This Month's Adventures in Boeing > Quiet month, 737 Aborted high-speed take-off at YVR; 3 other incidents involving Boeing 777s in USA

 

Last month, March, the Boeing astronauts were rescued from a week-long stay on a space station that lasted for 9 months because of a faulty Boeing rocket. The rescue was facilitated by Elon Musk's SpaceX program, although he received no credit from mainstream media whatsoever. 

Had the media been appropriately appreciative, it might have prevented the burning of a few Teslas, but it seems the media would rather watch Teslas burn than drive the streets. All the while, they pretend to be frantic about climate change.


April's adventures started in Vancouver with an unexplained aborting of a take-off while at high speed of a 737. 


WestJet flight aborts takeoff at high speed at Vancouver’s International Airport


A runway at Vancouver International Airport was closed for almost five hours on Monday after a WestJet flight aborted its takeoff at high speed.

The flight, a Boeing 737, operating as Flight 118, was bound for Calgary at the time.

Fire crews were seen spraying down the hot brakes as the aircraft was immobilized on YVR’s north runway.

The aircraft was eventually towed away.

WestJet confirmed that no one was hurt. Passengers were taken back to the terminal by bus.

That flight was cancelled and the runway re-opened late on Monday night.
