Whatever, when the pilot followed ATC instructions it resulted in the plane forced landing in the field north of DF/W, bounced then hit a car on highway 114 killing the driver. Good call.

I find it passing strange that this is the same type of car that the Wikipedia page you linked to states the on-ground casualty was driving when he was killed....

It has been so long I really don't remember the exact model Toyota I had. I do remember it as a 'beater' car.

I can tell you one thing; when you roll up on a crash scene of a Lockheed L1011, roll down your windows and hear DEAD SILENCE, you will never forget it. It is one very large airplane; the debris field was quite large.

The fact that ground based non-pilots push large amounts of tin filled with thousands of passengers everyday seems to be lost on this audience......:eek:

OH horse chit. You know every car you ever drove and owned. You just got busted in yet another blatant lie.

I will bet pennies to dollars that in the after math of a L1011 accident the last thing you will hear is silence.

And again if you ever were in a plane, around a plane, saw a plane or had anything to do with a plane in your entire life you would know that this is beyond idiotic. Alas, you have never had any aviation experience so you say stupid things with authority hoping that people will think you know what you are talking about.

Thank goodness it is you and not I that is flying around in aircraft being directed and guided by ground based non-pilots.

Good luck.

I cannot believe I fell for your trolling. I should know that no one can be this stupid.

HuskyMan 02-28-2018 11:01 AM
It's ok, the airlines need customers to stay in business. It finally hit me that ATCs aren't pilots and yet they are pushing a lot of TIN around the sky!

tbomachines 02-28-2018 12:02 PM
It would do you well to actually understand what pilots and ATCs do before making statements and threads like these. Since you already said you don't care, I doubt reality will make an appearance in your thought process.

Not picking a bone in this argument, but I find it funny that Huskyman wrote that. I looked into being an air traffic controller and have a friend who does it for a career.

In the flying world, pilots and air traffic controllers have an odd and slightly hilarious contempt for one another. Almost like a married couple.

The training, of course, is top notch. Definitely no doubt about that. Many pilots become air traffic controllers, but it's rarer to have air traffic controllers become pilots.

I also have 2 close friends who are career ATCs, which is why it struck me as such a dumb thing to say. They echo what you said about the relationship.

Delta 191 went down in the late afternoon around 6 p.m. Not late at night. You're remembering wrong.

There was a powerful thunderstorm at the time of the crash, it might as well have been night. The rescue crews worked for hours, we heard it on the radio around 10:00 PM at night. I drove straight to the crash site, saw the bright lights and rescue workers. the scene was quiet as a mouse.


First and only plane crash I've witnessed up close. hope to never see or live through another....

It was NOT at night when the plane crashed. It was broad daylight. It might as well have not crashed at night. Because it didn't.

the rescue/clean up crews worked most of the night and into the next day. I drove by the crash sight around 10:30 PM at night. Bright lights, eerily silent. For some reason DF/W becomes the center of violent storm cells quite often. Maybe they built the airport on indian burial grounds??

Funny enough, you can STILL drive by the water tower on highway 114 and see the dent the wing made. One would think the airport would MOVE the water tower somewhere else. I've had discussions with pilots about it, they tell me that NORMALLY planes are not blown off course therefore it is of no concern. I reply, yes, but THIS plane WAS blown off course directly into the path of the water tower. OUCH!!
