February 18Feb 18 “Holy fuck” video guy (with captions no less) seams like he sucks. Glad everyone survived.

February 18Feb 18 They need to find and prosecute whatever passenger took their phone off airplane mode before landing. How completely reckless!

There's also a first person video I've seen of a guy exiting the plane... what stupid little animals we are.

February 18Feb 18 Looks from the video that the pilot flying just dropped it onto the runway too hard and right gear failed.
February 18Feb 18 How tf did no one die? That’s a pretty significant fireball. Judging from the multiple videos of the plane coming in for landing as well as the quick response from the ARFF units I’m guessing they knew they had an issue and had called the alert in to the tower.

Otherwise, I’d be wandering around the tarmac, trying to find the nearest shopper’s drug mart, and working up my story to convince the pharmacist to sell me insulin and syringes. “no seriously, I was just in a plane crash and need my insulin” T1D problems
February 18Feb 18 Author video shot from the cockpit of the next in line for takeoff clearly shows the gear structure just failed completely it is amazing that it did not protrude up through the cabin and impale pax sitting directly above i experienced a crj landing gear issue in '10 that included caf fighters scrambling to visually inspect the front gear in flight while we burned off gas to return to pearson

I'm sure they could get that sorted out for you pretty damned quickly. Meanwhile 4-5 assholes are rooting through the underhead? bins in a burning fucking plane.
February 18Feb 18 that POV vid from the next plane up... am I the only one that thinks the rear landing gear didnt look "down".... I realize it could be an optical angle thing, or maybe exactly how the landing gear is supposed to look on that model but those back wheels dont seem to be locked down, it kind of looks like they are sitting at something like 80-85°

Now the question is going to be wind shear on the final portion of descent or visual altitude spatial disorientation due to whiteout/snow confusing the horizon. My guess is that they are going with pilot error on this one. They hit extremely hard (1100 fpm is the current estimate vs. the normal 500-600) and unless there was a major wind sheer in the final portion of descent or something else odd found in the blackbox data, the NTSB is going to go with the obvious here.

When an incident happens on a runway, the response is much different than your average 911 response. ARFF units can’t proceed across the yellow line until cleared by the tower to do so. Tower will only clear you to do that if all traffic is halted. If we have a heads up (pilot calls in the alert prior to attempting landing, that can be accomplished before they land and units can be staged on the tarmac and once plane has made ground contact they will immediately proceed to the aircraft. Given how quickly they got there and put the fire out, I’m going to guess that is what happened because I don’t know shit about flying planes, just picking up the pieces after they don’t land so well.

Also don’t know shit but how dramatic of an effect does wind speed have on lift, relative to the speed of the plane? This was a crosswind, yes? If it’s blowing at 10 or whatever the max allowed is, and suddenly drops to say 2, would that be sufficient to cause the plane to lose enough lift to cause the vertical decent that happened?
