On February 28, 1984, Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) Flight 901, a McDonnell
Douglas DC-10-30 of Norwegian Registry, was a regularly scheduled international
passenger flight from Stockholm, Sweden, to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK),
New York, with an en route stop at Oslo, Norway. Following a category E[ instrument
landing system (LS) approach to runway 4 Right at JFK, the airplane touched down long
and fast after which it rolled off the end of the runway and came to rest with its nose
partially submerged in a tidal waterway about 600 feet beyond the departure end of the
runway. All of the 163 passengers and 14 crewmembers evacuated the airplane safely, but
with some injuries. I-/
The Safety Board determined that the probable cauk of this accident was the
flightcrew's (a) disregard for prescribed procedures for monitoring and controlling of
airspeed during the final stages of the approach, (b) decision to continue the landing
rather than to execute a missed approach, and (c) overreliance on the autothrottle speed
control system which had a history of recent malfunctions.
Det var vel også en Lufthansa skipper som kom på PA anlegget og fortalte paxen på sin flight
"ute til til høyre kan dere se Manhattan Skyline og til venstre kan dere se airline of the year."

Hehe...det er en god, gammel historie. Har hørt den så mange ganger at jeg nesten lurer på om den er sann...
Tally-ho
Den er faktisk sann. Han fikk seg en skikkelg skrape for den kommentaren.
For å avkrefte en myte: Arve Tellefsen brukte ikke fela si til å padle med! Jeg tror at han kom seg ut på venstre side i en av skliene helt foran, han satt vel på bussiness, . . .
