Flight 670 Incident Analysis

The video discusses the mysterious crash of Atlantic Airways flight 670 at Stewart Airport. While another identical plane landed safely shortly before, flight 670 crashed under similar conditions. Pilot Sven Eric Strandberg reported the runway was only slightly damp, contradicting the theory of a wet runway causing the crash. Investigators found new leads from firefighters who observed unusual light trails from the plane's wings, suggesting the spoilers may not have deployed correctly. Spoilers are crucial for disrupting lift and aiding in safe landings, but all six spoilers on the plane were destroyed by fire, complicating the investigation.

What was the main incident discussed at Stewart Airport?

• A plane crash involving Atlantic Airways flight 670

• A mid-air collision

• A successful emergency landing

• A runway closure due to weather

What was the condition of the other identical plane that landed before flight 670?

• It crashed into the sea

• It landed safely without issues

• It was diverted to another airport

• It experienced a minor technical issue

How did Sven Eric Strandberg describe the runway conditions?

• Extremely wet and slippery

• Not very wet, just a bit damp

• Completely dry

• Covered in ice

What unusual observation did firefighters report about flight 670?

• The plane was flying upside down

• The landing gear was not deployed

• The plane was on fire before landing

What evidence suggested the spoilers might not have worked as intended?

• The plane landed smoothly

• The plane's wings showed no damage

• Witnesses saw light trails from the wings

• The plane stopped quickly on the runway

What are wingtip vortices?

• Turbulent air trails created by wings

• Parts of the landing gear

• Lights used for navigation

• Trails of smoke from the engines

What is the purpose of spoilers on an aircraft?

• To provide additional lighting

• To disrupt lift and help the plane land

• To stabilize the plane during turbulence

• To increase speed during takeoff

What was the main issue with the spoilers on flight 670?

• They were deployed too early

• They were too small

• They failed to deploy

• They were not installed

Why is it difficult to determine if the spoilers failed?

• The flight data recorder was missing

• The plane was never found

• All six spoilers were destroyed by fire

• The runway was too damaged
