Israeli Flight Bound For NYC U-Turns Mid-Atlantic
El Al Israel Airlines Flight #7 bound for New York City (from Tel Aviv) has, as AirLive.net reports, U-turn'd abruptly as it entered The Atlantic and appears to be heading back to Israel. Some details are being reported that there is a problem with one engine... which is odd because they are so far from Tel Aviv, why not land "safely" somewhere and seek repairs?

Pilot for his wallet, happens to all of us. That's all.
Engine problem and the asshole is trying to fly back to Israel -- 4 hours away? Fuck that, land me a CDG in 20 minutes.
What an asshole.
Must have security protocols if they land at unsecure location terrorists will swarm the aircraft.
Pretty sure it's just a case of the passengers finding out the flight snacks were non-kosher. Completely unacceptable so they had to turn around.
The stewardesses must’ve realized that the plane took off WITHOUT pilots. ;-)
Looney
Israelis exercising the "right of return," something they promised to the Palestinians but never fulfilled.
Who gives a flying f_k?
Exactly. Trolling for jew hate?
You too can be on 'The List'.
Female Flight Attendants probably didnt wear heels until all the passemgers were aboard.
This has happened before to flight LY75 Tel Aviv to Hong Kong. It was subject to a media blackout in Israel.

The pilot realized that he dropped a scheckel while getting dressed in the morning, hes got to go get it, he thinks his wife may steal it.
The horror.
RIPS
Or maybe airplane maintenance costs too much?
These can still fly safely on one engine. 747 has 4 engines , one down is not that uncommon and certainly not a serious risk.
what if they are flying airbus 320 sharklets ?
A320 has 2 engines so they would have to make an emergency landing at the nearest suitable airfield. Anyways A320 is not suitable for trans-altantic they cannot carry enough fuel.
maintenance facilities at CDG aren't kosher
too many muslim engineers
if just one engine--then they go back to Israel and have a substitte plane and crew , can fix exhine more easily there AAND they cannot fly over ocean with only 3 of 4 engines.
so my guess is hat its more logistical and business issues.
They have protocols to follow.. they returned over land , not water and were never more than xx minutes away from a usable airstrip... I just scanned the FAA regs for a 747-400 http://fsims.faa.gov/wdocs/mmel/b-747-400_r29.htm and found that the requirements for flight differ wildly based on the engines fitted ,, Pratt and GE seem to be more reliable than Rolls... just like all the "British Electrics" jokes we've all heard for the last 50 years the RR engines can fly with various fault codes and failures in the electronic engine management systems ,, seemingly because they seem to put out a lot of false faults...
Can you imagine the complaining?
El Al has a hydraulic wall on board that rises from the subfloor of the plane between the aisles.
A story about nothing, and out come the anti-semites again, like cockroaches.
p.s. it wasn't even CLOSE to being "mid-Atlantic" but by the looks of it, just before the MNPS part of the flight: http://www.turbulenceforecast.com/atlantic_westbound_tracks.php
Good decision of the crew to return, instead of dumping fuel and landing somewhere without adequate maintanance facilities, hotels for the passengers, and requiring a replacement aircraft to be ferried in.
Unfortunately all the "financial experts" here are still pissed off with gold at $1200, so they need a highly emotional story ("mid-Atlantic") and anti-semitism story to vent their frustration.
'anti-semetic'
Nice job wattering down that "shut down the conversation" term. Its a simple joke about a wall coming up on the plane? rly? You do know about that big wall over in israel, right?
Not agreeing or disagreeing, but you're wrong on the alleged "anti-semites" part.
Palestinians are Semites also. Look it up, deal with it.
And accept that this article is an easy journalistic tidbit for click-baiting for site stats. Some of the lines are pretty funny though, if you have ANY sense of humor.
p.s. Lemme guess...
They were offering Whine & Cheese on the flight, but ran out of Cheese. The Whine you hear, is not from the engine. Repeat: Not an engine whine.
well at least someone's gonna get a good deal on Carole King the Musical tix tonight
they must have also left "two passengers" at the gate...
engine
Bright and sunny day in NYC. Targets galore, eh Bibby? I'm the guy at 350 5th Avenue giving you the finger, about 18 floors up. Come get it.
Well the only thing we can ever actually KNOW about why this happened is that whatever they tell is DIDN'T happen. You can cross that one off the list. lol Because they lie about everything. lol http://www.thetruthaboutthelaw.com/yes-they-constantly-lie-to-you-learn-...
An engine problem would normaly have you land at nearest safe airfield. A Maintence ferry pilot would then fly the aircraft back to base without passengers. Maintence base is probably not Tel Aviv.
They could have continued to NY instead of turning around at the half way point. Better maintenance in NY. Or even get her to Gander.

