Otto, please check in.

Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you. | |||

I believe that he is on an overseas route. I hope that hasn't changed. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

I am an Atlas employee as well. Otto was not involved. There has not been a peep from the company yet. Tailwinds to my friends. ____________________________ 220/229/228/226/P6/225/XO/SP2022/239 | |||

All three dead. https://start.att.net/news/rea...s_three_de-rnewsweek Boeing 767 Jet Crashes In Southeast Texas, Three Dead News Now Newsweek A Boeing 767 cargo jetliner reportedly operated by Amazon Air crashed in Trinity Bay in Southeast Texas on Saturday afternoon, killing all three passengers aboard the flight. Owned by Atlas Air Inc., Flight 3591 took off from Miami, Florida and was supposed to land at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport. It crashed shortly before 1 p.m. local time in the nearby town of Anahuac, about 30 miles outside of its destination. The FAA said in a statement that the National Transportation Safety Board would be investigating the crash. "FAA investigators are on their way to the accident site and the National Transportation Safety Board has been notified," the statement read. The agency had issued an alert after losing contact with the pilot. Footage from local news station WFAA showed rescue helicopters with the U.S. Coast Guard overhead Trinity Bay, surveying the wreckage. Records obtained by the news station indicate the plane was operated by Amazon Air and had made at least one successful trip in the last 24 hours, from Hawaii to California. It was not immediately clear what caused the plane to crash or what it was type of cargo it was carrying. According to the company website, Atlas Air has a fleet of 747s, 777s, 767s, and 737s and is used for shipping perishables, heavy construction equipment and also "arranging passenger charters." Amazon Air operates 30 aircrafts in its fleet, according to WFAA. Q | |||

Thank God you're ok. There is a video on the link I posted that shows the debris field. No way did anyone survive from the looks of it. Such a shame. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

You can follow along on this thread. Unfortunately some speculation already. https://www.airlinepilotforums...nt-down-houston.html I have spoken or heard back from all the guys I know on the 767 fleet. Tailwinds "Freedom is a light for which many men have died in darkness." | |||

Read there was heavy rain and it went nose in according to witnesses. Wind shear/Micro burst? RIP to the crew "The flight had departed from Miami and was bound for George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas when it nosedived and plunged into the bay, which is just about five feet deep and is mostly mud marsh. It made a steep descent from 6,525 feet to 3,025 feet in 30 seconds, according to tracking data from FlightAware.com" "Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living. But, sure as God's got sandals, it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails." "We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled." | |||
