sep 04,2006   Viewers  | Reply     The only thing I could think of is salt water shorting out the computers          Frank Noordhuis - Sep 06,2006   Viewers  | Reply     I'll 2nd that, it sure looks like it started it's self up. Could this be a case of FADEC with a mind of it's own after shorting out, very scary stuff.          Kenneth Leonard - Sep 05,2006   Viewers  | Reply     How about a TOGA switch? 'Take Off / Go Around' <br />If he hit the TOGA switch as he was crashing and then the engine was trying to spit out the water for a minute while they unloaded the plane... Or it could just be that when everything shorts out, it defaults to full power.          Gord Dykeman - Sep 07,2006   Viewers  | Reply     Nah, you re all wrong. It was the blow up co-pilot like the one in 'Airplane!'.
