At least you don't need flash.

The video shows the aircraft travelling quite fast - takeoff speed in
fact, on the taxi ramp. I bet the security camera that caught this last
year has a slow frame rate and they didn't compensate.

The captain had reported hydraulic problems in flight, the plane landed
safely and taxiied without assistance. Then the hydraulic system failed
- no brakes, no steering. Why would the captain not requested a tow
after landing with bad hydraulics? Could they have used reverse thrust?

Good thing the hyd. failed after successful landing. Secondly, good
thing there were no sparks to ignite the leaking fuel.

Interesting . . . but what motive force does the plane use to deploy
the reversers? . . perhaps hydrualics? Anyone have a DC-9/MD-80 POH
at hand?

Clearly someone's guardian angel need to go put her feet up at the end
of that day.

Blue skies . . .

Good thing that the tug had already unhooked after pushback. Without it
hooked up, at least there was some give in the standing plane.

FWIW, On the B727 (JT8D engines), high pressure bleed air activates the
reversers).

OK Tom . . . so that suggests that the DC-9/MD-80 may also use bleed
air. Interesting.

year has a slow frame rate and they didn't compensate.

Takeoff speed?? Ha, ha, ha. Not even close. The airplane was going
barely faster than the cart tug that passed by earlier. I'll bet less
than 30 MPH which is just a wee bit less than TO speed for a typical jet.

Certainly the aircraft was not =actually= moving at takeoff speed.
However, the video does make it look that way. That's why I said it
looked like the film was speeded up.
