Delta jet rolls off taxiway in Atlanta

(AP) ATLANTA - Cranes are moving a jet that rolled off a taxiway and was significantly damaged at the world's busiest airport in Atlanta.

Delta Air Lines spokesman Eric Torbenson says mechanics were testing the engines of the Boeing 737 when there was a problem with the braking system around 5 a.m. Tuesday.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen says no passengers were aboard. There were two maintenance workers on the plane but no one was hurt.

Video aired by WSB-TV showed the tilted jet on an embankment.

Delta spokesman Anthony Black says the jet is going to be taken to a maintenance facility for a full structural investigation.

The USAF does engine run ups on C-5 aircraft all the time. One of the most powerful GE aircraft engines in the world. These trained engineers and mechanics are not union they are military. I have participated in these tests and that engine could blow a bus off the tarmac 1000 feet away.

I bet that's really expensive...just watch, pay toilets of Delta flights coming soon!!!!!!

[AZH1]

It was Bush's fault.

[ProgressNow]

In 2004, the Bush Admin ordered the FFA to curtail break inspections on Delta flights in and out of Atlanta. FACT!!!!!!

A point that should be made. How many noticed that the jet had a backward flag on it?
The "backward flag", the toem under which the military depredations of the New World Order are carried out, absolving them of all legitimate litigation for depravity, has emblazoned infantry and National Guard uniforms from Afghanistan to Iraq to even the United States for a decade now. Quislings for the New World Order insist that it is only meant to be "a nod to" the tradition of flag bearers to march into battle, with the flag trailing backwards, so it was a suggestion of the military advancing. But you do not change the officially designed insignia of a nation just to suggest imagery! If you need, use the three dimensional depiction flaying backward, but not the flat, defined symbol of the nation! "The" flag is the signature of America; represented backwards, it's like a signature written backwards.
More than that, though, the bhackward flag has been displayed in many ways ostensibly not in keeping with a representation on a uniform. Such as Bush holding the Amewrican flag backwards to the world during the 2008 Olympics. Or the flag from the World Trade Center carried backward in tribute at the 2012 Winter Olympics. Or the flag being backward on the space shuttle, which is not supposed to be a military venture. Or backward flags appearing on poilice cars and police uniforms, fire engines and fire fighter uniforms. Or Richard Branson's SpaceShipOne, which was supposed to be a civilian, not military, operation. Or on all United States supposedly civilian commerical airline flights that cross international borders. Perhaps the position of the backward flag shows where on each plane the Global Hawk remote control, which could have been used to fly the planes into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, is located so it can be shot out of commission if others seek to use it.

A characteristic answer by a New World Order quisling. "Those with a lot of money or big political power say that's the way it should be and that makes it right!" They may have passed laws in recent days to "validate" this, but that doesn't make it right! That doesn't mean it's not being done for a subversive craven purpose. Just bevcause those with money and power order you to do something doesn't mean it's right! But, then, New World Order quislings aggressively push the idea of doing things because you're told and not because they are ethical, since the New World Order isn't ethical. That is considered to be a low form of thinking, but the New World Order shills don't mind. Honor and ethics mean nothing to them, only siding with ruthless money and craven power. And, like so many NWO quiuslings, routan1 makes sure to include mockery and vulgarity.

Since they were first acknowledged in 1997, the program of contaminating the atmosphere with chemicals to facilitate weather control, what has come to be called "chemtrails", has overseen immenbse changes in the planet's atmosphere. The vapor trails, which, unlike normal contrails, don't dissipate, but remain \for hours, stretching from horizon to horizon, have coincided with, among other things, tornadoes coccurring where they were never known before, like Brooklyn; unprecedented hundred degree heat waves from London to Siberia; the strongest spate of hurricane seasons on record; the single largest year-to-year drop in Arctic sea ice coverage; the National Weathe Service having to recalculate wind chill to reflect the fact that the air carries more heat energy than it used to; the disappearance of bees; the arrival of formerly unlknown hundred mile per hour straight line wind storms called "super derechos"; the Northwest Passage being open for the first time in recorded history; and the development of the first new cloud species to be reconized in more than half a century, the undulatus aspiratus.
Among the most significant and egregious results, though, has been that the air is apparently becoming less and less capable of supporting conventional aircraft. It began about six or seven years ago, as spates of about three weeks or so when plane craqshes were daily or every other day events, separated by spans of a few months. Since then, the spates have gotten longer and the separations shorter. Now, it appears, patches of denatured atmsophere can always be found everywhere around the globe. Commercial airlines yhave gone to enormous lengths to avoid having planes encounter those regions. "Accidents", "malfunctions" and "incidents" on the tarmac in record numbers are used to keep planes from flying into such abnormal air. "Cancellations" and "delays" are at unprecedented levrels. And "accidents", "malkfunctions" and "incidents" in the air are used to "divert" planes around these contaminated regions of atmosphere. Never before did a pilot refuse to take off because two men aboard were wearing "imam garb"; never before did a plane return to the terminal because a young man aboard was wearing baggy jeans that showed his underwear; never before did a pilot suddenly decide that she could take off until a part she knew was damaged had to be repaired. This slipping of the jet off the runway seems just another "excuse" to avoid flying into denatured atmosphere. If they have to have a jet "overshoot its destination" because pilots aboard were "preoccupied" in something else, in order to avoid unnatural patches of atmosphere, the airlines will do it.
If this is allowed to continue, soon, only the corporate rich, the politically powerful and the military and ;olice will be allowed to fly, in the non-aerodynamic tirangular or diamond shaped drones that are being reported seen.

...and you have entered the Twilight Zone...

Delta lost an airbus the same way. The parking brake system was not designed to hold the aircraft at full engine power. Delta aircraft mechanics are not Union. Unions usually insure training. Could be the Delta mechanics need a good Union.

[thechooch1]

rightbehind similar to the Airbus 380 in Paris. They were doing a full throttle engine run. The takeoff warning system was giving them a warning horn because the computer thought the aircraft was ready for takeoff at that power setting and the flaps weren't set. So in order to "fool" the system and make it think they were airborne, the mechanics pulled a circuit breaker. That CB also controlled the parking break, releasing it. That accident caused million and millions. Those fools were also not Union and not trained properly.

I did this same thing one time when I forgot to set the emergency brake on my car. Next time use a checklist and set your emergency brake.

[rightbehind]

Delta does not have Union aircraft mechanics. That's the second time this has happened. Perhaps they need one so they get much needed training.

[KansasCity-2012]

Second time? That is an attention getter.

[KansasCity-2012]

My heart goes to those aircraft mechanics. I too, have experienced an aircraft suddenly go out of control on the ground while testing an engine. It is the most terrifying feeling to know someone might die (co-workers you know) before the aircraft finally stops.

It could take months to work that experience out and feel comfortable again.

They're done.
