Welcome back to another photo description video.
2
The subject for today is going to be runway excursions.
3
I'm going to first start out by pointing out details of this photo and then give my own photo description.
4
I'll also include some relevant topics for discussion.
5
So, here we go.
6
So the aircraft is sitting partially submerged in the water.
7
Behind the aircraft we can see the end of the runway and tire tracks leading to the water's edge.
8
The aircraft itself seems to be a narrow body type, most likely a Boeing 737.
9
And that's just because of the shape of the fuselage and winglets, and the design of the windscreen.
10
Now let's start from the tip of the aircraft.
11
The front part of the nose is missing.
12
This part is referred to as either the nose cone or radome, since it houses the aircraft's weather radar.
13
Obviously it's not normal to fly without a nose cone, so it may have sheared off during the accident the accident, but since there are no cracks or dents,
14
it was most likely removed or disassembled after the event occurred.
15
Just behind the flight deck, we can see both forward emergency exit doors are open and the emergency slides have been deployed.
16
While the slide on the aircraft's left side is inflated, the slide on the opposite side is deflated.
17
The emergency slide could have been punctured by a sharp object or maybe it just didn't inflate properly to begin with.
18
Moving further back, we can see three people standing over the right wing
19
while another person is stepping out from the overwing exit door.
20
Since the four people don't appear to be dressed as crew members, I would say that they're most likely either accident investigators or government officials.
21
It also looks like these individuals made it from the shoreline to the aircraft via
22
that yellow raft floating just below the right wing.
23
Now let's zoom out and look at the fuselage.
24
From this point of view, it appears to be intact as there are no signs of dents, cracks, or major separation, especially
25
if we compare it to other photos such as this Caribbean Airlines 737 or this Kalita Air 747.
26
So the lack of any major structural damage leads me to believe
27
that the aircraft impacted the water at a fairly low speed
28
and hopefully there were no major injuries to the passengers or crew of this flight.
29
Surrounding the aircraft I see this long orange floating rope.
30
I don't know with certainty what it's used for but
31
if I had to guess I would say
32
that maybe there's a net underneath
33
and this net could be used to contain debris from the aircraft such as pieces of the wing
34
or landing gear it could also be used to contain toxic chemicals such as fuel oil
35
or hydraulic fluid and prevent them from spreading
36
and causing environmental damage now let's turn our focus to the
37
background of this scene here we see multiple vehicles parked on
38
the runway in grass including two fire rescue vehicles on the
39
left side of the photo there are also multiple people standing
40
on the shoreline looking towards the aircraft some of them are
41
wearing reflective clothing in order to be more visible some of
42
these individuals are also wearing a helmet known as a hard
43
hat to protect their heads these individuals may be news reporters safety inspectors
44
or members of the airport fire rescue team another part that's worth mentioning is
45
that light in the upper right side of this photo this
46
type of bright light known as a flood light is used to illuminate large areas at night
47
so this event probably occurred at night
48
and the floodlight was used to illuminate the scene
49
and help the airport fire rescue team to safely approach the aircraft there are some other clues
50
that make me believe this event occurred quite some time after this photo was taken. For example,
51
there are no lights from the fire rescue vehicles nor does anyone really seem to be in a sense of panic.
52
Alright, so now that we've gone over this photo, I'm going to provide my own photo description as well as talk about any topics
53
that may be discussed in the ICAO English test.
54
Alright, here we go.
55
Alright, so in this photo I see a narrow body aircraft, possibly a Boeing 737 that is partially submerged in the water.
56
This is clearly the result of a runway excursion since I can see part of the runway in the background
57
and the tire tracks leading to the water.
58
It looks like the airplane was safely evacuated because I can see at least two emergency evacuation slides that were deployed.
59
There's an orange line surrounding this airplane which is most likely there to prevent environmental damage by containing any debris
60
or hazardous fluids from the aircraft.
61
I see three or four people, possibly accident investigators, standing on the right wing of the aircraft
62
and it looks like one of them is stepping out of the emergency exit door.
63
They probably traveled from the shoreline to the aircraft using
64
that yellow raft that's sitting just below the leading edge of the wing.
