Damn VASA you are fast
Was fast but at the expense of numerous spelling errors
@Chip Photography that’s okay, they can make more.
@othername1000 yeah but it looks tacky. Speed over everything else? No thanks. That said VASA usually does well but there were numerous- not a good look
vasa is quicker than an aeronautical orgasm
@01261988733 hahahahaha

@R R So a Book deal and Movie with Tom hanks as main actor?
@R R They did their jobs and saved their own lives as well. They deserve to keep working and living. If that’s not enough credit, they should learn humility.
@D Roberts Wishful thinking for Tom though

One of the reasons for the recommended threefold “mayday, mayday, mayday” is to reduce the odds of another pilot keying up and blocking the frequency. Great job by all involved from the looks of it. Glad that the airplane landed safely.
Have seen some towers will do this by prefacing the callsign of the aircraft with Mayday.
Example “Mayday 320 proceed to….”
@That’s Life This is recommended communication strategy for every mayday, yes. But the rules also say that you should “communicate in a manner that best adresses the emergency without regard for other rules”, so it’s kinda up to ATC and the pilot what they wanna do.
Next thing we know, VASAviation will be posting videos BEFORE the emergency happens.

Is this channel run by Trump?
Livestreams? *Gasp
Minority Report. 😁
I’m no expert, but it looks like the front fell off.
@USAFWPNS 42 Yep
@Oncampus2k Unclear what you even mean by this?
@Michael Davidson Not this one though.
Some pieces on the ground look completly rusted and repaired with filler. If so its an absolute botched repair on that engine. Hope thats not the case but it looks like it.
@worldsendace I’m sure they will get to the bottom of things in due time. Too high profile.
Holy hell that’s a engine failure on steroids right there. I was expecting just a lost cowling or something, but then you showed the onboard video.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, if the passengers on the right side of the aircraft would just like to close their window blinds, you’ll thank me for it later”
@machintelligence I saw a video of a guy get hit by lightning twice, so it’s not a sure thing. I wonder if anyone “important” was on that flight?
@AaronShenghao who knew Einstein
AirForceProud95 action….
@Legalize Shemp damn straight…
Funny but not real. They would have you open the Windows. The reason is because they want your eyes to be adjusted to outdoor light which helps with you evacuating if needed. Once landed, it allows emergency ground service to peak in side the airplane and assess the situation and see if any passengers that need help.
Also being over water is better than being over land. Remember the Miracle of the Hudson. Sully had both engines fail during take off. He famously landed in the Hudson to avoid hitting the building in Manhattan. Planes can float its a much softer landing than if you were emergency land on land and not an airport.
Pilots train for engine failures. It’s part of their Job description.
I live in Hawaii so flying is the only way to get to neighbor islands and it’s a 5 hour 30 minute to 6 hour flight to west coast. I have flown from Hawaii to Japan and back 3 times. Flight time 9 hours 30 minutes to 10 hours. Nothing but ocean in between.
Dude every time you are so fast, it’s like you’re listening to aircraft communications 24/7. Do you even sleep?
ATC is like those “overnight guys” manning scanners to head to fire calls and police/emt incidents…..rush with the satellite trucks!!!!
*Sshhh, he is the FAA actually*
Who is dude?
@burt2481 more importantly, how is dude?
@srinitaaigaura Haha, underrated comment!^^
There’s debris all over Broomfield, CO … almost the entire outer casing of the engine blew off.
@lisalu910 Near 136th and Sheridan. Actually about 2 miles from where I work and close to some of my friends’ houses. No one injured but some property damage.
@lisalu910 Who cares who you visited?
@burt2481 Clearly you do, or you wouldn’t have bothered to reply!
@lisalu910 I am amazed about those who think the last time they pooped is important to everyone else.
The cowling landed near a friends house. They’ve got a picture of it leaning on tree and a truck.
Thank goodness the person with the window seat was camera-proficient!
you guys just wait for my town’s newspaper…..this probably will be front page news BUT, the publisher is so DAMN cheap that they won’t even pay “freelancer rate” for an exclusive “special to the **”…front page pays $100 depending, but they will be so stingy that they will publish the shot……however, give it a ” courtesy of **” which means, the original owner who took the shot…..wont get paid JACK!!!!! tight MFs!!!!
Like taking his or her phone out and hit record? 😂
@Wayne96819 I think the wait would be shorter if you gave the name of the city or paper.
Yes! So many freakin’ morons hold their phone wrong when filming. People, for the Love of Pete, turn your phones 90 degrees when recording video. It’s the difference between a killer shot and total crap.
@Maraud Ostrogoth depends what it’s going to be used for.
that ATC guy was sharp. whatever you need, we’ll make it happen.
@sam s several bad ATC’s make the standard very low these days. Lol
Normally ATC is in charge and pilots must obey. But when a pilot declares an emergency, then the roles flip. The pilot becomes in charge and ATC does what the pilot needs or asks for. So this ATC guy was simply following protocol.
@J. Alexander Curtis – J.- I follow what you are saying, but it done with much more professionalism and tact. ATC knows what they must do to assist, any request by the pilot is acted upon, again to assist. Yes, the pilot, has the last say as to what he will do, and those decisions are his to make. When the poop hits the fan, there is a often a bonding with the two entities.
@Darryl R. Wow! Just found what you’re referring to. Painful to listen to. For those interested: https://youtu.be/0ma0JzO43Ig
The ATC guy probably watches this channel 😀
This is an incredible example of training and professionalism. The pilots and ATC did their jobs calmly and without panic. You cannot hear any sort of excitability in their voices. They went about their job with incredible grace and professionalism. Great job.
@Sanjaya Kumar very well. UA normally fly ETOPS 180. These planes are certified up to ETOPS 240. UA had a diversion 2003 over Pacific flying on one engine for over 3hrs. I’m inline with
@Judd _S what is the first thing you do when you have inflight Engine FIRE on any airplane??? Airbus, Boeing or turboprop???
@iatsd Indeed, most of these morons are the ones that are quick to use the “hero” label!!!
@clay bomb and the autopilot
Actually this engine failure ended up being worse to people on the ground than to the pilots and passengers. Sure the engine sight looks gross, but they still had one fully functioning engine and that’s enough, even so that they ran some checklists prior to land instead of coming hot to the nearest runway available. Summing up, for trained personnel, it was not a reason for panic at all.
Excellent Victor! report inbound JB
Wait, whats the vector, Victor?
Can you explain why,with ongoing fire, he did not go for immediate landing nearest runway.
Would so much love to see a collaboration of some sorts from you guys.
I’ll check the clearance clarance

