SWA 737 CA gets cold cocked by HUD when the HUD latching mechanism fails during the takeoff roll, resulting in severe concussion to the Captain (so severe he started vomiting, classic post concussion symptom).
FO calmly takes control , safely returns, lands and even taxis to gate without tiller.
@mad dog double check that HUD!!!
This is all so impressive.
That’s wild. I’m having a tough time imagining the physics behind this one. Mechanism must have really failed suddenly and totally. Or maybe it came loose altogether, fell off, and hit him? I can picture that causing injury a little more easily.