I'm not sure 3 engines on a 747 constitutes an emergency. I read about a BA flight that had just taken off from LAX for London when they lost an engine. The flight continued on to London on 3 engines.
Here's the article...
Jet Flies On With One Engine Out Despite LAX takeoff malfunction, British Airways pilot continues nonstop trip to London. The 747 lands safely but short of its destination."The procedure [continuing a flight on three engines] is within our normal operating protocols."
http://articles.latimes.com/2005/mar/01/local/me-britair1
Exactly, as long as it's not "severe engine damage" (i.e. fire, smoke, vibrations, no remaining N1, N2 indications, loud bang etc) it's no problem to continue back to Tel Aviv on the 3 remaining engines. Should another engine flame out then this would consitute an emergency, and over the remaining route back to TLV there would be plenty of alternate airports available to land a 747. Continuing over the Atlantic however would not be a safe option.
A simple flame out (perhaps due to a problem with the EEC, Electronic Engine Control), although extremely rare, do happen and the failed engine will just windmill leading to an increased fuel burn. Another reason for the increased fuel burn will be the fact that the optimum altitude can not be reached on those 3 remaining engines with a full load of passengers and cargo.
People here, just like elsewhere, seem to be brainwashed by the mainstream media by reading all those "jet makes emergency landing" headlines and the blatant and emotional anti-semitism here is outright scary. And you guys are supposed to have a rational view of the economy? Hahaha, what a bunch of amateurs here! Yeah go ahead, minus me with negative fiat kudos, you red neck dumb fucks!
Maintanance, dumping fuel, putting the passengers in hotels, delays, missed connections, flying in a replacement aircraft is very expensive, so from the sound of it it probably was a sensible commercial and safe decision of the crew to burn the excess fuel (instead of dumping) by returning to TLV.
Fuck Israel and every twat waffle who can't take jokes and cries about antisemitism. Christ almighty, 99,000 other websites where they can't blow israel and jews hard enough, and you come here to complain?
I sure hope you are a jew, because anyone who cares this much and is not HAS to be some kind of dogshit Zionist asshole.
Go back there. And stay there.
Well at least we know it's not engine problems, huh ZH.
Pilot just realized he left the stove on at home.
And the Palestinians inside were way overdone.
That's not possible. The crispier the better.
some nice Israeli realized he wasn't getting credit for the miles and demanded a uturn
Off topic: maybe a little early but I just had a Klinghoffer: two shots and a splash
If they had an issue prior to the Equal Time Point (Mechanical, medical, etc.) they will divert to their enroute alternate, perhaps Shannon or Dublin. It happens all of the time.
Are we to expect similar reports when other international flights are turned around? Or did ZH just blow its cover?
At least there are no Krauts looking for the Alps, again
hope they land safely, etc but why is this a story here?
The Delicate Genius - the story is here to give all the trolling antisemites on ZH something to drivel about. They need to blame someone for their misfortune and misery so the Jews are a perfect go to.
I once saw a mock trial of Lee Harvey Oswald with F. Lee Baily as the defense and Rudy Guilani as the prosecutor. F. Lee was waxing poetic about how Oswald was the perfect patsy. Great oratory and arguement.
This was demolished in about 15 sec by Rudy who simply said "He looks like the perfect patsy because he is exactly the guy that would do it!"
So, when you talk abou the Jews being the perfect go to for blame think about that, maybe, just maybe, they are.
The "delicate genius" line comes from Seinfeld as does this:
Yeah, I got some family backstage. Course my family's nuts; they're crazy. Yep. My uncle Leo, I had lunch with him the other day, he's one of these guys that anything goes wrong in life, he blames it on anti-Semitism. You know what I mean, the spaghetti's not al dente? Cook's an anti-Semite. Loses a bet on a horse. Secretariat? Anti-Semitic. Doesn't get a good seat at the temple. Rabbi? Anti-Semite.
"They need to blame someone for their misfortune and misery so the Jews are a perfect go to."
But why is that? Why not blame Buddhists, or Ecuadorans?
were the last three Fed chairs Ecuadorians?
Because God knows the jews havent done anything to harm others. no daily sport killings for the past 50 years. no unbearable reparations that prompted germany toward ww2. no hand at all in the 2008 financial crisis. no hand at all in the upper workings of America's government that we all love to hate. Not to mention their involvement, via proxy as is their usual modus operandi, on Golgatha.
and also don't forget it gives those bored hasbarats with nothing else to do a white hat and a flowing cape to rush madly to the defense of the saintly and holy jew wherever real or perceived "antisemitism" might lurk. Cause Gawd knows, no one should have a beef about them at all, ever.
Some readers here note the connection between airplanes and some countries in the middle east.
One of the Dancing Mossad forgot their carry on?

