Well, shit, why couldn't they just fly out over the Atlantic and dump some fuel like the commercial aircraft do?

 

Maybe this jet doesn't fly high enough for the fuel to evaporate before it hits the ground?

Why don't they put run-flats on planes?  Not bouncy enough?

 

Too heavy? Can't take the sudden impact of landing? I hope the reason is not too expensive.

It’s a fucking Gulfstream, upgrading the tires would be a rounding error.

Why didn't they just go ahead and fly to London?  If they crash, they crash.  If they land safely, "we're here!"

I know zero details on this incident, but I'm assuming they kept their gear down after suspecting the blown tires.  And if you have any sort of gear/tire malfunction, and your gear are down and locked, the last thing you want to do is retract them.  Since you don't have enough fuel to fly to London with your gear down, you land somewhere close.

Most biz jets do not have fuel dump capability. My guess is their max landing weight is not far from their max takeoff weight, and could burn off the extra fuel quicker (especially with gear down) vs something like the flying gas can of a 777/A350.

 But my cousin Walter jerked off in public once. True story. He was on a plane to New Mexico when all of the sudden the hydraulics went. The plane started spinning around, going out of control, so he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other passengers take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the passengers are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of the sudden, snap! The hydraulics kick back in. The plane rights itself and it land safely and everyone puts their pieces or, whatever, you know, away and deboard. No one mentions the phenomenon to anyone else.


Well...did he cum or what

Ironically, Post Malone probably pays more to accountants and lawyers to help him escape taxes than anyone on this board.