*checks twitter* “plane parts falling from the sky”
Vasaviation – already has ATC audio, transcribed, superimposed map, edited, uploaded
Agree. Fast, saw ABC news with only ground pics and VASavia has in plane pics and ATC…. Fantastic news reporting
ikr? impressive flying and impressive posting. The video of the engine on fire, I don’t know how they held their hands steady.
He’s just that good
@Thuan Le I’m not even in the airline industry and this guys my hero.
I think VASA is now THE forefront of Aviation news. 🙂
I feel like whenever there’s an accident, aviation enthusiasts come rushing to this channel like those reporters who rush into the phone bank knocking it over in the movie Airplane!
PROSPERITY
BONANZA
THERE’s a visual!!! 😂😂😂
Let’s take some pictures!
“Let’s get some pictures!”
Coworker: did you hear about the plane that…
Me:(opens VAS)
Kudos to everyone involved, getting this aircraft back on the ground safely.
Literally got this up before the NTSB team could even fully mobilize, that is impressive speed.
You can definitely hear the adrenaline rushing through the pilot doing the mayday call. Either way, they acted very professionally. Kudos to them.
I landed in Denver about 15 minutes before UA 328 today. We heard that a bunch of runways were closed dud to an emergency inbound. Cant believe it was this! What a fantastic job by the crew.
Incredible professionalism. Hats off.
One day I will come here and find VASAviation is posting emergencies from 2025, before they even happened
