Surprised this doesn't exist yet. Starting this off on a concerning note, it appears Lufthansa Flight 418 just squawked 7700 before dumping fuel over Coll Airport (either a medical emergency or a mechanical issue that prevented them crossing the Atlantic safely); I'm not sure where it's going. Dublin is the expected diversion airport but it's approaching Glasgow/Edinburgh and isn't lined up for any particular approach.

Appears to be descending into GLA.

I know there was an incident last weekend where several people were killed at Miami International Airport when a cargo plane overshot the runway.

I did see that; based off what we have so far it was going way over speed while on final and the brakes did not properly work until it was already too far down and it ran over a bunch of cars on 67th Avenue before stopping in a parking lot. Very tragic. Not sure why it didn't perform a go-around but I'm sure we will get details about that soon enough.

It's been 25 years since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the worst aviation incidents in recorded history.

An NBC Los Angeles helicopter has crashed while on live TV covering a traffic accident.

Has anyone been to the new International Airport in Gulf Shores? With the instability with the aviation industry, it might be easier just to drive to the Alabama Coast, especially from Huntsville and Nashville, which both have non-stop flights to Gulf Shores.

Yeah, do not listen to the ATC recording. It's extremely distressing. Sounds like the aircraft entered a thunderstorm and encountered icing, leading to a severe loss of control.

Just a heads up for anyone who think they might link the recording here....don't. The post will get deleted.

Thanks.

That is a very sad situation and turn of events. I am trying to find the VIL data from when they flew through that storm.

Anybody know what’s going on

 

[KakashiHatake2000]

Multiple sources confirming this

 

[KakashiHatake2000]

Sorry if I went with a over abundance with listing sources

 

[akt1985]

I read the ground stop was due to a communication outage with the FAA

Ah okay thanks akt1985
