I guess the airplane didn't like the water.

It’s official. I can now say that I’ve seen it all, when it comes to bizarre plane crashs.

I’ve seen a few crashes first hand, and been to the site of many. But never, have I seen anything like this.

Being Citation operators, we got a real kick out of this one.

Landing down wind was pretty stupid. But what happens next (and exactly how) is as the title reads: "You won't believe what happens".

Ok...... I've heard of gasoline engines "Dieseling" and running without spark plugs but a jet engine spooling up on its own? Someone call a priest, that thing is possessed!


Does it have some sort of electronically linked throttle and short caused it to throttle up?

It sure acted like it !!

It was dead. It didn't throttle up from idle. It restarted itself.

We’re figuring the crew had the Auto Relight System armed as they should.
The crew had probably pushed the power levers forward once they noticed they couldn’t stop on the runway. (But too late.)
The massive water ingestion on “slash down” flamed out the engines.
They left them at some power setting above idle when evacuating. (Full power on the one engine would have pushed it up the beach. Idle may not have moved it at all. Don't know of any boat tests with Citations, off hand.)
They didn’t kill the master power when evacuating.
The auto relight system (with electric starter assist) recognized the flame-out without engine shut down.
The #1 engine may have been too “flooded” to relight.
The #2 engine obviously wasn’t.

Personally – As bizarre as the circumstances are. We think it says a lot about Cessna aircraft and the design of the engine systems.

Citations Rule !! Even on their own !!

All the more reason not to fly...I'm phobic about it and every time I see a youtube video like this I just about lose it. I used to be just fine flying, but the past 10 years or so, just can't do it. I worked in a funeral home in the late 80's and one of the passengers from that Pan Am flight over Lockerbie Scotland came through, in a not-so-pretty condition, I think that planted the seed with me that some flights end violently and I'd prefer to not be on that flight.

Well….I guess you should stay away from flying then, if that’s how you feel.
I respect those who don’t like it. I don’t try to push it on anyone who is against it. Especially those with a true phobia.

In defense of flight, however. I will state that for every aircraft crash that seems to steer people away from it. There are a few thousand automobile crashes that for some reason or another, have little effect on steering people away from driving. Something I never really could understand.

i.e. Some automobile trips end violently as well.

Where was that?? American voices, but the plane and the setting look like somewhere in Europe.

Atlantic City-Bader Field, New Jersey.
Here's a bit more about it.

The “OY-“ registration of the aircraft is Denmark/Greenland/Faroe Islands.

My bad, now lets just pull it up on the beach and maybe no one will notice...

Good one.

I was so waiting for that plane to pull itself out of the water too

Dang, unless I am looking at the wrong airport on Mapquest, the nearest water is about 4000 ft off the end of the runway....

You must be looking at the wrong airport.
That place is (was, actually) all but on an island. It's surrounded by close water on three sides. Use the link on the site. It shows this pretty well.

BTW - It's closed now. Last I heard, I think there was talk of making the place a casino. Maybe a member up that way can shed some info on it.

[Palangi]

Yep, I was looking at Atlantic City International. I see Bader Field now...