Whats wrong with New York...lots of nice people there...good bagels...
Jew York is a shithole of Wiggers and KIKES
Exactly. It's important on jew-bait treads to give it your all. Be creative, venomous, and passionate.
Come on, now everyone give it a try. It's fun.
say "we have some planes" in your thickest Israeli accent... and see if it sounds like the 9/11 ATC tape.
give it a try. It's fun.
Ben Yippyyahoo suddenly realised hasn't got 'Ticking Bomb placards"
To scare bejesus out of UN.
No crayons on board to draw a new one !!!
Obviously a nonsense reason since making a u-turn bleeds off lots of momentum and speed. Not to mention there were a gazillion better options than returning to Tel Aviv in the event of such an emergency at that point in the flight.
Forgot the inflight nuts.
O wait, coming from Tel Aviv.
I lol'd
Landing at 2220. Back in Tel Aviv. Not anywhere in between to fix the engine problem. 4 hours back as opposed to going 4 hours further.
Can only mean one thing:
Police and Mossad standing ready to enter the plane and escort one or more individuals off the plane
I believe we have a winner here.
That was exactly my guess.
Or onto the plane...like the "underwear bomber" was escorted onto the plane by two nice older gents
This has happened before to flight LY75 Tel Aviv to Hong Kong. It was subject to a media blackout in Israel.
http://www.richardsilverstein.com/2012/07/22/el-al-flight-recalled-to-israel-after-security-alert/
Or there were going to be police / NSA waiting to esscort someone off at NY that Tel Aviv didn't intend. For most it would be likely that a simple request to hold for extradition would be enough. Does sound like politics is more likely then air safety.
The aircraft has 4 engines(747). I call bullocks on the engine excuse. Maybe they forgot to pick up John "Kohn" Kerry after he broke his other leg?
I love to see an El-Al aircraft get the Lockerbie treatment.
or the Mossad "we have some planes" treatment...
Still waiting for Netanyahoo to pull MH370 twin out of his garage.
FlightRadar24 says it's an engine malfunction
Curious if these airliner tracking sites show the chemtrail planes when they're out doing their thing
..'Big Anus the Diarretic' strikes again!

TSA ought to be checking each and every asshole for evidence ala SouthPark..'Lemme check yer asshole'..
The plane made a jew-turn overThe Atlantic? Amazing!
So many aeronautical engineers on http://www.zerohedge.com.
Who would have known?
"Enough is ENOUGH! I have had it with these motherfuckin' snakes on this motherfuckin' plane! Everybody strap in! I'm about to open some fuckin' windows."
They can't land anyplace except NYC and Tel Aviv because the jews have no friendly borders.
Not enough fuel to make LAS... Wynn and Adelson would welcome them
Who forgot the Dramamine? Sue the shit out of them!
Bokkenridjer...chill out...everyone hates Jews ...get over it.

How does a Jew celebrate Christmas?
He installs a parking meter on the roof
Ho ho ho? Oy oy oy!
Well, it's three hours back to Tel Aviv. Maybe there's another aircraft there they can load the passengers into. Or they could land in Paris, fly the plane back to Tel Aviv empty, and fly the empty plane from Tel Aviv to Paris to pick up the passengers and continue to New York.
But that would involve another landing and take-off with a damaged plane. I'm no expert, and I'm sure I wouldn't be a happy passenger either, but I guess this doesn't sound that unlogical. Well, they probably could get it fixed in Paris, or fix it themselves in Paris, but would rather do it back home. Marginal.
If plane was really damaged, believe me its in everyone interest to land as quick as only possible. Would you rather stay on plane longer risking your life for little less convenience? Would be in the interest of flying company to risk plane loss and reputation?
Flight 302, please cancel your flight and return immediately, we plan to nuke NYC with assistance of mossad to justify war on several other countries, please return for your safety - now.
Another terrorist asshole has committed an unforgiveable act of diabolic-metabolistic-gastrointestinal warfare on unsuspecting passengers and crew. But on this flight it will be much harder to find the culprit, since nobody from Tel Aviv has recently showered.
we cant land in france
its not kosher enough
please provide us a kosher airport
joke aside, its well known we jews are greedy, so we cant pay for a landing on your airport, even for 5$
give money to the goyim and nintedoyahoo will never forgive you
IF you look at that flight radar site, for some reason the israeli arcraft seem to be always flying about 100 Kts faster than the equivalents of other nations...
If you just click on a plane that interests you adn it tells you a b lot about it including how fast it is flying adn at what altitude.
Like for like the Israelis DO seem to be going faster.
