It came down really, really hard, gear collapsed asymmetrically it seems, causing it to roll to the side and sheer one wing off then start rolling.
And FWIW, the conditions of the runway were, by all reports, excellent. It was considered "dry" conditions.
- beerandt 2y agoATC calls out gusts at 33kts on his clearance call. Not excellent, especially if it's cross.
- llm_nerd 2y agoRunway conditions and landing conditions are not the same. The landing conditions were challenging. The runway conditions were considered dry. This is in contrast to various comments, including in here, bizarrely claiming that the runway had inches of "packed snow" and so on, apparently based upon a final crash scene that wasn't actually on the runway.
- beerandt 2y agoOk but 1) both are critical and 2) if it's been snowing and there's 33kt gusts idk how the runway stays snow/ice/moisture free.
- WalterBright 2y agoLooks like security cam footage. Not one set up to view the flight ops, as the view is obstructed by a building and a fence.
- llm_nerd 2y agoYou said "I've not seen any video of the crash. Usually, when there's a crash, dash cam or other amatuer video caught it.". This is video of the crash. What's the problem? Airports have cameras of course, though they have no obligation or value in providing it to placate social medias rush for content.
- WalterBright 2y agoThe problem is relying on incidental random footage, rather than an organized system that monitors the flight ops 24/7. > they have no obligation or value in providing it to placate social medias rush for content. That's correct, it is not about social media clicks. It is about gathering evidence properly to determine the cause of the crash.