65
Standing on the shoreline behind the aircraft are few more people.
66
Some of them are wearing hard hats and reflective clothing, so they may be accident investigators or news reporters.
67
There are also a few trucks and vehicles parked in the grass and on the runway, including two fire rescue vehicles on the upper left side of the photo.
68
I don't really see a sense of urgency among the individuals near and around the airplane, so I think this runway excursion happened well before this photo
69
was taken it also probably took a decent amount of time
70
to set up those orange cones around the runway edge
71
and to remove
72
that radome from the fuselage the floodlight at the upper right hand corner of this photo makes me believe
73
that this event occurred at night
74
so what could have caused this accident well like many accidents there's usually no single cause
75
but rather a number of contributing factors I can't tell if this occurred during takeoff or landing,
76
but the aircraft may have encountered some type of wind shear or convective activity.
77
If so, the pilots may have encountered stiff crosswinds or a tailwind
78
which would have greatly increased the stopping distance on the runway.
79
If storms were over the airfield, then the water on the runway from the rain would have certainly decreased the braking performance of the aircraft.
80
And speaking of braking performance, it's also possible that one of the braking mechanisms malfunctioned, such as the wheel brakes,
81
speed brakes, or thrust reversers.
82
We can't see if the thrust reversers were deployed in this photo since the engines are submerged, but it's clear that the speed brakes are not deployed.
83
But they may have been retracted before the aircraft was evacuated.
84
It's also worth noting the numerous professions involved in this event, such as the pilots, flight attendants,
85
air traffic controllers, and fire rescue.
86
Each has a unique role and I'd say the most important trait is good communication.
87
Since the captain is a pilot in command, he or she has full authority and responsibility of the airplane and everyone in it.
88
If I was the captain of this flight, I would immediately notify air traffic control of the situation and request that they send fire rescue.
89
I would also state the number of souls on board.
90
My radio call would sound something like, Tower, November 123, we just went off the runway and into the water.
91
We're partially submerged and have 150 souls on board.
92
We need you to send fire rescue.
93
Usually, the first officer makes all the radio calls while on the ground, but since this is such a critical situation,
94
I would just speak to ATC myself to make sure the proper information is communicated.
95
Next, I would direct the first officer to run the evacuation checklist.
96
This would ensure that the engines are shut off and the airplane is safe before everyone exits.
97
I would give the signal to evacuate and tell the passengers and flight attendants where we should all meet up.
98
Ideally, this would be a location that's far enough and safe enough from the crash site.
99
In this case, I would choose the runway edge.
100
I would then go back to the cabin and help facilitate the evacuation.
101
I would make sure that all the emergency exit doors were opened and the slides were deployed.
102
I would also make sure that every passenger and crew member safely exits the airplane.
103
Before exiting the airplane myself, I would try to take a few documents with me that could help the fire rescue team and the investigation.
104
These documents would include the final passenger count,
105
the aircraft's maintenance logbook, and the cargo report in case we had any hazardous materials in the cargo hold.
106
Now, as a first officer, my job would be to back up or assist the captain with his or her duties.
107
For example, I may communicate with the flight attendants while the captain is coordinating with air traffic control.
108
Once the evacuation has started, I would then go back with the captain and help the passengers exit the airplane and ensure that the slides were deployed.
109
I would also consider taking a fire extinguisher with me in case a fire broke out.
110
As a flight attendant, I would probably be incredibly stressed
111
and startled from the airplane leaving the runway and hitting the water so suddenly.
112
Nonetheless, I would have to keep my composure
113
and remain calm as I tell the passengers to release their seatbelts and get out.
114
I would also remind them to leave their luggage behind as it could slow down and prevent others from evacuating.
115
As a tower controller in this situation, one of my first responsibilities would be to notify airport fire rescue.
116
I would relay the number of souls on board told to me by the flight crew.
117
Depending on the size, the entire airport may be closed altogether.
118
My next task would be to close the runway by redirecting arriving and departing traffic.
119
I would instruct any approaching aircraft to go around.
120
I would also need to coordinate with other air traffic control sectors to reduce or stop the amount of arriving flights.
121

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
