Explosion: "a violent and destructive shattering or blowing apart of something"
Also, if you listen to the ATC tape, she did report a fire initially.

Congrats on passing the checkride.
I hate checkrides. I've taken dozens,
given dozens, still hate 'em.
(OK, it's more fun to give than to receive. :) )

Gern_Blanston · 05-22-2017, 03:00 AM

Very cool. That's on my list.

Gern_Blanston · 05-21-2017, 12:34 AM
