AA blows tires at Brussels

A lot of problems for this 767 of American. The plane made an emergency stop during take-off after the pilot noticed that he forgot to close his cockpit window. Almost all the tyres were replaced so that he could leave Brussels the day after.

Look also at the newly painted Sabena truck in the background.

Man, and all that just because the pilot wanted to breath the fresh air of Brussels.

P.S. The sabena truck in the background could be sold as an oldtimer I think

I had the same problem André, but then I clicked on the source button (in EBOS's text) and I saw the picture.

I can see this picture but not the ones for CS-TMT thread.

Confused - I am!

There does appear to be some pic problems on the site, perhaps in the way that they are uploaded.

Can Bart or one of the othe moderators post dertials of how best to show pics?

Don't they use before start checklists at AA??
"Windows and doors?"... "Closed!"

Apparently not (saving costs)

I think they do a checklist about closing windows/doors but I think that it fell open during the powerfull take-off
