This has absolutely nothing to do with MX5s, but it is related to machines and transport.
It's an ATSB animation showing an incident that occurred at Tullamarine on the night of 20 March 2009. It was developed by downloading the data off the FDR. There's no sound.
The aircraft, an Airbus A340-541, registered A6-ERG and operating as Emirates EK407, with 18 crew and 257 passengers suffered a tailstrike and cleaned up a locator beacon when it ran out of runway.
The reason? Erroneous take-off performance parameters were entered into a laptop by the crew. Apparently someone typed "2" instead of "3".
Some typo!
The crew and passengers need buy no more lottery tickets. They've used up all their luck.
This shot (taken off the end of the runway) shows a locater beacon taken out by the aircraft.
This one shows marks left by the main wheels in the dirt also off the end of the runway.
That was close.
