huh...looks like the pool guy my ex-wife hired about 6 months before our divorce. 

He cleans the pool?

how the hell did that thing end up upside down?

Slowly, it turned…. step-by-step…… inch by inch.

Then pisses on the rug?

“Holy fuck” video guy (with captions no less) seams like he sucks. 
 

Glad everyone survived.

420 whole hours? Is it too much to ask to proofread your tweets?

Not a serious tweet... 

Jesus, apparently it is too much to ask of a dumbshit internet poster like me to reread a tweet and catch an extremely obvious joke.

God damnit. Read all the replies first. Surly 101. I'll take my 50 lashes. 

How tf did no one die?  That’s a pretty significant fireball.

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

Thanks for posting this version, I didn’t realize it was taken by another crew

or the passengers that are clearly getting off WITH their luggage.  

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

Fireball happened outside the fuselage as the wings broke off and the fuel ignited and burned off quickly, I think. 

It's still astounding that there were zero fatalities out of that.  Mind bottling.

Looks from the video that the pilot flying just dropped it onto the runway too hard and right gear failed.

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.

NGL. In the same situation, I’d grab my laptop bag and get my insulin.

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”

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

Every passenger on that plane is going to get checked out by EMT/Med staff at the airport.  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. 

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°

Lots of early analysis on the descent data and its all coming back as coming in way too hot with minimal flare. 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.

Yes, and I said that above. 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.

We're assuming the plane is upside down. It's possible it's the planet that flipped.

I suspect several someone’s from Endeavor and the FAA will want to have a word with the individual recording from the flight deck.

At least you’d be in Canada and it’d be like $4

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?
