Seems to have landed safely

Did they get their landing gear down?

Wasn't hydraulics the issue back in 1989 (?) with the Sioux City crash?

 

[cubsker15]

Yes, they had none in that case.

 

[mgbreeze]

Yes, they had none in that case.

That's a fascinating story. There was a flight training pilot on board who had done simulations of similar failures and had experience trying to maneuver using only throttles. It was incredible that they got to any airport and that anyone survived.

Crashing a plane?

Crashing a plane?

112 died but 184 survived. Without the said landing ability all 296 die. So either you are trying to because smart *** or your a complete stupid fin jjerk? I will let you answer.

That plane didn’t land

That plane didn’t land

It was close

 

[cubsker15]

That plane didn’t land

Coming anywhere near a runway where rescue services were present was an amazing achievement. If you want to be a dick, then fine.

 

[RBigredMax1]

It was close

It’s starting to look like a landing.

 

[WHCSC]
