Do we even know who the pilots were yet? Even if they were female or people of color are we really going to pin this incident on that? good grief.
It was humor, I wasn't trying to make a point but the race of the two women never crossed my mind until I was called a racist.
Blame me for the "vile shit" on this thread won't you? Posts number 3,4 and 5 are where the vile shit started but they were from left posters....things didn't get vile until someone from the right followed those posters lead.
Saw another commercial airline pilot on one of the 24/7 news stations say that while it was definitely a firm landing he’s personally had harder landings and it seemed this could be a mechanical issue.
Very humorous. You got the racism and misogyny duo but missed the opportunity for the trifecta by leaving out dwarfism.
My politics are different. What is different about making jest of DEI policy from a leftist view and a righty view?
this, that right side landing gear failed. took an uneven load but should have been within tolerances. son is in A & P program right now and you can bet the inspection and repair logs are being groomed with a fine tooth comb right now. could be structural failure from fake parts too. something caused that right landing gear to fail
It looked like the pilot was crabbing a little for the crosswind and didn't straighten up soon enough so the right side gear took the majority of the shock on the touchdown. I was a pilot years ago, haven't flown in a while like 36 years, but it sure looked the right gear failed.
Something I noticed and I am in no way an expert but I am a private pilot. I heard on the news last night that the winds were pretty high. I don't know if they were a headwind or a crosswind but if it was a crosswind from the left the left wing should have been lower than the right wing. It wasn't so it is possible that a gust of wind might have got under the left wing and created enough lift for the right wingtip to catch the ground. Not saying that is what happened but it was my initial thought when I saw the film.
LOL wish I would have seen your post before I posted. Sounds like we have about the same experience. It has been about 45 years since I have flown.
I’m no pilot but a commercial pilot quoted in this article states that from what he saw the pilots did what they were supposed to in crabbing. I wonder if the hard initial impact on a single gear that was worn out will ultimately be the cause? What pilots say could have caused a Delta plane to flip belly up Stephens said the plane landing in Toronto likely would have been flying in at an angle to handle the strong crosswinds. "Crabbing," as the common technique is known, involves pointing the plane's nose slightly into the wind to stay on course and straightening out just before landing. Given the direction of the winds in this case, the procedure would have involved landing on the right landing gear first and keeping the right wing down into the crosswind before settling on the left main gear followed by the nose gear for a full touchdown. "The pilots are looking straight down the runway, and they're trained not to pull that wing out, so to me, they're doing what they're supposed to do," Stephens said.
that gear definitely failed. shocking how quickly the wing came off but I guess it is designed that way. much like a nascar car or f-1 car flies into a million pieces every bond that is broken absorbs energy and removing the fuel tank from the fuesalage might not be a bad thing. parts and logs are going to be critical.
I didn't see the pilot flare the plane out either, he hit really hard. Good analogy on the race car as well.
Where is your outrage for posts #3, #4 and #5? I missed it. I know you must have posted it because you wouldn't be a selective hypocrite.
None of those posts are outrageous. #4 was semi-outrageous only in that it predicted exactly where the memebrains would immediately go!
Ah, yes... Those posts started the narrative- yet no outrage... The two faced irony is off the charts.
