Unbroken (2014) Crash Landing Scene

[JackOfAllTrades.YouTube]

Any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing, any landing where you can use the aircraft the next day is a fantastic landing...

Old joke: pilot must land on really short runway in jungle, full flaps at stall speed he barely clears trees, touches down with the brakes already on, and skreeches to a stop just as his nose touches jungle foliage.
He says “man that was a short runway!”
The copilot says “yeah, but did you see how wide it was?”

My first encounter with a B-24 was hiking in Scotland, near Badachro in the NW Highlands. The Fairy Lochans.
A crew had completed their service and were flying home. Having departed Prestwick they encountered low cloud and grazed a mountain-top.
They tried to make an emergency landing in what looked like smooth ground, but was actually very rough and rocky.
All killed instantly.
Thank you for your service.

My father flew B-17s in WWII and after that kept and flew a Piper Cherokee for much of the rest of his life. His old saying was "Any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing." That was the voice of experience as he was able to land a B-17 that was on fire all the way to the ground. Everyone walked away. Very few serious injuries. The best generation.

An uncle of mine was killed in 1944 along with the entire B24 crew save one.. when the pilot screwed up and stalled out with landing gear down and flaps up. One momentary lapse of attention and 9 boys went to their graves…

The B-24J bomber was headed for the China Theater of Operations. They left Cairo the morning of June 15, 1944. Rather than landing at Habbaniyah, Iraq and overnighting, the pilot opted to fly on to Abadan. The crash occured during darkness later that night, in a sandstorm, one mile west of the airfield. The investigation charged the accident to 50% pilot error, 50% weather and flying conditions. Landing gear was down and flaps were up at the time of the crash, indicating cockpit confusion.There was one survivor out of a crew of ten. The crash area is known today as the MINUS ISLAND, and is primarily still date orchards as it was in June of 1944.

The deceased crewmen were buried temporarily near the airfield runway.

Final Resting Places of The Crew:

Dhalma Lurry 2LT, Pilot (Buried at North Africa American Cemetery and Memorial, Carthage, Tunisia).

William Boyce 2LT, Co-pilot. Same burial place as above.

Leslie Murphy 2LT, Bombardier. Same burial place.

Clifford Owens Sgt, Gunner. Same burial place.

Joseph DeClark F/O, Navigator. (Buried Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City, CA)

Wade Starrett CPL, Gunner. (Buried Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, OH)

William Ruppel Sgt, Gunner. (Died in hospital the following day). (Buried Custer National Cemetery, Crow Agency, MT)

Jewel Foss Cpl, Gunner (Buried Hartland Cemetery, Hartland, MN)

Robert Guelde S/SGT, Gunner/Flight Engineer. (Buried New Albany National Cemetery, Indiana)

Richard Seaman S/SGT, Radioman ' Sole Survivor

I was a part of a group of students that rebuilt the bomb bay doors on a B-24 that was being restored. We had to build the jigs plus everything else from pictures because there were no plans available. That's an amazing airplane....one of my favorites. The DC-3, better known as the "Vomit Comet", is my first favorite.

I'm really surprised that the landing gear didn't even collapse not even after slamming into the rocks at the end of the runway

My father in law flew as a tail gunner in a B-24D (PB4Y-1) in the Pacific in a Navy bombardment squadron. Only difference was no jungle at all, just flat coral Islands.

Your plane will repair in :29..28...27..

One of my grandpas friends were in the airforce. He was only of the belly (lower gunners) and the landing gears were stuck; and he just happened to be stuck in the gun, so he had to die terribly in order for the others to live. Very sad things man.

One of these days, Hollywood will realize that airplanes don't act like sci-fi rockets. They simply don't move that fast/quickly. The interior shots were spot-on but the CGI of the exterior landing looked like something out of a cartoon!

[tomasteran]

I guess you could say the aircraft was moreover... unbroken..

В 70 е работал судовым радистом.
Сразу бросились в глаза знакомые наушники. 1:23
У меня тогда такие были.
Радиостанция мне досталась интересная: авиационный бортовой ламповый радиопередатчик
Р-807. Мог работать в паре с радиоприёмником УС-9, таким образом образуя бортовую радиостанцию дальней связи.

Радиопередатчик р-807 был скопирован с американского передатчика AN/ART-13 фирмы Collins, который устанавливался на борту бомбардировщиков Boeing B-29 Superfortress. Как известно, в ОКБ А.Н. Туполева, B-29 был скопирован и в дальнейшем строился в СССР под индексом Ту-4.
Задумка-то была хорошая, но исполнение – хреновое.
Там была предусмотрена автоматическая настройка на фиксированные частоты. Возможно, в американских передатчиках эта система и работала, но в наших она безбожно глючила.
Работы по созданию сложного передатчика требовали освоения деталей и узлов повышенной точности и чистоты поверхности, разработки новой технологии по применению новых материалов (нержавеющей стали, бериллиевой бронзы, магнито-диэлектриков, покрытий проводов и т.п.), новые типы керамических конденсаторов, новые типы резисторов, вакуумные переключатели, провода с новым видом изоляции и многое другое.
А вот этого наша промышленность не смогла сделать и спустя десятилетия, поэтому в передатчике работала только основная часть, а треть передатчика можно было просто выбросить, без ущерба для основной его функции.
А радиоприёмник УС-9 - копия американского радиоприёмника "BC-348N, устанавливавшегося на летающих лодках "Каталина").

At the end everything went better than i expect.

Как называется фильм(российское название)? Очень хотелось посмотреть.

Watching this reminds me of just how many men were terrified of those ball turrets on the B17 Bomber's. They were scared because most believed that the ball turret was the worst spot to be in! In fact the turret was the best place to be! The turret was built a lot tougher than the plane itself, and all though a lot of enemy fighter pilots would often try to shoot the turret out. Most would often fail at this. The ball turret was a very hard target to hit even if your are in a fighter that can maneuver way better than the flying fortress's and Lancaster's Course they aren't designed to do flips and barrel rolls lol. The bombers size and designed was mainly bombing missions and being just that! A flying fortress, not to mention all the bombs these bad boys carried.. Anyways most would argue the same thing I mentioned. That the ball turret is the best place to be, just tight and uncomfortable, not to mention hard to hit targets unless you were really really good! I go on these facts by many books and research I've done, but most important the actually surviving crew that flew on these things that told me just that! The worst place would be side gunners, the bombardiers and tail gunners, pretty much in that order.. Side and bombing station in the front were the worst of all.. Other than that, I have always loved and favored these planes, always wanted to buy one, restore it but also kinda turn it into a flying RV! Make all those yacht owners eat their hearts out!
