"The Boeing 767-300 is a wide-body airliner."
*SHOWS PICTURE OF A 787-8*
You're that plane nerd
TheGamingParadise Atleast he is smart unlike your dumbass
Dart Man Wtf u weird af
TheGamingParadise And
Greg Caesar I AGREE! It always pisses me off. And it's a 787-9.
You know it's serious when this music starts playing.
Too bad the aircraft pictured at the gate was the 787 Dreamliner. Please get it right.
AliveWithPassion I know right, I hate it when they mix up the planes
Right...
The picture that Buiness Insider used for a United Ailrines "767-300" was actually a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. Just to let you know.
Jacob Reausaw ikr
that's actually compressed air leakage. LOL
The plane is leaking fuel from a port used to dump fuel. Most likely a faulty value or the crew mistakenly flipped the dump switch. A plane will dump fuel in the event of an emergency landing. This once happened to me when the flight I was on had to land within minutes of taking off. With the full fuel tanks, the plane was over it's weight limit for landing and the pilot had to dump a lot of fuel in order to land within the weight limit for the wings.
Crew would have to hit the dump valve switch in cockpit , The fueler probly over fueled one wing they both dump from left wing because the fuel panel is on the right wing. Good Shot !
Ya but how?
@@morganjefford Priceless info thanks to you both
@@mamindhive I used to fuel planes
@@morganjefford Can I ask you quick questions? I will be a safety oversight inspector on fueling operations soon.
1-Sometimes incorrect ramp markings lead to fueling dispenser being too close to other ground operations, I would have to delay the fueling operations for safety.
But what are the minimum distance allowed between the fueling dispenser and the baggage handling equipment/Catering equipment in case we must operate them simultaneously? As far as I know there has to be a clear path of exit and this will always be assured. But as a regulation there has to be a minimum distance allowed, right?
'Saved lives' a bit of an exaggeration.
You’re so smart that you forgot that the pilots are very aware that the fuel is leaking.
where is the hazmat crew? not very environmentally conscious i'd say.
It could be easily contained with many bags of speedy dry. Most likely the high level float switch failed. I would troubleshoot the fuel load and that switch ń the left wing and maybe the dump switch and valve. I would first defuel to the level it stops going oveboard. Of course the passengers need to deplane first.
compressed air , they dont dump flammable fuel on tarmac. . that is against all Osha and hazmat protocols
Its a fuel leak from the fuel fume vents at the wing tips, only happens when you overide the VTO on the wings, they overfill, someone was just not paying attention and fucked up bad, my source: fueling a 737 every day at work for past 8 months
relax its united its kicking out the fuel without any problem.
disinfo
overfilled tank, fuel expanded in the heat and it overflowed out of the overflow vent
Most likely.
when you beat up the passenger so hard you cause a fuel leak
While there is a fuel leak it's most likely caused by wing tank being over filled.
The fuel starts coming out of the wing vent and goes into a kind of syphon mode.
Doesn't even look like the leak. I haven't read the report yet, but it appears the the fuel dump system was engaged.
Fueler screwed up , over fueled , That will get you fired. Seen it happen.
Blocked the dead man switch while he played on his phone.
"When it rains, it pours."
almost a fiery honeymoon uhhhh
0:20 And your showing a 787. Get your facts straight
If a planes tanks are over filled the valves will open & where the fuel is coming from on the wing is where jets usually dump fuel in case of emergencies. The valve is probably malfunctioning or was turned on by accident.
767 but you put a 787.. lol
Lol
I'm an aircraft structures/sheetmetal guy who's worked on many big jets. It's possible a fuel leak like this could've been disastrous, but highly unlikely. This leak is the approximate location of many jet's fuel dump valves. You can watch B-767s on CZcams dumping fuel in flight in this location. I'll betcha this was an open dump valve, though I've never worked on one since that's the systems guys area.
was united flight the one who force the passenger out of their airplane not long time ago?
Mike.. :)
Lmao I was in the seat behind these people when this happened
It's not fuel, but chemtrail poison.
That is 100 percent the fault of the fueler. My guess is he blocked the dead man switch and it just kept forcing fuel into that wing.
That fuel leak would probably have not caused the airplane to crash, there are many saftey features provided to the pilots, for example there are many different fuel tanks in the airplane, if you lose one you may have 8 more, and you may also cut fuel coming threw the tank that is loosing fuel, pilots may also notice the amount of fuel they are losing with their instruments and make necessary adjustments.
The Boeing 767 is a wide body jetliner" shows 787-9 IF U ARE GOING TO SHOW A PICTURE OF THE PLANE, AT LEAST USE THE CORECT PICTURE!!!😩
if you're going to correct the video, 'AT LEAST CORRECT IT TO THE RIGHT PLANE'. it's a 787-800, United registration N26902
787-8 is what it's reffered to as
someone said that in another dudes comment atleast xD
Saying it's a 767-300
yet showing a 787-8
logic
I don't understand why people still fly united? They should be out of business by now..
So now we gotta teach how a plane should
TAKE A PISS 💦
Get the pictures right ffs...
*Boeing 767-300*
Shows Boeing 787-8...
“boeing 767”
shows 787
i predict
united airlines will get a bankcruptcy
I wonder if this was missed in the pre-flight inspection from the ground crew or if fuel drain simply wasn't noticed by the pilots. So many questions.
now someone was saying they ran on air for better efficiency.
