    Wow. Where was that?
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    07 JUN 2006 Boeing 747 runway overrun at Medellin
    Tradewinds International Airlines' Boeing 747-200F N922FT was damaged after sustaining an engine failure on takeoff from Rionegro/Medellín-José María Córdova Airport (MDE/SKRG). Takeoff was aborted but the airplane overran the wet runway and came to rest 150 m past the runway end. MDE has a single 3500 m long runway. The airport was closed from 07:05 to 09:40. (El Tiempo)

    Amazing video and fortunate nobody was hurt, I think? Got to ask yourself why is someone recording vehicles entering/exiting a security point at MDE? Maybe they'll leave a few of those kilo's on the ramp next time...LOL
