What is the world coming to if a ATR 72 French turboprop can't make it off the ground?

Oh, no! The dogs are living with cats, the Sun raises in the West, ATR-72s are falling from the sky! It's the end of Civilization as we know it! Everyone start panicking and run around aimlessly, waving your arms in the air!

The wreckage is still smoking on the ground and you want to know the cause of an accident right this minute? Wait until the investigators go over the data first.

And no, rolling (not tipping) the plane to the left like you see on the video did not cause the crash and did not cause to it to "lose the fuel pressure on the good engine." By time you see the plane on the video the situation is already hopeless and the pilot appears to be trying to prevent the plane from crashing into buildings.

In less than a week the press will pick up on another "newsworthy" story, the dilettantes will go away, and leave the professionals to figure out what happened.

The aircraft made it off the ground just fine, it is what happened thereafter which needs investigation and that can be one or more of many factors.

It is not actually that unusual to reduce power on a good engine after a failure, it assists directional control at low speed, provided it does not degrade the climb to the extent that obstacle clearance becomes an issue.

It is also not unknown for pilots to accidentally shut down the wrong engine, it has happened several times before, the British Midlands 737 crash at Kegworth being an example.

But we do not know that either these things or anything else occurred, other than that the plane crashed.

When the report is released, that will be the time for informed comment.

First off, the ATR is a French-ITALIAN aircraft.

The plane made it off the ground fine. While the pilot radioed in that he had an engine failure, it's not yet clear why and also why that engine failure caused the resulting crash.

It can be pilot error, it can be bad maintenance, but we won't know until it's investigated.

As for crash occurrences in Asia, these things are infrequent enough to not make any direct statistical analysis about what you anecdotally see. In the US we go for years without any serious accident and at then we'll get a couple in a row. Doesn't mean things got safer or more dangerous in itself.

its dumb imbeciles like u who cause all of that. no, they fall every day azzhole what u forgot to mention is that all those planes are made by dumb idiots like u and then sold as a used POS again by dumb POS like u and passanger who end up dying are also as fokin stoopit as u are.
