What: Aero Contractors Boeing 737-500 en route from Port Harcourt to Lagos
Where: Nigeria
When: Oct 24 2010
Who: 84 passengers, 15 injuries
Why: Passengers were complaining of pressure problems resulting in ear pain. Passengers reportedly “ran amuck” in the cabin when they saw smoke, apparently resulting in injury.
Officially, ten minutes before arrival in Lagos, a smoke problem in the cabin was reported to ATC. The crew reported the smoke, and made a safe landing at Murtala Muhammed International Airport with emergency on standby at 6:30 pm. Passengers evacuated, resulting in fifteen injuries. Passenger’s luggage was not released until 8:30 pm
According to maintenance, the smoke problem was mist and condensation from the air conditioning which had been switched to manual.
What: Colgan Airlines/ Continental Q400 Bombardier turbo-prop en route from Newark to Buffalo
Where: Buffalo International Airport
When: May 12 6 pm
Who: 73 on board
Why: On landing, part of the wheel assembly disengaged. A passenger video shows the tire assembly coming to pieces on landing. One tire of the two-tire assembly comes off; the remaining tire sustains the landing.
George’s Point of View
Notably, the wheel assembly had been recently serviced, but whether or not the problem lies with Colgan maintenance or the established fact that the tire assembly on the Q400 Bombardier is well renowned for problems is as yet undetermined. At the end of the tape above, take a look at the shot of the 2007 Denmark incident where the Q400 Bombardier’s right landing gear collapsed. There were 8 such landing gear failures in the Q400 Bombardier in 2007 alone.
