Just like no pilot would ever crash into the seawall short of 28L in broad daylight with unlimited visibility. In that case the pilots knew what was about to happen seconds before impact and they were powerless to stop it. I could easily see the same thing happening here. Airplanes are big cumbersome objects with a ton of inertia.

- WalterBright 9y agoInertia wasn't the problem for that accident. It takes several seconds for the engines to spool up, and they didn't have any seconds to spare.
