Incident cu vaci fierbinti la bordul unui 747 Korean Air

Report: Korean B744 over Irish Sea on Jan 17th 2012, hot cows
A Korean Air Boeing 747-400, registration HL7601 performing freight flight KE-9560 from Chicago O'Hare,IL (USA) to Brussels (Belgium) with 390 cows travelling on the main deck, was enroute at FL340 over the Irish Sea when the crew received an aft main deck fire warning. A crew member left the cockpit to check the main deck and saw no signs of fire or smoke. Although the crew suspected the indication was false probably caused by the presence of the cows, they decided to carry out the relevant checklist procedures, donned their oxygen masks, initiated a controlled cabin depressurization and performed an emergency descent. The aircraft diverted to London Heathrow,EN (UK) for a safe landing, attending emergency services found no trace of fire or smoke.

The AAIB stated in their bulletin the crew believed "the presence of the cattle led to higher than normal levels of humidity and that this was the cause of the warning."

The bulletin did not state on the fate of the cows.

The airline reported none of the cows suffered from hypoxia during the emergency descent, all of them reached London in good condition.

umiditatea nu are nimic de-a face cu numarul mare de vaci...mai degraba sursa de fum (ca pana la urma asta fost si indicatia pilotilor) a provenit de la gazele emanate de balega a 390 de vaci!!


ati trecut vreodata pa langa un tir plin de vaci? iti pica nasul...si tirul ala e "aerisit" pe cand avionul e presurizat... va dati seama ce era acolo )

Intrebare, fara prea mare importanta, dar omu' e curios:

O vaca are in medie, sa zicem, 500kg (desi ajung pana la 1 tona). Ori 390 face 195 tone. Max payload la 747-400F e undeva pe la 113 tone.

Chiar si ca volum, prin comparatie cu varianta pentru pasageri, in care incap max 650 pax in full economy, nu imi dau seama cum pot intra 390 de vaci. Intra doar doua scaune de economy in spatiul ocupat de o vaca? Cifra 390 mi se pare exagerata...

nu specifica nicaieri ca erau vaci mature, poate doar vitei la 1-200 kg... cine stie...

ca volum incap... in Mai 1991 El Al a carat 1122 de persoane din Ethiopia in Israel cu un 747 (sursa cu poze: http://ejewishphilanthropy.com/operation-solomon-a-look-back-in-photos/ )

partea misto e ca a aterizat cu 1124 - doi bebelusi s-au nascut pe drum

S-a lasat cu inchisoare pentru aroganta/prostia fiicei presedintelui companiei care a intors aeronava pe JFK in episodul cunoscut drept “nut rage” .:beaver:
Atat "eroina" cat si cativa oficiali care au incercat sa-i acopere gestul au fost trimisi la "brutarie " .
