Gosh not another accident. My condolences to everyone on board.
This year has really been a bad one. I hope we don’t see any more incidents by the end of the year.
Thats like 3 major incidents just in the last 2-3 weeks!
That is a weird flight plan too.
This year has Been auful compared to last year, my thoughts go out to anyone onboard and effected by this. I wonder what caused this.
My prayers go to those involved and their friends and family. Hope no one got any serious injuries.
Thankfully their were no fatalities in the accident.
Third engine separation I’ve seen this year!
Anyone remember this
I really am glad to see that no fatalities are reported. And @TheFlyingKiwi I’m sorry if that’s off topic!
Oh thank god. That is good news.
Pilots and atc should really be more cautious about letting planes land in heavy thunderstorms. And there were heavy thunderstorms at the time of this incident!
If I am not mistaken the engines are designed to break away in cases like this? I thought I read that when it was mentioned about the one in Mexico.
Video from inside.
Prayers go out to those affected. This has beem a horrible few weeks.
If you look in that video, the plane was left of the centerline before touchdown, and nearly off the runway when the main gears made contact with the runway.
Weather looks bad too
The fact that they landed quite far on the runway,I think this is pilot error as it should had been a go-around
Most likely otherwise I assume the wing would get ripped off or the plane could flip.
I hear two different stories. One says the plane overshot the runway, and the other says it skidded off the runway
Well do you mean overshot or overran? Because they mean two very different things as overran is where the plane touches down but does not stop in time and overshot is where it crashes past the runway
The site is saying it overshot
