A horrible incident happened yesterday 08/05/2020 in Austin, Texas, USA. A Boeing 737-700 from Southwest airlines reported that they had seen, and possibly hit, a person on the runway. The airport sent out a medic vehicle who found a deceased male person on the runway.
The involved aircraft received damaged to the left hand engine-nacelle but there were no further injuries to passengers and crew.
In this video I want to explain a bit about the options we, the pilots, have in order to avoid runway collisions and obstacles.
My thoughts goes out to the involved person, crew and the friends and family of the deceased.

An Airbus A380 suffers a catastrophic uncontained engine failure on one of its 4 RollsRoyce engines. This sets off a chain of events that could have easily cascaded into a full blown catastrophe if it wasn't for the cool, professional and knowledgable handling by the 5 pilots and 24 cabin-crew onboard. This is a masterclass in CRM and how things should be handled when sudden technical failures appears on the flightdeck. This is the story of Qantas flight 32 and all the little details that you need to know without the dramatic music of air-crash investigations.
I really hope this format I am trying in explaining famous air incidents from a pilots point of view. Please let me know in the comments below about what other incidents you would like me to cover.

On the 19th of July 1989 a United Airlines DC10 suffered a catastrophic engine failure to its tail mounted engine (eng nr2). The engine failure managed to damage all three hydraulic systems on the aircraft rendering completely without normal flight controls. What followed after that is one of the biggest miracles in modern aviation as the 3 person cockpit crew, with the help of a training captain flying as a passenger, managed to get the aircraft down to Sioux City airport. There was still considerable loss of life but 185 persons were saved by the skill, CRM and nerves of the flight and cabin-crew onboard.
In this episode I will tell the tale based on my background as a pilot and what I think is important to point out.
As always I would love to hear your thoughts about the video and if you have any questions.
