Passengers on an Avianca flight from Bogota to the city of Pasto in Nariño province, southwestern Colombia, experienced moments of intense fear and panic after two consecutive failed landing attempts at Antonio Nariño International Airport.

Bad weather conditions caused severe tension on board, leading to some passengers fainting and suffering acute anxiety attacks.

After the crew was unable to land safely, the captain decided to return the aircraft to Bogota’s airport for safety reasons.

It is worth noting that Antonio Nariño Airport is located in a rugged mountainous area in the Andes Mountains, which frequently results in difficult and unpredictable weather conditions.

Clear skies. No turbulence. And the apes are freaking out

They were served too much Colombian coffee and need to just relax with some Colombian Gold - that my deceased brother-in-law used to navigate his new '79 Trans Am with after a hard days work on the Ford assembly line.

dumb bitches crying when the plane is fine, bet they did that silly cross thing when it took off as well as if there is some god somewhere giving two fucks about them and their flight over a third world retard hot spot

I'm sure the Captain made the best decision she could :angel:

@ScreaminMime I just looked up Antonio Narino Airport (PSO) in Colombia. This airport sits on a top of a mountain at 6,000 feet elevation with very little runoff area and VERY STEEP DROP-OFF near the end of the runway. Add in crosswinds and turbulence from bad weather with maybe a wet runway, it’s easy to understand why the pilot decided to abandon. Even if the pilot is a man. LOL.

Also worth pointing out that at 6,000 feet, air density is roughly 20% lower than at sea level. Because of the thinner air, physics changes quite a bit. True airspeed is higher, engine performance is reduced, and the runway performance margin shrinks. When you apply kinetic energy scale with the square of speed, even a 12% increase (at 6,000 ft) in true airspeed can translate into roughly 25% more kinetic energy requirement during landing rollout and increase in the stopping distance. LOL.
