AeroMexico Connect flight 2431


July 31, 2018, AeroMexico connect flight 2431 is departing for Mexico City from Durango Mexico. There are a total of 103 passengers and 4 crew. The flight is commanded by captain Carlos-Galvan-Meyran along with first officer Daniel-Dardon-Chavez and flight engineer Jose-Ramon-Vazquez. The plane is an Embraer 190AR.

The plane fueled up, but it got delayed because the co-pilot had spotted a fuel leak in Engine number 1, then he called the maintenance crew to fix it. After they were done fixing the leak the plane taxied to the runway. As the plane was taxing to the runway it started to rain. Then when the plane took off from the runway it started to stall then it started losing altitude and slammed into the runway. The two-engines broke of, and the plane skidded of the runway and into a grassy field. Soon the back of the plane burst into flames. As the people panicked the flight crew opened the emergency doors and passengers began to jump out. Meanwhile the control tower contacted the fire department and the ambulances and fire trucks arrived. Astonishingly all 103 passengers and 4 crew members survived the crash.

Then investigations started a day after the crash and the cause was a microburst. A microburst is like a storm but when you fly into it, the air pushes the airplane down causing it to crash. In this event the plane lifted off in heavy rain and in a storm, and that's why the plane slammed into the runway.

In conclusion aircrafts should not fly into microbursts because that can lead the plane into a crash.

    Well written, Kritarth. I learnt a new thing "microburst" today through your blog. Can you tell us more about microbursts and how to identify these so that the pilots do not make the mistake of flying into microbursts.

A road trip to remember

Image
This is my story of my family's first road trip in US we planned in just 2 days, covering 4 National Parks and 5 states where we will be travelling a total distance of 2200 miles in 8 days. Our trip to India we had planned all summer was cancelled at the very last moment, due to some visa issues. All our bags were packed and the mood in the house was gloomy to put it mildly. My father was planning to go extreme on the road trip. His idea of the road trip was to travel the breadth of America from West to East, starting from Seattle in Washington to Boston in  Massachusetts. To put it into perspective that would mean a distance of 3,045 miles one way and then back. That would be just 6 days one way drive even if we drove like 500 miles per day with my younger brother who is just 4 years old. Thankfully some sense got into him, and we decided to abandon the plan. So, what actually ended up happening was a more planned trip, where we covered 250 miles per day and enjoyed the ...

My Trip To Seaside

Image
It was the summer break, and no summer is complete without a trip to the beach. It was pretty last minute, but we managed to book a lovely Hotel room with a view of the sea, and this is the story of my trip. Hope you enjoy reading this. It was a nice sunny morning on August 2, and I was super excited to go to Seaside!!!, So we packed our bags and had some breakfast and left for our first stop  The Astoria Column . It was a total 3 hours drive. As we were crossing through SeaTac my brother and I saw four Alaska Airlines and two Deltas as well as a Southwest . The Deltas were a a330 neo and a 737 and the Southwest and Alaska planes were just 737s. After a few hours later we entered Oregon through this super cool and long bridge, and I saw some long container ships.                                                             ...

A Visit to Palm springs

Image
It was early in the morning, and I woke up to the sound of my mom's footsteps going to the kitchen. I tried to go back to sleep but I just couldn't because I was too excited to go to Palm Springs, California. We had already packed our bags the night before and our uncle was coming to drop us off to the airport, where we will be meeting our friends and fly together. It was the middle of December and departures were all backed up, like the Wall Street had just closed for the trading day.  After 40 minutes we arrived a SeaTac international airport and I hugged my uncle, and we went into the Alaska airlines section. The SeaTac airport is spread in an area of 2500 acres and has 3 runways. The airport entered service in 1949 and is owned by port of Seattle.  There we checked in for our flight and we waited for our other friend's family to come. Once they arrived, they checked in and we all went to security check and then we went on a tram to the N gates, our gate was n11. Once ...