If it was dumping and the system pressurized then you would see much more fuel. One scenario is the dump valve was energized while pressurized momentarily and then the aircraft was shut down leavïng the valve open. It could also be that the the wing tank was overpressurized and it was venting overboard. The aircraft could have been fueled during a cool night and the fuel expanded during the heat of the day. And it's possible that a small screw lodged in the valve keeping it open from a previous dump cycle. Most likely though a high leveĺ float switch for the left wing failed to shutoff the fueĺ shutoff valve and so the left wing continued to accept fuel even though it was full and so it went out the vent to overboard.
Picture above is not of a 767-300, it is one of united's 787-8's.
Pilot accidentally switch on fuel dump.
Also, that fuel was coming from an embrear 175, look at the winglets and then search united 767 and that was not even close to reality, if I remember right that plane that’s video was the fuel leak in DEN we had last year...
Cancelled ?thought the news on tv said it arrived in ewr must fine
United is the Meek Mill of airline companies
Breaking News! United Airlines flight cancelled after leaking people out of the cockpit!
"massive" 🙄
They wanted to cancel the flight but doesn’t want to kick everyone from the plane so they made the pilot dump the fuel w the emergency fuel dump thing so they have excuse to cancel it rather than having 100 TSA to take them all out
I wonder how passengers were disembarked afterwards...
Luka Reeson on the jet bridge...
United should be banned from all kind of aviation
People are going to get fired
If it took off with that fuel leak then it would have been a more deadly version of Air Transat flight 236
No that was due to different cause completely, this one was most likely over fueled and even if it ran away quickly he would just emergency land to the same airport he aborted from.
It does happen easily specially if the fueler is fatigued, he probably over fueled the right win and it dumped with the left wing, the only damaged here is the cost of the cleaning
welcome to new jersey
I absolutely abhor videos like this - if I wanted to read I'd look to paper or browse a webpage. *SPEAK!*
Karma is real
I hope they don't get kicked out from the hotel
they didn't get a hotel. The airline only game everyone food vouches. They had to sleep on the floor.
a million dollar idea: a joint venture between United and UBER haha; at the end of the day everyone hates those two
More people love uber than hate it. What u talking about m8
The girl was like what could that be
The 767-300 is a wide body airliner...shows a 787
Warren Buffett gonna be mad
Why is it pouring out of the high side of the wing? Defies gravity.
This happens when the wing is overfueled. Each wing has a vent near the wingtip.
how can water pour out of the top of a cup when gravity pulls it down??
same logic, there is fuel above that valve, and the fuel tanks are compartmentalized inside the wing
@@robertw6894 for everyone here wondering, the fuel in the wing has either done 2 things. One it is being pumped overboard with a pump, which is how these emergency dump valves normally operate, or the wing was overfilled and then when the fuel inside heated up it expanded. Just like how water can come out the top of a water balloon with a hole in it, the fuel can come out of a closed wing when expanded. If you don’t understand the physics behind a situation it’s not proof of a hoax just proof it’s time to crack open google and research some more
Seems united is kicking everything off their plane these days.
that's a 787 you bollocks
Are heroes?!? Lol it’s not like the ground crew have already notice that and told the pilots.. they won’t let the plane go if they notice a problem.. over exaggeration much
0:24 That's a 787? not a 767 lol
united we stand , on the tarmac , at the gate , in the terminal , can i get a bag of peanuts, hell no, I'm humming that gershwin tune and hearing Gene Hackman's voice , i promise to pray for a plane crash every time i see a plane taxi down the runway
Got light buddy ?
the video showed a boeing 737 not a 767
lol wow you fail at life. you correct the video trying to look smart by fail miserably because it's a boeing 787-800, not a 737. lol GG no RM
Just to be pedantic, it is a 787-8. There is no such thing as a 787-800
Im Vegan so angry! The picture of the plane at the gate at :20 is a 787-8 although the the title says 767-300. The video out the window has wingtips, from a 767-300. Look up United 767, you will see they have wingtips similar to a 737. The flight was to Italy, there's no way they would fly a 737 from USA to Italy.
yeah just noticed my mistake
Boeing 787-300 dreamliner!!!!!
Nightmare!
Sir we don't care please return to your seat and fasten your seatbelt !!
What music are you guys using? What's the name??
Jet fuel doesn’t exist
Are you joking?
@@JayJayAviation yes
象是泄油阀坏了，那个位置是泄油阀的位置，在紧急迫降前泄油用的。
How convenient....anyone else smelling fear and desperation...cue the Rage Against Machine music!!!
The plane was abused
What causes the fuel lines to leak fuel?
No fuel leak. That's the fuel vent port because someone overfilled the plane with fuel, so it came rushing out of the pressure release vent...
looks like water
Of course it does, jetA is basically clear. But if you have it next to a cup of water you would see the difference
Man it's a big plane
This happened in my city
dont worry failure close valve left tank
typical
Well I'll be staying away from United Airlines planes from now on!
shibby right
Throw a lit match at it
Nothing would happen. The match would just go out.
Mark lame
@@marcospintor1333 yeah, jet fuel is very similar to diesel, it has a higher ignition temperature than the match burns at im pretty sure
enada hoax story
Fuel leak beca5they never put fuel in them much. Most engines start with fuel but run on air in flight.
What is in Air that makes engines work, as in how does this engine provide thrust with only Air?
W A T E R
fake!
Rip 1st
people using this to extort the company out of free shit, just count your blessing that this stable fuel didn't ignite.
