ERJ-135 brakes fail, aquaplane off runway . . .

A South African ERJ-135 of SA Airlink ZS-SJW - was substantially damaged when it hydroplaned off the end of a runway in Cape Town today.

Only minor injuries were reported, however the Captain was trapped for an hour before they were able to release him.



There’s another one. Seriously, we need to open a school in Africa showing pilot’s how to get their jets stopped.

Or at least put holes in the cockpit floor so they can stop the aircraft the Flintsone way.

Or, maybe they can carry along an anchor to toss out the window once the wheels touch down…

Is that Barney’s car? Not sure I remember that one. Fred’s car had a roof.

It did but I couldn’t find a picture of that car with the feet showing.
