A United Airlines flight at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport aborted takeoff and evacuated its passengers due to smoke in the cabin. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200, had accelerated to around 90 knots before rejecting takeoff. The investigation into the cause of the smoke is ongoing. Let’s take a closer look at this incident in today’s video.

glad no injuries other than two vaping Karen's trying to make a profit out of this?
Can you folks at ‘Simple Flying’ get any info on how the flight crew was made aware of the cabin smoke in time to start and reject takeoff roll. Was it a flight deck warning of some kind?
Very good pilots. Nothing more to say.
Please say Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (instead of Amsterdam Schiphol Airport) in the next videos. It sounds so much better.
10 minutes. 10 @#$&ing minutes. That is unacceptable at an airport. Maybe put a weight restriction in place. Sounds like too many all you can eat buffets to me.
Bluddey maintenance men
A passenger was probably smoking in the toilet . Flight attendants have told me it happens frequently – Crazy
Glad I’m seeing this after I recently flew on a United 777-200 😂
Jeez and only a few weeks ago I flew a with United Airlines on 777-200er. It was great and all but I would never expect something this to happen weeks later
100,000+ flight hours.
This bird needs to be retired. Especially with a past history of incidents and coming after the 2 other major United 777-200 incidents (Denver and Honolulu) in recent years with ships
N772UA and N773UA
The first Gen 777-200 have reached the end of their lives
Better safe than sorry. Props to the crew.
Why did Boeing initially skip the Boeing 717?
Lets just be glad we didnt have another Swiss Airlines 111
Typical Boing Boing plane.
The Boeing 777-200 stay on Tuesday September 6 on the apron of Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Waiting on technicians of United Airlines. Greet from Zandvoort.
Sounds like this specific aircraft needs to be put out to pasture before something catastrophic happens with it
😢
Time to retire this plane
Use Airbus.
Curious on what information pilots got to make the abort decision so quickly. Smok alarm on display? cabin crew calling to advise smoke in cabin (uf som would have been very fast). Did smoke start when engines revved up for take off, or did it start when engines started and pilots hope ir was just engine startup smoke that would clear, but after revving up, crew advised smoked continued?
Aborting takeoff is usually not based on a hunch but rather hard information.
How come it took fire crews 10 minutes to respond???
I think the old bird is trying to tell United something.
Sitting in the desert for a year and a half can sure make old birds cranky.
Not a big deal
Getting ready to fly United airline for first time to Europe and return with Lufthansa Airlines end of the year! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just curious, if this had been an Airbus aircraft would we be hearing about it? Probably not. 100,000 hours is not excessive for an aircraft of this age.
Safety of course, but the plane its getting Old.
I can’t believe you all want to compare AA to UA aircraft. Thing go wrong on aircraft and nothing is probably connected to each other. This happened on aircraft all the time and are minor, but crews are safety first mindset. Then you go threw issues that happen in the past. I can tell you maintenance personnel would never let an unsafe aircraft fly if it’s not safe. Shame on you for comparing issues in the past.
Let's speed up the 777X and its GE9X certifications.
Perhaps due to the fact that the Aircraft is more than 25 years old and has clocked more than 100,000 of running,, the system is showing signs of its age ,,,with history of trouble on earlier occasions also ,,it is perhaps time the Aircraft deserves a thorough check up and replace any potential or likely thorny parts before it is put back on the run,, the safety of passenger should be top concern of the airline authority
Most common smoke/odor cause: mice and their nests and pee.
Maintenance Issue,,,, I'm sure of that
Maybe there is an issue with the bleed air system or the packs in the plane…
Maybe time to retire this aircraft- ya think??
I am a United member …makes me think twice about maybe changing my Airline of choice. 🤔
So does the Qatar a380 report of smoke in the cockpit , prompting an immediate retuning to Doha, get a post as well???
Some more elusive engine bleed air events.
Always better to find smoke before takeoff than twenty minutes after.
I have been watching aviation related videos/documentaries for a while and it seems that 80% of crashes/incidents happen at or going to Schiphol airport. I am never flying to or from that airport, EVER!
Nothing to see here – aircrew were made aware of a problem, and chose not to take it into the air. Followed the correct procedure with an RTO and chose to carry out an evacuation (their prerogative – they were there and made the decision on what they knew and could see). Did I really hear that it took 10 minutes for the Emergency services to arrive? They could have all been dead in that time….
I don't have a problem with United taking their 777s deep into their lives, that airframe is good for 180,000 flight hours, however they gotta make sure they are well maintained and looked after in that event.
Maybe they should let us know what our planes are that we fly on any of the incidents before our flight so we can change airplanes if worried
Is this yet another problem emerging with the Boeing product, or simply an hours issue where upon components are at the end of there life cycle? Would be interesting to find out.
Unrelated incidences
Too much talking, not enough footage. 😕
Hard to believe there is no footage of pax evacuating the aircraft.
i remebeer seeing n787ua fly over my house once!
Maybe it's time to retire that airplane.
10 minutes. No way. That is awfully slow.
